STATE OFFICIAL
E
OLCOTT SAYS TD.IP TO CENTRAL
OltKOOX HAS NO CO.NXECTIOX
WITH RKCENT ACTION OX THE
TOIALO RESERVOIR.
After rounding out their trip to
Central Oregon with an auto ride to
Tumalo, Prineville and Redmond to
day. Secretary of State Ben W. Olcott
and his party from Salem plan -to re
turn to the capital city tonight. Rus
sell Catlin, L. Palmer and J. R. Linn,
all of whom are Interested with Mr.
Olcott in the Pilot Butte ranch south
of Bend, accompanied nim on the two
days' Jaunt in this vicinity.
Contrary to the belief of many that
he had come here to look over the
Tumalo reservoir, Mr. Olcott stated
this morning. ' "My visit was essen
tially a business trip and had no con
nection with the recent action in re
gard to the Tumalo reservoir." he
said. "Although we planned to
motor over in that neighborhood to
day, it was merely In order that the
men who are with me might see
what has been accomplished in de
veloping the territory. We want to
compare it with our own work at the
ranch."
Mr. Olcott Is what he calls a "pio
neer of 1910," as that is the year in
which he became definitely interested
:n Central Oregon homesteads. He
makes trips here frequently but this
has been the first one this season
Ho is enthusiastic over the country
and believes it to be well worth put
ting forth efforts to develop.
WATER'S ODD TASTE
PURITY GUARANTEE
Have you noticed the funny taste
in the water lately?
It's- been there, very evident to
some people whose sense of taste is
acute, and less so to others. Some
have not noticed it at all, or only at
certain times. But this will be the
last day on which you will find the
taste present, according to Manager
Foloy. of the Bend Water, Light &
Power Co.
The taste has been caused by the
sterilization equipment used at the
town plant of the company to purify
water taken from the Intake there.
Ordinarily, Mr. Foley has pointed out,
the city water comes from several
miles up river, being taken out in the
Central Oregon flume and then piped
to the city reservoirs and mains. For
the past 10 days, however, because of
repairs to tho hendgate It has been
Impossible to obtain tho water there
nnd the supply has been pumped from
the river at tho plant.
At the plant the wator has come
through tho logging pond and has
boon subject to contamination so that
as a purifying measure a small quant
ity of chlorine gas Is mixed with It
as It goes Into tbe mains. That is
what hns made the taste. Tomorrow
the flume will be tn shape again to
deliver wnter and the chlorine -will
bo cut out. It does not hurm any
thing but gnrms, but It does taste.
Wnter is pumped from tho river nt
tho plant only ss an -emergency meas
ure nnd the chlorine attachment Is
used there to assure wuter free from
germs.
