Then Mr. Stevenson related an oc­
currence in Iowa some fifty years
ago. As a youth he was employed
with a pile-driver crew. As the two-

times veered a little to one side or
the other. Mr. Stevenson’s duty was
to so place a chip on the head of the
timber that the next blow would
tend to right this irregularity. To
do this he leaned over, under the
rising hammer.

A consolidated water district in­
cluding 18 cities in the central Wil­
lamette valley ia projected. Action
is necesary within the coming year
or so because the capacity of present
water systems of these cities is al­
most reached.
The total valuation of the present
water plants of these towns is (1,-
980, 000. If additional investment is
made on present system s tba val­
ue of these plants would be mater­
ially increased. This is to be pre­
vented if possible except to care for
immediate needs in order not to aug­
ment the cost of th e system s wh oh
must be discarded.
Rhea Luper, state water engineer,
and George F. Edmondstone, Port-
lrnd, formerly engineer for the Ore­
gon Electric railway, estimate the
flow of snow-cold, lava-filtered water
emerging from Clear lake at 906,-
000,000 gallons per day. Bull Run
furnishes Portland a maximum of
75, 000,000 gallons per day, which is
to be increased to 100,000,000 gal­
lons. It is estimated that the cost
of the projected water system, which
would supply the valley from Eu­
gene to Salem, would be about »9,-
500,00(7 if steel’ pipe were used and
about »7,200,000 for wood pipe. The
pipe line would be 125 miles long.
Brownsville Briefs
It is not easy to believe that with
the capital probably available the
cheaper and less durable wood pipe
will be considered.
Engineer« declare that the first
falls on the M oKenzi* below tha
lake will furnish 36,000 kilowatts
and the second fella 72,000. Mr.
Anderson says that all his work ia
the matter is for the people of Ore­
gon only, and shall not ba turned to
the benefit of private interests.
More people are now in tha valley
than Portland had when first it un­
dertook its Bull Run project and Sec­
retary of State Koxer mentioned Bull
Run as an example of not building
sufficiently large for the inevitable
future growth of Oregon. Power un­
der the Clear lake plan, Governor
Pierce says, could be delivered to the
people to compete with »8 wood for
heating purposes.
Mr. Anderson has a vision not on­
ly of cheap and pure water for all
of us, but of light and power at •
coat within tha reach of farm home«*
and of highways through the coun­
try lighted up at night like city
streets.

second setting aside the water in the
