Midgley's planing mill, and will lay
pipe and pump water for continuous
use from this old well as soon as con

It will be remembered that Eugene
had a fearful typhoid epidemic a few
months ago, and the local nhvaiclniiM
and state board of health condemned
the supply of water as being unfit for
use, unless It was boiled. Notwlth
standing those facts the Willamette
Valley Company has a force of men
working day and night digging n
trench to the well condemned and
known to contain typhoid germs.
Business men generally condemn
the action of the compnny as an out
rage, and the local physicians de
nounce the action us a menace to the
public health and the welfare of the
city.
It Is probable that a mass meeting
will be called and the situation br;
discussed thoroughly, and It Is likely

but orders must be obeyed. One om

not stand for such water, and that :
