Construction of Modern Dis
. posat Plants Now Possible
With Generous Aid " of
Federal Government
Tha city of Medford will oU on
construction of two new units to the
existing sewsga disposal plant, con
demned by tho atste board of health,
July 38, a apeclal election having been
ordered to aubmlt the matter to the
people. Application for federal tunas
for the project haa been forwarded
to the administrator of the national
Industrial recovery act. If approved
and sanctioned by the vote 01
people July 28th, funds will be
talned for the project.
AT.EM. Ore.. July 30. (UP) V
lution of one of Oregon's greatest
problems, sewsge disposal, may hinge
on the election July 31.
On that date many Oregon cltlea
and towns will vote on construction
of modern sewage plants, provided
funds can be obtained from the reae
ral government. Most of the cities
are located on the Willamette, mm
mlluted of Oregon rivers, but a nunv
. bar of municipality In other parte
of the state will also consider modern
systems.
The general plan to be followed Is
thst cities, If authorised by the voters,
will apply for a direct federal grant
of 30 per cent of the cost. For the
remslnder self-liquidating bonds, not
of a general obligation character, win
be issued. The bonds will be pledged
with the reconstruction finance cor
poration and retired from charges
added to water ratea.
Pollution of the Willamette river
atarta at Cottage Drove, more than
160 mllea upstream from Portiana.
Sewage la emptied Into the stream at
Eugene, Albany, Corvallls, Balem, Ore
gon City and nearly too smaller towns
with the result that by the time the
Portland contribution Is poured in
the water of the river la seriously
eobtamlnated.
Game flab are unable to remain for
long In the lower reaches of the WH
lamette, the water Is unfit for use
unless It receives heavy chemical
treatment, and la generally considered
unsafe for swimming In midsummer.
Sewsge disposal plants cost about
7.50 per capita for the population to
be served. Treatment at disposal
plant decomposes organic matter by
bacteria action, destroys all disease
germs. Water remaining Is clear and
rot harmful to aquatlo or human
life.
Following the election representa
tives ot the cltlea voting for sewsge
plants, will gather at Salem to dla
cusa applications to the federal gov
ernment. Problems of some towns are
complicated by several main sewers
emptying Into the river. In those
pieces It will be necessary that all
main lines be united. ,

To tha Editor:
That peace time eiplolU cannot be
urpaued by the mooted heroisms of
warfare waa concretely demonstrated
here a few nlghta ago, when Mrs. R.
A. B'xtoj, eighty. two year old pi
oneer, attacked and captured single
handed a live skunk and one of the
largest specimens ever seen In this
community. Mrs. Blxby, who re
sides a mile south of Jacksonville
and lives mostly alone, waa awaken
ed shortly after midnight by curious
noises emenatlng from the basement.
In va ligation with the aid of a flash
light, isvealed the nocturnal mau
rader aasldlously helping himself to
a nest of setting eggs, and from
which 'the excited mother hen had
been summarily ousted.
Clad In bed-room slippers, the 83-year-old
matron warily moved for
ward, and with a well directed thrust
grasped the Intruder's bimhy tall
tightly and lifted him clear In the
air. Mechanically, It Is believed the
horizontal position of the tall oper
ates on the principle of & shifting
lever, fcnd with tha feet removed
from the ground, dlsengagea the
clutoh of the skunk's atomizer,
throwing the mac nan Ism completely
out of efficient working gear.

of benefit to the state as a whole."
