Again tests were made for the col on bacillus which was demonstrated in the raw water to be present in qnanteitis of 1-1U cc. or over. No. Ii. coli was found in miantitics of the tillered water from any one of the filters in 1 ec. or less. Upon cliemi- I examination on trace ot aluminum ilts unprceipitatcd was found in the filtered water. There was no turbid ity discernible in the filtered efflu cut. It will be seen that this last test is very satisfactory and showed that the neople of Albanv were re ceiving a most satisfactory quality of ater. All methods used were those laid own by the rules of the American iihlic Health Association tor sam- irv water examinations (metnous ot 1912). These tests show that the water of the Santiam may be filtered by the mechanical process in perfect safety lthough previous examinations ot heniiclanture, the reports of which ire on litu at the Aloany otnee ot the Oregon Power company, give a very low alkalinity at certain sea sons of the year. This point should he watched most carefully in order that no aluminum salts be found ever in the effluent during flood months of the year when the alkalinity may be expected to drop. bhould there be any points m ttiese tests which you care to have ex plained, 1 should be most pleased to endeavor to make them clear. 1 remain, Very truly vours, T.

BALTON, AN EXPERT MILLINER, ACCEPTS POSITION Mrs. Rultnn, an expert in the art ot millinery trmiinnitf, is in Albany to take un her work in the muhncrv epartment ot the Chambers & Ale- Cune store. Mrs. liolton comes to Albanv high ly recommended as a trimmer, hav ing held responsible positions in sonic f the largest stores on the l'acihc coast. Miss llibbs. bv far the most capa ble trimmer and designer ever in Al bany, will again manage this popular department or Chambers- Cm Ale Cune's store. Mr. McCunc reports last season as the best they have ever had in the millinery department, the sales almost doubling that of any other season. Next week other experienced mil liners will arrive from Portland to help take care of the increased business. Chnmhers & McCune have not only doubled their work force but have in creased the millinery stock and will continue as exclusive agents for Gage Hats and Cage millinery. As Ray Palmer, commissary, and II. D. Mathies, baker, with gang Xo. at the Burkhart gravel pit were coming to town on a speeder last evening they were overtaken by the Albany Limited at the curve about a mile and a halt trom the city and Palmer was run over and killed. Mathcis escaped just in time. 1 hey took the speeder and left for town almost at the time the limited was due here and entirely contrary to I the orders regarding the use of speeders. They had just turned the curve and were unable to hear or see the limited, neither could the motorman on the limited sec them till he was within some fifty yards when every thing possible was done to stop but it was too late. When the men on the speeder real ized that the limited was on them, Matheis coolly got up and jumped, but Palmer sat paralyzed with fright and was crushed under the train, nearly every bone in his body being broken. He is very highly spoken of and many friends in Portland where he has made his home at the Y. M. C. A. for some time before going to work for the Oregon Electric. He leaves a brother who resides in Port land, being in the employ of Lip man Wolfe & Co., and a father whose residence has not yet been ascertained. Read Discourse On Text; Then Sent Word Where He Could Regain His Property. Philadelphia, Aug. 27. The Rev. Dr. Hugh C. Mcilride of the Disston Memorial Presbyterian church of Ta cony was robbed of a siut case two weeks ago in a local department store while he was on his way to Atlantic City. He made no report of the loss until today, when he appeared at the detective bureau with a leter signed "A Heart Broken Young Woman" which reads: "I read your beautiful sermon and was overcome with remorse. People have often told me that I had a good Christian mother, but that my father was a worthless man. "I never had a chance to learn the difference between right and wrong, but when I read your sermon on the text: 'O Lord, please show me the right from wrong' I decided I did wrong in taking your suit case. "Your Atlantic City address was in the suit case, but when I took the bag to the express office they would not send it unless I prepaid the charges of $1. I did not have the money, so I took two of your razors and pawn ed them for 50 cents and with the money paid the storage on the suit case at Ragen's Storage House, 1902 South College avenue. I am searching for work and when I get enough money I will get your case and send it to you. If you for give me, please insert an advertise ment in tlie newspapers.' Detective O'Brien recovered the siut case. Dr. McBride said his ser mon had not made any profound im pression on the congregation. He would like to know the identity of the young woman so that he could get her a position. o ' MISFITS, Contributed by F. P. Nutting.

Roosevelt had a try for the people: he simple had his brass band play and the trusts thrived and grew.
