If there granted an Injunction against the city of Santa Kosa from omptvlng Into a i reck Impure effluent from sewage Ir rigation. The Supreme Court of Connecticut stated In a recent ruling "the dis charge of sewage and other noxious matters Into an Inland stream to the Injury of a riparian proprietor below has been held to be an unlawful In vasion of the rights of said proprie tor, remediable by Injunction." Quoting fiom Kolucll on sewerage. "The effects of sewage pollution of a stream In creating a nuisance Is well Illustrated by the Passaic river. Tho extent of the pollution of the lower Passaic may be III ways. It Is apparent ST'ln ?h, foulneVs' of ' ThY sho o.l' "" along shore then where sewage-.aden mud. exposed to .i.ffri" ft'' ??" P't the sun, gives on foul odors. Klsh life, excepting of a few hardy varie ties, has disappeared from the river, and fifteen jears ago ihad, which for merly frequented the stream, aban doned It. The manufacturers hate reported that the acid of the sewage-, at that extremity of tho town which will prevent the sewage being borne along the shore front. Prevailing winds also must he taken Into ac count, so that floating sewage mat ter may not bo blown back towards the town, otherwise shores within t.H. ...... .....i ..... kh.... ..." one-half and one mile of sewer out as to make Its use Inadvisable. The' It?..? "1" '.1 b. ''"u,cd' use of the river for pleasure purposes. wnirn at one time made it a delight to thousands, has been ruined, and the attractiveness of the river may be said to have disappeared," The author states that while this Is an extreme case, there are many oth ers In this country almost as bad, and as the country becomes more thickly populated, other streams will become similarly polluted. Comparison of the conditions here with those of the Passaic might not prove unprofitable to the city of Klamath Falls. The author sas further "that be fore It can positively be affirmed that a sewage-polluted stream Is safe for drinking after a few miles flow, It must be shown so definitely as to be beyond question by thoio whoso spe cial studies havo fitted them for Intel ligent Judgment that the purifying agencies have practically eliminated the germs of the water-borne com municable diseases. That until such showing Is clearly made the propo sition that erode sewage ought not to be turned Into running streams, ponds. lakes, or other bodies of wa ter which cither are or may be the these outlets should be at somo dlr tanco from any land, when possible." When raw house sewage la dis charged Into absolutely pure water, the amount of dilution necessary to render It Innocuous Is )et a debatable question, as Is also the question whether any amount of dilution ren ders It Innocuous, and whether a riv er, lake, or body of salt water, wheth er with or without currents, which has onro been polluted will naturally purify Itself. Polluted water puri fies Itself not only by oxidation, but also by sedimentation, dilution, and the agency of animal life. The waters of Lake Ewauna and the rlrer between here and Keno we know are heavily charged with de caying vegetable matter already. The lake bed and the river bed and the shore line Is composed of foul mud which gives off unpleasant odors In the hot weather even now that Is of fcnslve to pedestrians on Main street and persons boating on the waters. "Most waters." says the author, "contain considerable free oxygen, and If the amount of this In any given body of water Is sufficient to oxidize Helping the Town By banking roar money la a bank la your own common itjr yoa Increase tbe community's power to do baalneas.

"Ily sedimentation only tho matter In suspension Is removed, tho propor tional amount depending upon tho velocity and turbulence of tho wnler, the specific gravity and slto of mat ters In rusucii'loii. nml tho time al lowed. It Is doubtful It excessive sedimentation Is ileslrablo In any bod) of fresh water, since tho deposit even In tho deepest water will do worked over by bacteria and give off offensive gases. A largo part of tho suspended mntter dues not settle un der ordinary conditions, hut remain on or near the surface of the water, Midi which It mixes. Such Inter mingling Is often slow, and the dis charge of a sewer can be traced for a tong distance as a separate stream, mingling but slowly, ami along In iiIki, with tho purer water." The- fact that the waters of l.nka Kvtauti.i and the river between hero and Keno are already charged with debating vegetable mntter Increases the ililtlculties of determining to wiint extent they will purify themselves bv oxlil.il Ion nnd sedimentation II further polluted with raw house sew- age; and, again. It being a sluggish body of water, the question naturally arises, does not that fnrt render tho lumping of raw sewngo therein ex tremely hazardous? Ilcforo It Is finally determined to dump tho raw houso scwago Into I.ake Kwauna, tho Council ought to bo perfectly satisfied on theso points Will It detract from tho attractive ness of tho lako as a plcasuro re sort and destroy Its usefulness In that respect as a factor In tho develop ment and progress of tno cltyT Aro tho waters of tho lako and rltcr between hero and Keno capable, of receiving raw sowage from a popu lation of 5,000 and purifying them selves to tho extent that not only will this city, but other communities and individuals, rccclvo tho protection contemplated by law? Nino out of ten of tho poislblo In vestors arriving horo and looking over our city express their surprlso that we aro not all fcvcr-ibakcn; and It li sometimes a little, difficult to ex plain the conditions that contrlbuto to tho healthfulness of tho place. With a mammoth cessnool In opera tion It may bo moro difficult In a few years to offer a satisfactory explana tion. Kvcry Intelligent Investor and homo builder can bo relied on to In vestigate conditions beforo investing his money. Tho contemplated sower system ought to be designed and constructed not for to-day alone, but with an c)o to Its future efficiency and useful ness; and tho disposition of tho sew age should bo along modern, scien tific lines. The adoption of a method of disposition becauso of Its cheap ness in tno beginning is ordinarily accompanied with disastrous conse quences. There Is no question but what dumping tho raw sowago Into Lako Ewauna Is tho cheapest way on earth of disposing of It to-day. No argu ment is necessary to convlnco tho most skeptical of that fact. Should that method of disposition bo adopted and tho svstem constructed, In two or threu ears an Injunction suit mny prevent the further uio of tho sys tem. Prom a financial standpoint tho result Is a calamity. It Is an open question whether or not tho dumping of tho effluent from a septic tank without subjecting It to romo purlfvlng process may not meet with serious objection, owlne to tho condition nf tho waters of tho lake. Tho population of this city will un doubtedly Increase, if It does any thing, and tho dumping of raw sew age from a population of, say, 5,000 people Into tho lako for ten years as an experiment Is hardly up to tho (Continued on Third Page.)
