A NEW DRAINAGE
SYSTEHJR9R TOWN
Cheap and Sanitary Meth
od of Seweragro Disposal
Inaugurated in Lakevlew
One of the serious problems that
has confronted civilized nations for
many years has been that of a sewer
age system that would dispose of the
filth and sewage without being some
what a menace to the health ot the
populace.
Grout systems of drainage have been
intitallcd but acme where there must'be
an outlet and that outlet baa been a
great cause for contention as it caupea
by its germ laden condition an un
healthful community In which to live
and, as ia the cane of the Thames
river in England, the waters are so
poisoned that even the water life is
diseased. So serious has been the con
dition thut France and England nearly
a half a century ago investigated the
matter and set about trying to solve
the problem. Another pioble'n to be
sovled was that ot having a safe sew
age deposit for the home when it was
isolated Irom a sewerage system. The
cesspool wsh tried with more or less
siiccchr tut everyone knows that a cess
pool as commonly made ia only a tem
porary make shift and greatly unsani
tary. Perhaps England was the first
country to find a scientific remedy for
the ditliculty and France was a close
second. These peoplu found that un
der certain conditions nature had pro
vided a scavungor for the filth ot this
kind as well aa for the land and the
sea.
After some experimenting it was
found IhHt a tank could be built which
under certain conditions would propa
gate a peculiar kind of germ or mi
crobe and these little aniniuU aa scav
RrTcrl wn'ild so literally eradicate and
cleanse the tilth that by using filter
the water proceeding from the tank
would be from H5 to 95 per cent pure
and have no disagreeable odor at all.
In tact it is more nearlv pure than
much of the water thut is used for
drinking purposes.
For some lime this matter was rather
a secret, and both in England and
trance the septic tank business be
came quite un inaustry. So much was
this septic tank used that in these
countries, towns of 20,000 people use
this 6ystcm of sewerage with great
success.
Later the secret became known and
tbe method of building the tanks was
cheapened until it is not at all uncom
muu in those countries' to have the
household septic tank which ia not
connected with any great system.
Many books and scientiflo papers
were written on the subject and now
the matter is bo widely known that
many localities In the United States
are using the tanks.

SCHOOLS ARE NOW OPEN
TWO HUNDRED-EIGHTY PUPILS
ENROLL THE FIRST DAY
Beginning of Best Schjol Year in History of
LakeviewBuilding and Corps of Teachers
Make Educational Facilities Unexcelled
Two hundred and eighty school child
ren responded to the ring of the bell
last Monday morning that sounded the
opening of the 1912-13 s.:hool year. The
fore Dart of the week kept the in
structors busy in outlining different
courses for the term and getting every
thing In shape lor the best school year
ever in I.akeview. The new iligb
School building with all ita modern con
veniences tnd equipment and the pri
mary department on the public school
grounds with the competent corps of
teachera give assurance that Lake
view is beginnirg with educational
facilities that cannot be excelled in
any of the citiea many times its size.
The meratxrs of th school hoard,
Judge B. Daly, chairman; ably second
ed by Merchant Harry bailey and
Druggist A. L. Thornton, and Mrs.
Chas. Umnach clerk, are deserving of
unlimited credit for the accomplish
ments they have made in advancing
achool conditions In Lakeview. In the
employment of City Superintendent O.
M. Uraduer, of Forest Grove, Oregon,
they have secured one of the most able
instructors in the state. This is
vouched for by the record be has made
in this capacity in schools throughout
the state. And the manner in which be
has taken hold of the Lakeview High
School in furnishing the building and
getting down to real work in so short a
time shows that he is a Master Hand.

SEVERAL MUTTON
BUYERSJN FIELD
Sales Are Somewhat Slow
But Prospects Favorable
for Deals in Near Future
The sheep market is not very brisk
at present, althoueh aeveral sales have
tuken place of lambs and wethers. The
price ranges, at least so it ia reported,
from $2.75 for lambs to S3. 25 for two-
year-old wethers. Doubtless choice
lambs would bring better prices, as
would also fine matton. II. P. Carev.
buyer fr Miler & Lux, has made about
nil the purchases thus far, although
there are other buyers in the field. He
this week purchased W. J. Parman's
lambs, consisting of about 1700 head,
and also several hundred wethers. The
price has not been made public. Mr.
Carey this morning left for Reno and
will not return until the latter part of
next week.
It is likely that the market will liven
up shortly and that a number of sales
will be reported in the very near
future.

