The eyes of the nation are turned
toward Gettysburg, where sleep the
thousands who fell in that great bat
tle that decided the fortunes of the
war for the preservation of the Union,
and whither othe thousands of sur
viving comrades are marching, men
from the north and from the south,
under one flag, without gun, or sabre,
or battle-searred banner, to celebrate
together that decisive event an. join
hands as Americans while they sing:"'
"My country 'tis of thee, s
Swet land of Liberty."
Sunday the 6th, being the nearest
Sunday to the day on which the bat
tle was ended, is to be Patriotic Dav

TRAIL OF
EIGHTEEN CANINES IN COUNTY
BITTEN IN ONE FRENZIED
ANIMAL'S MAD RUSH
OFFICIALS SEEK DAP IN PATHWAY
Dr. W. S. Eddy TrYing to Find Route
of Hydrophobic Beast Over
Hills From Meldrum to
Sunnyside Region
The trail of one dog afflicated with
rabies has been traced "by County
Veterinarian W. S. Eddy from Jen
nings Lodge to Meldrum by 15 other
canines, five of which are dead, and
ten of which are expected ' to either
die of the disease or, which will be
shot within the next week. The trail
is then lost for a time, but has been
picked up again at Sunnyside and
traced through Harmony and the sur
rounding country by mora animals
which have been stricken by hydro
phobia. Dr. Eddy is now seeking the
path taken by the frenzied beast be
tween Meldrum and Sunnyside for on
the route taken by the animal over
th.e intervening hills depends the
safety of a number of communities.
The dog responsible for this devast
ating spread of the most dreaded tf
diseases was killed a little over a
week ago on Gafney's farm at Har
mony. He was apparently a cross be
tween a hound and a pointer , was
colored brown, yellow and white, and
weighed 80 or 85 pounds. Any per
son having seen such a dog within
the last two weeks is requested by
the county authorities, to nolify Dr.
Eddy at once, so that the path of the
animal between Msldrum and the
main Clackamas valley may be traced
and dogs in this section put under ob
servation or quarantine.
The dog first appeared, as far as
the county officers can determine, at
Jennings Lodge on June 12. From
there it made its frenzied way along
the interurban line through Rotthe to
Meldrum, biting and fighting other
do?s that attempted to interfere with
its passage. By diligent inquirv and
almost ceaseless effort. Dr. Ebby has
traced the course of the animal, and
has discovered practically all that it
bit and to which it conveyed the dis
ease. Five of these dogs have either
been killed or have died of hydro
phobia,' and the ten others are now
securely chained up. and are under
observation. All of them show symp
toms of the disease, and will lie killed
as soon as their cases are sufficiently
far advanced to make it sure that
there is no mistake.
The dogs in the list including Jen
nings Lodge, Rotthe and Meldrum
belone to the followine: John Rotthe,
Mr. Wetzler, Judge Bronaugh, Mir.
Daggett, Mrs. Jacobs, W. W. Thomp
son, A. H. McGowan, H. J. Robinson,
John Jennings. Henry Paynton. F. B.
Madison, G. M. Caldwell, Mr. Seeley,
Mr. Meldrum and Mr. Parker. Those
belonging to the first five are already
dead.
East of the hills the same .dog is
held responsible for- the biting of
three other dogs, all of which have
been killed, and possibly some stock
that is now under observation. Ow
ing to the virulence of the disease,
and the manner in which it may be
spread by any dog that has been in
fected with it, the county officials are
particularly desirous of ' tracing the
first dog's route through the gap be
tween Meldrum and Sunnyside, so
that precautions may be taken in this
district.

That Clackamas county's timber
cruise is being faithfully performed,
but that the estimates of the forest
wealth are a trifle low, is the opinion
of Gus Lovegren, a United States gov
eminent cruiser, wno called upon
County Assessor Jacfc Thursday after
noon. Mr. Lovegren was shown the
figures obtained by Mir. Nease, and
said that they showed a most thor
ough pfece of work. -
While working for the government
Mr. Lovegren went over much of the
territory covered by the county cruise
and declared that he knew the areas
well. He was surprised, however, to
find the county figures so low, and
declared that they could easily b i
made considerably higher and still be
accurate. County officials prefer to
have any doubt as to the estimate in
the county's favor.
- Mr. Lovegren ajso said that the
Clackamas cruise compared most fa
vorably with other cruises in the
state. He spoke particularly well of
smiliar work that Mr. Nease had done
elsewhere, and congratulated the
county upon having obtained the serv
ices of so reliable a cruiser.

