Klamath Falls Says Typhoid
Cases Due to Old Ankeny
Aqueduct and Gets Into a
Row With Uncle Sam.
(KpK-Ul to Tb Journal
Klamath Falls, Or., Sept. 20. Unles
an amicable settlement 1b reached at
once there will soon be filed a suit In
the district court which will be entitled
"United States vs. City of Klamath
Falls, Oregon."
For many years there has been main
tained in this city the old Ankeny Irri
gation canal, which when tyie govern
ment invaded the Klamath field It took
over. Since the village of Llnkvllle has
developed Into the city of Klamath
Falls, the canal Is accused of having
become more and more of a menace to
the good health of the community.
This fall the city has been threat
ened with an epidemic of typhoid fever
and City Health Officer R. R. Hamil
ton found that the city water supply,
which 1b taken from a large spring
along the river, was contaminated by
seepage from the Ankeny canal. Dr
Calvin S.' White, secretary of the state
board of health, verified the findings of
Dr. Hamilton and advised that lntmedl
ate action be taken to shut off the
water flowing In the canal. The at
torney general then mapped out a
course of procedure for the city au
thorttles.
City Sams Canal; Sam Taksh Out.
Mayor Sanderson and Dr. Hamilton,
realising that Immediate action was
necessary, had a dam built across the
canal Just where It enters the city
limits. The dam was no more than
built when a force of men employed by
the reclamation service removed it. The
city again had it built. The reclama
tion service has threatened to remove
It and to bring suit against the city to
restrain It from placing further ob
tractions In the canal.
Project Engineer W. W. Patch occu
pies the peculiar position where he is
forced to perform a duty he would
much rather leave undone. He Is fully
aware that the old canal Is a menace
to the good health of the city and has
exerted every Influence to have the
canal abandoned or else turned over to
the city so that It could be replaced
with a pipe line. The government, how
ever, must maintain the canal, as there
are several water rights field by parties
who use the water for irrigating lawns
and gardens. Mr. Patch has orde'rs
from his superiors to keep the canal
open and to supply water for those
holding rights. -
Citizens Xeady to Use Pore.
Those who have charge of the situa
tlon say that the dam built by the city
will be maintained no matter what trie
results. If the government brings suit
and gets a restraining order it Is al
most certain that If the ditch cannot be
, shut down legally the reclamation serv
ice will have to maintain an armed
guard to keep it open. There are at
present a number of typhoid cases in
this city and in the past month two
deaths have occurred. It has been es
tablished to the satisfaction of every
one that the water supply is contami
nated and that the old Ankeny ditch is
the cause of it. The officials feel that
If the nuisance cannot be abated
legally tne situation is so serious that
it luiist be atalcd by force.
The typhoid situation is not extreme
ly Herious. The health officer Issued a
timely warning and the water company
haH notified its patrons to boil all
water ued for household purposes. All
dairies Iihvo been inspected and when
ever It was found that unsanitary con
ditions existed they were remedied or
else the dairy was forced out of busi-
riews. 1 hose drastic measures nave
averted a probable epidemic.
WET PLOWING TO
SOLVE PROBLEM
Farmers Need Education in
Backward Counties To
Cooperate.
Walter Wade, rancher and business
man of Olex, Gilliam county, who Is In
Portland today, says that the land own
ers' of his county are ready - to ener
getically aid the program planned for
Morrpw-Sherman-OUllam counties by
the tri-county development committee
and state conservation commission of
which J. N. Teal Is chairman, and with
whom Mr. Wade conferred today,
"We have not had usual rainfall for
several years in our county. This ac
counts In part for retrogression," aalu
Mr. ' Wade. "There hRve been other
handicaps. But If you want to put your
finger on the heart of our troubles, it
is agricultural methods.
"The land Is plowed when It Is dry.
To conserve molature It should be
plowed when wet and kept free from
weeds. Lack of stock and scarcity of
money keeps the farmers behind. But
when the plowing la done when the land
Is wet results are always forthcoming,
even if rainfall Is slight I know three
farmers that always do- this and they
always do better-than pay expenses,
even In bad years.
"The people need education. They
want it. They look with warmest in
terest and approval on the Sherman-Morrow-Gllllam
program for the next
year. This Interest particularly applies
to the land owners. Renters are not so
much concerned. Their interest extends
to what can be gotten out pf the land,
this year, not next or the year after.