GRAIN IS GIVING
PROSPEROUS YIELD
One Field of Barley Gives
41 Bushels Per Acre on
West Side
Keports come from tbe West Side
that the threshing season ia under full
way and grain ia giving a good yield.
U. F. Arthur nad 40 acres of barley
that averaged 21 bushels per acre and
had one small field of wheat that went
31 bushels to the acre. This ia an ex
ceptionally good yield for wheat, and
is an indicator of what a profit can b
made on that product in this country
under anything like favoraole condi
tions and with a fair test, and proper
furminkf.
A ten acre p tch of Parley on the
George Neleon place threshed 41 bush
els to the acre. This for drv farming
Bhows the plowman that wealth lies in
soil that will produce 41 bushels ot
barley to the acre, and if only one half
this yield is ottained, figure the enor
mous returns to be gotten from 160
acres of carefully farmed land in the
Goose Lake Valley.
Thresher For Reservation
The tirst steam threshing outfit for
the Klumath Indian Reservation will
be In working order within a short
time, says the Klamath Northwestern'.
Indian Agent Watson gave out this
information yesterday. Hd stHted that
he had placed an order with the Gov
ernment for a steam threshing outnt
for the use of the Indians and that the
order had been honored. He expects
it o arrive within time for use for this
year's crop.
Several threshing machines have
been used on tbe reservation, hut all
have been out of date machines. Since
the Klamath Indians havo reached the
point where they are farming on lar
ger sualeB than in ioimtr years this
method of threshing their grain has
proved too alow and the latest model
threbhiiig machines and steam engines
have become r.ecessary.

from New York City to attend tbe

following: After bis annual visit to
Reno on tbe occasion of tbe meeting of
tbe board of directors of tbe Nevada-Caiitornia-Oregon
railway, A. D.
Moran returned from a trip rof inspec
tion over tbe road yesterday and de
clares himself well satisfied with the
condition of the property and the tribu
tary country.
Mr. Moran is treasurer of tbe com
pany, and with u. Lomyn Moran,
practically owns the property, and has
for a number of years. Up to two
years ago Moran brothers also owned
the Texaa Central, whicn has been sold
to the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Kail
way company. Mr. Morn, on his last
trip, was accompanied west by Colonel
Hamilton, a friend and adviser in busi
ness, and today will leave for New
York.
"We do not contemplate any startling
move in the near future," said Mr.
Moran last night. "Our purpose ia to
make the road a standard road of its
kind, and we consider tbe road from
Aituras to Davis Creek standard.
There is no plan to broad guage tbe
road. We believe it will serve the
needs ot the country fully, and it is
our purpose to make it always serve
the needs of the country tnrough which
the road travels.
"The country through which the road
travels brings many opportunities for
the settler, between Amadee and
Likely, experts some time ago advised
the people the soil waa well adapted to
sugar beet rulture. The exoeriment
has been tried with good results and it
has given an impttua to tbe settlement
of 'hbt region.
"We have not attempted much in
the line of colonizing. There is litera
ture out which describes the opportu
nities of the wett, but we believe the
best advertisement is the prosperous
settler. If a hundred men go into
that country and make a success and
they will not be much good it they
can't thev will write tack and bring
a thousand more. Tbe work is slow to
start, but with such a country when it
ia well started, it will keep on of its
own merit.

Lost Horse Is Found
Through Insertion of a
Small Want Ad
The value of newspaper advertising
demonstrates itself many times a week
to the man who is in close touch with
the business world, and more especially
the newspaper man.
'lhe newspaper man sees iht anxious
man bring his "ad" to be inserted in
the paper that will take bis little story
into hundreds and thousands of homes
and business houses. Afterwards he
sees or hears of tbe answer and results
tbe advertiser receives from people in
response to tbe very thing tbat the ad
vertiser desires, and in a manner that
both he and inquirer are mutua'ly bene
fitted. A recent case ot beneficial advertis
ing comff from D. P. Malloy of this
city who thanks the Examiner for I v
catirg a valuable horse that was lost
atout a month ago. Mr. Malloy insert
ed a small advertisement in the Exam

was found by Harry Boydstun and was
being held for someone to claim the
animal. He notiued the little want ad
in the Examiner bearing the exact
description of the horse. Mr. Malloy
was immediately notified of tbe
whereabouts of bis horse and be receiv
