A young English Lord is exiled
and comes to America, marries an
Indian girl who saves his life and
becomes first " a foreman on a big
ranch and afterward owns a ranch
of his own. Years after, by the death
of his cousin, be becomes cleared of
tne crime ie took upon himself to
proect others' and is recalled home.
But he refuses to desert his Indian
wife and finally when he consents to
let his little boy be sent to be educat

the parting breaks her untutored
heart and she shoots herself. This
is the mere oultine of a most remark
able and thrilling Western play in
which the Baker players with greatly
augmented cast will appear for the
first time in stock in this city this
week.' Its scenes are exciting, fas-'
cinating and at the same time amus
ing for these half-wild cowboys can
not help thefr little fun with each
other and with the Sheriff,, who is
not very popular among them. Robert
Conness, who recently gave such an
excellent performance of "The Virgin

Man and Alice Fleming as the Indian
girl. The Baker matinees will; be giv

HOfEL ELECTRIC ANNEX
EXPERT URGES FREQUENT
ANALYSIS OF WATER
J. H. Brewster, a Portland sani
tary engineer, ha made the follow
ing report regarding Oregon City
water and the water plant:
Herewith is presented a report up
on the operation of your purification
plant. The purpose of the investiga
tion being to "ascertain whether or
not it was satisfactorily designed and
installed, of sufficient capacity to
meet the present demands, if proper
ly operated, capable of producing a
safe and suitable water supply for
drinking and domestic purposes, and
also to gain a knowledge as to the
method of supervision under which
the plant is being operated. A com
plete Inspection of the plant was
therefore made. Samples "were col
lected from different parts of the
system and the results with recom
mendations for future operation ap
pended. The pumping station and filtration
plant of the Orgon City water works
Is located on the Willamette river
within a few hundred feet of the
falls and from which the water power
is utilized- for all the nower necessary
to operate the complete systemj thus
obviating the necessity of steam
boilers or other mechanical devices.
The building, partially of wood and
partially of concrete, is of sufficient
size and so constructed as to have
the pumping station, ' sedimentation
basins, filters and warehouse all un
der' one roof.
The supply is taken from the Wil
lamette River at a distance approxi
mately one thousand feet from the
plant. The intake is located on the
bank of the river about three hundred
feet above that portion of the falls
where the Hawley Pulp & Paper
Mill have installed their power wheels
The mouth which is twenty-two
inches in diameter is covered with a
removable one-fourth inch mesh cop
per screen. It is enclosed in a con
crete box that is of sufficient size
to reach the surface at nfean water
level and having its only- opening on
the down stream side. This is cover
ed with an iron grating in order ' to
keep fish, sticks, leaves, etc., from
entering the intake. The pipe line
carrying the water from the intake
to the plant is of cast iron and
twenty-two inches in diameter until
it reaches the concrete wall where
the mill wheels of the Hawley plant
are located. From here it - is re
duced to eighteen inches and contin
ues this size until it reaches the
plant where it is again reduced to
ten inches as it enters the, pump,
which forces the water to the settl
ing basins. The jtlischarge . line
from this pump is eight inches but is
at once increased- to twelve," thus
making it possible to install a larger
pump if necessary without altering
the rest of the system. As the water
enters this " pump which is of the
Mprris Centrifugal type, having a
daily, capacity of two million gallons,
the coagulent is added through a
three-fourths inch brass line.
The solution tanks for mixing the
coagulent consist of two wooden cy
lindrical tubs of five hundred gallons
capacity each and are used alter
nately, the one filling while the other
is feeding. Each tank has a dissolv
ing box into which the sulphate of al
umina is placed and put into solution
by allowing the water to run over it
and seap through the porous bottom
into the tank. The feeding of the
coagulent is regulated by setting the
outlet valves so as to take a certain
length of time to empty the tank.
The amount of coagulent may be in
creased or decreased according to
the turbidity of the water by either
changing the strength of the solution
or the rate of feeding it. , ;
The water having had the coagu

basins from the twelve inch line "
coming from the raw water pump by
means of a six inch branch whicli
terminates in an upturned elbow
that is set at an angle of forty-five
degrees from the perpendicular, and
o.l a. ueigut oi uiree ieei irom tne
bottom thus preventing the incoming
water from distrubing the settlings
which have previously been removed.
Here the heavy suspended matter :
has an opportunity to settle, carry
ing with it a majority of the bacteria.
These basins consist of three cylind
rical wooden tanks fifteen feet high
and twenty-two feet in diameter with
a capacity of forty-two thousand gal
lons each or a total capacity of one
hundred twenty-six thousand gallons.
As these basins are operated as units "
and not in series each has its own in
let and outlet. The outlets, taking
the water from the top of the tanks
are six inch pipe but discharge in
to one ten inch line which supply
filters number one, two and three.
Number four filter, having recently
been installed, is supplied direct from
number one settling tank through a
six inch line. All of the inlets and
outlets are equipped with valves so
that any one of the tanks can be
taken out of "commission for cleaning
without disturbing the operation of
the others. They are "also connected
with the sewer so that the settling
can De removea witnout aimcuny.
The inlets are also equipped with
butter-fly valves to prevent the tnks.
from over flowing. Since the install
ation of filter number four it is evi
dent that there is a greater draft on.
number one settling basin than on
to lessen the bacterial efficiency of
this tank. This idea is substantiated
by the bacteriological results embod
ied in this report, as sample number
three which was taken from the wa
ter going to number four filter and
coming" entirely from number one
settling basin, has a bacterial count '
of more than double "that found in
sample number two which was taken
from the water going to number two
filter and is a mixture of the water
coming from all three of the settling
! tanks.
Arrangements had previously been
made to connect all of these
tanks at the top by means -of a six
inch pipe and in fact the connection
between number two and three tanks -has
already been installed. It was
I advised to connect number one and
two immediately as this will form a
hydraulic level thus allowing the butter-fly
valves to work uniformly and
in this way preventing a greater
amount of water entering number one
settling basin than enters the others.
With this arrangement - the xtra
water needed to supply number four,
filter will come from all three settl
ing basins instead of coming entirely
from the one. .
The filters are circular wooden tub
filters of the New York Continental
Jewel type and are set up in four
units of five hundred thousand gal
lons daily capacity each, giving the.
complete plant a capacity of two mil
lion gallons. The filters are sixteen
feet in diameter with a sand area of
one - hundred seventy-seven square
feet. Filters number one, two and
three contain four feet of Red Wing
Sand with no gravel between it and
the strainer system. Number four
filter contains three feet four inches
of Red Wing Sand under which is
eight inches of gravel. The fact
that there is no gravel in three of
the filters is of no moment as long
as the strainers do not become
stopped, thus reducing the capacity
of the plant, but however, if the
strainers do become filled with sand
they should be cleaned and a pro- .
