Harry Wheeler, representing tho na tional transportation conference, to day placed before congress a new and comprehensive plan for solving the railroad problem, including re turn of tho railroads to private ownership, as soon as remedial leg islation Is enacted providing for strong competitive systems. According to the plan, all Inter state carriers will be required to submit as corporations to federal Jurisdiction, while the interstate commerce commission will be given additional powers over rates. Wheeler testified before the house in the interstate and foreign com 01100 conferences. ing the past year, and also the fact that 25 per ceat. . of all season ticket sales above the guarantee goes to the local association. The contracts, when fully signed up, will remain In the hands of the guarantors until the standing of the Chautauqua company can be fully Investigated.

The building will be divided into two and three room apartments, each of which will be equipped with all the modern built-in effects, electric range and heated with steam. There will be 16 apartments in all. Every detail will receive the most careful consideration, as I shall be the builder myself. The grounds, when selected, will be made beautiful. "Much depends on the rapidity with which I can finish the jobs I have on hand when I shall be able to commence work, but this much is certain: I have definitely deter mined lo give Bend a thoroughly modern apartment house." Mr. Carufel came to Bend from Burdette, Minnesota, three years ago and since he has been here he has erected 21 residences in vari ous parts of the city and now has nine residences to be built this summer.

WATER SYSTEM IS INSPECTED CONDITIONS AT INTAKE FOL'XD IX EXCELLENT SHAPE BY COVXCIL PLANK ROOF FOR RESERVOIR TO BE PROVIDED. Accompanied by T. H. Foley, manager of the Bend Water, Light & Power company. Mayor J. A. Eustes and the members ot the city council made a thorough in spection ot the Bnd water system, beginning with the intake at the C. O. I. ditch above Bond, and taking in the company's plant, and finishing with the reservoirs on the west side of the river. At the intake the water passes through a screen, specially- con structed tor the purpose, consisting ot an eight inch wall ot gravel, and retained by two heavy screens, and a second device ot this kind is in stalled at the opening ot the 14 inch main which carries the, city water supply. Mr. Foley explained to the council members that for a short time the bottom ot the screen had been lifted, as the result ot high water, but to prevent a rep etition ot the occurance a frame work, attached to the screen, had boon weighted with rocks. Conditions at the intake and at the plant were found satisfactory, and at the reservoir the corrugated iron root will be replaced with planking, to prevent ' the . possible entrance of any foreign matter, al though In many cities reservoirs are ontlrely open. A water analysis. Just completed at the office of the state health of ficer, shows 'Bend water to contain only 25 bacteria to the cubic centi nioter, with no colon bacilli.

The construction, as contemplated in the survey . already made, will be ot a single unit which will de velop 1500 horse power. The cost of this has not been definitely de termined, Mr. Foley says. Water will be obtained by draining the old Columbia Southern ditch, using 4000 feet of 40 inch pipe for this purpose, returning the water to the creek after it has passed through the plant. The second nnit, which would be constructed later, would be a short distance further down the creek, and would again, make use of the water, developing the same amount of horse power as the first section of the plant. Both units are planned to use the min imum flow of the creek, approxi mately 50 second feet. Farmers Want Lights. . Power will he brought to Bend by a transmission line, .eight miles : in length, but that additional trans minion wires may be strung is in- 'dinned by the fact that a provi sion In the agreement, which is now 'in the Chicago oflce of the com- pa nr. makes It possible for the people of Tumalo to secure electric lighting. The community at De schutes is also anxious to secure city lighting facilities, it is under stood. It is expected that a definite an swer in regard to the agreement, which already has the approval of the state, will be made from the Chicago office within the near future.
