might as well admit that there is no
possibility or finding a sits in the city
ror a new plant.
"But the present crematory Is l
menace to the public health. It is en
tlrely too small and can t consume
nearly all even of the animal and vege
table matter in the garbage. It was
built 11 years ago for a city of not over
60.U00 or 70,vuu people, ana was oareiy
big enough for that at the time. It has
a caoacltv of onlv about 80 tons a day.
and we need one that will take care of
160 or ZOO tons.
"During 11 months of this year there
nave ueen dumped on tne ary aump
tons of cure garbage. This does not In
clude animal and vegetable matter
mixed with other rubbish. Here is
record of the work of the crematory for
the tast 11 months." and Sunerlntendent
Daggett showed a report containing tne
following items:

amount of animal and vegeiaDie matter
which is mixed with this sturr. not to
speak of countless loads of manure.
Th cost of running the crematory
during the past year has been between
U6.000 and sn.vuu. i,acn oi money to
pay for sorting, handling and -burning
the ruDOisn is to a consiaeraDie extent
the reason for the four and a half acres
of reeking pollution which offends
heaven and the noses of men for blocks
about Guild's lake.
"Now." continued Mr. tMggett. "it is
evident that we must get out of the
city. The presence of a garbage cre
matory in any Dart of the city tends
to depreciate property and we ought
not to do that There are two ways of
getting out or tne city, une is to go
down the river, taking the garbage
down on boats or scows. But that has
been tried and has proved a failure, so
It need not be considered.
"The other way is by streetcar. My
Idea Is to have a new crematory erect
ed in some gulch three or four miles
from the city on land which la not in
use and where it will not be offensive
to anybody. There would be no trouble
in finding several such places on some
of the streetcar lines running out of
the city, and it would only be necessary
to build a snort sour. nerhaDs half
mile in length, from the main line to
tne piant.
Build for the Tutors.
"And we should build for the future,
not merely for the present. A plant
capable of consuming not less than
150 or 200 tons of garbage a day should
be built, on such a plan that it can be
made large enougn so other furnaces
can be added. I estimate the cost of
sucn a plant, rirst class in every par-
uvuiar, at not over izd,uuu.
"Something must be done at once.
The present condition of things is an
outrage. That dump out there at
Guild's lake is dangerous; It is a con
stant menace to public health.
s urinermore. we ournt to have a
new system of collecting garbage. Our
present system is the worst in the
world. Ther are about So vinnw.

There Is no system. Sometimes the gar

less than twice a week, and through

to be some system to the work. This
cannot be so long as the scavengers are
Independent and each for himself.
"The only way to do the work prop
erly IS either bv contract nr tn- th
city to own Its own garbage collecting
flam suu vo.y lur mo worn out or the
general taxes. The work must be un
der one man. If this were the case and

said that he was yet "an unoffic
ial person, and not even the president
elect." The significance of the state
ment, in view of the presence on the
same platform of the Oregon chief ex
ecutive, was noted by many, although
it is not to be Inferred that this means
that Judge Taft had the Oregon situa
tion in mind at the moment.
Rut the narallel between the status
of the two men has been remarked here
by numberless persons the one legally
not vet even notified that a majority
of the American people had chosen him
ror tneir president, nevenneiess Know-Ins-
if he lives he will be president; the
other declared by the people of his com-
monweaitn as tneir cnoice tor reaerai
senator, and. It has been assumed, know
ing, too, that he will be senator, al
though not more or less legally sure
than Judge Tart of his induction Into
the office for which he had been
marked.
Chamberlain's Distinction
I might say that George Karle Cham
berlain will enter the United States sen
ate under as severe scrutiny as
every any senator has undergone. Ow
ing to the universality of knowl
edge of the Oregon situation, it will be.
indeed, a fierce light which will beat
about his Beat In that body, and his de
meanor and activities will be subjected
to minutest Inspection by an army of
sharp-eyed newspaper men in the press
gallery, by trained statesmen at both
ends of the capitol, and by veteran of
ficials of the several governmental
branches.
He will be absolutely the first sen
ator ever regularly elected by a legis
lature of opposite political faith, and
hence his induction into, the office wtH
be the very first instance of the achieve
ment of what has been regarded as the
trrtknate by all advocates of popular
election of senators.
It it true that public opinion Is In ex
actly Vhat frame which will invest the
new Oregon senator with full value and
a little more, if only, as his supporters
know, will be, he sustain his former
high standard of public service.
I am in a position to know that bis
vUIt to Washington immeasurably
trengthenea him in quarters where be
wltt be able to make It count for the
good of Oregon and the nation.
