: Water Search Appears at End j I
"i FTER 'ery careful preliminary surveys Stevens & Koon,
engineers, definitely ' recommend Stayton island as a
: source of the water supply for the city of Saleml All indi
cations point to this as almost an ideal source, and if the final
development conforms to these indications the city's water
problem may be regarded as settled in a mannef unusually
- satisfactory. For on Stayton island Jthere has been located an
.abundance of pure, naturally filtered water, available for
delivery to Salem through an 18-mile pipe line by gravity,
thus relieving ther system of the expense of pumping and fil
... , tration. The summary of the report which appears in today's
- Statesman should be studied by every Water user! and tax
i payer. . . . . y' j j - . -
Imagine, if you will, drawing from the tap in- your home
"near-mouritain" water that has never seen daylight from
the time it entered the pipeline, which has Just rui downhill
toyoiirown service pipe, water which is purer th any sur
face mountain stream, and which probably will be j many de
grees cooler than that now supplied the city." Thai is the kind
of water the city will have about a year hence if the develop
ment proceeds. A few months ago no one would havfc dreamed
- it was possible to get such water. The island's potentialities
were learned only recently when A. D. Gardner!, veteran
river man at Stayton, fearing diversion of water! from his
own canal, recommended the island to the city. Exploration
as far as it has gone has proved his contention. Thje city has
acquired options on the land required. All that is j needed is
the final word from the city council to proceed. The end of the
long,' long struggle for better water for Salem (appears in
sight. . -' '. '- . J j ,
Set in a well-watered country, Salem has sometimes been
in the same boat as the "Ancient Mariner'
; "Water, water
':i r And not a drop
r Many are the jibes that
its water. In the summer time when the river was low the
old filter beds were inadequate to supply the amount needed
and the higher temperature of the water made the chlorine
taste. more. perceptible. There were times when; impurities
vaguely called algae appeared in the water. While a new fil
tr plant would have furnished the city with better Water, the
expense of pumping and filtration would be continuous. There
is no supply of pure mountain water within access from the
city as ail watersheds are open and occupied in part.1 Con
troversy has raged foryears over where to go fori water. The
city council definitely settled the controversy a few months
I ago by selecting the Santiam at Stayton. The late! discoveries
of the island as a filtration bed make the Stayton district far
: more practicable than it seemed otherwise. A source far bet
ter than any ever discussed has been found; and ihe city of
Salem, may well be happy that the community dispute over
water may come to an end. And it should indeed tie grateful
1 to A. D. Gardner for giving the city the benefit of his thor
ough knowledge of the Santiam.. - j
The costs will be well within the estimates allowed by
. the council for developing the supply line. The pipeline will
deliver a much larger quantity than the city requires, allow
ing surplus for sale to state institutions, the paper! mill or to
- communities along the way. Operating savings as! time goe3
on and consumption increases should be ample, with present
; earnings, to take care of the obligations. Savings in con
struction costs will allow for additional betterments in the
: iistribution system. . ! j
r (The water prospects for Salem are now such lis to cause
genuine elation among the citizens, who should not hesitate
'? to encourage the council and the water commission to pro-
ceeu expeaiuousiy witn tne development.

IT; is unfortunate that the state capitol commission came to
verbal controversy over the extension of powefs to! a sub
committee. The commission, although it is altogether too
large for efficient work, has gotten along with faiir concord;
and should make every, effort to avoid partisan! politics of
. anjkind, and personal acrimony. Clearly the commission
could not delegate its power and responsibility to! a sub-committee
save for handling of routine details. The job was vest
ed in a commission of nine by the legislature and this com
mission lacks authority to convey the same powers I to any
group of threeThe board will just have to carry bn with the
whole commission passing judgment on question that arise.
To those who have grown impatient over seeming delays
the. news will be appreciated that they dp not (have much
longer to wait. On May 22 the plans of some one or two hun
dred architects will! be opened and judged and the name of
the winning architect announced by the month-end. After
, that the job will go along as fast as the architect ind the nine
member commission and PWA and the contractors can move
(which is not very fast). ' j !
. . Reports from Washington indicate that a fresh allotment
of $400,000,000 will be ear-marked for new PWA work. The
state should lay plans to apply for a supplemental, grant to
bear part of the cost of the state library and office building
which will still be needed when the capitol is completed.

PERHAPS THE BEST ieridence

It Is possible the Landdn candi-

IT IS INTERESTING to note the
arious ways in which the Roose

official, are trriir-M "ooV"

are back of him and he has some
nefarious connection with is.
Standard OIL Another-hew one
is that he is supported by reac

is Just a poor Kansas Idumbell,

creatures whose main idea in life

ALL THESE arguments! tend to
oecome ridiculous when !th n.
counter the facts, and ihe: chief
reliance of the New Dealers in
tneir anti - Landon campaign is
not upon them. Rather, jit Is up
on the "candidacy" of Senator

