"With ideal . Summer , weather
. during- the entlre three days of
the convention,-the state gathering- of

the' regular " programme, ' Medford
offered the visitors an auto excursion
through the Valley, a' baseball . game,
racing and, bucking contests". aud a ball
at. the Natatorlum Wednt day. night. ,
-According to he offlcers.of. the lodge
this was the first time in 10 years that
the entire organization of four depart
ments was able to meet ait one .'time
under a single-roof.-, The Natatorlum'
is not the la,rsest-bullding in the state,
but it lias'a number of ceparate apart
ments well adapted to, the secret ses

All the visitors were enthu-iaBtlo
over Medford- and the Rogue River

City Council. next weonesoay m cu
gene' "Water Board will have prepara
tions for the installation of the author
ized improvements -well under way, and
by the time the, report' of the bond at-
torneys is- rendered and the purchase
price" available, contingent- contracts
will - have been let, and the work of
adding to-the Eugene -water sytem can
go forward. - .
In-voting the bonds the ' taxpayers
authorized, four specific improvements
to the system. Installation of three
reservoirs; installation of several miles
of 10 and 12-inch main; construction
of a fireproof building over the pump
ing plant; location , of a better; intake.
For- the reservoir and main exten
sions, surveys have been made and prei
llminary plans completed. The reservoir
work probably will be let -by contract,
but it is quite likely the water board
will, install the pipes with its -own
force c-f ' workmen. - Plans '. are now.
nearly completed for the pumping
plant, building and this probably, will
be let by contract. '
Little has been done in, regard to the
new intake : as yet. ' As rsoon as the
money from the sale of the bonds Is
available, tests will be made of a well
sunk several years ago. by a private
company owning the water system at
th" time and abandoned later when
the intake pipe was washed out. These
tests will include the placing of a
large pump at the well to learn if .the
flow into the well will be sufficient
for the needs of the water, department.
The well is . located across the,, river
from the pumping plant, and water
taken -Irom ; it would,', bo filtered., by
gravel lying along the river and un
derlying; all the -Valley - land and in
addition the water' would., as now, be
passed . through the-,.mechanlcal filters.
