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."

"The effects of sewage pollution of a
stream In creating a nuisance Is well
Illustrated by the Passaic river. Tho

and fifteen jears ago ihad, which for

reported that the acid of the sewage-,

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

manently Its power fur evil.
"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

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

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
