SP0KANE'SW WATER SUPPLY
CERTAIN TO Be POLLUTED

for Spokane to do IL to secure. q
new water system.
City Engineer Mcintyre said this
morning:
THE building of the Occur
d'Alene sewer system will pollute
the water now being pumped into
the city mains and will be a menace
to the health of the entire popula-
ton Of Spokane. In view OF these
existing condition l would strongly
recommend that the matter of the
installation of a plant for procuring
q pure water supply from the I'M
derground source near the up-river
pumping station be taken up at
once. l have reports and estimates
of cost by j. T. Tanning, the Min
neapolis hydraulic engineer, per-
tanning to this. l have the chemi-
cal analysis of c.. M. Fassett, and a
archaeological test of DR.. M. c..
Robins, showing this underground
supply to be of unquestionable
purity. The health Office also has
reports showing that the river
water, even now, is wholly impure.
The abundance Of this underground
supply has been fully demonstrated.
1.-THE cost of machinery and in
stallation of plant to handle the
underground supply would not ex-
coed $4,000. These are Mr.. Fan
ning's figures. l have already drawn
preliminary plans and would rec
ommend that wells be dug at once
so that complete tests might be
made with a view to ordering the
installation of an entirely new

Hundreds of deaths In Spokane
will, in all probability, follow the
building of the sewer system at
Occur d'Alene, Idaho, the contract
for which has just been let to John
w. Costello. The only outlet for
the sewer is the Spokane river
and Spokane city drinks the river
water. Occur d'Alene is city with
a population at time of $500 peo-
pie. 1t has never had sewer sys-
tenn, but has r11red its refuse into
the river or hauled 1t away to
dumps outside the city. Everything
will now dump directly into the
river. The town is growing in popu-
lation at q great rate.

NEW WAY TO SHOOT

Fred w. Pearce, agent for an ap-

Practice" will give a demonstration
tonight at the city Jail. The ma
chine is guaranteed to teach how
to shoot accurately. No ammuni-

trigger and the appliance registers
how close the bullet would have hit
the mark. Pearce says many east

machine and that most of the stu
dents are very accurate riflemen
through its teaching. He hopes to
install one at the police station for
the especial benefit of Chief Rice.
