Analysis OF the Water.


The report received May Is by DR..
f. Pomainyille from the state chemist
at Madison says: our water is perfectly
wholesome.
WATER SUPPLY
While we have enough water
at present, this may not be so If
we have dry spell, unless we pump
from the river which is not salts
factory.
would therefore suggest that more
wells and another Reservoir be built.
CONDITION OF PLANT
The condition of the plant in all it's
parts is good, the repairs during last
year have been light only some
hydrant valves and main valves
needed repairing.
Extensions of water mains we have
great many blocks of mains
without any water takers, but there is
still an every present demand for new
extensions of water mains, these have
been supplied whenever the appli-
cation contained enough names of
water takers to pay 10 per cent of the
cost of laying the pipe. There was
no lack of names, but after the pipe
was laid one or two would take the
water and the rest would not be ready
until fall or spring and some of them
have put it off three years and still
have no water several times the cost
of repairing the main has exceeded
| the whole years water rental. We
spent last year as you see in this
report S1,179.1l, for extensions and
the total income per year is S79. 25. The
4 lnI
Johnson Hill Co. is the only one that
paws cost S23. rs water tax Sill per
| year.
| The city is ever ready to extend the
water mains whenever it is possible to
do so without loss but it is entirely
unfair to promise to take the water
and after the City went to the expense
in laying the main not take it. There
have been several water takers that
have done their part by putting in a
block of pipe at their own expense.
Let the city have an ordinance like in
most other cities, that all who sign,
and have signed, a petition for the
extension of water mains must pay a
water tax whether they use it or not
and the same to be charged up, in
with there property tax and collected
by the city treasurer.
My work has increased more than
double to what it was three years ago,
it is too much for one and not enough
for two therefore l had to stop going
around collecting water tax and have
patrons come to the office to paw at
the office in the Library building on
the east side. Office hours from to
Il a. m. and to p. m. this allows
me few hours time in the morning
and afternoon to do tapp ng and other
work that needs my attention.
i The first month of each quarter /
will be at the Office regularly to
receive water tax, after the first
! month l can not be at the Office steady
for l have to attend 20 reading over
80 meters flushing MIGRANTS, repairing
meters, looking after pump houses,
wells, laying pipe, repairing leaks. etc.
it would be better if little later on
the city could make arrangements
with the city treasurer to do the
collecting every quarter and the super.
intendent tG make out the bills like il
is done in many other cities or allow me
to hire some help fer short time.

ARE SHIPPING MANY
CATTLE FROM OREGON

During no past season in the annals
of Oregon railroads, it is said, has
there been sucn a long continued
movement of beef and stock cattle
east from the ranges of that state to
the middle west. Shipments of cattle
and sheep have been kept up remark
ably. Livestock Agent Mills, of the
allied lines, says that during the next
10 days there will be $50 cars of cattle
and sheep sent from Oregon to tho
east. During the season he estimates
that probably 10000 cars of livestock
nave left the northwestern ranges.
The movement has passed it's height
and is now diminishing, but shipments
will probably continue until Christ
mas.
The cattle and sheep are being
shipped to feeding points between the
ranges and the Missouri river for tho
most part and will complete the jour-
ney to market in the spring. The
large movement of the season will
leave fewer cattle to winter on Oregon
ranges than has been the case for
years.
