JUDGE McBRIDE GRANTS ANOTH. ER HEARING IN THE SUIT OF HOWLAND VS. CAHILL. In the Circuit Court Wednesday, Judge McBrlde granted a motion for a new trial In the $2000 damage suit of Alfred Howland vs. Enos Cahlll. The case was tried last year and a verdict given by the Jury to. Cahlll. who offered what he supposed was a bottle of whiskey to Howland, who drank deeply. The bottle contained formaldehyde, and Howland brought suit. George C. Brownell Is Cahlll's attorney, and C. D. & D. C. Latourette represent Howland. The motion for a new trial was based on errors In law. Cahlll was a former treasurer of Clackamas County. HE WANTS TO KNOW WHY AND WHEREFORE GOVERNMENT ENGINEER INVEST IGATES NEED OF IMPROVE MENT ON WILLAMETTE. With the end In view of finding out the necessity for Improvement by the general government of the falls of the Wlllametto river at Oregon City and also of the channel of the Willam ette from Oregon City to Eugene, Ma jor J. F. Mclndoe, of the local United States engineers' ofllce, has addressed letters to prominent residents of the Willamette valley, asking for detailed reports of the probable value of such Improvements. The following paragraph appearing In the letters from Major Mclndoe makes plain the character of informa tion wanted by the department as a preliminary to providing for the Im provement: "As Hie worthiness of this Improve ment will be based upon the present needs It Is desired to have statements from persons who have shown an In terest in this Improvement and whose local knowledge renders their opinion of value, and I Invite you to furnish me with such of the following informa tion as you can, together with your opinion as to the nature of the Im provement required: First, present commerce. Its character, amount and value; second, future commerce due In part to an Improved waterway; third, present navigation, kind of boats used, draft, etc.; fourth, wharves and wharf areas, suggestions a-i to what Is needed in the way of wharves under municipal and other public con. trol to supplement the water route to be Improved to give Its maximum ef ficiency. Il Is realized that the prin clple decline of water transportation is due to lack of proper facilities for the transfer of freight from water to land and vice versa; fifth. Informa tion concerning the utilization of wa- terpower which could be developed In improved waterways. In bis letter Major Mclndoe says that the securing of this Information and the submitting of the proper rec ommendations as to the improvement of the Willamette has been assigned to bis office.

Tho reader of a newspaper will readily agree that it Is -j necessary for a merchant, with any pretension to progres- slveness, to advertise. Yet this would not be true If It S were not equally true that It Is necessary for the reader of newspaper. If ho or she have any pretensions to progressivo- i ness, to read nnd answer the $ ads. These are twin-facts, twin necessities. Whatever is of S enough Importance for tho merchant to pay for tho prlvl- $ lego of saying Is of too much i? j importance for the reader to S overlook. And Just as adver- tlslng Is the way of the pro- S gresslvo store, so Is the read Ing of advertising tho way of $ the progressive person. Meas ure your progresslveuess by ? this standnrd, and you will not $ go fur wrong. Only two Jury trials took place at the April term of the Circuit Court, one of them being the damage suit of Mrs. Erikke Trulllnger vs. Frank : ; Jaggar and the other the suit of Col- X 11ns vs. Doitz. The defendants woa In both cases. Judge McBrlde ills. charged the Jurors Monday, until June 1, and adjourned court until Thursday morning. Judge Harris will not hold court for Judge McBrlde this week, as was expected. It is not Improbable that Judge McBrlde will qualify as supreme Judge within a few days. Suit for divorce has been Instituted by Mary J. Stephenson against W. S. Stephenson, to whom she was mar ried February 18, 1894. in Ambor, Wash. They have three children, Dor cas, Olive and Norma.