But the land owners are ready to do
anything that will Increase production
and make the land yield as it should.
"The land is all right. It is rich.
The land that has been farmed longest
produces best, and this without ferti
lizer." The Sherman-Morrow-Gilllam pro
gram of which Mr. Wade spoke, in
cludes a conference at Arlington next
month when a special demonstration
train of the Harrlman lines and the
Agricultural college will be present. A
hog, poultry, small crop contest will be
Instituted, and the awards given next
year at a tri-county fair.
"Let us change our methods, let us
get the wet plowing Idea firmly fixed,
and cut up the great tracts of land
after getting water on them," said Mr.
Wade, "and we will have the homes and
the home life and the permanent, pro
ductive, prosperous population that Is
needed for the advance of our country."
SAYS POLICEMAN
ACTED CRUELLY
McCants Stewart, Colored
Lawyer, Declares Bluecoat
Knocked Him Down.
Portland, Sept. 20. To the Editor of
The Journal In the matter of the ref
erence In yesterday's edition of your
paper concerning my charges against
Policeman E. a. Marsh: Saturday
night, September 1, I wish to say
that I left a Vancouver car at Russell
and Union avenue north, en route to
my home, which is at 613 North Union
avenue, just about 100 feet from the
corner, on the west aide of the street,
and In passing the restaurant at 624
Union avenue north I aaw some friends
and acquaintances who live In that Im
mediate' vicinity dining. . I stopped on
the sidewalk to exchange pleasantries
through the screen door, aaylng in
Jovial way that it was time for their
banquet to close. This door was 10 or
15 feet from the corner. I was sur
prised a moment later when my atten-
1 tion was directed to an officer. No. 136,
! whom 1 subsequently learned was E. O.
Marsh, who swiftly came around the
1 corner and In a gruff, uncivil and rough
1 manner, howled at me, "Cut out that
! noise. What are you doing out here?"
continuing toward me. I asked him,
"What is the matter with you?" He
said that he would show me what the
matter was, that he would run me in. I
told him that he could not run me In
because I had not done anything. I had
scarcely time to say more when he
pushed, jerked and knocked me off of
the street into the gutter.
About this time the men In the res
taurant were 'up and at the door, at
which time I demanded an explanation
from the officer, telling him that he
had used no Judgment and asking him
what was the matter, what had I done,
la which conversation I referred to him
as a "tin soldier,' and told him that in
stead of seeking to create a disturbance
and to arrest an inoffensive citizen on
his way home and in front of his very
house-door, he should be looking for
criminals, murderers and thugs. The
way I spoke to him in front of the
crowd hurt his pride and he placed me
under arrest. He took me to the box
near Rodney and Russell streets and
sent in a call for the wagon. He in
formed me that the wagon could not
come there and that I would have to
walk with him to Union and Holladay
streets. 17 or 18 blocks away. As we
proceeded south on Union avenue and
came to my residence, I requested per
mission to go to my door and' inform
my wife that I would be out on a mat
ter of business and that she should not
wait for me longer and informed Marsh
that there was no possibility of my es
caping, because - I wore a "cork leg,"
but he pointedly and gruffly refused.
When he reached Holladay and Union
avenue the wagon came and I was taken
to the police station, where I was in
formed that the Judge had to fix ball, it
being the rule of the department at this
time that the chief captains and offi
cers in etiarge had not that authority.
After falling to connect with Judge
Taawell over the telephone, Captain
Keller allowed me to order a taxloab,
and delivering me into the custody of
Sergeant Joseph Kalian, we were driven
to Judge Taswell's home, and even then
we were unable to get the Judge.
I was admitted to the bar In St.
Paul, Minn., In 1899, a graduate of the
law department of the University of
Minnesota, where I afterwards returned
and took a post course. While my home
was In New York city, where I attended
the publio schools, yet I was sent south
and attended and finished the normal
course at Tuskegee Institute, at the
same time learning the printers Itrade.
