The large amount of volatile matter
and albuminoid ammonia shows the
water to contain considerable organic
matter, but it seems to be of a harm
less kind, and | believe the water to be
entirely free from sewage pollution"
\ letter from DR.. U. O. B. Wingate e.
touching upon the matter, WAS in sub
stance that be does not hesitate to state
that the river water is unfit for domes-
tic use. He says:
Il have no doubt but what YOUR
theory is correct that the water is CON
taminated frCm above and that it will be
very difficult for you to SO purify itas to
be free, unless you have the most mod
ern system of sand filtration. IF I
remember distinctly the process that
you are using is not OF the most mod
ern type. Sand filtration is the most
satisfactory filter that we can have for
contaminated water, as 1t can be made
to filter out nearly all of the bacteria
and it is in use in cities abroad and III
this country, Lawrence, Mass, and
Ashland this state, for instance. and
practically has prevented the occurrence
of typhoid fever in these two places
since the system has been put in use.
Prior to that time both places had a
great deal of typhoid fever. 1t has to
be watched, however, and bacttriolog-
ical examinations made from time TO
time to see what proportion of bacteria
are being filtered through and the filters
have to be taken care Of carefully"
SECOND ANALYSIS.
October 13, a second sample of tap
water was forwarded for ANALYSIS. This
tap happened to be made when the
supply in the race was very low, the
-four mill having consumed an unusual
amount Of water OWlngt to a break down.
AS in cases of low water, the in take
pipe at pumping station was opened
and pumps were sending water to the
homes direct from the river without
filtration. The second tap was, there
fore, river wafer and nothing else. and
the ANALYSIS was proof of nothing more
than what has already been given-that
the river water unfiltered is not fit for
use. The one cause for complaint thus
far is, then, that the water system should
in some manner be SO improved that
there will under no circumstances, eX-
cepting fire perhaps, come occasion for
pumping the water direct from the
river. Engineer Pfeiffer informs us
that this occurs only a few times per
year, that it is the exception and not
the rule, but we believe it should not
even be the exception.
At a special meeting of the Centralia
council Monday night committee was
appointed to have the size of the filter
at pumping house increased at cnce
and the work will be done under sug-
gestions from the state board of health.
In the meantime it will be a safe pre-
caution for all Centralia people 10 boil
the water used for drinking purposes.
This is not an idle suggestion, you are
made cognizant of the fact SO that you
can protect Yourself if YOU wish. When
the sand filtration is enlarged, it is
thought that it will furnish the required
remedy. Further analysis will then be
made.

Ont and Out for Gold.

-HE theory with the Montana
goldbug republicans who met in
convention in Helena yesterday
was that the less said about silver the
soonest mended. since everybody knows
that the hypocrisy OF any assertions on
their part in silver's favor would stand
exposed. In former years, these Mon
tana goldbugs have tried free-silver talk
as a rider on their platform. They
found that they thus made a mess OF
Il; they give Il up.
Sanders is the only man amongst
them all who has been decently con-
sistent. He's been a goldbug first, last
and all the time. They had to come e
him-Carter. Marshall. Richards and
the rest. Even Richards; think OF II.
And other republicans who have pro.
fessed friendship for silver as loudly
and as long as Richards did will 20 owe

year that there will be no world re-

wheat that can be spared for export.
with no world reserve TO draw on and
with the acreage deficit such as it Is
IL is inevitable that the price Of wheat
should go up. and the American farmer
will profit the most by the advance.
4 careful examination OF the sources
Of possible increase in wheat acreage
shows that no appreciable increase In
acreage can be looked for in any other
country but America. Under the most
advantageous conditions siberia can
not raise wheat enough to feed it's W
population. and the labor market in
South America viii prevent largely in
creased expectations. 1t is 20 America
that the world must look for It's grain
| supply and it's increased grain acreage.
The United states will remain the gran
airy OF the world.
But even II all the available acreage
in the United States should be turned
over to grain. a deficit, constantly in
| creasing with the years, will remain
! and gradually grow larger until states
, men will have a more momentous ques-
ton TO deal with than tariff and terri
torial expansion. Among the immedi-
| ate effects of the shortage will be the
increase in price, which, forced down
by a vicious currency system and meas
ured by an approaching standard, yet
must follow the inevitable law of sup
ply and demand. And with higher
prices for wheat will come an opportu-
nifty to transform the thousands OF
acres of bench and prairie lands In Mon
tana into immense wheat fields. Witt
the low prices which prevailed severa
years back, the necessary outlay foI
irrigation was an impossible invest
ment. but with the price up where tbs
experts say It is going and going e
stay. every available acre will be util
lied and capital will scramble for al
opportunity to invest. When that TIM
comes. and the statisticians say it Il
not far distant, Eastern Montana will
blossom like a garden. and in addition
TO being the treasure state of the union
Montana will rank among the first a
