WEIRD SOUNDS ON THE LAKE.
Cracking of Ice Frightened Nearby
Residents.

Special to Times-Republican.
Clear Lake, Dec. 27.-One OF the curl
Gus phenomena that has attracted the
notice Of the residents here is the Pc
culiar sounds which emanate from the
lake during the night caused by the
expansion of the ice under the stress
of making more room for itself in the
lake bed. The sounds are not like
cracking ice which usually accompanies
the process of freezing over OF a body
of water like this, but is more the ma
ture of great human groan as II
giant were pressed down with great
burden. When first heard 1t startled
the residents, as it was at the dead OF
night and for some days the origin OF
the sound could not be fathomed.

Use Boiled Water.

At a meeting of the county couet We'd
nesdav, February 18th, the following or
der which is self-explanatory was adopt
ed.
"The county court as the county board
of health, realizing the danger of an ep.
idemic of typhoid fever through contin-
ued use of city water, after having CON
sidered said matter has ordered that DR..
II. S. Pernot, secretary said County
Board of Health, cause a notice to be
printed warning all persons to boil waite,
before using, and directing directors Of
District Number 9 to take all steps ne

and to safeguard the health of the people

I suggest that not only should those
who use city water conform to the re-
quirements above, bnt also those who
use water from wells should take the
same precaution of boiling it before use.

biological department at the college
is frequent now. Prof. Peruot is
kept almost constantly busy with
experiments bearing on water and
germs. Water from Eugene has
been examined with the result an
nouuced below. After what he has
found in water tested, Prof. Pernot
is dreadfully in earnest in urging
everybody for the present to use on
ly boiled water and to scald milk and
other utensils. Not only should
city water, boiled, but so should
well water, as is shown by the state
ment below, made by request of the
TIMES, by Prof. Pernot. He said:
Boiled water is in use in many
households, and there are those
who do not like it. Buttermilk

ence of Tactic acid. MOI can they
live in butter or cheese, for both

also available for drinking pur-

been demonstrated to be fatal to ty-
phoid bacilli. A solution of one

is an entirely safe as we'll as a whole

In the foods, all those cooked
can be eaten without fear. A boil

EVERYBODY
The old Orchards Likely to be
Saved Something About
the Movement.

AS to cleaning up the old or
chards. 1t looks as though Benton
would lead the procession. Mem
bers of a spraying firm in the
TIMES office yesterday, declared
that every faimer they have met
expects to join in the war or cut
down his trees. Prof. Cordley is
surprised at the way the movement
has taken hold in the remoter Sec
tons of the county. That person
has in fact, fallen between the
wheels of the cleanup car, and is
about to be ground into little pieces.
Everybody, even the father
wants information. They want to
know the best spray pump to use.
They want to know the ingredients
OF salt, lime and sulphur spray and
what to put in it. Also the pro-
portions of each, and how to apply
it. The question of when is the
best time for application and a
thousand other inquiries keep the
Cordley telephone in a jingle all
day long and sometimes far into the
night. st ..t
Though it is a strenuous task to
answer all these inquiries, Prof.
Cordley is much encouraged by
them, and takes interest in afford
ing information. He is full of en-
thusiasm fol the movement because
he realizes that if the spraying is
applied with fidelity that great
things can be accomplished. The
orchards which have been turning
off a valueless fruit can, by con-
trolling the pests and diseases, be
maue a source of revenue. The
old conditions of early days when
worms in the apples were unknown
can be in a great measure restored.
For the assistance of those who
lack information as to spraying,
there is printed below an except
from Prof. Cordley's we'll known
bulletin on spraying, which gives
the lime, sulphur and salt solution.
A new edition of the bulletin has
just been printed at the college for
free distribution among those who
make application for it.. The
; pamphlet comprises 20 pages, and
deals with all phases of the subject
of spraying. Following is an ex-
Gel pit:
The lime, sulphur and salt wash
is one of the most satisfactory sprays
for San Jose scale and is also of

the very best winter spray for clean

and diseased orchards. It Is prim'
arily a winter spray but when
much reduced in strength has been
used to advantage as a summer
spray for San Jose scale. Several
methods of preparing it are recon.
mended but the following, known
as the Oregon formula is the most
satisfactory in this climate: Quick
