It U one tint lui confronted the town council, er kince the ucororation of the town, and it in one that will von tlnue to I uppoiinoft in their minds until there it tome system adopted that Is ssf and sanitary. The sewerage question wb'eb in always an inixtrtnt one, relating as It docs to the health of every community, in coming mure and wore to be solved by means of the reptio lank in small ciliM and towns, it is raid . Much has ben aid about this subject and the ex periment wiiich hsvo been mad have provul its practicability ac cording to health authorities M a rf-ct sanitary method of dim poking of sewage. The seplio tank has been used in Oregon for several peare both on piivate and puhho f ropertics. One was hiatal!! at tie Oregon Blind Schaol at Salem in 11KK1 and two are in ue at the :State Insane Asylum at Salem. Wherever used they are giving excellent satisfaction and will proiubly come into comno lire throughout the state within the next lew years. At the req4t of the Oregon .State Board of Health, Dr. K. A. Fierce of Suleoa wrote a treatise on septic tanks whioh gives s me val uable data upon this subject. In describing the process, he say: "In the septic Ur.k system the sewerage is pitsaol tdowly through the tank, o.it of contact with light and air, allowing time for the or aiiio matter to be broken , by vegetable organUni. All the re sults of the proof are harmlesi to animal lite and free f otn odors.' Cement, it is said, is the bent materia louse in the construction of the tank. "A pit of the required tiizeshould Ik dug allowing about four cubic feet to each person, plus ithe thickness of the walU of the ttank. A wooden frame eoresp nd int lo the aiie of the tank should then lw set in the excavation after the bottom bus been prepared and the cement p aired around the out J. This Week's Store News.

If the tank is for a small numier of prons I would suggest that a psrtitlon extend acroa tht nside of the bottom of the tank, 22 nohes high and four inches thick. The wooden frame should be re moved as soon. , as the cement is hard enough to permit. The top may be covered with an arched roof of cement with a manhole, or with planking, and if the tank is of suflicient sizo it may have simp ly a shingle roof If the tank is large, say .'50 fe-t long, I weuld suggest that a balllo board be plac ed eight feet from the inlet, extending down crosswise to within two feet of (he bottom Eighteen feet from the inlet I would recomend placing a weir or solid partition of cement, extend- from the bottom of the tank to within 18 inches of the surface, and I would havA another bailU board like the Turner six f"et from the outlet. The pipe leading to the tank should bo at least four incheB in diameter, with an el bo and pipe extending 18 inches be low the surface of the suum. The outlet should be three or four inches in diameter, with an elbo extedding 18 inches below the surface. One or more intakes ana outlets should be used, according to the size of the tank. They bhould bo on an exact level. The pipe leading to the tiink should have just enough full to convey the He wage, avoiding m much as possible the disturbance of the tank.

One policyholder in- the Sew York Life has written- a letter to the trustees in that company ask ing them to force the retirement of Hrexideot McCall and Vice Pr si dent PerkliiH.' In thi addrecs to the trustees aopears the following interesting eUtementt "Since-Mr. :McCall regards theoompany's gifts to the republican national com- mittee of trust fuivis as pioua acts of his, it may le pertinent l in- spire whether, as a result to tuose act) and his thanks-to God he re eeiyed a divine inpiration to- mis lead and deceive the goveimer of Texas aout the contribution made to the republican, committee in IHOti, andto attempt to- thow the governor off the traok by affidavits from three of the- company's ofli cers denying euch.a contribution. And it may also-be pertinent to. inquire of Mr.' MicCall whether ha- has yet tent up his devout thanks for having taken. $245)00 of the policy .holders money, money. without their knowledge or yours. and turned them over to. ooe Andrew Hamilton,, without, go fur as has been shown, receiving any- -thing therefor, and . for his wing unable . or unwilling ' to tell the purpose fo whioh this $24.50CKof trust money has been used. It re quires no , argument to make it clear to. the dullest mind that, af er haviog done these things and more, Mr, McCall is not entitled to draw 1100,000 a year for raU managing and misrepresenting the affairs of the company, and that he must go. As you are aware, I have requested the attorney gen eral to institute proceedings to remove Piesideut McCall and Vice President Perkins from their re spective offices. If he does bo, it will necessarily take time to obtain a decision, and meau while the business of the New York Life must suffer, unles-i you or public opinion can induce the officers to resign no. That both must re sign is inevitable, and the toner atibbing miller. One day laxt week wh enrnute te Portland the Skipper on ill Imlda, C.
