SEPTIC SEWAGE TANKS Something of Theory of the Pro cess end Its Construction. Hinoe the publication cf the success ful iiiHtallation of the soptlo si'wage tanks at tho Chew mm Indian Hthonl, tho Asylum Earni at Balem, and at other places, many Inquiries uro daily being uiado from districts suburban lo Portland unl from country sections Where there are no seweiage facilities, asking iiicstious concerning (he con struction of Ihu tanks ami tin. install ation of tho service. Tho system is being adopted at (he Mount labor Sanitarium, and Dr. V. T. Williamson, of that intsitutl lias explained, for tho benefit of those desiring to know something of the theory of tho process and tho con Mtructinii of the septic tank. A sejitio tank is, freely translated, a caso of bug cat bug. It is iij old as tho cesspool of the fariuhous", anil, according lo medical nulhnrities, yet lu its infancy, not being understood but by a few people who bavo taken timo to Investigate the subject. There are two bugs mixed up in the eternal ruifllct of nature to purify conditions, but fur thcto to do the b.'st. peculiar conditions must be ob served. It is the province of the sepllo tank to provide these eonili tlous. In tho first place, the whole success of tiie process tb peiiil upon lack of current. The contents of the tank must lie ns nearly absolutely quiescent ns is possible. In the set", mid place, the tank must have a cer tain sjs'cilled size, proportionate to thu size of the building to be served. In order to do away with as much of tho disturbing current as may be, it is necessary in producing tlio In s! rosiilts to place the joint of deposit fur the sewage as nearly on a level as possi ble with tho pls- of ingress at the tank. This is dune to cause a slow feed into the tank. Again, the pipe of ingress must be bent downward from the surface, the point being about half way from the surface of the cunleiits to the bottom of the tank, being so anauged ns to create the leat distort ancc in the thud ma by the Inlluv from the pipe. The pipe of egress is i unstiuctcil like (be other, being bent downward, the whole scheme of construction' being lo allow the llrst lluid emit, d into the tauk to eseav llrst, w ilh as little disturbance as possible; t, j more complete the stagnation, the more successful the pioecss.

Everyone is invited lo come and tiring a basket. There will bo services at 11 and 3 o'clock the fol lowing day. Services will be conducted by Rot. E. Badger of Pro volt. There are bops on the vine as big as marbles at the present time. There was a bunch of them brought to our burg Saturday from the Loesch yard, on the Bousou farm to show. They are much earlier than last season, for some reason, although the weather is very iioor for hops. Ii. W. Boilers' hopy .rd at Williams looks quite puny this season, for some reason. I don't think it was on ac count of bad management on the owners' part, but the men were not uxierieneed lu that business. There Is a great many that didn't como out euough lo train. 13. W. Baldwin's yard, to my kuowledge is not as good as last season, but the Estes yard on Applcgate is better than last year. Murrled Frank McGothiu aud Miss Addie Thurston. The bride is a native of Oregon and resides at Hum bug. Tho groom is a farmer in t Aptdcgate district This happy couple were untied in marriage June 2e, at Jacksonville. Their many mentis, on hearing of their return, gathered a crowd of about 00 ladies and gout lemon and save them a sur prise. After being treated they left tor homo, all happy. Wo bad quite a nice thunder shower at Provolt, but not quite euough, for tho g oand is so dry that it will re luire abundant ratu to do any good at all. 1 hero are niauv crona suffer, ing for the want of water, while it is time to do good, but two weeks from uow It will be too lato and the erops will Le blighted. The dry weather is what uiak s bard times for the grain is scarce and flour is high and also manes many other things high in pro portion. Homo of the farmers who havo wntor to irrigate with, growl because it makes so much bother, what if it does, supios they bad no water, then they would want what they didn't have. Without water, the soil of Applcgate or any other valljj in Southern Oregon won't sprout red eyed beans or grow them when swelled or sprouted with hot water. Then why do tlio jieople growl aboot liullter with water? There was the farm of J. lawman ; seven years ago it could bo bought for a song, for it was nothing but a hot rock bar in the summer. Sinoe it is covered will, water, it is worth money aud it would take good money to get it.

