Parker will probably be tlio choice,
tlionKli oppow (1 by Hryaii and his fol
lowing. There set nut to bo no possi
ble cliancu for Hearst, (iorman or any
of tlio others who liavu been mention
cd in connection with the nomination
and tho cundiihito will bo cither I'ar-
ker or a "dark home."
The report of tho casualties of the
Koorlh is "something fierce," some
2000 people being killed, ninlnied or
crippled. Homo worn drowned and
sum" killed or injured in runaway
acriih 'ills, hut by far tho (treater por
tion i f the maimed are vietimn of tho
li f K explosives which are placed an
playthings in the bunds of children
and other indiscreet person. Eire.
rrackcrM and bombs grow inoro dcally
each succeeding year. It in certain
that the iudiw rlniinato nan of the
mora daiiKerou explosives will have
to be prohibited by law. Many liven
would ho saved if this were done
promptly.
It in tiluu for soino of tin pcorl of
Hotithern Oregon to stop ruiiii Ihk
down their own eounlry. A jierKon
who goes from Grunts I 'ass to the

tho count slid located in a (rue contact
vein. Hut there is no donht that the

of our residents turns many visitors
away with tlio idea that there is noth

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.

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

what uiak s bard times for the grain

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

swelled or sprouted with hot water.
Then why do tlio jieople growl aboot

We read of cyclones in different
states in nearly every paper. Here it
is calm aud serene.
The stage is rnnuingon the schedule

gers and express ma'ter.
Col. Blaisd. 11, of the Mac knare Flat

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.
