ORDINANCE IS PREPARED
FOR BOX DRAIN SEWER
VIII BE Presented and Probably
Adopted ut Meeting Of Council
Monday Night.

City Attorney Forsyth, carrying
out the instructions of the council ct
the last meeting, has prepared an
ordinance, resolutions and the neces-
sary reports, providing for and con-
nected with the west side box drain
sewer. This ordinance will be pre-
sented and read at the next meeting
Of the council. Monday evening. and
II is predicted will he adopted with
out delay. Since the city Is well
within the constitutional limit Of IN.
debtedness, 1t Is not necessary that
the proposition be submitted to the
electors OF the city.
The estimated cost of the drain or
sewer is In the neighborhood OF
$500. This will be paid for out
Of the current expense fund. The
labor OF digging the ditch and laying
the drain would be the biggest item
of expense and this would call for
quite large force Of men to be en-
ployed month or more.
The line of the proposed drain IL
as follows: Beginning on North
Rainier avenue. thence to Mckee
avenue, to Chestnut street, to Kitti-
tas avenue, to Spruce street, to All
tanum avenue. and thence on the
center line OF Ahtanum avenue to the
Schanno ditch, into which the drain
Is designed to empty.
The purpose OF the drain Is to carry
of the sub-surface water which
comes from the higher irrigated
lands west Of the city, and its design
is to avoid the presence OF so much
water in the soil as nas been noted
for years. 1t Is thought by eminent
engineers who have given an opinion
on the subject that remarkable
decrease in the amount OF water un-
der the city during irrigation season
will be noted II the drain Is built. and
sanitary conditions greatly improved.
The box drain as planned Is to be
an open bottomed box OF heavy tim
Der, "a inches high and "a inches
wide. II will be laid at an average
depth OF ten feet below the surface,
and the plan Ia to place II in posi-
ton as soon as possible. beginning
the work Immediately after the shut
ting OF Of the water in the irrgafing
bitches.

council will soon be called upon to

ting the question to vote again.
The drainage pipe connection with
the sewer, II Is stated. will not be

Thousands of strangers mingled with
the native crowds which filled the
streets from early morning and the
churches were filled to suffocation
during the morning, when festival SER

the Tivoli del Elisio and in the even

EUGENE IN GOOD HEALTH.
Recent Rumor That the Empress Was
III Is Unfounded.

PARIS, Sep. S.-The rumor as to
the grave indisposition of the eX-em-
press Eugene, happily proves to have
been unfounded. but it must be remem-
bered. all the same, that her majesty
is now nearly an octogenarian, having
been born in 1926, only seven years la
ter than Queen Victoria. 1t argues
marvellous Vitality that she has been
able for so long to resist the sorrows
which began to fall on her so thickly
just five and thirty years ago, when
she and her consort lost their empire,
and the still heavier blow of some
years later when ner only son fell un-
der the assegas of the Zulus. But
then the ex-empress has always shown
herself to be possessed of a certain
amount of iron in her composition, de-
rived, no doubt, from her Scottish
grandfather, a Kirkpatrick of Close
burn, who settled at Malaga as a wine
merchan.
