FARMER HAS LIVELY
MAIN STREET RACE
Frank Catho, farmer living a few
mile east of this city, was arrested
Tuesday afternoon on a charge of
disturbing the pence. Catho, who was
In a partially intoxicated condition,
got Into bis buggy on Main Street
near Seventh and whipped bis horse
until it started down the street at a
lively gallop. At Tenth Street he
turned around and started up
the street, but was stopped by Chief
of Police Shaw- and plared under ar
rest. After much pleading and a
promise not to commit the offense
gain he wa released.
no gravel when the outlets have sep
arate ratings In order to have tbe
work evenly distributed. It was also
found that when the river was car-
rying considerable silt and the filter
oecame stopped up more readily than
at other times it was customary to
rake thj top of tbe beds before wash
ing. An explanation was given the
superintendent why this was not con
ducive to efficient operation and the
pructlce has since been discontinued.
"Regarding the supervision that is
maintained the plant is materially
deficient. The operation of any wat
er plant should be Btrictly under lab
oratory control, and the results of
these findings should be the guide by
w hich all work Is carried on. For in
stance the amount of coagulant us
ed should be increased according to
the number of bacteria and the tur
bidity of the raw water as well as
the bacterial efficiency of the filter
affluent. The present procedure Is
to feed the coagulent by guess and as
long as the water coming from the
filters Is clear the operator has done
all he can do, but at the same time
the bacterial life which la the only
problem to be feared may not have
been satisfactorily cared for. '
Tbe report shows an absence oi
colon bacilli in all samples analyzed
by Mr. BrewBter. Tho report con
cludes: "The company have ordered a plant
for tbe application of bypoclorite of
lime to be used as an adjustment to
the filtration when necessary. While
it cannot be said from this investi
gation that the installation of thla
plant is an uctual necessity, yet it
is a very valuable adjunct and when
Installed will make the entire system
as complete and valuable as can be
obtained and If the operation Is put
under the laboratory supervision the
people of Oregon City may be assur
ed of a water supply that is eminent
ly satisfactory In every way."

Spring was certainly a welcome
visitor to Oregon City Saturday and
ail day lotfg the city by the Falls was
basked in the warm February sun
shine that might have done honor to
the sunny South, and far eclipsed
anything on a February day tint
California ever boasted of. The
streets were swarmed with persons.
Although there were no men's straw
hats In evidence, the women were
certainly on tbe Job with the latest
in Spring styles. A'acant streets and
lot proved to be magnets for the
children and the baseball made its
first bow to 1913. with the abear
ance of young Frank Chances Mid
Ty Cobbs. The roads were hardly
dry enough for the speed demon to
see whether he could put his speed
up to f0 or not, but nevertheless Hie
new pavement on Slain Si.jet drew

IT'S A MISTAKE.
Made by Many Oregon City Resident
Many people in a misguided effort
to get rid of kidney bachache, rely on
plasters, liniments and other make
shifts. The right treatment is kid
ney treatment and a remarkably rec
ommended Kidney medicine is Dean's
Kidney Pills. Oregon City is no ex
ception. The proof is at your very door. The
following is an experience typical of
the work of Doan's Kidney Pills in
Oregon City.
James Wilkinson. 201 Fourteenth
St., Oregon City, Ore., says: "I had
backache and pains in my loins, and
could not sleep well. There was stiff
ness In my limbs and other symptoms
of kidney trouble were present. Be
ing advised to try Doan's Kidney
Pills, I did and was gratified by their
promptness In relieving me. Although
I am In my seventieth year, I am
halo and hearty and I give Doan's
Kidney Pills the credtt."

LONG AGO FOR PAPER
If all men were as honest as the
writer of the undersigned letter,
which was received Wedhesday morn
ing by William Andresen, the police
would soon find themselves hunting
for jobs, and the Jails would be torn
down. W. H. Davles, the writer, was
the bead of a small private school
that waa operated In this city about
12 yearn ago and while be was con
ducting the school he also started a
paper called the "Academy", which
was devoted to the interests of the
school. Through adverse circum
stances the publication was discon
tinued before all tbe subscriptions
had expired. No thought was given
to the matter and Mr. Davies left
Oregon City and the school and the
"Academy ' were both forgotten, ex
cept by a few personal friends and
former students of his school. The
following Is a copy of a letter that
was received by Mir. Andresen:
"Burmelster & Andresen, Dear sirs:
A number of year sago I published
a small paper "Academy" In Oregon
City. It was discontinued and I find,
as near as I- can tell, a balance of
18 cents due you on your subscrip
tion, for which you never received
the paper. Please return the Inclos
ed card, give your address, and I will
send you enough money to cover this
amount, or a little more.
"Supposing that you have forgotten
this, and hoping that payment now
of this small Hem, though long de
layed, will be satisfactory,
I remain yours truly,
W. H. DAVIES.
