SUSTAIN LOW LUMBER
RATE TO CALIFORNIA
San Francisco, Sopl. 3 0. In bus-
tulnhiK the demurrer by the govern-j
nient to an application for an Injunc-i
lion, filed by the Southern I'aeifiol
Company, seeking to restrain the In-j
terstate Commerce Commission from'
establishing a rate on lumber be-1
tween Oregon and Calif, imia. the'
Cnitert Status circuit court of appeals;
today rendered a decision which up
1) il !p the authority of the cominiHsion I
I') fiv freiglit charges upon what 11'
considers a Jus tand equitable basis,
and sustains it in its direct applica
tion to the most important clause In
v rate law, namely, the' right of
the commission to relieve shippers
when in its Judgment they are enti
tled to such relief.
The railroad sought to Increase the
rate from $;l.tt to $".00 per thous-i
and feet, and the commission, upon I
receipt of a protest from the Asso-j
elated Lumber .Dealers of the North-j
west, decided that $3.40 was a reus-,
onable rate.
Judges UnsH. Morrow and (lllberl
rendered the decision, and it removes
the last obstacle against putting Into
effect permanently the proposed
commission rate.
(This decision is a very impm-lant
one as affecting many Willamette
valley mills, which cater to the Cali
fornia trade.

GOVERNOR HANLY
IS EXONERATED
Kugene, Or., Sept. 30, IfiOS.
To tho Mayor and Common
Council of tho City oT
Kugene:
(ientloiiieu: I beg leave, to
report that I have this day
measured the flow of. Itltch
ey creek and find It to bo
2.2 1 11,1 (10 gallons per day.
The measurement was ninilo
wllh n Clppolettl weir which
Is 10 feet on lis edge. The
calculation given above does
mil take account of the veloc
ity of approach, which would
make tho flow greater, and
Is therefore a factor of safe
ty. There 1b considerable
leakage under the wler, per
haps I no. linn gallons per day.
Perhaps I should slate that
there Is an old abandoned
wler some little distance be
low the one I used. This
weir was discarded August
17. 1II0N, because It was con
structed when the water was
,hlgh and the loss by leakage
there was not Important. A
measurement on this old weir
gave 9117. 2on gallons per day.
The new weir was put In Au
gust 17, I mis, and carefully
constructed to prevent leak
age, yet thet-i! Is sum' loss by
it.
Measurement s made on the
old abanil ined weir are not to
be relied upon al all.
Trusting llils will explain

To the Editor: yutto a llttln
query has conio to mo since yesterday
In regard tri I ho recent 'various witter
examination reports, l'rohahly noth
Ing Is more difficult for the masses
lo understand thnn'thu various re
ports Hiat'Oro ninilo on water from
time to F.ven n physician ask
ed me iinoiil the Indefinite descrip
tion of some of tho nnnlyses. I
would like to say to the public, that
I selected samples of water for tho
benefit a"d enlightenment of tho cit
izens of Kugene, and am always for
the good and health of the communi
ty, regardless of any part or Interest
that may and usually happens to ex
ist In ,jny vicinity. I selected sam
ples o( water with precautions for or
dinary practical purposes, but iih you
will see later on, not Ideal or perfeet.
Kvery precaution possible was taken
as to cleanliness, yet the water was
taken from the streams soon lifter a
rain, when (iilto a Humility of sedi
ment, or small pnrtlcles of debris
were floating In the water. I drew the
Hiip'tilos from llllcliey ereek about H
half mlln from Its mouth, from Roar
ing and Ilrarllny creek right where
they empty Into the Mr Kenzle river.
Now those streams, like must all
mountain streams, have their rock
bed and a great ileal of vegetation to
run over before they g"t to their des
tinations, so the water gathers more
or less rubbish near Its mouth while
nearer Its source the water carries
Tery Utile. Again, the first samples
I sent were selected on the morning
of the 3d day of September and ex
nrosseil to their destination tho fol
lowing day at noon. Now you can
Imagine what takes place In water
not packed In Ice, as the enclosed re
nort will show, by the time It gets
Into the chemist's hands.
To give you an Idea or the multi
plication of bacteria, note the differ
ence between the water examined In
Washington and that, examined at
Corviiilis. The sample selected and
sent to Corvallls was kept at Its orig
inal temperature and was In the bac-terlologb-iil
hands In twenty-four
hours, Kverv st renin has more or
less birclerla lii It, anil you will not
find nny wlib any I-hh than -lit per
cc. Hut small streams can be cleans
ed of their rubbish and also be pro
vlrlrd wllh settling reservoirs mid sys
tems of iiei-r-rilatirin tri provide pure
water where yon have nothing hut
vegetable matter to contend with.
I say let us make a dash now for
water In the Cascade range, and If It
in neressary tri stop ami take a drink
In inichev or Koarlng creeks. I
