TWIN NECESSITIES.
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.

JURORS HAVE EASY TIME.
Only Two Trials at April Term of
Circuit Court.
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

SANITARY CONDITIONS
By E. F. 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

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.
