Mr. Whitney, the county agricultural agent, had Interested him self fn the sale, as a fine opportunity for breeders, and was present. But those who attended seemed to take so little Interest and so little Inclined to buy that the Messrs. Abies called the sale off. CONSTRUCTING DAM TO SOLVE SEWAGE PROBLEM A force of half dozen men urwK-r thi direction of Marshal, Donaldson anl L. J. Iepley, are constructing a dam across the outlet of the mltlmce, at tire point wrere its channel turns south, so as to turn (he water north ward through the slough that rnns be tween the permanent bank and the big bar, around the bend of tbe river. Tbe object Is to send suck a volume of water through the slough as will prevent the accumulation of sewage at tbe outlet of the s;wcr and along tbe slough between that point and Its Junction with the river. John Nice lalnly complained to the council of such an accumulation since the water ceased to flow through the channel cf the slough - An examination of the re gion about the outlet of tl.e sewer arH below shows th "existence of condi tions not only disagreeable but dan i rous to residents in that vfcinJty. The dam is of concrete, and Is some CO or 70 feet long. It bi expected to raise the water to the height of alotit three feet. It Is thought that tils will carry a sufficient volunw u water through the slough to prevent a recti, rence of the trouble. The cban nH of the slough Is very slight in places. It Is probable that, on trial some artificial clearing may be found necessary, and the diversion of water tt rough some side channel's, may nedd attention. The flume paralleling the rate froii the gate to tbe slough has been torn oit. and the lumber is being used In this work. A lam was built for the same pur rone Boon aftvr the sewer was con structed, but was carried out by flood water.

He will bring some first hand information to us which every person In Springfield should I ear. Come and bring your I Olends. THE MOUNTAIN RANGERS The party consisting of O. B. Kes ne.v, E. E. Morrison, Dan Crites and James Wlthrow returned from their outing in the mountains last Suuday levelling. They were gone about ten days, - They followed very nearly the schedule laid out before they started. They had to vary a little from tLeir route at one point Boon after they left the McKenzie bridge. They found the trails much better than they had ex pected: wide, clear and easy to fol low. They had no accidents and no unpleasant experiences. Mr. Kessey said that, to on brougl t up on the prairies of northwestern Iowa, it was an Impressive experience to travel for miles and miles through dense and almost untouched forests, where the sun could scarcely be seen for hours. Right up cm the high 1 ill i they f8w a profusion of wild flower among them rhododendrons and field lilies of different colors, in full bloom, and an abundance of wild strawber ries nearly everywhere. They en Joyed good health, and of course brought back good appetites. One thing that contributed to the success, pleasure bj'mI profit of the trip was that tt was carefully planund In every detail before they started. NOTES FROM THE AUTO CAMP GROUND The marshal reported eleven cars on the ground Trursday evening. Among those who Were on th ground Friday evening, we gleaned then? notes: One. party of six, with a tent, were traveling in two cars. The party waa made up as follows: a1 middle-aged couple with a daughter about 15, and a younger couple with a boy of 10 or 12. The older couple were from Keokuk. Iowa, the man a lawyer; tbe younger couple from Oklahoma. How tbey came to fall together we did not learn. They had come through New Mexico, Arizona and California. Tbey were going as far north as Seattle, then through Northern Idaho, Mon tana, Yellowstone Park and so on to tlelr homes. Tho limit of their tour was the opening of the schools at Keokuk, where th girl would be a pupil. ' A young man and his wife had come from Pennsylvania. They had ranged south as far as Florida; then northwesterly tbrougL Missouri, Kan sas, Nebraska and the Yellowstone Park; then zigzagged through Wyom ing and Colorado to Salt Lake City; back to Boise, Idaho, and so on thus far. We asked tbe young man If they were going back to Pennsylvania. He said, very positively, "Not by auto." He said be had proposed to his wife that after tbey got to Sail Francisco they sell the auto and buy steamer tickets by way of the Pan ama canal. Another couple with several child ren bad been making their home abont Salem for a year or two. They had closed out their Interests there, and were on their way to Central Oregon. Tbey were going up the McKenzio from here, go over the pass, and set Uo for the winter either near Meto It;:s, where they have a good, well equipped quarter section ranch, or about Redmond, where "her people live. Saturday evening, some of the same people were there and two new par ties. One of these parties consisted of two cars, which had been passing and repassing each other on the way. In one car was a young couple who bad come from Minneapolis, by way of Yellowstone Park, andwere going on to Southern California and back by a i .Southern route. In the other car ras 'i lone man from Seattle, also going tg j Southern California. - i The other party was a plain eldeiiy couple, who came late in the evening. They were from Los Angeles, and were going on to" Portland to. visit with some friends for a while, then on to Seattle, east through Montana, and back home by way of Denver. Tbey expected, to be on the road until some time in laid summer'. They had been through Yellowstone Park twice beore, jJW not care to turn id for It Sunday evening, two middle-aged couples come In: one. from Sacra mento, who had ranged as far rta Seattle, and were returning; the other, who had been living at Weed California, and were moving to Pen dleton. Two young women, driving an Ore gon car. and supposed by oth-r campers to be Oregon school teachers out for a summer Jaunt, camped on the ground Monday night. Among thosa on the ground Tues day night were these: A party, ap parently made up of two familleu, from about Medford. on a trip to coast points la northwestern' Oregon. A middle aged couple, from Chlco, California, traveling slowly, so as to see ail they could of the country oa the way; to Portland' and return. A couple, living In Portland, who had gone up the Columbia, through Bend to Crater Lake, and were thus far on their way back. The lady from Chka said they had been In the habit of going to the California coast to escape the heat of summer, but tried th's route instead this summer. She asked if it was always as cool as this lieie in summer.
