I IY HER SUPPLY IS Ashland citizens are again clamor ing about the city water being doc tored with chlorine, which hag been unusually evident during the past week-end. Chlorine has been used in the wa ter continually for over a year, with the amount cut down during the summer to a minimum, according to Water Superintendent Hosier, who has charge of the chlorine plant The reason given for the great amount of chlorine in the water the past few weeks, is that the water at the upper intake is so low that all the gas released is drawn into the pipes, whereas during the spring, when the water was high, quite bit of the gag escapes, as only small portion of the water goes into the water mains. It is quite notice able that the chlorine is much stronger when the upper half of the city is sprinkling than when the lower part of the city is using the water. This Is explained by Mr, Hosier, who states that the upper Intake must supply all the water for the higher . part of the city, while the lower part is supplied from the lower intake where there Is a larger storage of water. The last report on the condition of the water showed that, while not of, the highest possible quality, yet is is not considered as being really bad. Tests of water taken from the creek, however, show that it is not fit for human consumption, nad should not be used with first boiling. When asked what caused the wa ter to become infested with the disease-carrying germi, Mr. Hosier stated that he was informed by the state authorities that picnicking and camping parties above the Intakes were responsible for the condition of the water. This was the reason a guard was appointed some weeks ago to keep picnic parties out of the upper reaches of the canyon during the summer, and Mr. Hosier says he believes, a guard should be kept n the canyon during all that part of the year when camping and picnick ing are possible. He further stated it would be a profitable investment to fence In the water shed and keep out of it all persons except those having business there. BAD BLACK REAR IS KILLED AT THE DALLES THE DALLES, Or., Sept. 11. A big black bear, weighing more than 300 pounds, which had been killing sheep for several months past on the ranch of D. P.
