ARTESIAN WELLS In a recent in
ARE SUGGESTED terview Dr. J. W.
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

In this way not only do they
but they lose the association with parents and the necessary apprecia
tion of family relations and interests. To thin is, in my judgment,
partly to be attributed the children's rampant DISRESPECT FOR

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.

MINIMUM WAGE
BILL PASSES SENATE
' SALEM, Or., Feb. 7. (Special.)
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. Cooke, one of the best
players, has offered a $3 pearl han
dle knife as first prize. It 'is prob
able that other prizes will, be offer
ed, by public-spirited merchants.
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.

cient game has become a bloodless