Voorhies, Lel&nd Sift.ngs, We read of cyclones in different states in nearly every paper. Here it is calm aud serene. The stage is rnnuingon the schedule time and is carrying plenty of passen gers and express ma'ter. Col. Blaisd. 11, of the Mac knare Flat placer mine, is having a large amount of packing doue to his mine. Some of the wood cutte a of Wolf creek are coming here to cot wood for T. J. Macken. T. J. is handling lots of wood. Bone of our people will take in the Pass oo the 4th, as there are always attractions in Grants Pass to entertain those that are seeking pleasure. Mr. Barton was op from Mt. Reo tx'U ; lio reiorts lively limes on that creel. Jlis company is running a force of men and are highly pleased with the prospects. Oor merchants are veiy busy boxing op freight for different mines. We well remember when Grants Pass oner had this trade. Now oor merchants sell goods as cheap as can be bought anywhere; that is encouraging for the settlers also the miners. We are receiving some miners from different states. From their actions they are experts, probably sent by rich mluing companies. In talking with them, they say the outlook for this country is good as the formation of the rock represents rich mines. We are having nice weather, but too dry as croja are needing rain, Last week we had rain enough to lay the dost. We think from the distaut thnnder south of ns, that Hugo had a good rain. Crops that are irrigated are good. The hay crop is above the average; most of the first crop is cut Our cold, healthy spring water is as good as can be found tiny w here, as a droinmer remarked that Leluud had as good water as he ever drank. The health of this vicinity is good, as we have no stagnant water to create fever. If farmers in the east knew of onr healthy climate, also of the possi bilities of building np good homes, we would have a greater immigra tion. The moit of our immigration this spring lias beeu of the laboring class. They are not the class to build op a country. Onr hotel is doing a big business; with the increase of business Mr. Philips contemplates building an ad dition to the hotel. People wondor why so many people stop here. The question can be answered easily. Our mines attract miuers from a distance as the mines that have been properly ojieiifld, have proved rich. Those miners who can read formations, like the quartx of this country. We have men here who profess to be quartz men, who do not know the difference between a piece of quartz and a piece of grindstone. Such people will go over the country aud dig holes here aud there and say: "O, there is uoth lug here," so will go away and give this place a bad name. Wide Awake. Wilderville Items. The sawmills are taking a few days rest. Mrs. Taggart is visiting her folks at Grants Pass. The assessor made his usual trip through these parts aud found every body busy. Will Brown is suffering with au abeess on the side of his head, which is very Jminfol. Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Robinsou and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Robinson have gouo to the St. Louis fair. Mrs. George Creed went to Grants Pass with Mr. J. H. Williams ou the automobile a few days ago. James M. Hocking has gone to Klamath rolls to visit his brother, and work awhile if there is work in that part of old Oregou. Uncle Cart, after running around year, has decided to come back to Wilderville, aud was seen shaking hands with old friends again. J. W. McColluiu received the sad uews of the death of his father, who was about ttf yearj old, who had gone with another son to Califoruia to spend a year. Ho had been there about six months. George Yotikers' team came in con tact with hornets on tho picnic ground on Slute creek the 4th of July, and they got so lest less that they knocked George down and crippled him up considerable, but no bones broken. The glorious Fourth of July has ouio aud grue. The picnic on Slate crcos. was well attended; singing and ieakiug in the forenoon. There was some disappointment felt in not having their speaker, (hey expected in the afternoon and also the failure to have the magic lantern show at night. The fire works aud balloon ascension were pretty good. Of cocrse we had a bountiful dinner, ns the women of Wilderville know how to get up a good dinnir ou sioh occa sions.
