nnciEXK am) rim water i no iu.ru.
Med lord is not the only city that is struggling with the
water problem. Eugene is in Hie same boat, but making
far less progress.
Three years ago Eugene voted s( )(),(.)( bonds for a
water system. The city has just acquired the old city dis
tributing system, paying a goodly sum to escape private
ownership. The council has now authorized the issue of
I lie remaining KiO.OOO bonds to begin work on a gravity
system, which it is feared may cost $." )(),)( HI, ami then not
prove adequate.
Tile Eugene Register comments as follows upon the
water situation :
"Members of the council, headed by the mayor, are
determined to give us a gravity system with Ritchey creek
as the source of supply, regardless of (tost or adaptability
of the source of supply and without giving the taxpayers
the privilege of saying whether or not the Ritchey creek
proposition is sat isfactory to them.
"The idea of a city like Eugene taking its water supply
from a little stream like Ritchey creek in the foothills, that
gathers its waters from the seepage of the hills, is not over
two miles long, and varies in supply with the seasons, from
a little over a million gallons to about five millions of gal
lons, and has been known to be practically dry; a stream
whose watershed cannot be controlled by the city unless
all the hundreds of millions of feet of timber within the
confines of the watershed are bought and paid for by the
city at. a good stiff price in order to prevent contamination
from logging, campers, slock and other methods of filth
production. .Eugene better a thousand I hues drink filtered
water direct from the Willamette than to risk such an un
certain supply at Ritchey creek, or any other of the little
mountain branches tributary thereto."
This has a familiar ring, and sounds like street talk
about; W'asson canyon. But, Medford has the choice of
several sources, and while the people of Eugene are squab
bling over the project as I hey have for three years, Med
ford will have its system actually constructed".

HAS FItANClSCO, (Jul., August 4.
Herman Kidder, editor of the New York
Hunts Zmtuntf, who in in this city on a
tour of the Pacific count, gives his rea
son for pledging his support to William
.1. itryan after having vuinly tried to
disHunde the latter from running in
opposition to Governor Johnson of
Minnesota for the Democratic nominn
I ion, as follows:
"The Republicans have admitted that
the tariff needs reforming, but I have
no confidence in the sincerity of the
irnrtv to reform it. We can hope for
nothing from the group of leaders in
congress headed by Speaker Cannon,
Dal'.el of Pennsylvania nnd Payne of
New York. Jielieving that Pryan will
ho more effective than a Republican
president in meeting this situation, I
will do my best to elect him, although
1 was opposed to his nomination, be
muse of his financial ties. 1 did not
regard him ns th most available candi
date. "Since Bryan has been nominated I
shall support him vigorously ami will
lake the stump for him in September."
"I do not believe that the new Inde
pendence party, of which W. Ft. Hearst
is the inspiration will cut uny important
llgitre in the election. Hearst's prac
tically disappeared as a political factor
when he was defeated for the governor
ship of New York in an election in
which every other important nominee
of the party wihch which ho was then
identified was successful. "

FINE WATER PLANT
FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOL
All the advantages of I lie most up-1 o
date city water system, installed nay
whore at u nominal cost, which operates
automatically, at a mero fractional cost
of operation, is what may be rightfully
claimed for the Burton water plant,
such nfi has just been put in the new
Catholic school by Howes & (.'o. of Port
land. The city pressure vas not great
enough to put water in the third story
of the new building, and it wns this
fact that first caused the Sistern to
look about to secure a private phr.it of
their owa. Tin system they adopted is
pronounced by experts to bo the finest
domestic water system in existence. It
si'cures tho three essentials of a good
water supply plenty of wate., ub.m
tule purity and really adoquate fire
protection. These advantages aro ob
tained at a low first cotit, tlio very min
imum cxpciiHetj of operation, and abso
lutely no cure, as the entire system
works automat icaHy.
The plant has a capacity of f00 gal
lons an hour, It is estimated, however,
that no more than 'MMO gallons a day
will be used at the new school. In ad
ditiou to the usual plumbing, two U -ineh
pipes arc run from the basement to the
top of the building, fitted with fire
hose on every floor and providing the
very best fire protection obtainable.
In an exhibition test yesterday after
noon, at which the architect, engineer
and Mr. K. K, Howes, member of the
I'ort land firm who installed t he sys
tem, the hose on the third floor was
turned on and it threw n powerful two
inch si ream over lfiU feet out of tin
window, continuing for more thnn 1T
minutes without the slightest apparent
diminution in the pressure. At this
t ime t he pressure on the 10i-0gallon
iron tank in the basement was but fit)
pounds, nml its capacity is 100 pounds.
One of the beauties of this system
H its simplicity. A tank, located in
the basement, ns in this case, or under
ground, or anywhere 4d.se, filled with
air, is the primary feature of the plant.
An electric pump forces the water from
the widl into the tank. The pump works
nutomnt ically. When the pressure
reaches tiO pounds it stops. After
enough water has been used to lower
the pressure to :i- the pump starts up
again without anything being done to
it.
1 L. Ton Velle has completed his
nttnge two miles south of Medford and
has in cozy a home att huv orchards
in the laud.
The pressure on the c;ty mains here
is about .'10 pounds. The constant pres
sure under the Burton system is about
Hit pounds. To equal its full capacity,
100 pounds pressure, by an elevated
tank system, it would be necessary to
raise the tank feet in the air, a
practicable impossible.
The air in the tank lasts for months
wit limit being exhausted. It gradually
goes out with the water, but there is a
little attachment by which t lie supply
is speedily replenished.
This air pressure serves the further
purpose ot always keeping the water
very cool. I he whole system is air
tight, nvd thejr in uo place from the
web to the faucet where dirt or eernif J
t'nn get in.
Manv of the Burton svHteins have
ieeu in use for years, and never wear
nit or need repairing.
They are installed in all sizes from
I l."0 gallons to J.l.tKHI gallons. The plant
here can be duplicated at a cost of
about $N0O.
At Regents park at Taeoma, there
are two tanks with ft total capacity of
US ,000 gallons, which havo been in per
fect operation for several years, sup
plying more than 1,100 people with tva
ter.
All who hav- seen the plant hero are
enthusiastic ver its merits, and sev
eral are contemplating installing them.
Everyone should make u point to Bee
the one at tba Catholic school and those
who desire farther information will
have it chenrfuily supplied by writing
to Howes &, Jo., 310 Telford building,
Portland, Or.
