FILTRATION PLANT.
City Engineer Shedd's Natural Bed Plan
Will Be Considered.

Two weeks from this evening the
question OF filtration will come up
In the Common Council again and
City Engineer Shedds plans for a
natural filtration plant at Pettacon-
sett will probably be voted upon. In
this connection Me-. Shedd calls atten-
tion to recently published book, in
Germany, which has been translated
for the benefit OF English speaking ,peo-
the meteorological diagnosis of Cholera,
Water Filtration and Cholera and the
Cholera in Germany during the Winter
Of 1892 and 1898. -
DIR. w. G. Gardner, professor OF medi-
cine in the Glasgow University and presi-
dent OF the Royal College OF Physicians
OF Edinburgh, wrote the preface, In
which he states that while Professor Koch
is not thought much OF in this country
because of his failure In the instance OF
toxic incubation for tubercular diseases,
he believes him to be one of the most
distinguished and trustworthy authori-
ties of this century on all subjects con-
to diagnosis and also to the prevention
Of disease. Mr. George Duncan, M. A.,
who translated the work IL also unques-
toned as to his ability and City Engineer
Shedd says that Professor Koch is the
highest authority ON filtration in the
the various formo Of cultivation of bac-
terra, including the peptone, gelatine and
Agar-plate, are gone into to some extent
and water filtration and cholera are
next taken up. In the latter connection
Professor Koch says that the cholera
epidemic in Hamburg, Altona and Wands-
beck showed that there was every reason
to devote the greatest stteption to water
supply. The three cities, although, strict
ly speaking, forming one single city,
differ essentially only In that they are
differently supplied with water--Wands-
beck from lake scarcely exposed to pol
luton, Hamburg from the Elbe, taking
its water in an unlfitered state, and Alto
ma taking IL in filtered state from the
Elbe, below the city. Hamburg suffered
terribly from cholera and the other two
scarcely at all, Altona received water
which was originally much worse than
that OF Ham burg, but 1t was almost wholly
freed OF cholera bacteria by careful filtra-
tion. hM
"The Hamburg Aitons cholera epidem-
ic, then, irrefutabiy proved that the IL
tration of water through sand affords q
practically sufficient protection against
cholera contagion.p '"In the manage
ment of filters the essential thing Is that
the flltering mud layer regularly form
first on top OF the ssnd, from the filth In
the water; that II be not disturbed dur
ing filtration, and that. after constant
further deposits of dirt have made IL too
thick and too little permeable by the
water, il be removed At the right time"
Natural filtration Is q much better safe
guard against disease, according to Pro-
lessor Koch, than any artificial filtration.

In the vicinity of Georgetown, FL Do
rado County, claim has been made to a
strip of territory thirteen miles long
by a mile and half wide, practically
covering nineteen square miles. This
claim is made by individuals who have
ual, and who by this means is to obtain
nineteen square miles of land which he
proposes to call a gold mine. It must be
offensive to the pure white soul of this
anti-monopolist that anyone in the
world should have the temerity to OBJ
ject to his bodying UP nineteen square
miles of mineral land. But in very
truth, there is no such body of mineral
land in the world The land monopo-
lists, by reason of legislation adverse to
their purposes, have lost the power of
bodying up land for agricultural pur
poses. They are now resorting to the
miserable trick of claiming land as min
eral, because there appears to be no linn
itation to the extent to which man

A CASE TO EXCITE PITY.

The San Francisco Chronicle tells
of an instance of wrong done to a poor
miner by the issue of patents to the rail-
road company in Siskiyou County 1t
says that the wrong to the miners is
illustrated by an instance in which a
citizen of Michigan claimed 10, 743 acres
of placer lands in Sislliyou County. A
citizen of Michigan with mine COM
prising 10,743 acres of land, to which he
had no other title than that he made
claim to it, is a spectacle for gods and
men.
We have heretofore pointed out that
there are placer mines in this State
covering from 5000 to 1000 acres. That
they are glaring frauds nobody will
deny. That they were bodied up for the
purpose of acquiring title to timber
lands fraudulently is also undeniable.
But this is the first instance we have
found of a placer claim of over 10000
acres, and all owned by a gentleman in
Michigan under a possessory title on file
in Siskiyou County. A possessory title
The record-union., 1896-03-16

