SLOUGH SW PLAN FEASIBLE Hydraulic Engineer A. J. Wiley ; Decides for City. REPORT ON PROJECT FILED Engineer Laurgaard's Views for Car- ins for Peninsula Waste Sane , tioned by Expert. The proposed use of the Columbia river slough as a sewer outfall for the Peninsula and other districts in the northeast section of .the city furnishes an entirely practicable and feasible method for this purpose, acording to a report submitted to the city council yesterday by A. J. "Wiley, hydraulic en gineer. Opposition to the use of the slough on the grounds that the plan was im practicable, by a large number of prop erty owners in the Peninsula district led the city council to employ Mr. Wiley and W. C. Brown, the latter be ing1 the engineer who was retained by the protestants to the plan. City En gineer Laurgaard, who originated the plan of using the slough for a sewage outlet, was the third member of the board. Engineer "Wiley was secured from Boise, Idaho, after his selection by the council had been approved by both Kngineers Brown and Laurgaard. Mr. "Wiley's Conclusion Summarized. Engineer Wiley's conclusions are as follows: "Columbia river or Columbia slough are the only available outlets for the disposal of the sewage of the Penin sula district of Portland. "Columbia, slough, when provided with the proposed connection to the Columbia river at a point above Union avenue will provide a satisfactory out let for the sewage of the Peninsula dis trict for some years to come. "The capacity of the Columbia slough channel can be increased enlarge ment near its lower end to provide for the sewage of an estimated population of 200,000 In the Peninsula district. "Further increase in the population above the estimated 200,000 can be pro vided with a sewage outlet Into the channel but this would require an en largement throughout. Some Maintenance Required. "The proposed Columbia slough chan nel will require some maintenance in the shape of dredging and for a num. ber of years may require some bank protection, but this maintenance will not be of such magnitude as to make the project infeasible." The capacity of the slough at a low water stage, according to Mr. "Wiley'a report, is 680 second feet, an amount, he reports, far in excess of 210 second feet estimated as required for the dilu tion of sewage for the present popu lation of the propesed sewer district. The proposed channel, Mr. Wiley re ports, will give the velocity necessary to dilute the sewage of the district and empty it properly into the Columbia river. In referring to the tides Mr. Wiley reports as follows: Falling Tide Increases "Velocity. "The falling tide tends to increase the velocity at the mouth and to re verse the direction of flow in the large section. This, combined with the fall of the river, results in a velocity at the intake of 0.05 feet per second, increas ing to 0.3 feet per second at the lower end of the large section, and increasing the 1.4 feet per second at the mouth. There will be no reversal of flow, though the velocity with a falling tide In the larger section will be extremely light. There will e no concentration of sewage discharge at any point in the channel, as thought to be the case by Mr. Brown, the sewer outlets being placed at practically regular intervals." The city council yesterday referred the report to City Commissioner Bar bur, who will formulate a report to the city council to be presented Wednes day, May 21.

Not censorship, municipal, state, or national, but the National Associa tion of the Motion Picture Indstry has condemned the objectionable film to oblivion. So to that destination it's surely traveling. How will the association put it over? It's mighty simple. This body controls 95 per cent, of photoplay production in the United States. No exhibitor can exist if he's on the black book of the association. So notice is to be served immediately on all exhibitors, of whom there arc about 17.000 in the United States, that none of the producing agencies of the producing companies will serve any theater or exhibitor with motion pictures if he should run for 1 public exhibition any film that has' been disapproved by the National asso ciation. William A. Brady, president of the film organization, says: " . The action taken by the producers and distributors of the National Asso ciation of the Motion Picture Industry s directly impelled by the fact that throughout the United States there are being released at present for public exhibition certain films and health propaganda motion pictures which were made for the exclusive exhibition to Soldier audiences . in cantonments and billets, both here and abroad. . These, films treat of the social evil, and prop erly distributed among the men of the army, and navy aided materially the medical corps of the army and navy in their work. -. 'It has come to Our attention, how ever, that these pictures are exclusively for army distribution, and others pat terned along the same lines, in some manner, have become released for pub lic exhibition before mixed audiences of men, women and children. Unjustly, the entire motion picture industry is being made to suffer by the righteous indignation of the publio against these exhibitions. That the public has not been fully acquainted with the facts which led to the dissemination of such pictorial information only complicates and makes more dangerous the menace to the recognised producers in the in dustry. 'I defy any other industry to point to its record of war co-operation with the United States government with any greater pride or with any cleaner story than can be told by the motion picture industry. The activities of the films in behalf of maintaining the morale of the soldiers abroad and the civilian popu lation at home are too well known to the general public to bear repetition. So Vibrant la the medium of the ani mated picture, however, that unless it is guided by the hands of those tit ana qualified to direct it it may turn its harp weapons upon ltseii, as in eriect the exhibition of the pictures to which allude are doing."

A CAPITAL bill is Pantages newest one, from' the opening "turn in which the bullet-proof girl amazes and mystifies, until the last act, a sensa tional and spectacular exhibition by four splendid athletes. This last act Is sponsored and sent out by Alexander Pantages and it is one of the best of its kind. The Four Danubes are the athletes, each one a fine specimen of physical strength and grace. The act Is of the casting. Varletyyatid,' a "real sensation is sprung when Oscar Ball, one of the four, does a series -of mar velous pirouettes between the, casting bars. Rounds of applause accompany this turn. Charles F. Semon is the big laugh riot on the bill, and he had a dozen encores at yesterday's matinee. Charles is as thjn as of yore and he still fea tures his lanky, legs done up in tight trodsers. He has his short coat, his wheel-like hat, his scotch soldiers'-out fit and his Bet of assorted instruments from which he gleans sweetest melo dies. His gun he turns into a bagpipe, he plays on his pipe and on a hatrack and on a pair of planes. He-has a clever act, a personality that provoRes mirth, and his music and chatter are excellent.

IN WHOLE LIFE Portland Man Suffered for Eight Years Health Restored by Tanlac He Gains Twenty Pounds. "Well. sir. I can now eee why so many people are praising Tanlac, for it has fixed me up in great shape, too," said .Max Gordon, who lives at 263 Fargo street, Portland, while in the Owl Drug Store recently. Mr. Gordon Is a valued employe of the well-known Nlcolai Manufacturing Company, in the Kenton district. "For eight years," continued Mr. Gor don, "I suffered with stomach trouble and last fall I got to where I had no appetite at all. and what little I did eat would sour on my stomach and cause me hours of suffering. The gas . from this fermented condi tion would, bloat me up and at times work up through my chest and press on my heart until 1 could hardly get my breath. I'd have hard, hurting pains a)n and around the pit of my stomach and I knew better than to eat fruits or anything that had the least bit of acid in it. My liver had been very inactive for years and I had indigestion and headaches until life was a misery Instead of a pleasure. I was extremely nervous all the time and when I'd lie down at night I'd roll and tos- until I was all but worn out, then get up in the morning hardly able to drag to my work. "I Was about disgusted with all medicines as I had taken everything I knew of and still kept on losing In strength and wclsht every day, but I had read In the paper about how much good Tanlao had done others, so I de cided to try it. I had only taken it a few days when I began to pick up in every way. My appetite came back, the headaches left me and at the end of eight weeks 1 had gained 20 pounds and today I can certainly ray that I never felt better in my whole life. My liver Is in perfect condition mid I cm just eat fruits or almost anything else without being bothcrcC a particle after wards. My work at the plant Is a pleasure to mn and when I po to bed now I sleep like a school boy snd get up In the morning brimful of eneruy.
