Dr.
R. E. Lee Stelner Once More
Becomes a Permanent Resi.
dent of Salem.
The many friends of Dr. R, E. Lee
Steiner will be pleased to learn that
he has deckled to onco more make
Salem his home and engage in the
practice of his profession in this city,
says the Statesman. After looking
over the field and visiting different
points with a view to finding a suitable
location, Dr. Steiner made up his
mind to establish his future home
among his old-time friends. He has
opened offices in the McCornack build
ing, which he will occupy jointly with
Dr. W. Carletoti Smith.
Dr. Steiner came to Salem from
Ohio twenty years ago, and some
years later engaged in the drug busi
ness, being for several years at the
head of the Steiner Drug Company.
He finally took up a course of medi
cine, and after receiving his diploma
located a't Dallas, Polk county, where
he practiced his profession for a period
of three years. He then moved to
Lakeview, Lake county, where he
established a big practice and pros
pered. A few months ago he decided
to remove to a more desirable country,
where his family might enjoy greater
advantages and where ho would not
be subjected to the hardships neces
sarily endured by a physician in the
inland country. As a result of his do
site for a change he Is now
permanently located among his large
circle of old-time friends, who most
heartily welcome him and hi8 family
back to their midst.
Dr. Steiner gained many friends
during his residence in Lake county
and during the last Bession, repre
resented that county in the lower
branch of the legislature.
Raises Cotton in Oregon.
J. W. Baker has a patch of cotton
at his home in this city which wo'uld
make the Sunny South turn green
with envy. He has been making a
specialty of cotton raising and has
some large well developed plants this
year that look as thrifty and large as
could be found down south. They
are quite a curiosity bore, and attract
a great deal of attention. George
Calhoun has a display of Mr. Baker's
cotton in his window. Grants Pass

Civil Engineer Estimates That Oravity
Water System for Independence
Would Cost $35,000
Engineer G. N. Miller, who was
recently employed by the Independ
ence city council to estimate the cost
of a gravity, water system .for that
city, has submitted the following
report :
To the Hon. Mayor and City Council,
Independence, Oregon.
Gentlemen :
In accordance with your Instruc
tions, I have made a preliminary sur
vey for the pipe line of the proposed
gravity water system for your city
and I herewith respectfully beg to
submit the following report and esti
mate of cost of the proposed system :
The intended source of supply, as
you are fully familiar, is situated on
the East side of the Willamette River,
about three miles from the city. The
water In the springs is of excellent
quality and can conveniently bo
carried by terra cotta pipes to a suit
able reservoir site located about two
and one-half miles from the city and
at an elevation of 175 feet above Main
street.
Gauging by Weir measurements
was taken of the springs on the 15th
day of August this year, and the
amount of water then was found to be
about 200,000 gallons In 24 hours.
This quantity would be sufficient
for a population of 2000 inhabitants.
For collecting the water at the springs
and carrying it into the proposed one
fourth million gallons reservoir, four
and six inch clay pipe should be used,
and for the main pipe line from the
reservoir to the city 8-inch wood pipe,
with the exception of the Willamette
River crossing 8-inch cast iron pipe
with flexible joints is proposed.
Wooden pipe is extensively used,
and has been for years throughout
this western country with great suc
cess under conditions similar to those
existing here.
The cast iron pipe across bhe river
channel is to be laid in a trench,
dredged out not less than three feet In
depth below the bottom of the river, so
as to make the pipe laid theroin
permanent and secure.
Several places along the river were
examined and the one most suitable
for crossing, as well as the least ex
pensive, was found to bo in a direct
line with C Street near the ferry.
The surveyed route follows the
county road from the foot of the hill
to the city. A shorter and more direct
route can be had by crossing through
the timber land and hop fields and a
saving of about SC00 made, but the
revenue that may be obtained for
supplying die houses with water,
located along the county road, would
perhaps justify the adoption of that
route.
The carrying capacity of the pipe
while used for Are protection is about
525 gallons per minute. This amount
of water will keep three one-inch
nozzle fire-streams going, when the
reservoir is filled, for ten hours at a
pressure head of about 100 feet, thus
affording ample fire protection for
your city.
The distribution system will consist
of six and one-eighth miles of street
water mains. Four and six inch steel
pipe is to be used throughout the city
with the exception of the North portion
of the town which is sparsely settled
where wooden pipe is proposed.
The system will bo supplied with 20
fire hydrants. About GOO pounds of
special castings and 4000 pounds of
pig lead will also be required. The
water will be delivered to the con
sumers in sufficient quantities at a
pressure head of about 1G5 feet. The
network of pipe covers practically the
whole improved portion of the city
and is so arranged that a circuit has
been provided for nearly the whole
system.
In this system when finished, the
Throat Coughs
A tickling in the throat;
hoarseness at times; adeep
breath irritates it; these
are features of a throat
cough. They're very de
ceptive and a cough mix
ture won't cure them.
You want something that
will heal the inflamed
membranes, enrich the
blood and tone up the
system .. .. .. .'.
Scoffs Emulsion
is just such a remedy.
It has wonderful healing
and nourishing power.
Removes the cause of
the cough and the whole
system is given new
strength and vigor . .'.

From the preliminary survey, maps
and profiles have been made up so
that it was possible to make a fairly
closo and accurate estimate of the cost
of the construction work.
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
Assuming that the city has a popu
lation of 1500 inhabitants, and assum
ing Ave persons to the house would
give us 300 houses with an average
rate of $1.25 per month from each
house, which Is a very reasonable
water tax. This gives us a revenue of
$4500 per annum. The operating
expenses of the gravity system should
not exceed $1200.00 per annum, hence
we have :
Revenue from water consumers $4,500.00
Interest 5 per cent on $35,000. . .$1750
Operating expenses 1200 2,950.00
Net income to city per annum ...$1,550.00
In addition to this, as the growth of
the city continues, the revenue from
the salo of the water will Increase
correspondingly.
I may mention that if the proposed
works are undertaken and carried out
in a first class manner, as outlined in
this report, your city will have a
modern water system that will never
fall to render the services for which it
Is intended.
Respectfully submitted,
O. N. MILLElt,
Civil and Hydraulic Engineer.
Dated September 4, 1905.
USEFUL LIFE ENDED

to Dr. A. M. Belt. A few years later
they removed to Missouri, where they
lived until 1850, when they crossed the
plains to Oregon, settling in Salem,
whore they thereafter made their
home. Dr. Belt died lu 1881. Mrs.
Belt was for many years a leading
member of the Episcopal Church and
died a communicant of that faith.
Throughout her life she was known to
her neighbors and friends as a woman
of kind and generous nature and open
hospitality. She always enjoyed good
health and strength, her death being
due to the natural decay of old age.
She leaves eight children : Mrs.
S. E. Huelat, Salem; Mrs. Emily

hop buyer shipped two carloads of
R. B. Iloy'b hops at Creswell, Lane

13 cents. The lot consisted of 47 bales
of the Early Fuggles variety and were
choice hops.
