Keyua of n leiiKthy written report on

II. W. Hkuse nnd It. J. Overturf,
members of thu committee.
The report declared that results
already atttilned had shown the leaks
In the Tumnlo reservoir to bo cur
able, that water could not be diverted
from the DhhcIiuIwi unions a surplus
worn provided hy ntorni;o, and that
thoro Is no rnnnnn for hellovliif; that
a reservoir nt thn houdwuters of tho
river would hold any hotter than thnt
which Is now partly lu use on tho

would ho any chance of socurhiK from
tho stnto $225,000 fur tho diversion
canal, and an even creator sum for
thn development of u storaKOroaor

Tho committee, however, expressed

Good Things Now In Market
Thnukaglving dinners thin year

and fata are used lu any quantities.

prediction of ut leant two members
of the city council. Tho general opin
ion held hy all In that the general
fund Is In neod of replenishing to
it much more liberal extent In order
to euro for maintenance of public
utilities anil provide special allow
ntices for flro protection, honlth pre
cautions and similar conditions.
The finance commltteo composed
of Clyde M. McKay, K. I Hrostor
lions and Louis Dennett will hold a
meeting puwilbly thn oarllor part of
next week to prepare a buuVot, a
preliminary outline of which has been
under consideration for somo tlmo.
ThU budget will be submitted at the
next rneotltig of thu city council
December 4, nnd an opportunity will
M given the taxpayers to discuss tho
finances.
Iludget Drlii) cd.
Much of the budget Is now hanging
fire mi account of the proposed
amendment to the charter which
would mako tho Bancroft net ap
plicable In Hend and would save tho
necessity of placing street and sower
Improvements as items In tho ex
penditure. Sufficient funds will of
cuurso bo required for malntonanco
of these. '
In thu absenco of Mr. McKay in
La Grande, tho othor two members
of tho committer wcro uuablo to
make doflnlto statements as to tho
probable action of the committee.
Mr. ISrostcrhous, speaking from his
ownv!ewpolnt regarding the matter
Mild, "I would bo In favor of Increas
ing thft lovy two to sevon mills as wo
uood It In tho general fund. It la
vary likely that special sums will bo
designated to bo put aside for thu
principal public utilities this year in
order to assure that they will receive
enough. Wo are putting l(i more fa
cilities for fire prevention which will
require ,a considerable expenditure
during tho coming yoar. This depart-
f Continued on last pago.)

Tho more substantial necessities of

(From Saturday's Dally.)
Fear that A. L. Mackintosh, of this
city, prominent Central Oregon sheep
man, and until recently commissioner
In Deschutes county, may havo gone
down on tho Joseph Pulitzer, four
weeks over-duo on tho run from
Portland to tho Aleutian Islands, was
expressed this morning by F. S. Stan
loy, president of the C. O. I. com
pany, on his roturn to Uend after a
business trip to Portland. Mr. Stan
ley talked with a number of shipping
mon on the waterfront just beforo
coming back to Uend, nnd stated that
It is the general belief that tho Pulit
zer must have sunk In one of Ibo tor
rifle ocean storms raging not Ions
ago.
Associated with Dr. A. C. Smith,
Portland banker, Mr. Mackintosh had
mado plans for extending his sheep
business to the Aleutians, whore a
comparatively mild cllmato with
abundant grazing combine to mako
a venture of the kind attractive. Tho
Pulitzer, an ancient yacht, but equip
ped with steam power, was chartered
by Dr. Smith, and Mr, Mackintosh,
set out tor Alaska, normally a 14
days' run. A number of carpenters
wore taken, and sheep: wero loft un
til ,tbo following voyage.,
(Iimicc For Safety Left.
According to Mr. Staulcy, tho Pulit
zer was not considered by Portland
shippers as especially seaworthy, and
ho states that Mr. Mackintosh was
warned against taking the trip la
such a vessol, at this tlmo of year.
Immediately after Mr. Stanley was
interviewed this morning, a telegram
wos sent Dr. Smith, asking lu regard
to Mr. Mackintosh, a' reply coming
early this afternoon, as follows:
"Mackintosh and schooner, Joseph.
Pulitzer ovordue at Dutch Harbor,
Alaska, but headwinds account for
delay. No cause yet tor alarm."
Was Hero In Knrly Full.
Mr. Mackintosh was last in Bend
early in tho fall, ami It was on Octo
ber 11 that his Informal resignation
as county commissioner was nude
public, It being generally understood
that his new business venture in the
north mado It impossible for him to
glvo as much time as he thought
proper to tho county work. Mr. Mack
intosh's official withdrawal, however,
was never recolved by tlio county
court, and because ot this tho matter
of appointing n successor was do
layod although a numbor woro known
to havo aspirations In tho direction
ot tho commlsslonershlp.
