of the city very rapidly. The $4,000
subsidy would be needed to get the

Mayor Waters also spoke favorably
of the enterprise, and said the con-
struction of such lines to Dallas and
Silverton and Liberty meant more to
Salem than any other enterprises. He
believed this loan could be procured.

PLAN OF SEPTIC TANK.
Engineer strang Describes Exactly
How It Should Be built.

The septic tank should be an OBJ.
long rectangular tank, constructed of
concrete, arched over, and with cast
iron manhole opening, with cover at
the top and center of the arch, and of
a capacity equal to "a hours flow Of
sewage; the walls, bottom and arch at
least six inches thick, and nicely
plastered with cement after the wood
form is removed. The inside wood
form should be removed just as quick
ly as the concrete will hold in place,
as otherwise the wood form will swell
endwise and break some of the cor
ners of the concrete walls.
The inlet and outlet should be on
an exact level at the ends of the tank,
and both turn down inside the tank
with a curve to the depth of 1S to 1S

For Weak, Lansuid People.

Weak, sickly people often remarked
IF l could only get something that
would nourish me and give ne
strength" they do not know why, but
the food they eat is of no benefit to
them. They gain no flesh and feel
no stronger. The fact is the stomach
is too weak to perform its work. And
the little appetite they once had is
soon gone. The blood becomes more
thin and watery, bringing on faint sick
spells with loss of memory and ambi-
ton. There is remedy for all this
that acts in the right way. It is called
DR.. Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic,

alton made today we found heavy
scum six inches thick on the surface,
the remainder being hquified. and no
depoit whatever on the bottom.
Everything that passes through the
septic tank is in liqnid form and very
slightly discolored-free from scum or
slime-and requires a very close at
tention to perceive an odor. The
effiuent can be discharged into an open
ditch, or into a drain tile from which
branches a series of lateral tiles, and
in this way can be entirely dispoEed
of in the way of irrigation, or allowed

inches below the level Of the lower
side of the inlet and outlet.
The topside of the inlet and outlet
should be on level with the point
where the arch leaves the side walls
allowing space above where the
scum forms for any accumulation oil
gas.
AS DR.. Hutchinson states, "the prin'
ciple upon which the septic tank is
constructed is the generation Of anaer-
obic bacteria, which utterly destroys
an organic matter. They live without
oxygen. but draw their oxygen from
the organic material they feed upon"
This As the reason for turning the in
let and outlet down into the tank
and thereby trapping both, excluding
all air and light.
Now there is another feature. On
the surface of the liquid in the tank
scum is formed about six inches
thick In this scum is where the bac-
terra does its work, and II should be
disturbed as little as possible. This
being the case, currents in the tank
should be as easy as possible, and
not have a wall between the inlet and
outlet. as recommended in anoth-
er article. If there is a wall
at this point, it would force all cur
rents from the inlet to the outlet up
toward the scum surface and keep II
agitated all the time.
In order to reduce these currents,
when you turn down the curve into
the tank, also through the walls, use
extra heavy castiron soil pipe and ex-
ira heavy fittings, AMI on the end OF
the quarter bend, which you would
use for the curve place a tee, connect
ing the side outlet of the tee TO the
quarter bend Is to 1S inches from the
lower side of the inlet to the lower
side of the tee; on the two ends of the
tee connect pieces of pipe long
enough to reach within six inches CT
the side walls, leaving both ends
open; then on the bottom side of this
pipe cut slot about two inches wide
and as long as you can, leaving the
tee and about two inches of both
outside ends intact. The outlet is
is made exactly the same as the inlet.
With this arrangement you distribute
the sewage over large area of the
tank, which is the cause of the re-
duced currents.
The tank was built at the asylum
farm, has a capacity of 80 gallons to
each person using it, and has been in
constant use from May Is, 1903, to the
present time. and is caring for the
sewage of 60 persons. On an examin-

Deputy State Insurance Auditor
Pierce is prevented from collecting the
reciprocal insurance tax provided fer
by the insurance laws and the new
revenue law. The tax is due from the
companies which come within the jur-
isdiction of its provisions. but no pay
ments will be made until the supreme
court has handed down an opinion in
the case Of the state against the North
American Insurance company. The
opinion is expected at the first March
sitting Of the supreme court and is
awaited with anxiety by both insur-
ance companies and the insurance de-
partment, as their annual reports al
not be completed until a ruling is made.
IF the law is upheld a large amount Of
money will be turned into the state
treasury.

the state treasury has been enriched
by the tax. The tax on the foreign life
company has greatly exceeded that
on foreign fire companies. About all
of the companies have settled their
obligations under the new law. The
companies which have had to pay as q

81 900 with the amounts, are as fol-
lows:

Additional details of the japanese
attempt to close the entrance OF the

ceived at Paris from most authorita-

or six old transport hulks. conveyed
by torpedo boats. to Port Arthur with
the evident purpose of sinking the
hulks at the entrance Of the harbor.
The battleship Retvizan discovered
their approach and her fire on them
was strongly seconded by that of the
short batteries north of Port Arthur.
The two japanese ships were wrecked
and lie in Tiger bay: along the shore
another Japanese ship was burned and
a fourth lies wrecked on the shore out
side Tiger bay. These wrecks are not
warshlps, but hulks, designed to be
sunk at the entrance of the harbor.
The wrecks are said TO be at consider

states Attitude Toward Cubs.

Secretary Hay has received informa-
ton that Japan has negotiated a treaty
with Korea. whereby she guarantees
the independence and integrity of Ko-
rea.
This Is regarded in Washington as
one of the cleyerest of the many start
line diplomatic moves that have been
made in connection with the whole
eastern question. The effect is to place
japan on a high moral plane. for 1t
Is understood that this treaty is an an
nouncement to the world that even II
she prevails in her struggle with Rus
sia. involving the military occupation
Of Korea, Japan will take no advan-
tage of that fact. but will maintain the
Independence of the hermit kingdom.
Contrasting the two positions, an
official points out the attitude of Japan
toward Korea is very similar to that
of the United States toward Cuba when
the republic occupied the island with
it's military forces only To withdraw
them and free Cuba after il had rid her
