Willam ette water waa used, however, typhoid waa quite common, notwithstanding that the water wee taken in the upper river where ' tt ''appeared quite pure. Captain Oraham beltevee all the riven steamers abould be eompellel to use Bull Run water whenever possible. -"We epmmenced using elty- water about four ' years ago on ' our boeta," said Captain Oraham, "and since that time have had only ene ease of typhoid en our boeta. That eass I do not at tribute to ths water because the young fellow who took elck waa ill when he want to work and had the disease In his systsm. - " There le no question but that ths river water ' le unfit ' for - drink and should bs used under no elrcumstanoes excepting.

Seme of the river steamers era still aslng watsr from the Columbia river, their operators . contending that the water there le free from genre, ' but In view of the fast that a number of casee of typhoid have developed on these boats their owners will la all probability arrange te stock up with water here before departing. In' soms casee It will necessitate the Installation ef larger tanka but this It Is .said will prove ne particular ' hardship oa ths steamboat owners and tha publlo WU1 be greatly benefited. - When esked whether Bull Run water waa being used on hie steamer one steward yeaterday snawered In the af firmative but inquiry among the erew revealed the fact that the water supply was being . drawn from the Columbia river. .' - - ' . Most of ths steamboat earners have signified their intention of using elty water in the . future, ee there Is little likelihood ef a typhoid epldemie being spread from the river boats. .
