ALTER PLANT WILL BE
COMPLETED III FEW DATS
City is Now Connecting Mains
to Completed and Tested
Filter Units
The proposition of pure water sup
ply is now up to the city. Mr. C. W.
Bagby, who has charge of the installa
tion of the filter plant, says that his
part of the work is now complete and
that he is now waiting for water with
which to operate.
Mr. Bagby has been employed by the
New York Continental Jewel Filter Co.
for approximately ten years, having in
stalled the plant at Oregon City nine
years ago.
The plant here is practically the same
in design as the one at Oregon City,
the only difference being that this is
of one-third greater capacity and im
proved in the detail of operation.
The plant consists of four settling
tanks of 50,000 gallons capacity each,
into which the water is pumped from
the river. After settling, it flows by
by gravity to the filter tanks. There are
four of these, with a total capacity of
three million gallons every twenty-four
hours. Passing through the filters, the
water drops into the storage reservoir
which is beneath the tanks, and from
here it is pumped into the city mains.
The filter tanks are built of wood
and have a double wall. The top of
the inner tank is about three feet be
low the top of the outer wall. The wa
ter enters between the walls and flows
up over the inner wall into the tank.
In this tank is placed thirty tons of
sand, through which the water flows.
The sand is cleaned or washed twice
every twentyfour hours, and oftener if
necessary, twice being sufficient except
when the water is very dirty. The
cleansing process is accomplished by
shutting off the supply, opening the sew
er valve, reversing the direction of the
flow of the water by means of pumps,
and then starting the agitators. In this
way the screens are flushed clean and
the sand stirred and washed, the wash
water flowing into the sewer.
When the water is again sent througn
in the proper direction, the sewer valve
is left open for a few minutes until the
sand has settled and become quiet. In
the operation of cleaning, practically
no sand is lost, so after the tanks are
once filled there is no expense for new
riety, it being of a cream color, fine,
sand.
The sand used is of a peculiar v.i
smoth, clean and insoluble in the com
mon acids. It is obtained from the
Red Wing Sand Co., of Red Wing,
Minn., where there seems to be an in
exhaustible supply along the lake beach.
For the operation of the plant a sin
gle motor of seven and one-half horse
power is used, which is operated inter
mittently. One man is required for op
eration of valves and general mainte
nance.
As soon as the city pumping plant and
supply mains are completed the city
can enjoy the purest water obtainable
anywhere.
THREE CLASSES CHOOSE
DELEGATES TO CONTEST
Delegates chosen by the several class
es to represent the University in the
annual meeting of the Inter-Collegiate
Oratorical Association are as follows:
Seniors, Naomi Williamson and Charles
Robison: Juniors, Birdie Wise and Le
on Ray; Freshmen, Janet Young and
Peter L rockett. 1 he Sophomores have
not yet elected their delegates.
Besides attending the business meet
ing of the Association, the delegates
also represent Oregon at the banquet
and one of their number responds to a
toast.
The final tryout to choose the orator
who will represent the University in the
Inter-State Oratorical Contest between
the l niversities of Washington, Mon
j tana and Oregon, will be held in Vil
I lard Hall next Friday evening at 7:15.
TO PUY WHOLE WEEK'S
STAND IN CALIFORNIA
Bill’s Barn Stormers Booked for
Week’s Engagement at
Berkeley
The track team will probably go to
Berkeley for the All-Coast meet a week
before it takes place, and train down
there during that time.
As the meet is held on the 22nd of
April, and Oregon’s April vacation be
gins April 15th, the team will leave on
Friday, the 15th, and arrive there Sun
day, making it posible to train there
from Monday until Friday. During the
week the men will pay their own ex
penses, which will not be much greater
than those incident to a week’s train
ing at home.
Hayward favors the plan because he
expects it to get the men accustomed to
the different new conditions which
sometimes play an important part in the
conditioning of the men.
Alsa the men would train to better
advantage where Hayward could have
them under his care at all times than
here during a vacation where there are
so many temptations to break strict
rules.
MERGE LAUREAN SOCIETY
INTO HOUSE CONGRESS
After much planning, discussing and
meting of committees, the final action
which makes of the Laurean Society a
House of Representatives takes place
Saturday night. At a committee meet
ing last night it was decided to leave
this final and most important part of the
scheme, the apportioning of the states,
to Saturday night’s meeting. A large
and enthusiastic assembly of would-be
representatives is expected. President
Jones is anxious that every member be
out if possible, in order that a com
plete apportionment may be made.
A part of the work Saturday night
will be the appointment of a committee
on committees. To each of these sev
eral committees will be referred, for
consideration and presentation, the bills
which come under its classification of
work, just as is done in the National
Congress.
SOPHOMORE CLASS WILL
MEET NEXT TUESDAY
An important meeting of the Sopho
more class will be held in Professor
Dunn’s room at 4:00 o'clock on Tues
day, March 7. At this time a manager
and an editor for next year’s Oregana
will be elected, a financial report will
be made, and delegates will be chosen
to the meeting of the Oratorical Asso
ciation.
