HAS THE CIRCULATION- PRINTS THE NEWS REACH. THE PEOPLE THE EXAMINER IS THE- OFFICIAL PAPER OF lXE COUNTY if. VOL. XXXIII LAKEVIEW LAKE COUNTY, OREGON JULY 18, 1912. NO. 29 PLAT OF THE LAKEVIEW SEWERAGE SYSTEM Pursuant to the promts of the Ex aminer last week the following nap of Lakevlew showing the outllna of the proposed sewer system la printed. By careful study of thla map It will be Mlly aeen through which atroeta the main eewere will be built. Although It ta very Important to remember that the aeptlo tank and main eewere will be built lam enough to take care of tb entire town. And all that will be neoeaaary to build will be email linee to serve any other portion of the town aa It builde op. When the ayatem la constructed a connection for every bouse along the line from the main aewer to the property line will be ne eeaaary ao that property owners them elvea will have to build only from the property line to their house to connect with the system. The disposal works are located In the aoutbweat corner of the race track property which is about one quarter of a mile outside of the city limits. Included in tne following plana la largo concrete aewer to take the plaoe of the old wooden flume on Canyon atreet which would have to be built next year at a coat of from S3000 to IGOOO. The Coat The estimated ooat of the entire system Including the aewer to rv place the wooden flume will not exceed $75, 000. Tola will be paid for by bonds Isau- i d by the town, as the work progresses and the money needed. When completed If tb work coate less than t76,000, bonds will be issued only for the exact cost of the ayatem, and onder no circumstances can more than 175,000 be issued. The bonds will not be du ontil twenty years after the date they are lasued. Tbey will bear aix per cent Interest ao that for the next twenty years only the Interest on the bonds will have to be paid. This Interest eannot exceed 14,500 per year. Tbe Interest will be raised by taxation and at the present valuation (of tbe property of tbe town It will amount to about S4.50 per year per $1000 of as sessed property. As the town grows and new buildings put op tb assessed valuation will naturally increase and tb tax rat decrease. There la on misapprehension in re gard to tbe proposed sewersge system that should b settled oner for all, and that la tb amount of water for tbe flushing. Tb amount of water needed in any aewerage aystem Is dependent entirely and aolely upon th grade of the aewer and tbe size of tb pip used. Tb six of tb pip is imoortant only in that it should be small enough to give depth to tbe flow of sewage. It abould be evident to anyone that a aewer can be built upon a grade steep enough that It will produo a velocity high enough to carry away anything that can get into it This is not a theory but a demonstrated fact, for instance, from experiments that have been car ried on for many years, with a sepe- rate sytm as proposed for Lakevlew, that if tbe grade of a six inch pip is as steep aa 10 feet in 1000 feet or an eight inch pip with a fall of aa much as seven feet per thousand, etc., that such a aewer will require no flushing. A boot 99 per cent of all sewage la water and tfiere will probably b a bigber per cent of water than in a res dental town like Lakevlew. Oet of about 40,000 feet of proposed sewer in town, only about 80,000 feet will he on a grade leas than that re quired for a self-cleaning velocity, and this will b at tbe extreme lower end and tbia portion will require a amall amount of flushing daring theory sea son. Tbia will require atout eight manholes to be filled six or seven time dunngtbe dry season and sud denly discharged. One manhole will bold about as mwb ss four ordinary bathtubs. A steady stream of water flowing in tbe aewer would be of litU or no benefit for flushing, but a quan tity most b discharged under tb bead' to be of any service. Lakevlew is fortunate in the fact that ber sewers ean be built upon slopes steep enough to prodoee self cleaning velocities which will require little or no flusbing. This explanation is made for tbe benefit of those who may have honestly thought that sewer age system would require such a quan tity of water for flusbng as to cripple ne present water service.

"On August 21, 22, and 23 the Cen tral Oregon Development league will meet at Lakeview and the people are preparing to entertain a large number ofvisl'ors, and there will no doubt be oioursion rates and ample time giver, to visit Lakeview and other towne." The Utah Construction company has just been given the contract for the construction of fifteen miles of the se cond track of the Southern Pacific from Truckee to Reno. This is the finishing part of the construction of second trk on the Harriman lines between Omaha and HHn Franoiscot LAKEVIEW IS REACHED PORTLAND PATHFINDING PARTY MAKES LONG TRIP Spying Out Route for Development League Visitors And to Make Permanent Road Across the State Upon receipt of a telegram advising that tbe Portland pathfinders party was enroute to Lakeview from the Ilanlev ranch at Steins Mountain, Tuesday an auto load of local business men in Mr. Thompson's machine went out to meet them and escort the boost ers into Lakeview. Those who went from here were : W. Lair Thompson, attorney (and who by the way has some ability for operating a Dorris car), V. L. Snelling, livestock agent ot the N.-C.-O. and 11 around booster Harry Bailey, of the firm of Bailey & Masslngill, Mayor rJ. E. Rinehart and Ralph E. Hooter, of the Examiner. It waa expeoted to meet the Port land bunch at Plush at twelve o'clock but they were delayed and were not met until the Lakeview machine bad continued 23 miles beyond Plush. About half way up the mountain on tbe other aide of Flagstatt lake two machines hearing C. .C Chapman, secretary of tbe Portland Commercial Club and Mrs. Chapman, Phil S. Bates, publisher of the Paclflo North west, C. L. Smitb.sgrloulturulist of the O. W. R. & N.Ry., L. T. Hardy ot the trarflk department of the North Bank road, Dr. U. C. Coe, president of tbe First National Bank, of Bend'and Jas. Sawhill, secretary of tbe Central Ore gon Development league were encoun tered on the road on the hill aide. The third machine containing the pathfinders party was a day behind tbe first delegation and will not reach Lakeview until this evening. This party is composed of C. K. Beck, manager Portland Auto Club Tour Book, K. Frang, road engineer and map maker for the oiub, H. R. Glenn, pilot and D. E. Clark livestock agent O.W.R. & N. A stop waa made at Plush where Mr. Chapman and v Mr. Smith delivered short addresses to the people at the Sullivan hotel. The party returned by way of Adel where a ahort stop waa made. That section is resplen dent with all the luxuries of natural wealth. Fruit, grain and bay crops give promise of a most bountiful yield. Tbe travellers feasted upon. Royal Ann and Blaok Republican cherries from the orchards of Mr. Wible and J. A. Morris. At Warner canyon several machines loaded witb Lakeview people were awaiting to give the visitors a royal welcome. Enroute trora Adel Mrs. Chapman was taaen suddenly ill and compelled one car, bringing Mr. and Mrs. Chapman, to corn in advance of the delegation. Upon their arrival the delegation waa taken care of by Hotell Lakeview and private residences.
