F PIPE LliyE WORK IT E Work will begin immediately on the preliminary details 'for the construc tion of a new"" pipe line to Hayden bridge on the MeKenzie river, and the new reservoir Jn Eugene, for which a total . of $.110,000 in bonds were voted at the city election yes terday, according to C. A. MeCIain, superintendent of the city water board. "The first step, of course, will be for The council to get out transcripts and advertise for bids on these bonds," said Mr. McClain. "This, however does not prevent us from go ing rich? ahead with plans for getting the construction work under way, which we are doing. Survey Finished "We have finished the general sur vey on the Mi-Kcnzie rivef project, and now that the honds hove been voted, we will start immediately to wards completing preliminary details for the work. If the bonds are sold at once; we can start work within the next two months, and will he able to have the project complete for 1020. The job will be a contract job, and we will nk for bids on several differ ent kinds of pipe. We estimate that nproximately 40 per cent of the amount to be spent on the work will be for labor." Rcsorvotra Planned The new reservoir, which includes a second level reservoir on Kairmount heights, two pumps and extension line, wiii be built on a very close margin according to Mr. McClain. Bids on the construction will be called for just as soon on the money becomes available, but it will probably be late this summer before the work is com plete. When the board built the col lege bill reservoir the bids w,ere op ened April 3, and the work was not over until September 1. Plans are being made by the water hoard to use the fire reservoir as an emergency reservoir this summer, by aid of a booster pump, to operate dur ing the season when the water de mand reaches the peak load.

This prediction was made by Mayor E. B. Parks today, who. declares the peculiar predicament into which the voters have forced the council by re pudiating their approvnl of n measure they already have passed, and which is being tacld up in the litigation over the municipal bond issue, may in the erd cost the city more s thnn $10Qi more than expected. Situation Complicated. 'It is quite probable that many voters went against this measure be causethey thought it was for new ap paratus, and not just to free the measure from its lenl entanglements"' sadi Mayor Parks. "We own the ap paratus, have contracted to pay for it. nnd the vote yesterday simply com plicates the nituatlon further. I am greatly disappointed over the matter, but tbe hejt the council enn do now is to await develouments. I have tele phoned H, A. Long and company of Portland to send a representative down at once to confer with regard to the situation." It. A. Long and company is the firm representing the American La France Fire Apparatus company, from which the fire engines were bought. Their agents hafe the alternatives, accord ing to Mayor Parks, of compelling the city to call another city election to get payment for the purchnse, by filing a suit in tlie courts; or by starting man damus proceedings against the muni cipal corporation, compelling the city to levy a tar sufficient to pay the judgment. $23,500 Involved. The amount involved ia $2,'l.r00 for the two pieced of equipment. The city if compelled to pay, by the courts, will have the interest to pay in addition, the mayor states, whereas if the measure would have been approved at yesterday's election, the principal only would have had to be paid.

Bauer of Corvallis to Succeed Ben F. Dorris Of Eugene Opposition of Local Man .Cost Him His Post, Is Statement SALEM, Ore., April 10. Political differences and a breach in friendship that has been widening since early in the late legislative session caused Governor Pierce yesterday to oust Ben F. Porris of Enceno from the state game commission. The governor appointed M. II. Buuer of Corvallis to fill the vacancy. The schism between Dorria and the governor was started when Dorris early in the legislative session is said to have showed himself in favor of taking the appointment of the fish and game commissions out of (he hands oi the governor nnd placing them in the hands of the state board nf control. " Govprnor Calls. The governor yesterday afternoon called Dorris by telephone at Eugene and requested him to send in hi; resignation by letter, Dorris replied that he wanted some time to consid' the matter, whereupon tho governor said he wanted to lake action immed lately and that he would remove Dor ris without waiting for bin resigna tion.