Pefnost Tho condition In which I And water received from various parts of the state warrants my calling the atten- lon of tho public to tho unsanitary indltlons which exist surrounding their water supply. Some samples of ator taken In sterile bottles under septic precautions, contain as high as 63,580 germs per cilhlo centimeter a tcaspoontul holds about five cubic ntlineters of wator and an ordinary drinking glass about 225 cubic centi meters). A glassful of such water oulil thnrcfore contain 14,305.500 liv ing germs. While It Is truo that many varieties of these germs are not dl- ctly disease producing, the continu ed Introduction of such large quant I- lea of them Into tho system lowers Itnjlly and increases susceptibility to tho disease producing types when they gain access to tho body. Wator containing so many organisms carries also, a solution, the ptomaines from tho purification of the organic matter which they grew. Those large num ber of organisms gonorally find their way Into open wells by surface drain age 'and where they can pass, bo may tho disease producing types pass also. The water from driven wells are comparatively free from organisms. An open well is an abomination and Is not In keeping with our present un derstanding of tho laws of sanitation. A Good Well. The question arises, how can we better our condition? Where a well Is the ouly means uf obtaining water, let It be dug to the wator bearing stratum, wall it up with brick laid in cement, for ten feet, arch It over, with tho pump plpo and arch well ce mented In, fill tho remainder if the hole, which may bo fifteen to twenty feot. with clay well tamped down, and the result will be a bottomless brick Jug, deep under ground. Into which no surface water, worms nor animals can penetrate. The water from such a well Is as pure ns can be obtained from the locality In which It la situ ated. Polluting the Water. There are many families living In the country who should enjoy the best of health, but who are always ailing. The cause of health may, as a rule, be traced to tholr use of polluted wa ter produced by the unsanitary condi tion of their surroundings. But few homes have proper drainage from sinks and baths; dish water is thrown out of the back door on the ground near the well, garbage Is similarly disposed of. to decompose and drain Into the well. Wash water containing filth that would not be tolerated on the clothing Is also emptied on the ground to drain Into the well. Most of the bpen wells situated near the house or barn are but cesspools. II Is the lowest point In Its vicinity into which liquids drain. Frequently a privy is located with in a stone's throw of an open well. When the water table rises to the surface of the ground, as It always does during the winter In Western Oregon, alt surface water Is contam inated, and, as the water level low ers, the open wells become reservoirs for the drainage. The ordinary stone or brick wall of an open well only Berves the pur pose of preventing the caving In of the earth, and In no sense acts as a filter. We have received samples of water from open wells, situated near barn yards or dwellings, which were load ed with organisms that are instru mental In decomposing manure. The samples gave strong reactions of ammonia by chemical analysis and even tinted with the color of liquid manure. One particular sample was thus polluted from a flower bed near (Continued on Page 4.) Showers of rocks and rice greeted Harry M. Ross and his bride, formerly Elizabeth Gleck, after the wedding ceremony In the Tabernacle at Van couver, Tuesday night. The rocks came from without, one of the missies striking A. J. Templeton, one of the musicians, on the head. Several win dows were badly shattered by the rocks. Sheriff Sappington was In the audi ence. Rushing out into the darkness, the officer captured a man who proved to be an innocent onlooker and was released. Offers of $100 reward for capture and conviction of the hopd. lunis who threw the rocks were of fered by W. H. Hamilton and C. C. Grldley. Evangelist Dan Shannon performed the ceremony which made Harry M. Ross and Elizabeth Gleck man and wife. The bride was formerly a res ident of New York. Mr. Ross Is choir leader for Mr. Shannon and will ac company the evangelist to Hood River, where he will next hold services. Admittance was charged to see the wedding ceremony, and it is estimated that Mr. Ross is the gainer thereby to the amount of $450. After the ceremony a wedding sup per was served at the home of Rev. H. S. Templeton, pastor of the Pres byterian Church. Mr. and Mrs. John W. Loder, Miss Edna Kinney, Miss Edith Smith, Miss Pearl Selhy, Millard Gillett and Ed Gottberg, of this city were present at the affair. ONE YEAR FOR INDIAN. Albert Ferris Is Sent to Penitentiary, But Wife Escapes. Albert Ferris, aa Indian, was ar rested some time ago for entering the house of Susan, an Indian woman living at Greenpoint