The City's Filtering Plant Almost
flnishal.
In their capacity as servants ot the
people, the board of water commission
ers will, a week hence, present to the
city the new fitting plant in running
order. It is the greatest and best New
Year's gift they were ever the means of
making. The plant has a tilting capa
city of 1,000,000 gallons in 24 hours, and
the wel' tank in which the water is to
be stored has a capacity of 60,000 gal
lons. We can Be assured therefore tha t
the city will alw&ys hae an abundance
of clean water. 97 per cent, pure; it is
claimed by the Jewel Filter Company, of
San Francbco, which has installed the
plant. The work of construction hai
been entirely in the hands of W. H.
Howell, the representative of the com
pany, Mr. Sisinvine, merely assuming
a general supervisory; authority. The
60 tons of white s.ind in bags piled up in
the filter building, are to form lnvers in
each filter tank; four feet thick, through
which the water, having run through
the setting tank is to filter and to sink
by the force of gravity and by the means
of ten valves operated by one man on
the operating platform, the entire plant L
an be operated, tie will perlorm the
work of 10 to 20 men required under the
vaatly more expensive system of sand
beds, which is rapidly going out of use.
In short, for $23,000 0,eson City has a
filtering plant equal to the best in the
world such as recently established by
the Jewel Filter Company at York Eng
land. "

A Good Recommendation
"I have noticed thatthe sale of Cham

most invariably to those who have once
used them," says Mr. J. H. Weber, a
prominent druggist of Cascade, Iowa.
What better recommendation could any
medicine have than for people to call for
it when again in need of such a remedy?
Try them when yon feel dull after eat
ing, when you have a bad taste in your
mouth, feel bilious, have '-no appetite
or when troubled with constipation, and
you are certain to be delighted witii the
prompt relief which they afford. For

The Pioneer's Last Goal.
Upon the verdant Weatern plain he stood
And gazed across the prairie'a broad
expanae.
Then restless, toward the distant fringe
of wood
Beneath the sunset sky swept on hit
glance.
A trackless plain had been the flowery
land,
A desert spreading o'er a fruitful soil,
Until he came and wrought with restless
band
A paradise rewarding well his toil.
But soon be heard the westward march
ing throng,
And caught the city'a stifling breath
from far.
The noisy moving crowds would come
ere long
His aolitude, his wider life to mar.
Again his soul with restless throbbing
yearned
To conquer new-found wilda beneath his
hand.
He craved the acent of furrowa freshly
turned
Upon the virgin soil in newrr land.
Anon unon his dream v vision rose
A land of mountains, streams and giant
trees
Whose very motion seemed calm re
pose, While gently flowed the western ocean's
breeze.
A nature strange, but grander yet and
freer
Lay westward goldened by the setting
sun.
The zephyr wafted oftly to his ear
The plashing of the distant Oregon.
Then shone his eyes with newly kindled
fire;
Again ambition atirred bia heaving
breast,
And louder spoke hia spirit's new desire :
Onward, onward, toward the sea-bound
west.

LOST A THOUSAND DOLLARS
Former Oregon City People J5un
coed at Albany.
A Bhrewd bunco manipulator and a
careleis attorney caused Mra. V. O.
Harding, of Portland, a pioneer resident
of Oregon Citv. to invnsk ti nno ; .
I mortgage on thin air. A. J. Milne, son-
iT i i A. "'u'"Bi " rormer
resident of Oregon City, is prominently
connected with the Albany flouring
mills. Mrs. Milne looka after the in
veatment of her mother's money, and
has heretofore hnnn vaw fwf A
that respect. A. Smith waa the name
the borrower did business under, but he
is gone now. Smith arrived in Albany N
a week before and began negotiations for '
the purchase of a farm, near Lebanon.
A. J. Milne, Mrs. Harding's aon-in-law,
advertised that he had Borne money to
loan at a low mtnnf intarour o,l t;. ui.
. ...v.i,uu, Muu OU1IIU
answered the aduertisement. He waa
ouymg a larm near Lebanon, and
needed $1000 to complete the purchase.
The deed to the farm had just been filed,
and after investigation by an attorney,
the proceedings appeared regular, and
the money was paid over to Smith, who
evidently took his departure on the that
outgoing train. He was particular to
insiBt on the money being paid in cur
rency. It later transpired that the
deed was a forgery.
At Waterloo, Smith had secured the
signature the seal signature of J. C.
Ilunton, a notary puclic, to a ficticious
deed, usim? t.lm mm, no nl a ,,i.. t
residents of Waterloo as witnesses. A
wuanon real estate agent interested in
the property, read a notice of the sale
in a local Daner. Ha linur ln
had been made, and after a little inves
tigation discovered the fraud. Smith
claimed to have arrived from New Jer-
Bey. ne was well dressed, six foot tall,
40 yearB of age, smooth-faced, and has
more the aDnearani'fl of . .r n,.n
a farmer.
