Sam’s domain has ever given or af­

and the fruit and the lumber and
other innumerable resources, and
for the conversion of these into
material for the settlement of the
country and the building of towns
and cities there is a demand not to
lx: denied. We have what the rest
of the country is reaching after,
what outside people by the regiment
are coming here to develop and to
enjoy. We have a class of pros-
perity here in Oregon that does not
depend on stock quotations, and,
what is more to the point, the people
who hold in the aggregate the bulk
of this wealth are aware of the ad-
vantage they’ enjoy. So, when in
the local money centers, for the bet­
ter protection of all concerned,
there is inaugurated a temporary
policy somew hat out of the common,
there is no occasion for nervousness
and as a matter of fact there is no
nervousness. No cowardice of the
million dollars is manifest on this
occasion, nor of the smaller aggre­
gates of dollars for that matter.
There is general and absolute faith
in the soundness of prosperity in the
Pacific Northwest, faith that is not
embodied in the mere assertion, but
in the calm restraint of common
sense. There is no occasion for
financial hysterics, no perceptible
worrying over the outcome. Every­
one believes that the solidity of
Oregon business is not to be dis­
solved by the breath of speculation.

The city administration is moving
as rapidly as possible toward a solu­
tion of the city waterworks problem
and it is hoped in a short time to
have an abundance of water again
at the service of the water patrons.
The right of way to the source of
the water supply has been cleared
and a force of men are at work under
the direction of P. I., Phelan, of the
water committee, and the foreinan-
ship of Fin Hartley, in digging the
necessary trenches to lay new’ pipe.
Six thousand feet of four-inch stand­
ard iron pipe with screw joints, to
be treated with asphalt inside and
out, has been ordered, and the first
consignment is expected this week.
This will be laid where the pressure
is the greatest between the source of
supply and the reservoir on the hill,
carrying the water over Carey creek.
The best of the wooden pipe will be
saved for using the balance of the
distance and repairing the system in
the city. The new piping has been
ordered in Portland at a cost of 28
cents a foot aboard the steamer.
The new pipe will be installed as fast
as possible and the regular pressure
restored to the city mains.

face; a dam 1,400 feet long, made
with two rows of piling, filled with
fascines and rock; a rip-rap ’shore
protection at the lower end of the
dam 400x75 feet, made by sloping
the bank, placing fascines and

The work is located 12 miles below’
