The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Friday Maraing, December 4, 1931
IJJI.HIK
"ossibly More so Than the
Willamette Because of
Smaller Volume
(Continued from pa 1 )
The Statesman made inquiry of
tie state board of health and un
der date of Noyeirhcr 12 Dr. Fred
erick. D. Strieker state health ot
. fleer, wrote as follows:
"In regard to the Little North
Fork of the Saatlam riTer as a
proposed water supply for the
ity-f Salem, our engineer ad
vises a follows:
" "Ob October S he collected a
sample of the riv?r water near
the proposed point of diversion.
Laboratory analysis showed it
to be polluted snd unfit for
drinking purpose. Practically
' all surface waters are polluted,
at leaat during some periods of
the year. The watershed of the
Little North Fork is inhabited
by people, and stock grass en
the land. A road parallel to the
stream makes it accessible to
campers, picnickers, fishermen,
etc. It is, therefore, inevitable
that the raw water without
treatment is not safe for drlnk
4nz purposes. However, ade
quate and constant chlorlnation
would make the water safe. If
Salem should decide to divert
water from this rtream for mu
nicipal use such treatment will
be required.
"The river water does no
doubt become turbid at times.
Sedimentation in a fairly large
reserrolr may be utilised to re
move part of the suspended ma
terial, but all turbidity cannot
be removed practically without
filtration. Color caused by vesse--tation
cannot h removed by
jeaimeatation alone. Chemical
j coagulation followed by filtra
tion la necessary for color re
meraL' In erief. Dr. Strieker writes that
tests show the Little North Fork
water to be polluted and unfit for
(h-inklng purposes as raw water.
After efclorlnatl'u it would be
ate. Also filtration would be re
quired. 'Heavy Expenditure
Is Net Warranted
But that is lust what is required
for the Willamette water, chlorine
treatment and filtration. Why
spend mllUon dollars to get wa
ter which will require the same
treatment to make it potable? The
water from the main fork of the
Santlam would require the same
treatment because it is contamin
ated, and contains more suspend
ed material than the Little North
Fork. In late summer when the
Jefferson glacier is melting the
water becomes milky with the
glacial material, and is so fine
ttat careful filtration is required.
Eugene gets its water from the
McKenzie, likewise a mountain
stream, and is now installing a til
tratlon plant at a cost ot a quar
ter million dollars.
Going up the Snntiam is by no
means a new consideration. The
Wallace interest figured on it
years ago. The city a decade or so
ago made a survey of a pipeline
route. The presert owners of the
water company studied that
source before deciding to stay with
the Willamette. Every time the de-
clsion has been to choose the Wil
lamette over tho other sources,
chiefly because of the excessive
cost of going up into the moun
tains. It is less practical now to
go' up the Little North Fork than
when the city made its survey,
because at that, time it was pos
sible to clear the area and make
a protected watershed, which is
now out of the question.
Builders Spread
Organization to
T Numerous Cities
, ' The Oregon Building congress
ef which the second chapter was
organised here last spring, is
Steadily spreading throughout the
State. Eugene builders have decid
ed to Institute a chapter, the
fourth, and Albany and Corvallis
men are contemplating the move
The- third chapter was established
St Astoria in October.
, The 8alem chapter has been re
quested to go to Eugene soon to
assist at the organisation meeting
there.

this unit. Surreys already have
been made.
State highway engineers will
confer with the bureau of public
roads' technical staff to decide the
exact nature of the widening. The
commission announced it expect
ed federal aid on the project to
the extent of about $240,000.
The resolution providing for the
30-foot highway was presented to
the commission by a delegation
headed by Dr. Gerald Smith, of
Woodburn, president of the Port-land-Salem
division of the Oregon
Pacific highway association which
was formed at Woodburn last
week.
New Era-to-Canby
Relocation Protested
The cpmmiseion previously had
studied several plans for improv
ing the Pacific highway. Among
these was a study presented by
Roy A. Klein, state highway en
gineer, proposing a 20-foot paved
surface with two four-foot shoul
ders. Klein pointed out the sav
ing from this plan over the three
lane pavement would enable the
commission to increase the mile
age. The commission heard protests
against relocation of the highway
between New Era and Canby, de
signed to eliminate sharp turns.
Property owners along the route
asked that the straightening be
carried out between Canby and
the right-angle curve north of
Canby. The commission instruct
ed the engineering department of
studying the question further.
County Judge Barnard, Lane
county, asked the commission if
it would advocate money on the
secondary highway's prior to July
1 when It otherwise becomes
available. He was promised an
answer soon.
The commission decided to
meet here again December 17 to
settle all points in connection
with the projected widening of
the the Pacific highway and to
receive a report on the right-of-way.
A conference between state
highway department engineers
and members of the East Side
highway widening organizations
to determine the exact type of
pavement favorable to both
groups will be held here early
next week, C. E. Wilson, manager
o- the Salem chamber .of com
merce reported late yesterday
upon his return from Portland.
With Harry Crain, Wilson repre
sented Salem at the meeting.
Correct Material
To Be Agreed On
'There is a variance in opinion
over the correct pavement to use"
Wilson reported. "Some engineers
favor a five-foot extra-strength
asphalt shoulder to be laid on
both sides of the present highway
which will in turn be widened to
20 feet making a 30-foof over all
road. Many of the East Side del
egates want the pavement to be
entirely of concrete or else to be
macadam over all."
Following the conference here
next week and some agreement on
the type of road to be used, the
engineers and road backers are
to report back to the highway
commission. J. C. Ainaworth,
chairman, has indicated he will
hack any agreement the two
groups make. Charles K. Spauld-
ing, Salem's member of the high
way commission, is similarly
agreed to support a plan which
meets with the approval of the
engineers and of the sponsors of
the highway widening.
Illness and press of business
cut down the size of the Salem
delegation at the meeting in Port
land yesterday.

wholesale establishments in Illi

Col. Bar tram was emphatic In
his statement that the Willamette
valley has the best flax prospects
in the world, and this after he
has been traveling for the past
few months studying the flax
conditions not only in Russia but
in other countries. "I hare al

and I hare no reason to change
my mind now," remarked the
colonel.
It Is reported that Col. Bar
tram will endeavor to purchase
the surplus J. W. S. flax seed
from the state flax Industry.
With the seeding In Oregon cur
tailed next year, the state has a
quantity of seed available for
sale. Since Col. Bartram expects
to handle Increased flax acreage
In Russia and desires to improve
the quality of the flax, and has
long been a booster for the J.

that he will negotiate to buy the
state's surplus.
