on the premises OF the householder. This
law, together with the faulty grade of
sewers IN some parts, ana owing to the
absence IF sewers in others, have resulted
IN system OF cesspools in which house
drainage is collected and allowed to fer
lnent until absorbed by the surrounding
soil.
1t is the rule, and not the exception,
that these cesspools-even we're con-
nected at the top to the sewers-are so
porous that during the greater part of the
year the absorption by the soil keeps the
level below the outlet to the sewer, and as
the soil absorbs nothing but the liquid
portions of the sewage, the result Is
that our cesspools contain a mass of semi
liquid purifying sewage, both offensive
and a menace to health. 1t is not neces-
sary to enlarge on this, as it is too well
known as crying nuisance by our entire
population.
Your committee have therefore decided
that, in proposing new system Of sewer
age, the cesspoOls must be eliminated; and
that while 1t is impracticable to use any
part, except lateral drains, of the present
sewers in connection with the new sys-
tenn Tor house drainage, they will furnish,
as now, a valuable means of surface
drainage to take care of the rainfall.
a separate system for house drainage
has many points of excellence to recon-
allows OF smaller sewers, which are more
readily kept clear of deposit, and which
do not form reservoirs for the collection
OF sewer gas. They are easily and cheaply
flushed, and discharge the average
amount of drainage with greater rapidity.
In our case, where we have the surface
system already in, it will result in greater
economy Of construction. Again, if we
resort to publication system, then the
separate sewers are of essential import
ance, as 1t would be unreasonable to go to
the expense of handling all our rainfall
and sipeage water by any OF the purifica-
ton methods.
One of the difficulties met with by your
committee is the Slight fall in any direc-
ton in the surface OF the city. This is not
sufficient to render a gravity system
practicable without creating an additional
fall.
After careful consideration, we have de-
clded on plan which will render
gravity system operative, and yet not too
cumbersome to be carried out success
fully. In this connection we desire to
call your attention to the mass OF detail
work which is necessary to be done be-
lore we can present complete plan, with
proper estimates of cost. The members
of this committee have not the necessary
time at their disposal to work out these
details, and therefore ask that they be
allowed the services of a draughtsman
and an engineer to complete the work in
a satisfactory manner.
We are confident that it will result in a
system that can be economically con-
structed and maintained, and will do
away with all future question of proper
drainage and successful disposal. Re-
spect1ully submitted,

How Recent sacramento Incident is
Regarded Elsewhere.

Regarded Elsewhere.
The Pacific Fted Sports of San Fran
cisco. edited by H. r. Payne, says;
THE trial Of old Mrs. " eOer Of Sacra-
mento last week for the tiendish act of
dog poisoning resulted in new method
OF disposing of criminals. Our genial
friend Judge Post conducted the prosecu-
ton. The evidence was conclusive OF the
old woman's guilt. Judge Buckley, in
summing up the testimony, stated that it
was plain case and that he would have
to hold the prisoner. Whereupon the
prosecuting witness, Mr.. Hall, arose and
stated TO the court that he was satisfied
with his success in locating the offender;
that all he wished was to prove that the
crime had been committed by this wo-
man, but that as she was old and the pun
ishnent was severe, he would now ask
the court, while holding her guilty Of the
otfense as charged, not to impose the pen
atty provided by law, but to turn her
loose, and in compliance with this re-
quest the Judge did SO.
Here is man robbed by q soulless
woman OF pet that undoubtedly occu-
pied warm place in his affections, that
proves even in the hour Of his atliiction
that the heart that is big enough
and grand enough to find room for
the love OF animals is also full
OF human charity. While he mourns
the loss of his cherished dog and
loaths the being-unworthy the proud
name of woman-that robbed it of its life,
yetin his big-heartedness he is the first to
rise before the bar of justice and sue for
mercy; the first to forgive her on account
Of her sex and gray hairs. All honor to
". j. Hall. Would any dog -hater have
done this? Never. The heart that is
big enough and kind enough to love
Gods animals can find room for mag
nanimity toward the less noble animal
| that would unteelingly destroy them.
The man who loves dog, loves him
because he possesses attributes that
challenge the admiration of our noblest
instincts. His courage. his unselfsh af-
fection, his undying devotion and confid-
ing nature are qualities found only in the
purest and noblest Of human hearts. In
these attributes-call it instinct If you
will-the canine towers above his human
brother like the hoary head of Shasta does
above the sand dunes of the sea shore.
Truly it can be said the more we see of
men the better we like dogs"

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County. for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
menL This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. 20
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 40, 16O and 32O acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the paw
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual instalments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent per annum
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this Is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spOnd between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object Of the purchase Of this
body Of land was the breaking up Of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

The Flood at Roanoke City.

By the copious rain (which attended
which did so much damage in all the
Atlantic Coast States, Roanoke River
was higher than ever known; and in the
West End of Roanoke city 40 houses
were flooded, and had to be vacated by
their occupants, and what made it more
terrible was the fact that it occurred in
the middle of the night. At midnight
the stream was three quarters of mile
wide.
At midnight the water was within
three feet of the bottom of Walnut
street bridge, the Roanoke and South
ern track for 1000 yards was submerg-
ed and the whole Pleasant Valley Land
Company's track was under water.
The baseball park was entirely under
water, and on the lower side was covered
at the depth of six feet and the water
was still rising.
One of the serious casualties of the
rain storm was washout in the ALTERS
noon on the Norfolk aud Western rail
road near Elliston in which about 1000
feet Of the track was destroyed and all
traffic on that division suspended.
Westbound train No. Z, known as the
Chicago train, which leaves Roanoke at
4:3O p. M, after remaining in the yards
until until 8 O'Clock that evening, was
annulled. There were a number of

they alighted from the cars and were
seen slowly walking to their homes
wearing gloomy and disappointed
looks.
