Norris, County Health Officer, stated that fully eight out of every ten wells in Clackamas County were bad and the water inside of them was not fit for drinking pur poses. In' a great many cases the Doctor stated the wells were bad simply through carlessne-s and through utter disregard of sanitary laws. He stated that with proper con struction of the wells and means of disposing of the sewage many of the wells would at the present time con- tain good water. In this regard he urges two types of well construction that should be followed throughout the county. Of the two types that might be fol lowed, the first one follows more closely the type of well that is now in use. The well dug in the same manner as an ordinary well, and af ter it is constructed the walls are lined with water-proof cement of some other material that is entirely impervious to water. This lining j should be started six inches or a foot i above the ground and carried to the bottom of the well. By doing this there will be no danger of surface water seeping into the well through its walla- and by carrying the wall above the ground and banking it up no water will run into the well through its top. The second type that may be fol lowed is that of constructing an or dinary well' at the bottom and the . walls should be walled up for a dis tance of several feet at which place a vaulted top should be placed over it with a hole only large enough to allow a pipe to pass out of it. After this is done the space above the vaulted chamber should be filled with soil as nearly impervious to water as obtainable with only the pipe running through it by which the water may be carried to the pump at the surface. In this way both types of wells are free from ordinary surface water. The only water that can get into either Study After School Harmful By Professor WILLIAM WIENER. Educator, of Newark, N. J. CHE municipality, the state and the United States have estab lished eight hours as the legal working day for manual work era. I do not think it right or even humane that we should work young boys and girls five hours at school and then set tasks that take many, MANY HOURS AT'' HOME. If the com mon eight hour law applies to the adult man for manual labor I can not comprehend why it should not be enforced in favor of the grow ing school child. -' ' UNDER PRESENT CONDITIONS OF LESSON ASSIGNMENT THE CONSCIENTIOUS CHILDREN COME FROM. PLAY TO THE EVENING MEAL. HURRIEDLY 8WALLOW THAT. AND THEN WORK AT UNTIL BEDTIME. In this way not only do they but they lose the association with parents and the necessary apprecia tion of family relations and interests.

Here is a chance to make your rent pay you out of debt. Price is very reasonable. See DILLMAN & HOWLAND i one of the above types of wells is through the bottom. Any surface water that may get into them must seep through the thickness of the wall and enter through the ground. Dr. Norris says that the wells should be located on as high ground as pos ible and as far away from - toilets, barns and ground where refuse is thrown as is possible.

By unanimous vote the Senate today passed President Malarkey's minimum wage bill and it was passed, accom panied by declarations from many of the members that it is probably one of the most meritorious steps toward cc astructive legislation that has ever been attempted. Senator Joseph spoke as represen tative of one of the greatest depart ment stores in the state. He stated that competition has justified the low wages which have been paid; that this condition will be cured by the bill, because, he asserted the . bill guarantees to the great department stores that all will pay the' same wage and . competition - as to wages will be destroyed. "If the wages are fixed at $10 It will suit us just as well as though they were fixed at $5," he said. "As long as the same wage is paid in all competing stores it is the trade that must pay and not the store. "In the store which I represent I can find at least 100 employes who do not parn 50 per cent of the wages which are paid them." r PLANNED BY CLUB A checker "tournament is being ar ranged by M. D. Latourette, secretary of the Commercial Club. Several of the members are good players and Mr. Latourett'i thinks a tournament would be of decided advantage to the club. J. J.

The games probably wili start week after next. . Among the best players are Dr. Anderson, M. A. Magone, C. C. Babcock, F. C. Burk, Thomas E. Fair clough, John B. Fairclough and M. D. Latourette.