and stole $100 In cash that she had hidden away. He was accompanied by his wife, and she too, was arrested ' as an accomplice. After stealing the money the two left for California, and It was thought by the officers that as soon as the money was spent they would return to their home at the Grande Ronde Indian Res ervation. Officer Miles went to Sher idan and made arrangements with the postmaster that as soon as the Indian and his wife returned to advise him, which he did, and Mr. Miles went after them .and brought them here, where they were placed In the county Jail to await their trial. The man was last week sentenced to one year In the penitentiary, and the woman was given her freedom. Ferris was taken to the penitentiary Thursday night. Glowing tributes of esteem and re gard were voiced by a dozen attorneys Wednesday night at the reception and smoker given by the Commercial Club tn honor of Judge Thomas A. McBrlde, who has been appointed to the Su preme Bench to succeed Justice Bean, and of Hon. James U. Campbell, who will fill the vacancy on the Circuit Bench. Never In Oregon City has there been such a representative body of profs slonal and business men as gathered at the club rooms In the Masonic TemDle to do honor to the two men who have been advanced, along Judi cial paths. The affair was purely Informal In character and busy men cast dull care away for an evening and smoked and chatted during the Intervals between the speeches. The air was charged with good stories and pleasant remi niscences. Two hundred men were there to Bay farewell to "Tom" McBrlde and to wish him well. During the early part of the evening, while the men circled around the big punch bowl, the be loved Jurist was surrounded by scores of people and warmly congratulated upon his promotion, but while men rejoiced at Judge McBrlde's good for tune, they were free to express their regrets at his departure fro ma posi tion that he had filled with so much . satisfaction to himself and profit to the people for the past 17 year. It was past nine o'clock when State Senator Hedges tapped for quiet, and after making some brief introductory remarks, called Hon. Algernon 8. Dresser, of Portland, Register of tho United States Land Office, for the opening talk. Mr. Dresser was former ly a law partner of Judge McBrlde. He was followed by attorneys George W. Stapelton and John Dltchburn, Judge Robert Morrow and Attorney George W. Hazen, of Portland, Dr. W. E. Carll, mayor of Oregon City, an attorneys Robert A. Miller, of Port land, and George C. Brownell, Charles. D. Latourette, Franklin T. Griffith, Harvey E. Cross, Judge Grant B. Dlm lck, Judge Gorden E. Hayes, and Col. Charles H. Dye. These men, every one a lawyeir, save one, paid beautiful tributes to Judge McBrlde. The speeches occupied nearly three hours, but not a single bored expression was discemable. Every talk was Inter esting. It seldom falls to the lot of any man to receive such a tribute as was given to Judge McBrlde Wednes day night by the men who have known him long, some of them for more than 20 years. The climax of the evening came when Judge Dlmlck presented Judge Campbell with a handsome suit case, the gift of the Clackamas County at torneys. This was followed by the presentation to Judge McBrlde of an elegent set of solid flat sliver of the Paul Revere pattern, every piece mark ed "McB." This came from the mem bers of the bar of Washington County and the presentation speech was made by Deputy District Attorney Llvy Stipp. There was an intense stillness In the big room when Hon. Gilbert L. Hedges, with a prelude of touching words, gave over to Judge McBrlde the gift of the Clackamas County Bar Association, a fine Winchester rifle and a complete outfit of fishing tackle. The Judge is an ardent sportsman and the gift pleased him. He was visibly affected as he rose to respond. Ev ery man there got on his feet and cheered. Judge McBrlde talked of his early experiences in the practice of law and said he was proud of his profession. He told a few stories In his quiet, smiling way, that brougbj, applause. On the 18th day of this month the venerable Jurist had passed the 40th year since his admission to the bar. He warmly commended his successor, Judge Campbell, for his sterling manhood and for his honesty and uprightness of character. Judge Campbell talked briefly and was given a warm reception. Ther was not a lawyer there but who echo ed the sentiment of Mr. Cross, that he would be as loyal to the new judgo- as ne bad Den to the passing official. u was alter midnight when the eni came. To say that the affair was ai unqualified success would be putting- it muaiy. There has never been an event that held such sentiment as ex isted Wednesday night In the Com mercial Club rooms. Animosity, fac tional feeling, business strife all wa lost In the warmth of the reception. SMALL CROWD AT SHOW. Between the Acta" Pleases Audience at Shively's.
