IMI P ORIFTION KATES- Ose Tir Mx MonUn Three Monthi n.00 .I.M .X The Times-Herald hopes the proposition of water works and sewerage will command the at tention of the property owners of Bums and that immediate steps be taken toward the new charter with provision for bonding for such purpose. The report of Engineers Cooper & Dodge is now before them and is compre hensive with a great deal of cor respondence that will bear out their estimates as well as show what systems have proven most satisfactory. Let's get busy. The Blue ML Eagle insists it is not knocking Harney county but merely stating facts not only of this section but all over East ern and Central Oregon when it refers to the big land holdings. We admit the big land men and that they have the best watered area throughout the territory, but not all the most desirable land by any means. These hold ings will have to be cut up and the men who hold them are not averse to have them so disposed of. With the coming of trans portation will come greater de velopment, irrigation projects that will properly distribute the water, thus covering a much larger area. Two peddlers were arrested at Burns for having beaver hides in their possession. They demurred to the complaint and were dis charged on the ground that thelaw did not say anything about hides, but made it unlawful for a per son to have beaver in their poss ession. The purpose of the law is not to incite quibbling by law yers and drivelings by courts, but prevent the destruction of beaver. With the course of rea soning pursued, even though a man was caught red handed skin ning a beaver he could not be found guilty because that law does not say any thing about dead beaver. If a trapper caught a beaver that had an eye and a game warden caught the trapper there would be nothing stirring because the law does not say any thing about having one eyed beaver in possession, or again a man could set up the defense of sick beaver and as the law does not say anything about sick bea ver there would be no crime com mitted. And by analogy if the law made it a crime to have the hide in possession all a trapper would have to do would be to tuck the whole carcass under his arm and he could not be convict ed because the law did not have anything to say about beavers with the hides on. No wonder it takes three years to get through a law school. Blue Mt. Eagle. was accompanied on the trip by Lee Finch and states they had some trouble with deep snow over the mountain but aside from that the auto skipped right along. Dr. Marsden returned from the scene Monday evening and brought the first authentic re port of the shooting. Taylor and Perry had been working together sinking artesian wells for Mr. Carlson. Mr. Taylor is an ex perienced man at the business and it seems Perry had been sug gesting that the methods be changed or a well sunk at a dif ferent place, at any rate the shooting was in the evening after they had quit work. Taylor coming into the room remarking that he did not approve of men without experience giving him instructions. Perry at once took it up and Lou Bosenburg, who is cooking at the ranch, entered into the conversation saying that Perry had not been giving Tay a square deal. Perry became very angry and told them he could whip a house full of Bosen bergs and Taylors. He kept up his abuse and followed Bosen berg around to the kitchen, la ter returning and taking up the quarrel with Taylor who was on a bed in a corner of the room. Perry kept advancing toward Taylor who warned him to keep away or he would hurt him, but as he countinued advancing in a threathening manner Taylor shot him with a 45-caliber revolver, the bullet passing through him and entered Robt. Settlemyre who was sitting on the other side of the fire place. Perry lived for eleven hours after he was shot He was a powerful man about twenty-five years old and had the reputation of being a fighter. Taylor is a man sixty years old. As stated in our last issue, Mr. Settlemyre was an innocent party stopping there for the night, having a blooded horse which he hoped to dispose of. Dr. Mars den found Mr. Settlemyre in a bad condition and held out but little hopes for his recovery. He was buried there. Deceased had relatives in Kansas. Taylot has not yet had a pre liminary hearing as Justice O'Connor was called to Winne muccaas a witness in another murder case that had occurred just over the line in Nevada. The Andrews shooting was wit nessed by Mr. Carlson and Geo. Sebring, Bosenberg being in the house but not an eye witness. These will be brought to Burns perhaps next week when a hear will be had. WOULD HELP ALL AROUND. SECOND VICTIM DIES. Robt. Settlemyre died at the Carlson ranch, near Andrews, last Tuesday morning from the bullet fired by Jack Taylor on Thursday of last week which killed Alfred II. Perry. Sheriff Richarsdson left here on Tuesday morning to bring Taylor here, the latter having zone to Denio after the shooting and submitted to arrest, later returning to the Carlson ranch in.company with Justice O'Con nor and V. Defenbaugh, the con stable. Later the prisoner was turned over to Deputy Sheriff Mooro who held him until the ar rival of the sheriff. Mr. Rich ardson arrived home with the prisoner yesterday evening. He It would be a great thing if Portland business men could reach by letter their customers in the Harney Valley and along the route from Bend to Burns within twenty-four hours. This will come with the completion of the cross-state railway. It may come before then. An effort is now in progress to establish a daily mail service between Bend and Burns and the ambition at each terminus and along the route is to make it an auto ser vice. The importance of the plan rests not altogether in the immediate advantages that would accrue to present settlers and distributors of merchandise. A daily mail service would be a strong incentive toward rapid settlement along this 150 miles of almost undeveloped country. Its ultimate result would be in creased business, greater produc tion and these in turn would hasten railroad building. Any influence that Portland and its commercial bodies can give to bring about this mail service would be well worth their while.

The lienor-1 river is slight, we have provided I for a pumping plant to raise tne sewage from the dosing tank to a level with the filters, a lift of six to ten feet, with a view of plac ing filters out of reach of high water. An inundation occasion ally will not damage the filters, but a flood of considerable dura tion would tend to clog the beds, and to destroy the bacteria. Another reason for raising the sewage is to avoid a submerged outlet" In closing the report the engi neers state they have a great deal of correspondence of file which covers almost every item in the report and that this corre spondence is open to inspection by the city authorities at any time.

The report recommends the septic tank system in preference to the broad irrigation, these be ing the only practical manner of disposal of sewage, as Sil vies River, the only other method of disposal by dilution could not be used for such purpose. The description of the septic tank system is interesting and The Times-Herald would like to devote sufficient space to give it in full, but lack of space prevents The estimate is made covering a tank 75 feet long, 30 feet wide and 5 feet deep, built of concrete with concrete partition dividing into two compartments, one for septic tank and one for dosing chamber, the entire plant includ ing filter beds to cover an area of not more than one and one-half acres and the cost is estimated at $35,-173.S7. In describing the septic tank and Alteration process the report says in part: "Under this method the sew age collected in a tank holding from four to twelve hours flow of sewage. This tank is in con tinuous operation, sewage being admitted at one end and dis charged over a weir at the other. The effluent from the septic tank is collected in a dosing tank, in practically liquid form. The dosing tank is provided with a siphon or pump for flushing rap idly onto a filter bed of crushed rock or gravel and sand, and from the filters the purified sew age discharges through a simple system of sub-drains. "This arrangement permits of an accellerated, natural process of purification by the action of bacteria. Under proper condi tions these agents act as certain ly as milk sours, or vinegar works, or wine ferments.
