Thorn Hollow, WlUch Committee
Strongly lnvors.
That the Cayuse springs fulfills all
of the requirements s a source of
supply for a gravity water system is
the conclusion which Mayor W. F.
Matlock has reached aftker ar Inves
tigation conducted upon his own InF
tlative and he will make a suggestion
to that effect to the board of water
commissioners which has already
made a tentative selection of the
Thorn Hollow springs. This was the
statement made by the mayor this
nf.ernoon but he made it plain that
he has no intention of usurping the
privileges vested in the commission.
"I have had J. W. Kimbrell make
an investigation," he said, "and from
hi3 report I believe the Cayuoe
springs to be the most desirable
source of gravity water supply. In
constructing a gravity water system
for Pendleton, there are three re
quirements which must be met. The
source of supply must afford a flow
of 2,000,000 gallons of water aany,
the new reservoir must have four
times the capacity of the present res
ervoir and the elevation of the source
must be sufficient to force the water
to a level forty faet higher than the
present reservoir. In my estimation,
the Cayuse springs meet these re
quirements." "There is no question as to the flow
from the springs. Engineering esti
mates place the minimum flow in
summer at 3,500,000 gallons daily, al
most twice as much as will be need
ed here in many years. With a twenty-four
inch pipe lire. I am informed
that the water can be raised forty
feet above the level of the present
reservoir. A reservoir of four times
the capacity of mo present one is
necessary for fire protection. With
two million gallons stored there and
an inflow of 2.000,000 gallons daily,
we would have enough for all needs."
"This investigation has been a side
issue with me, for the biff aim of my
administration will be to secure per
manent improvements for the prln-

DOG IXJUGHT FIUEMEX.
Would Xot Allow Them to Enter
Blazing Tenement.
Philadelphia, Pa. An old and
feeble but somewhat determined dog
created considerable excitement in a
three story tenement house at 623
Washington avenue, first by starting
a fire, then giving the alarm and,
lastly, by beating back the firemen
who came to extinguish the blaze.
The troublesome animal is the pro
perty of Santo Accarito, who occu
pies the top floor of the house. While
the occupants of the house were
asleep, the dog knocked a lamp from
a table, setting fire to the carpet.
With loud barks the dog aroused
his master, who quickly gave the al
arm and all In the hotse fled to the
street, except the dog. When the
firemen arrived and attempted to en
ter they found a very much excited
canine standing in the doorway ready
to repel boarders.
Although somewhat senile, (the dog
showed a formidable row of teeth
and the firemen hesitated. Finally
one, somewhat bolder than the rest,
flung the dog to one side and the fire
fighters entered.
TBAIXS SPAUROWS TO SIXG.
Indiana University Graduate Hears
Them With Canaries.
Bloomington, Ind. A graduate of
Indiana university. Dr. L. Conradt.
now of Clark university, has trained
young sparrows to sing like canary
birds by simply putting them with
the songsters. Dr. Conradt has been
making experiments with the much
despised sparrow for several years,
and his work has now been crowned
with success. Professor M. E. Hag
gerty of Indiana university has been
conducting experiments much along
the same lines In connection with his
study of the imitative behavior of
animals He savs that it is now a
known fact that the young sparrows
when placed with the canary win im
itate that bird ana pick up many oi
its notes."

Cooler Weather Welcomed.
Farmers and fruitgrowers In par
ticular are welcoming gladly the cool
er weather which has succeeded the
two weeks of springlike days. Un
der the influence of the warm sun
shine and refreshing showers, vege
tation has been developing prema
turely and the ranchers feel tharthefe
should be several weeks of winter
weather to hold back this- growth.
Fruit buds in particular have been
growing fast, subjecting the horti
culturists to the fear of damage by
frost. The weather turned percep
tibly cooled last evening and during
the night a heavy flurry of snow fell
but soon melted away, during the day.

SHIP IS Tl'KXED OVER
11Y 11 Kit CRIST OV ICK
New York. How a three-masted
schooner had capsized through the
weight of ice on her rigging was told
In a wireless message to the Com
mercial Cable company from the
steamship Mackay Bennett. The
Mackay Bennett, a cable repair ship,
was operating east of Halifax when
she fell In with the Caledonia, a
Nova Scotia vessel which had set out
from Lunenberg, bound for New
York.
The sailing craft had been making
heavy weather, and the sheets of
spray thrown upon her rigging had
frozen. The crew of ten let it be
known that they were anxious to be
rescued from their drifting berg. With
great difficulty, owing to the heavy
sea, they were transferred to the
steamer. Then a towline was run
to the schooner and lanterns hoisted
In her rigging to indicate that she
was under tow. Throughout the en
suing n!i;ht the Pteamer lurched
through the sea, dragging her wallow
ing burden.
When the dawn came a fierce
northwester and the light showed the
schooner sharply eareenud under its
weight of ice. Then came the cap
sizing and the snapping of the tow
line from the strain. The wreck did
not sink and may remain long a men
ace to navigation unless a derelict de
stroyer finds and sinks It. That mar
iners may be warned of its presenco,

Washington, D. C More than
140.000 ncrsons in nine states of the
south were treated for the hook worm
disease by the Rockefeller sanitary
commission during the last year, ac
cording to the second annual report
of the commission.
The grefct value of the work done,
however, was not in the number of
people aided to better health, the re