on file in Siskiyou County of course
would repeal a railroad grant. violate
homestead and pre-emption laws, break
down the policy of the Government in
the direction of distributing the owner
ship of land to small holders; and in all
respects this case of 10000 acres of
placer mines is one to excite the pity of
mankind. This poor gentleman who re-
sides in Michigan and writes to the Re-
corder of Siskiyou County that he lays
claim to a body of 10,743 acres of land,
all placer mine, should of course have
immediate redress.
The Chronicle" goes on to state that
when the railroad company laid claim
tc the land, notice of the fact was pub
lished in the Yreka Union" for sixty
days, but that the poor owner of 10000
acres of gold knew nothing of this no.
tice until it was too late, and the lands
had passed from his possession He has
consulted lawyers in San Francisco and
has been told that he has no hope of re-
covery except by bringing an action to
have the patents which were issued to
his splendid estate set aside on the
ground of fraud. What tremendous
fraud it must have been to have in
vaded gold mine covering 10, ,743 acres,
alleged to be owned by gentleman in
Michigan, and what kind of a title did
this gentleman obtain to the 1O743
acres of land, all gold? According to
the Chronicle" he had a possessory
title. Then how was he in possession,
living in Michigan? What had he done
on this 10000 acres? Was he raising
cattle on it, and was it under fence?
Was he employing a large number of
Chinese to take the gold out? Nothing
Of the kind. It was mere assertion of
title, and if a gentleman living in Mich
igan can assert title to 10,743 acres,
what law prevents him from asserting
title to 100000 acres, or 100000 acres,
and calling it all a gold mine?
The record-union., 1896-03-16

counsel for the railroad, Mr. Herrin, in
stantly replied: You can have it at
those figures. think it can be bought
for that" and the court clinched the
bargain" with the remark: ''Then,
gentlemen, if you agree, the sale is con-
summated.''
The question was then taken up of
the operation of the road, its income
and the cost Of operation, and the deficit
disclosed upon its books was by the al
legations of the bill shown to have been
for 1894, under existing rates, which it
is proposed to cut down one-fourth,
$276,262 20, and that for the first six
months of 1895 the deficit of the Pacific
system under existing rates was ST.
4T6,176 80. But a surplus is shown for
1894 of $424, 497 O5, by considering
lines only within the State. For the
first half of 1895, however, restricting
the calculation to lines wholly within
the State, there was deficit of $685.
622 %. From this point the able counsel
proceeded to argue the proposition that
to diminish the revenue as proposed
by $1,700,000, would be rank invasion
Of the rights of the roads; that there
can be in justice no such separation of
a system as suggested, all the parts
of which are mutually dependent in con-
sidering rate effects, and he cited nu-
merous decisions of courts from the
supreme tribunal of the United States
down, to show that this segregation is
not permissible; that any attempt to set
off part of the system in that manner
is inequitable and intolerable, but that
the property must be dealt with as it
is found, with its debts, its mortgages,
it's income, and its system of revenues
as a whole, and that enough must, un-
der the most extreme view of regula-
tion, be allowed the investor to meet
his liabilities if he can, and fair and
reasonable return from his investment;
that it was never intended that the
owners of railroad properties should
not make reasonably large profits; that
it was no more intended that such COM
panies should not pay dividends than
that Nthe banks of the land shall not
make profits and divide them among
the investors.

heard of ministers with ceremonies occu-

covering pretty thoroughly the moral law
and the history Of the Jews.

seemed 10 know good deal better what
he was about. When the minister asked
him, 'Do you take this woman to be your

to Life was that than another. case when in
addressing the bride the minister asked,
stDo you take this man for better or for

this occasion we think 1t would not have
been inappropriate had the friend who
presided at the plano played for a recess

have been performed at a recent wedding
in Boston. AS the newly married pair
retired down the aisle the organist is said
to have innocantly rendered "Onward,
