Salem takes lta water directly from the Willamette River. While tha water supply In all these cit ies passes through an elaborate system of filtration. It has proved far from sat isfactory. The atate Institutions at Salem hare alwaya had trouble with their water supply. The water la received from shallow wella. springs and creeks In constant dancer of contamination, and from the city system. The lake for tha proposed aya tem la near the summit of tha Cascade Mountains, at tha head of tha McKentta River. It Is fed directly from tha glaciers of the Three Sisters and tha tee and snow beda In other parts of tha Cascades, and Ita water eould not possibly be contaminated. It Is armed. Should the proposed system be found feasible, after a survey. It would forever eolve the problem of tha water supply for the atate Institutions and tha varloua Willamette Valley cit ies and towns, declare advocates of tha system. gte'Is net LKL At tha meeting of the Board yester duT were present Secretary of State Ol cott.

Its remarkable oVptb t one of Its unusual features. The water Is ao clear that tha bottom can be seen In many places, although the lake Is several hundred feet deep. Its water Is remarkably cold, and the chill is so penetrating; that a person can keep his band In It but a short time. A large spring, which bubbles up on one side of the lake. Is even colder than the water of the lake Itself. It la a custom for those who know Its cold no's to wager with persons visiting; the lake for trie first time. t!at they will la unable to ke.-p their hands In tha water longer than a minute. It la pain ful to keep tha band In the water 10 seconds. Cost Net Yet Flaere. Just how much It would cost to build the water system, or what engineering problems would have to be solved, can not be said until a systematic examin ation of the project has been made. At the meeting; yesterday afternoon the question of compelling the observ ance of better sanitary condttiona on railway trains waa also considered. Among; the measures that the Health Board will take up with the railway companies, with a view to having them enforced, will ba tha prohibition of spitting; on floors and of placing; feet on seat cushions.
