SCARCITY HAS BECOME
A DAILY AND LIVE ISSUE
Not Enough Water for Irrigation and
Fire Protection, ami tlie StrUtcut
Economy Hns Become Imperative
ly Necessary Tlw People. Relievo
Pumping Facilities SlMiuhl bo In
creased ami the Reservoir Kept
Full: Danger from Fire Demands It
The water situation In this city Is
now more serious tnan it nas ever
been and there Is a general demand
from owners of business property and
homes In all parts of the city that
something be done to remedy the
matter.
Never before In Pendleton has wa
ter been as scarce as now, and while
it Is not the desire of the people or
the press to advertise the matter, yet
it is evident that something must be
done to bring the water commission
to realize and appreciate the situa
tion. There was but two feet of water in
the city reservoir this morning at 8
o'clock when there should have been
at least seven or eight feet to fur
nish an adequate eupply for irrlga
tion and fire protection. The pres
sure In all rarta of the city has been
very low for the past week, and in
the higher residence districts on
either hill It has been impossible to
irrigate owing to the low pressure,
Lawns are actually suffering for
water and the only way In which
many residents secure water for lr
rlgating purposes at all Is to get up
at 2 and 3 o'clock In the morning
and irrigate while the town Is asleep.
This Is a most unsatisfactory condi
tion and residents In all parts of the
city are complaining.
The sentiment of the people Is ;
that the pumping facilities should be
Increased and the reservoir kept full
at all times. This is due the city
not only for Irrigating purposes, but
for fire protection. The pressure
from the reservoir is not sufficient to
form adequate fire protection and
there is a general demand from prop
erty owners In the business section
that conditions be Improved, even
though It be at considerable ex
pense. The people on the north side of
the river have experienced more dif
ficulty this season In securing water
than ever before and for many days
it a time have been unable to Irri
gate at all, while water for kitchen
use has been scarce at times. Many
valuable homes and much city prop
erty are thus exposed to danger from
fire needlessly and some decisive ac
tion will be demanded soon If condi
tions are not Improved.
No Water in River.
The water in the Umatilla river Is
very low and It Is doubtful that a
sufficient supply could be secured
even with more pumping facilities.
The pipe line from which the city
supply is drawn will be extended sev
eral hundred feet further up the riv
er bed In hopes of securing an addl
tional water supply, but even this Is
a temporary relief and will answer
for only a few weeks when the sit
uation will be as bad as at present.
The Byers mill race is full of wa
ter but that does not belong to the
people of Pendleton and Is not avail
able for city uses It seems except up
on an extreme emergency.
A canvass of public opinion on the
subject this morning shows that bus
iness men and home owners favor
the construction of a gravity system
of water from the mountains, no
matter what the cost.

ARE ORGANIZING
EMPLOYES TIRED OF
Failure of Fellow Servant Law the
Cause of Solid Antl-Rallruad Or.
conization of Employes Railroad
Politicians and Official Have Kill
ed the Favorite Measure of the
Employes In Five Consecutive Ses
sions of the Legislature.
Political organizers are working
among the railroad employes of this
slate to line them up In a solid voting
machine and to use them in opposi
tion to the railroad program, says
Seattle dispatch to the Oregonlan
The movement started In Tacoma,
hut the story of the program has been
spread among trainmen In most
parts of the state by that time.
The railroad employes only asked
for two pieces of legislation from the
last session. They secured the pass
age of the 16-hour bill, but the senate
defeated the fellow-servant measure
which the railroad men wanted.
As a matter of fact the bill was
beaten by the lumbermill and manu
facturing interests, but as the rail
roads are not paying much attention
to other remedial legislation the em
ployes have obtained In the past the
men are being urged to organize
against the lines to handle their own
political fight next time, and to take
revenge for their long series of do
feats.
As long ago as 1893 the railroads
promised the employes a fellow-
servant bill. Five legislative session
have passed without the bill, and th
employes are "sort." It is declared
In addtion that the railroads are not
obeying the laws Intended to protect
the life and health of their men. The
reports of Track and Equipment In
spector Perley to the state railroad
commission tend to confirm this
claim.
In the past, the railroad employes
have always voted solidly with roads
and against anv plan that threaten
?d to injure their employers. The
men have taken the position that
their Interests were closely allied
with the roads themselves, and have
been a dependable quantity. The
failure of the railroads to reciprocate
In obeying the new protective stat
utes Is claimed to be responsible for
the new political organization.
Charged With Criminal Libel.
Mark D. Scott, editor of the Siou
Falls (S. D.) Journal, was arrested
recently on complalat of Mayor Frank
W. Plllsbury of that city, chargln
criminal libel. Mr. Scott waived ex
amlnatlon and was bound over to the
next term of circuit court In the sum
of 3500, whlrh he readily furnished-
Mr. Scott was formerly publisher of
the La Grande Dally Journal, and

SCIENCE PREVENTS BALDNESS.
The Fatal Germ sad Its Remedy Now
Facts of Scleaee.
It Is the rarest thing In the world for
a man to bs necessarily bald. No man
whose hair Is not dead at the roots, need
be bald If he will use NeWbro's Horpl
clde, the new scalp antiseptic. Herpl
clde destroys the germ that cuts the hair
off at the root; and cleans the scalp ol
dandruff and leaves It In a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block, Butte, Mont, was en
tirely bald. In less than a month Herpl
clde had removed the enemies of hair
growth, and nature did Its work by cov
ering his head with thick hair an Inch
leng, and in six weeks he had a normal
(ult of hair. Sold by leading druggists.
