DALLES CHERRY CROP ' MAKES MARASCHINOS to forest'ill a financial crash In Germany. . - ' " i The cabinet session began after the arrival of Relchhank President Hans Luther by airplane froi.i Paris. President Luther came home without having obtained French assistance for a Gorman loan and with no hope of obtain ing it without what were consid ered "impoMbl'i" political con cessions. - . Among tho moves considered tonight by tl'.e cabinet was the appointment of a special "com missar of devlsen" (foreign ex change) with authority to seize foreign currencies and other media of payment, including precious metals, in "tho interest of national safety." Tho advisability of aban doning the gold standard and of placing all Germnn exports under Great grand-daughter of the first white couple to marry in tho Rogue river valley is tho title claimed by Jan Freeman, im pound baby girl, born to Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Freeman of Central Point at Purucker's ninlerntty hnmn Th 1 1 t-uilu V.

After the girls were well vWsed in tho art of building fires and planning menus in "pioneer style'' they are allowed to plan- and ar range a big chicken barbecue for the whole camp. Mrs. Pafdee, tho good-natured manager of the culinary department, hatf prom ised to supply tho rest of tlie "fix ings" for the barbecue.so It should be n success.

HI-WAY INN GOLD HILL Now Under New Management OH I 0 K , E N DINNERS Served Every 8UNDAY or any tlrhe by appointment PRIVATE DINING ROOM FOR PARTIES Phone 11-L-2 (or Reservations 1 - Special 50c ACTS! ERE ARE THE F Why Medford Must Have Improved Sewage Disposal Facilities 0 SI The Present System Is Inadequate Motlford's sewer system has been under piece-meal con struction and improvement for the paBt 40 years, and has not been built in accordance with a well-defined plan. Consequently, there are now five separate septic tanks, none of which is modern, which are expected to care for the sewage of a city of over 11,000 people, although they were constructed to accommodate only a population of 5,000. ,' "r Tho main trunk line sower of the city has been in uso for the past 2t years, and is now filled to capacity with sanitary sowagc, leaving no margin for tho handling of flood conditions, and the city storm sewer facilities for only 18 per cent of tho city's drainage area. Honco, when the present lines are called upon to handle flood' Waters, they are overloaded and unable to carry oft the surplus water. - ' The five septic tanks' are dumping their raw sewage Into the Bear Creek channel, ono of them at tho extreme souther end of the city, and Hear Creek carries this sew age through the heart of Medford. ' Over 1,700,000 gallons of sewage flow through Hie mam septic tank each 24 hours, an average of 150 gallons per day per person. This average is much greater than the average for cities of. this size, and. la, true on account of the unrestricted use of city water. 1 , . Can you expect a plant so obsolete and Inadequate aa this one to serve a city the size of Medford? Sanitary Conditions Are Deplorable State health officials say that Jledford has tho worst aowago conditions of any city In the state. The dumping of raw sewage Into Hear Creek, from whence It flows through the valley and into the Roguo River, Is unhcalth ful in the extreme, and numerous opidemlrs are directly treaceahle to this sourc, according to city and county henltli officers. . Conditions In Hoar Creek, north of tho city, can only be appreciated by making a personal Inspection of tho area. The creek bed Is full of fungus growth, putrid mosses, and vermin, duo almost entirely to the refuse from tho city. The water is discolored and sluggish, and tho stench almost unbearable. Pcoplo live In those regions, nnd their health and well-being should not be menaced by the neglect of the citizens of this city. v Perhaps unknown to their parents, many children of this city use tho banks of Hear Creek as a playground; In fact, the city's only Improved playground la located on tho banks of this stream, which Is polluted with discharge from a septic tank. The entire stream Is truly a cesspool, with the potentiality of carrying germs and disease wher- ever It flows. i i - 'Cn Medford tolerate,1 for one additional minute, this menace to the health of tho people? Disposal Plant and Trunk Sewer Are Both Necessary The present trunk sewer from tho Intersection of Kaal Jaiksort street and Riverside avenue, north ulong River side, Is already running to capacity with santary sewage only. There Is no provision for storm wator, nnd tho run off from the streets of an men of 1570 acres must pass through this line. It being unnblo to cany tho storm water during tho rainy season, tho water flows from tho tops of tlin manholes along Rlversldo avcniio, distributing filth nnd debris along the street. ' Tho present sewago from tho east side Is diverted Into the Riverside sower lino at tho intersection of Jackson and Hlvcrddo, after crossing Hear Creek at tho Jackson street bridge. During storm weather. It Is necessnry to dump tho rnw sewage Into Hear Creek, as the RIvcrHldo lino Is already overflowing. A new trunk sewer la not only for tho use of the cast side, but also to relievo the Rlversldo lino anrprovido a means of draining the extreme southern part of tho city, which at present uses n separate septic tank, emptying directly into Hear Creek. There can bo no question In tho minds of thinking people as to tho necessity for Improvements In the dls-: posnl plant, and the additional sewer lines recommended; by tho council are Just as Important a part of the sanitary ayatcm as is tho disposal plant Itself. Operation of the Present Plant Is Uneconomical In Order to partially purify tho sewngo flowing from the main septic tnnk, north of tho city, It has been neces sary to Install a chlorlnator, which Is costing, at tho pres ent time, approximately $1100.00 per month to opernto. It baa been necesiary to cleun out tho septic tank once this summer already, and tho process must bo ropcuted later, ut a cost of $2,100 for each cleaning. Additional land for sludge beds must be purchased, and tho prosont proporty is already completely covered with residue. An operation coat of approximately JIO.OOO.OO per year will ho Incurred In tho prosent septic tank, n large portion of which will ho saved by the methods which will be em ployed In tho now disposal plant. Undor the now plant, It will bo nccoimnry to chlorinate only approximately 2 per cent of the flow, and provisions will bo mndo for sludge (llHpnsnl. Tho present operation cust will go a long way toward takin caro of Interest on tho new bond Isbuo. With tho present Bowers nnd septic tnnk, constant re pairs are necessary, an tho sewer lines aro old and Ineffi cient, as is tho disposal plant.