WATER IN WELL
OUT OF RIVER?
POSSIBILITY NOT THOUGHT TO
BE LIKELY BY CHAIRMAN
; OF COMMITTEE
MAN TOOZE HAS STATEMENT
Rigid Test for Purity Will -Determine
Whether Supply on Engie
brect Tract is Fit for ....
City Purposes
Since the last statement by the
chairman of the council's special wa
ter committee was made public, there
has been general comment upon the
fact tl-at the water in the test well
on the Englebrect property rose natu
rally to within 12 feet of the surface;
particularly so as the level of the
land at this point is said to be approx
imately 12 feet above the level of the
river. It has been the general im
pression that the well was fed by
seepage from tie Willamette river,
and that the water, rising only to the
height of its source, ceased to ri3e in
the well above the river level. In fact
general comment in regard to the well
has been to the effect that it was
nothing more than proof of the fact
that the land, through which it was
sunk was mere filled-ih slough land.
Councilman F. J. Tooze, chairman
of the special water committee, was
asked for an opinion in regard to this,
and made the following statement:
"The report that the tsst well is
fed by the river is nothing more or
less than proof of the fact that people
who are opposed to the committee's
work are getting busy to defeat our
efforts- to find pure water. We can't
sink a well within a radius of ten
miles of Oregon City but that reports
like this will be circulated; However,
the committee is glad of these reports
and welcomes fully all criticism, for
the attacks on our work will simply
open up new lines of inquiry and in
vestigation that perhaps we might
have overlooked.
"Until this was called to my atten
tion, I had hot heard that this well J
was filling with -river water. I havo
only heard, that it was liable to be
overflowed in times of high water. In
reply to these reports I wish to state
emphatically, that this committee will
make no recommendations in regard
to this well until the water has been
thoroughly tested; and that in regard
to the possibility of overflow, there
can be -no rightful criticism made, for
It will be possible to so encase any
well on this property that surface wa
ter cannot enter into it.
"It appears to be very unlikely that
the water in this well is seepage from
the river, for it was struck at a depth
of 50 feet. - However, measurements
of the well and of the height of land
will be made at once, and-tnv.estiga
tion will be made to see yi ether -it
is possible for river water, jt 6 reach;
the bore. It seems to me? that , it "is'
very unlikely that it shonld.-bfpt
the river is a moving body pf vt&i'ezi
and would not be likely to- maft its
way through the underlying' Strata as
wmi'd water from a pool. , '" "
"The. main thing to be considered,
however, is not whether the water is
river water or not, but whether it is
pure If the exhaustive tests that will
be made prove it pure, what differ
ence does it make what its source
may be? Suppose it is river water
in that case it must reach the bottom
of the well through some 40 feet of
sand, at least five feet of which is
very fine sand. - This would be a fil
tration plant of the best kind, in fact
it would be one of Nature's own filtra
tion plants. Many cities filter their
water through less sand and gravel
than this, and find it good to drink.
"It must be remembered that this
water at the 12foot level in the well
does not originate there, but comes
up from the bottom. There is no
possibility of surface water getting
in, for the well is all encased In
pipe. The water struck at tha 5D-foot
level comes from a vein of gravel
which underlies over 40 feet of sand.
When the test is made the well will
be plugged below the 50 foot level,
and will be pumped out, and then
the fresh water at the bottom will be
tested just as it comes from the
gravel. The most exhaustive bacter
iological tests will be made, and if
this water is pure, the committee may
recommend it. -
"However, whatever the result, tha
committea will not recommend that
any action be taken until the whole
matter has been laid before the peo
ple, and their will in the matter as
certained.' :
Friday afternoon the special water
committee spent much time going
over the franchise for water from the
Canby wells, and w:ill probably be
ready to make a report on this matter
at next week's meeting of the city
council..
