The past ewek was cooler than the previous one in the western sejtiou, while in the eastern section the nights were cool, with moderately warm days. A few small showers occurred iu'tho Northwest Suuday aud Monday, but they were insufficient to wet the ground to any great depth, aud rain is still needed everywhere for late crops and lor pustules.

INSPECTED BY OFFICIALS Filter Plant Sufficient to Sup ply Southern City With -Water Would Cost $400,000. Sacramento Union publishes the fol lowing article from its special cor respondent concerning the visit of the Californiniis to Oregon City: The ordinary matters of the excur sion were forgottou for a time today, when a small party, composod of Sac ramento officials and citizens, paid a visit to Oregon City to inspect the municipal filtering plant, a matter long the subject of debate and consid eration in Sacramento's administra tion councils. Wnen the Chamber of Commerce excursion was first arranged Mayor Hassett and Trustees John O. Ing and Jumes Toport determined to inspect the Oregon City plant, with the expectation that they might some day bo required to pass upon the value and utility of such a concern with reference to their own city. The Oregon City filter is simple enough, aud in the few hours spent among the people it was learnod that it was regarded by the people of tho thriving manufacturing town as a dis tinct benefit and improvement. The inspection committee, if it may be so termed, has expressed an opinion that such a device, applied to Sacramento's drinking water, would be a great ad vantage, and the conclusion seemed to be shared by others of the party who had no official interest in the ob joo of the trip. A start wus made early this morn ing from the Hotel Portland, the point of asemblage. In addition to Mayor Hassett and Trustees Ing and Popert, the party included H. C. Wolf, chief engineer of the Sacramento water sys tem ; Benjamin Leonard, Mr. "and Mrs. John T. Stafford, Miss May Coffield, Mr. and Mrs. A. Meister, Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Heiser, Henry Dehn and Miss Nellie Dunlap. Oregon City is sixteen miles from Portland on the Willamette river, and the trip made in an electric car over a good road, consumed less than an hour. The scenery along the way was delightful. The country is well pop ulated the entire distance. Mayor E. A. Somnier, of Oregon City, received the party, and aided by W. H. Howell, superintendent of the water works, escorted the visitors through the pumping and filtering plant. The pumps, which are much smaller than those in Sacramento, are operated by electrio power generated by the fal's, a short distance away. There are two pumps, which have an aggregate maximum capacity of one million gallons por day. This amount of water, it is claimed, cau be filtered each uay with the plant that occupies a plain small building across the street from the water works almost at the base of a; mountainous cliff. As a matter of tact, the normal consumption by the 5000 inhabitants is much loss. The filtration plant consists of two sets ot tanks, one of which is known as the settling house. This is located hack of the other, and the tanks meas ure 22 feet in diamoter and are 16 feet deep, with a capacity of 40,000 gal lons. The filtering tanks are but 16 feet in diameter and almost as deep. Thej are built in pairs so that one may continue to operate while the other is being cleaned. The water, before being run into the settling tanks, is treated with alum. This is used as a coagulant to bring together in a gelatinous coat ing on the surface all the sediments and impurities which collect through the day, while th purified water is forced into the mains for distribution throughout the city. The settling tanks, into which the water is first permitted to enter, do CAUSE ONE-THIRD OF THE TOTAL DEATHS.

Ml the greater part of the work and are intended to relieve the filter by hold ing the heavier sand and the larger particles of foreign matter. , Each of the smaller tanks is fitted with iron agitators and filled with sand for a distance of four feet from the bottom. The sand is in a second tank, constructed inside the outer one, but the purposo was of minor importance. As it wb' the simplicity ot the es tablishment that particularly im pressed some of the visitors, this do escriptive explanation is necessary. General information is best expressed iu the statements of Mayor Summer and Superintendent Howell. Tho latter has held his office for tho last 22 years aud was able to answer every question propounded to him, aud it might be added that the quer ies were numerous. He said : "The water is taken from a point a few hundred yards above the city. The amount of sediment and impuri ties varies according to the season, and conditions are somewhat simUiar to those dascribed in the case of Sac ramento. In the sutnumer it is pretty clear ,but during the winter we have considerable mud and sediment, due to erosion of the banks. At this sea son it is necessary to clean the tanks but once a day, while in winter the wors of cleaning takes place four times daily. "This plant, with its capacity of 1,000,000 gallons, was installed four years ago last Jannary, and cost $40, 000. Its effect has been gratifying iu every respect. "Our pumps aro now operated from eight months to a year without pack ing. Before this plant was built they had to bo packed once a month. Our water mains are clear and dean, whereas f rmerly they were half choked with mud aud imp;ritios. "A bucket of alum is used each day for the entire supply of water, autl we have been able to operate the en tire plant without any additional help. ' 'You would be surprised t;0 see the amount and character of the impure matter caught iu the filter every week or month or year. There is from eighteen inches to two feet ot mud removed in 12 mouths' time and no one can say how many germs of dis ease. ' ' "Sacramento should have a filtoring plant like this," said Mayor Sommer iu conversation with th four Sacra mento officials. Mayor Sommer is a practicing physician and he says that his arguments for the innovation he wanted Sacramento to make are partly based on scientific knowledge. "You have evory reason we had and more, since your water is muddier than ours. Towns and settlements on the riter above tho source of your water supply discharge their sewage into the stream, and this is one of the most dangerous practices imaginable from a medical and sanitary ttandpoint At any time a single case of typhoid along the river might be sufficient to start an epidemic iu your city. "Salem, thirtyfive milos away, aud other towns, discharge their sewage into the Willamette, and this fact ha I considerable to do with the de termination to install this plant. Salem has a larger percentage of ty phoid illness than auy city on the coast. Jlore, during the past four years, there has been practically none, aud we attribute it to the improve ment in our water. "An official analysis by tho chem istry department of the state univer sity shows Oregon City water to be 99(5-10 per cent pure. When the filter, for any reason', is shut down for a few hours there is a puhlio clamor which does not subside until operations are resumed." i During tho discussion that ensued, Chief Engineer Wolf and Mayor Has sett recalled an estimate made some time ago to tho effect that it would require $400,000 to install a filtering plant ud two pumps at Saoramento together with the lot and buildings necessary. "1 think we rshould have one ot these plants," said Mayor Hassett. "Excepting only the appearance, our water is the finest to be obtained any where. Eradicate this objection aud we would be benefitted to an incal culable extent." u Trustee Ing believed that Sacra mento needed a plant of this kind, aud Trustee Popert expressed similar seutimeuts.
