Ily filing upon a power site on the Umatilla river two ml lea below Wo naha springs the Pendleton water commission has also entered Into the race for power rights. As a result of the action of the commissioners the city may now secure power for a municipal electric plant should it deem it advisable to install one. Th power site whs filed upon by the coinmlslnne rs some time ago, but the fact was not made known until yes terday when T. J. Brown, chairman of the commission, filed with the county clerk a copy of the filing no tice. I'nJer the terms of the filing made by the water board the city takes tho right to about 10,000 Inches of water from the I'm.-itlJIa river. The loca tion of the site Is In section 23 and ia two miles below Wenahu. It Is also below the end of the tall race for the lower power ite now held bjf the com pany of which .J. A. Borle is the head. The city takes the right to use the water for either power or domestic purposes According to J. T. Hrown, chair man mt the water board, the power site was filed upon by the water com mission as a precautionary measure. They may find that a municipal plant lr. not needed. Yet it Is the- Intention of the commission to do the neces sary amount of work upon the prop ortion so as to hold the power and the filing will be renewed when It ex pires. The work of Investigating the sup ply of water in the mountains with a view to establishing ft gravity sys tem is still going on.

Hut according to the commissioners they have decided upon no definite plans and they may be unable to do so for some time to come. The problem seems to be how to secure an adequate supply for tho city and still have the cost of the project i-ufflciently low that the bonds may be sold.
