sion affects the water rates charged

pany. Ooorge H. (Casey) Brewer
la now here preparing data for the
hearing which is expected probably
just after the legislative session
, closes
with the Commission, the average
amount of water used per acre In
1916 was 2.18 feet. On this basis
the proposed charge for which the
company will ask would be $2.16 per
acre. Instead of the flat rate of 75
cents per acre at present. It Is es
timated by those familiar with the
general situation that probably a
compromise may be reached where
by a per-foot rate will be arranged
of about 60 cents, bo that tbe acre
age rate would become about $1.60
Instead of the present 75 cents.
Many are Patrons.

has destroyed his twenty-seventh

young medical men fairly well equip
ped for the medical military ser

claiming the support of both mili
tarists and pacifists In that the
physician and surgeon Is engaged
lu the humane efforts of life saving
throughout tho horrible destruc
tions ot war.
Such a course of training Is not
contemplated with tho sole thought
of war, but also that future members
ot the profession may be prepared

If Bend is to have a fire depart
ment, and Is to purchase equipment
for use of the department, the total
expenditure, including a building to
house .fire-flghtlng apparatus, will
not exceed $16,000. This was the
decision of the city council In a
special session last night, when the
police, fire, and liquor committee,
composed of Councilmen Bennett,
Brosterhous and Sllvis, was instruct
ed to Investigate and report at a
later meeting as to the type ot ap
paratus advisable, and plans tor a
municipal building. Mr. Bennett pre
cipitated the action when he ended
a lengthy general argument with the
statement, "It is of no advantage to
say we went fire protection. Tbe
question Is, what will it cost?"
Aged Petition Filed.
The lack of interest taken In the
question was sbown by the fact that
only 15 citizens of Bend ware pres
ent In answer to tbe general invita
tion for residents of the city to be
on hand to discuss the proposed
move.
An aged petition, asking for the
organization of a volunteer fire de
partment and the purchase of ap
paratus, was brought before the
council, but as none ot tbe men who
backed the plan last year were In
attendance, the document was mere
ly ordered to be placed on file. .

protection might prove an obstacle
to the Investment of outside capital
here, and that the milling industry;
should be given city help in this re
spect. Another of the speakers advised
that the exact effect of the proposed
plan on fire insurance rates be as
