Speaking of the month of Juno the report says: The usunl routine work has been carried on with n full force under vury favoralilo weather conditions. The construction work has beou car ried on from Camps 5. , 7, S and 9. and has bean confined prlncfpally to the lateral system and struct mi un der the feod canal; lateral system un der tho Winter canal: lateral system undor main canal from reservoir: Rull Creek dam and spillway and Tumnlo dam and outlet works. The Scinl-Anmiiil Ileiort. Tho report for tho half year takw up tho several departments and fea tures of tho work beginning with th clerical, accounting and purchasing department. Of this It says: During Juno in the clerical and ac counting department several changes took place In the organization a several of tho timekeepers and sten ographers resigned to take up more permanent positions. Tho remaining force, however, being now fully or ganized and well acquainted with their work will bo able to take care of the enormous amount of work necessary to carry on operations. During tho month S50 letters were written; 10 advertisements sent out. , and miscellaneous purchases were made for merchandise covering 106 purchnse orders and, the prenaratlon of 110 purchase vouchers. Tho pay ment of tho men on payroll and tlmo check rolls aggregated a total of 508 men, 335 of whom were on tho reg ular payroll at tho end of tho month, and 173 to whom were Issued time checks during the month. The gross amount earned by payroll during tho month was $33,79-1.78, deductions were, however, made to the amount of $7,345.61, making the total amount paid during tho month for labor alone $16,449.17. At tho close of Juno thero were on tho pay roll 335 men and 177 head of horses. During tho month 18379 meals were served at an average cost uf 21.31 cents each. Whllo this cost may appear rather low, we are pleas ed to advise that tho messes are fav oring the men with a high claw meal, and no complaints have been register ed. Thls-ts probably due to the fact that i all purchases are made from wholesalers In Portland at a mini mum coat, and also to the fact that, all the cooks at tho present tlmo aro very economical and take special pride In serving a high class meal at a minimum cost. During tho year 1914 up to June 30th, we have sorv ed 73162 meals In our messes at an average cost of 21.89 cents. . Tumnlo Dam. At Tumalo Dam tho work during June has consisted principally of building an earth embankment and placing rip rap on the two sides of the dam, excavating the tunnol an! bringing tho core wall up to tho necessary height to facilitate sluicing operations In the dam. The hauling of earth and gravel material from the barrow pit by moans of dump wagons and teams has proven nul'o tatlsfactory. 14.000 cubic yards of earth was ulaced In the embankment during June at a cost of 28.3 cents) per cubic yard. This cost Incliuta all work In the barrow pit. Including the steam shovel, hauling, placing, and sluicing and distributing tho ma-1 terlal In the dam embankment. The embankment proper Is now about 4 J per cent completed. A very limited amount of rip rap was placed during June, as It has been deemqd advlab'n t to aeiny ineso operations unui wio dam Is further advanced, whon the rln rap can be placed In looser o'sn tltles at a reduced unit price. Only 138 cubic yards wsb placed at an av erage cost of $1.25 per eublc yard, llecnpltulntinn. Work from January 1st, 1914, to July 1st, 1914. Clerical, accounting and mirchn ing department. In this department for this period an pnormou amount of work was turned out with a com paratively small force. The organi zation In charge of this work consists of one chief clerk, a bookkeeper, ono storekeeper, who also has charge of all equipment and supplies, and two stenographers, one of whom attends to the correspondence and filing, while tho other is engaged In writing vouchers and a small amount of cor respondence. These men are now all well trained and as a result the maximum amount of work Is produced through a mini mum of effort. During tho first per. lod of 1914 all the work In connec tion with the purchasing and account ing necossary to establish camps for approximately 350 men has been dis posed off: the equipment record has beep brought to date, and the system of charging tho deprecation on equipment has been changed to a sys tem of oharglng all equipment direct to the features upon which thov are used: about 4800 letters were written during this period: 1985 pay rhecks were written aggregating approxi mately $65,000: 129 offlc'al photo graphs were taken: 39 advertise ments for inercandise and equipment was sent out, and 426 purchase or ders were issued and placed over this period. Some of the most Import ant purchases for tho papt six montht may be enumerated us follows. About 30,000 pounds of beef, three carloads of groceries. 200 barrels of flour were purposed for tho messes at the var ious cumps, and 68 live pigs were also obtained and distributed among tho vnrlous camps to bo fattened by tho refuse from tho camps, and sub sequently killed for meat TotnW Kpemlcl. Attached to this report are tlnnn clal statements, one showing trial bnlauco riving tho totnl amount ex pended to dato as $381,447.86. Krom reforrlng to tho amount expended up to January 1st, 1914. wo tlnd during the part six months wo have vxpoaileil on tho Project n totnl of $174,347.31, lonvlng $118,551.14 still nvnllnblo from the appropriation to bo expend ed from July 1st to Decotnbor 3 1st, of this year. It may b of Interoat, howevor. to note that during tho past six months, In addition to the above amounts we have expended $2511.03 which Is profit on our messes and mercantile store. Of tho totnl amount expended to date of $3tl. 447.S6. only $321,565.34 has been directly charged to tue various fea tures on tho Project. Many Mupt Made. Tho hydrogrnphs of Tumnlo Creok hove been kept up to date, likewise tho topographic and land classifica tion sheets. Maps have been made f tho Project showing ull prlnolpn' roads, canals, dams, nnd towns, in cluding 1-nldlaw, Bend. Deschuti and Cllne Falls. Other maps luuo also been prepared showing tho var ious unlU Into which tho Project bui been divided. Progress profiles of tho construction of tho feed canal, main canal from reservoir havo nlso been prepared monthly. In addition to the other tracings mentioned III has been necessary to design lnur wooden bridges. State IliMid. ' Tho construction of the new Stntoj road around the east sldo of the res ervoir wns commenced during tho j latter part of March, and at the pres ent time Is about SO per cent com-1 pleted. The plans for this fenturo1 calls for a roadway passing over tho Tumnlo dam at the north end of the reservoir and the Butl Creek dam and by-pass at the southern end of tho, reservoir. Tho Dull Creek dam at tho present time Is practically com plete so that tho bridge over tho spillway is now In condition to bo opened for traffic. Tho roadway from tho feed canal south Joining the main Ucnd-Slsters road Is also complete The bridge across the feed canal wan I built In a substantial manner, con sisting of concrete piers and stent ' "I" surmounted by a wooden floor.

