In the past, the city water supply has come en tirely from wells. But believing that source to be inade quate for future needs, the Talent city council proposed that a new system be built so that water could be taken nut of Wagner creek, purified in a treatment plant and dis tributed to users. The voters last year approved a bond issue to finance the $185,000 project, about $40,000 of which will be spent on the treatment plant.

Relative Of Siskiyou Family Builds Age Determining Device Yrcka - William Schell grandson of Mrs. G u s s i e Schell and nephew of Waller bchcll, both of llawkinsville, was the subject of a story in the July issue of the San Fran cisco News Call Bulletin. William Schell. who has of ten visited in Yrcka, and who now is a graduate research assistant in chemistry at the University of Washington in Seattle, has constructed a time machine" designed to determine the age of things through a system known as the Carbon-14 process. Uses Gun Barrel The machine, according to the story, includes a section of a 16-inch gun barrel from the scranned halllnhi lice Colorado, which serves as the housing for the age counter which is made up of house hold canning paraffin, a box of borax and 32S pounds of quicksilver in which a couple of lubes have been inserted. There is more to the proc ess, however, than just a gun barrel full of ingredients. Schcll's laboratory is an ar ray of beakers, glass tubes, wiring, burners and other equipment. SCHOOL COMPLETED Wilderville - The Wilder- villc Methodist church has completed the third year ol its Vacation Bible school. It was attended this year by 45 young persons. . xne age counting process is based on the simple theory that any material containing radioactive carbon - C14 -can be dated by merely count ing the radioactive rays it emits. And scientists are con vinced that plants, animals - even sea water - have been absorbing Carbon-14 on this earth for millions of years. compare Old With New Because they know the na ture of C-14, scientists can count its rate of radioactivity by comparing the C-14 in old material with that in new, and using a prccalculatcd scale, can determine the age of the old material. Schcll's machine is such a counter. PIPELINE FOR THE NEW SYSTEM Lengths of pipe are shown along Wagner Creek rd. near the Talent city limits as workmen last week were laying the main pipeline which will bring the city's water in from the treatment plant to users Starting from the plant site, workmen have been digging a ditch and laying the pipe, gradually working toward the city The ditch had not yet been extended to the part of Wagner Creek rd. shown above when this photo was taken, Entries Are Invited For Siskiyou County Fair Parade Slated Aug. 17 Yreka Entries are begin. ning to come in for the 1963 Siskiyou County Fair Parade to be held Saturday noon, August 17 in downtown Yrcka.
