CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS Work is proKrcssinfi lit
this site a few miles west of Talent where a water treat
ment plant for the city's new water system is being con
structed. 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,