Thinking people of every religious creed nnd political belief should givo earnest heed to tho expressions of opinion from eminent di vines, educators, editors, governors, judges, legisla tors, and others prominent in every walk of life, who havo publicly voiced their sentiments concerning pro hibition in worda similar to theso: "Prohibition drives under ground tho mischief which it seeks to cure, making it more diflicult to deal with the evil and impossible to regulate tho trade." Bishop Hall, Vermont "Prohibition has been dis astrous to the causo of tem perance." Bishop Clark, Rhode Island. These men are sinccro and conscientious. They dcploro drunkenness and cry against it as a great evil. Who, in deed, doea not7 Yet they know from observation and experience, that prohibition does not put a check upon intemperance but that, on tho contrary, it gives rise to evil even greater than intemperance itself.

The food eansl Is now all completed so Hint no further nxpou ill tu res ore estimated for that feu turo. In connecllon with the tor ngo works, however, It will probably bo necossary to expend the following iiuiotints on the vnrlous font tiros: Tunnel, slintt, gates, ete., contplolo $18,180.00 Core wall 4.000.00 Hesorvolr roads 1,400.00 Cut off and drain traneliiw i 200.00 Hip rap for Tuiimlo daifl. .4.00 Tumnlo dnm nnibankiUHHt 19.000,00 Poncing Tuinnlo reservoir 1.000.00 Hull Creek dam, cImiiIhk up, etc., at Camp . . . . 1,000.00 Total $.3l.i0 15 por cent for adminis trative and engineering oonllugouules ' 7,100.00 Total $50,715.00 On this renturn it total or $133,200.00 has boon expended lo date.

From our cot sheets we find thoro has been expended to date n total or $331,447.00. Kstlmntetng that this $57,000 will bo expended on the stor age works and front $5000 to $0000 on tho Crater Crook work wo will have approximately $57,000 more that can bo expended during the next six months on the distribution systnni making n total of approximately $122 000 that will be expended on this ronturo. The results or the construction work on the distribution feature to date nro very gratifying," Inasmuch ns the work Is being accomplished less than tho estimated so we are very hopeful that the entire distri bution system will be completed with tho aufount or appropriation available.