publicity from New Deaj writers.
no secret is maae tnat nothing
would delight Mr. Roosevelt and
Mr. Farley more than success for
mr. uoran in various primary
contests and the rolling up for
him of a big convention vote.
FROM THE DAY Mr, Roosevelt
had -him to lunch at lAn White
House, he has been ruxting with
tne isew Deal blessingj. They
know, of courm "t h a i a 1. nn
chance whatever of Mr Borah's
nomination. So does Mr. Borah.
They know now his convention
vote wiU not be very jlarge. If
there were no other reasons, his
age alone would be an! insuper
able bar to his selection: i as a
candidate. What they hope and
expect is that Mr. Borah, will
have enough convention strength
to have a big nuisance value, and
that, after ! he is turned ,4own,
true to the creed of thie profes
sional liberal who can'i get his
way, he will howl to Heaven
about the domination of the
"mercenaries" and "reactionar
ies" of Wall Street. j
IT REALLY IS an absurd 'situa
tion. Hre Is the so-called demo
cratic administration busily en
gaged through its politicians and
Dress agents, in bnildinsr nn an
alleged! republican candidate,
with the expectation that he will
turn on his own party jwben he
fails to be nominated. And here
is this alleged candidate bitterly
assailing his own party,; but say
ing almost nothing whatever crit
ical of cither the man or the
party he professes to want to
turn out of power. . j
IT DOES SEEM that if) the peo
ple do not see through this "set
up" they are blind, indeed. The
efforts of New Deal newspaper
writers to make the Borah "can
didacy"' look -real and give the
Idaho senator an excuse! for ani
mosity toward Governor Landon
are so open that they would
seem ' to be transparent to the
casual eye. The Idea that it is
dangerous to nominate j a candi
date unapproved . by Mr. Borah
was originated by' Mr. Borah, is
fostered by the New Dealers and
promoted by a group of sympa
thetic writers. At the! moment
they have raised the Borah band
against - both Landon fand i Knox.
Another turn of the wheel and
they may find cause for him to
excom municate Vandtnberg or
Steiwer, The game Is to put
the Borah curse ; on aiy ', candi
date with a chance to! win. A
more absurd piece of political fic
tion than that the Borah curse
is a deadly thing has Snot been
put over in our time. Itj is a tri
bute to the publicity talents of
Senator Borah that he thai been
able to get so far with bo thin
notion. - r

Quoting from CoL Hunter's book:
"Later In .the season' Study and
myself concluded to go to Scott's
Bar, on Scott's river, for a pros
pecting tour, as the water had giv
en out on our claims; we 'laid
over' our claims till winter.
"We, with three other miners,
commenced to sink a .shaft on
what was called 'Poor Man's Bar,'
some two miles below Scott's Bar.
"This PooY Man's Bar had been
prospected to some extent before,
but as it was very deep and full of
large bowlders, it was very costly
work to sink a shaft there, and
all who tried it had failed, which
was why it was called Poor Man's
Bar.
a
"The five of us sank a thaft 16
feat square and about 20 feet
deep,' to the bedrock, having to
blast many bowlders in doing so.
"We were about four weeks at
it, and when we reached bedroek
we found that the rock pitched or
sloped to the river.
"We got tome 18 or 10 in
small specimens out of a crevice,
and, as the rainy season was com
ing on, and. Study and I had very
good, paying ground, we conclud
ed to return to Humbug, which
we did, as will appear further on.
'm S .
"We left this bar, and, as we
afterward learned, the other three
men, ! in company with another
man,: sank another shaft at the
edge of the one we had sunk, and
running 20 feet toward the river.

"Reaching bedrock, they clean
ed up about $20,000 out of a
shaft If by 20 feet, and then sold
their; claim for a large sum of
money to capitalists who subse

out an Immense amount of money.

be one of the richest bars in north

AS A RESULT of the winter's ex
cessive anow. tba spring rains, and
early thaw, the authorities have been
concerned with the many problems
of public bealtb and sanitation. These
public servants are ever on the alert
and it Is largely because of their en-
ergetic efforts that epidemics of dis
ease are prevented.
Many serious diseases arise as a
result of filth and lack of sanita
tion. Measures normally enforced
may become impossible by unexpect
ed calamities, such aa Hoods, torna
does and earthquakes.-. When these
occur there Is often widespread In
fection by typhoid fever and other
filth diseases.
Typhus fever was at one time one
of the most dreaded diseases of hu
manity. It was prevalent every
where, afflicting rich and poor alike.
The disease still exists in certain
parts of the world, especially in those
sections where unhygienic conditions
still exist.
It is caused by a germ found in
rats. This germ Is carried from one
rat to another, by mice and fleas. It
Is then transmitted to humans by
fleas, and may be passed from one
person to another.
, Skia Eruption
The victim has a high fever, sever
headache, chills and prostration.
Eruptions of the skin . appear about
the third to tha fifth day of the dts-
ease. But before the akin symptom
; appears the r, sufferer complains of
weakness, with loss of. "pep", back
' ache, and possibly severs abdominal
pain. .-
In the beginning, this disease may
be confused with typhoid fever. But
the doctor recognizes It at once when
he notes the appearance of the skia
rash. This b reddish in color, chang
ing to a purplish hue. It covers the
entire body with the exception of the
face. -A : -v.; s-: -
Typhus fever Is a serious disease
because it lowers the resistance of

tions. The danger of such a dreaded
