DELAY ALL TRAFFIC
All traffic on the n.-W. 1! N.
Jims from Pendleton eastward was
delayed for nearly twelve hours last
night by the burning out of two
bridges at Porter Spur between Huron
and Meaeham. The orig n of the fir
is unknown as there are no forest
fires in that vicinity. The theory ad
vanced that strikers were responsible
for it is scoffed at by railroad peo
ple." The flames were discovered yes
terday nfternoon about 4 o'clock by
the eng'nemen on the helper which
was coming down from Meachani fo
Meet Xo. IS at this city. All of the
section workers between Gibbon and
Kamela were rushed at once to the
Fcene and were at once set to building
cribs to support a temporary track.
At 4:30 this morning this wns com
pleted and No. 18, which left here
nt 5:20 last evening, was the first
train over.
The bridges which were burnt were
the main line bridge and one on a
passing track alongside. Hoth were
tax frame bent structures, 68 feet
long anj fifteen feet high. Work at
replacing them will be commenced
at once.

WATER CASES BE
CONTINUED A YEAR
When Water Commlsloner George
T. Cochran opens his court here
September 1 for the purpose of set
ting for trial the 300 or more water
contest cases which the government
has brought against water users on
Birch creek. McKay creek and part
of the Umatilla river, he will be pre
sented with a motion and affidavit
signed by practically all of the at
torneys for the defendants asking that
the cases be continued for one year
ir, order that the defendants may
have time to measure the water which
they use and thus be prepared to ans
wer thf government's contention that
two and cue-half acre feet per acre
is all th.it is necessary for the pro
duction of crops.
The defendants believe they would
be greatly handicapped should they
be forced to go to trial now. The
law which requires that all users of
water measure accurately the water
used by them lias lint been in oper
ation long and the defendants claim,
they have now no knowledge of the
exm t amount they have been taking
out of the streams but know that
two and c.i.c-half a.-re feet is not suf
ficient lor j, roper irrigation.
in proof of their claims they cite
the state;.,, nts made by Prof. Samuel
Forth v :n "Weil on Water" which

BEAVER STATE USE
WILL BE WINNER
At the Pendleton woolen mills the
full line of samples fur the new Beav
ei State lire, to supplant the old Ra
cine line of in. linn goods, has been
turned out and Major Davidson, new
salesman for the mill, leaves today
on his first trip in behalf of the lo
cal mill. After going to Portland
and the sound he will go eastward
through Washington. Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming and other states to Chicago.
He will leturn via the southwest vis
iting all the principal Indian reserva
tions while away.
In the I'ew Heaver State line some
splendid ratterns have been turned
out by the mill. They were designed
under the direction of Major David
scu and are Intended particularly for
the Indian trade with which Major
Davidson Is thoroughly familiar ns n
result of his long experience as rep
resentative of the Racine line.
The new patterns are all of strik
ing design and are set designs in
which respect they are unlike the
Pendleton line which has "all -over"
figures mid which are more apprecl
ater by the white trade. The new
robes also lack the long nap which
makes .he Pendleton line popular
with many.
Major Davison declares the Pendle
ton mill Is the best equipped mill in
the Fnlted States for turning out the
line of goods he Is handling. He Is
immensely pleased with the work be
ing done with his favorite line nnd
U hopeful of fine results ns the rep
resentative of the local mill.