I came to this city In 1902 and was
duly admitted In the supreme court to
practice In all the courts of this state,
and have continuously practiced law
here since that time. I enjoy the con
fidence and respect of my friends and
associates, as well as of the bench and
bar of this county. This matter is an
Important one and might have been
serious. This officer was In a bad,
ugly and quarrelsome disposition, and
had I taken hold of him or offered any
retaliation, he would have resorted to
his gun and blackjack there on the side
walk and sought to brand me as one
resisting an officer. I have the names
and addresses of the persons present,
none of whom can satisfactorily explain
to me or themselves or account for the
unwarranted actions of this police offi
cer. In my opinion and in the opinion of
others. Officer Marsh, No. 186, lacks
Judgment He committed a wanton,
wilful assault and battery upon me,
without cause. He was niggardly, ma
licious and rude In his conduct and de
meanor, such conduct unbecoming a
officer and a gentleman, ' He la not,
safe man for our polloe force, 1 hara
I do not propose to be knocked and
pushed In the gutbar, arrested and sent
to the town lockup wltbout any cause,
and allow the matter to go unchallenged
and unprotested. -! v -,

L. H. Ledger of San Francisco, su
preme conductor of the Order of Rail
way Employes, is in Portland for the
purpose of reorganizing the Portland
division of the order. The reorganiza
tion will take place at a smoker to be
given at Ringler's Academy in the Mul
key building, Second and Morrison
streets next Friday evening. Public In
stallation of officers will also occur
at the smoker followed by a general
good time. The meeting 1b to be open
and a general invitation has been ex
tended to all roalroad men, members and
non-members to attend.
The order was organized six years
ago in Sacramento so that railroad em
ployes might have protection against
accident or sickness. Fraternal Insur
ance is provided to its members at ab
solute cost. It extends from the Can
adian to the Mexican line and east as
far as Denver and is rapidly gaining a
foothold as far east as Chicago. The
membership at present is 35.000 and
growing rapidly. Its headquarters are
in San Francisco.
The order has gained the recognition
and approval of 2 different transcon
tinental roads and the representatives
of the order are allowed from 10 to
15 minutes of the companies' time to
talk with the employes on the insurance
question which means a great deal to
the roads in some of their big shops.
The companies also allow their em
ployes to take out the insurance and
premiums from their pay checks at the
end of the month. This gives many
employes a chance to take out the in
surance who otherwise would have to
wait some time if they did not have this
privilege.
AEROPLANE MUST BE

London. Sept. 20. "It is scientifically
possible for an aeroplane to fly across
the Atlantic, and before many years the
world will look back with wonder that
the feat was ever regarded as impossi
ble." A cautious scientist, A. K. Berrlman
of London, made this statement In a
paper read before the British Associa
tion of Portsmouth.
"But," he added, "before an uninter
rupted Journey across the 1700 miles
that separate the nearest adjacent
points of land can be accomplished by a
machine carrying two men It will have
to be shown that an aeroplane can be
built capable of carrying at least 1500
pounds of useful load at 60 miles an
hour, at a gliding angle more nearly in
the order of one ir seven than the an
gle of one In four, which at present rep
resents the efficiency of a good mod
ern flier.'
CITY MAY ESTABLISH
HORSESHOEING PLANT
Mayor Rushlight will. In his annual
budget to the council the first of the
year, recommend an appropriation of
S1500 to establish a portable blacksmith
shop for the use of the fire, street clean
ing and other departments. lie expects
to accomplish by this Innovation a sav
ing of several hundred dollars a month
on horseshoeing bills alone.
The cost of shoeing the 280 horses in
the fire and street cleaning departments
aggregates between 8500 and 8700
monthly and the mayor believes a great
saving can be made If the city does the
work ltsell.
Another desirable result that would
be attained would be the greater effi
ciency that would be brought about in
the fire ' department. Every horse In
the department Is shod at least ones, a'
month, and heretofore It has been neo
essary to put entire companies tem
porarily out of service while the ani
mals were being res hod. With a port
able outfit each station could be visited

Speed Up Production
Each machine in your shop is an investment
its profit is determined by the quantity and
quality of the work it does.
Speed is the important factor in making your t
factory profitable. It is very hard to keep
machines up to speed with belt and line
shaft drive. The belts will slip on glazed
spots, will "crown" and convey the starting '
jerks of one machine to others. '
Delicate work is broken or marred by these .
jerks and production is reduced by , the
lowered speed.
Electric motors, using our power service,
will increase your production 10 to 50 and
reduce your power cost, ' : , , .

will demonstrate these facts in dollars and cents.
