HEALTHERS LOOK
UP SEWAGE MATTER

Some of the members Of the board of
health are posting themselves con-
cerning the running of the sanitary
sewage disposal plant, south of the
city. 1t has been reported to the men,
bers that the establishment is not be-
ing run as it was intended it should
be and they will make inquiries at the
mex; meeting of the board why this
should be so.
When the plant was first construct
ed there was no complaint as the sol
Id matter found in the bottoms of the
flush tanks was pressed into cakes
and fauled away. For a number of
years past this part of the work at
the sewage disposal plant has been
abandoned and the filth from the city
has been permitted to be dumped on
the land Of the 29 acres used as a
sewer farm, without regard to the
property holders In that vicinity.
Those well posted on such matters
are of the opinion that II the work is
done at that place as it was original
ly intended that the plant is adequate
To do the work Of the city at its pres
eht size.

ed at the convention by Delegates
William Frankham, Harry Weiss,
Fred Witer and Ed. E. Bender The
delegates will leave on Tuesday for

rangements were completed.
A special train will carry about $50
Eagles, half of whom will be accom-
panied by ladies. to GAINESVILLE. The
special will leave Canton at 500
Thursday morning, returning to Can
ton, leaving GAINESVILLE at $3.50 p. m.
The Canton aerie appreciates the
great showing made by GAINESVILLE at
the convention held in this city last
summer, and they will show their ap-
probation by sending the largest del
egation to GAINESVILLE Thursday that
they have ever sent anywhere
The famous Grand Army band will
accompany the delegation and will
head the marching club. This club
will be a picked one and they have
been rehearsing semi-weekly under
the direction of Conductor Jean Gable
assisted by Captain Fisher. The last
rehearsal will take place today at the
| hall In the McCurdy block. The club
will present a fine appearance. They
will be attired In blue serge uni
form, wear black bow ties, straw
hats and will carry canes. A McKin-
ley carnation, will adorn the button
hole of each member Of the club. The
appearance of the marchers cannot
help but excite admiration.
At Navarro the MasillOn aerie will
join the special from here, and will
add two coaches to the train. From
then there will be no stop till Zanes'
Vile is reached.
Prominent members of the Eagles
said that GAINESVILLE was advertising
the convention as being the best ever
held in the state. While that may
be true" said the members, while
they reminiscently thought of the con
vention last year, they will have tc

FIRE HOUSE
To be Erected In Canton
Will be Modern and
Up-to-date
is, GREATLY NEEDED

Canton is to have one Of the most
modern and up-to-date fire and police
department buildings for city of its
size in the state, and a structure that
every citizen will feel just pride in
for years to come. The unsafe condI-
tion OF tie present fire department
building and the cramped and incon-
Venient arrangement made it neces-
sary for substantial and adequate
quarters to be provided for central
FIRE department and the increased ia
cilities for fighting fire that is requir-
ed.
The police department has long felt
the need of quarters that would af-
ford them some convenience and en-
able the forming and carrying out OF
the rules and discipline that is re-
Quired for force now required for
cities of this size.
The cut illustrating the new fire
department and police headquarters
building is an exact reproduction
from Architect w. 8. Epperson's draw
ings and shows the Eighth and Court
street fronts. The building will be
two stories high with basement
and will have q frontage of "a feet
on Eighth and Seventh streets, and
1872 feet on Court street. All exterior
walls will be faced with red pressed
brick and trimmed with white sand
stone and terra Gotta.
The. first story is arranged for the
central fire department, and the en-
tire. police and patrol department.
The departments are divided by a
court or driveway 20 feet wide enter
ed through wide archway from Court
street and extending to the west wall
of the building and connecting with
q corridor IL feet wide to the city
hall. This driveway will be used by
the police patrol with prisoners where
they can be unloaded and enter the
prison In basement without being
subjected to the view of the public.
It will also be used for entering the
stables and for the reserved apparatus
room and the freproof vault The
south half of the building on the first
floor is designed for the apparatus
room and stables for the fire depart
ment and is arranged with a roomy
Vsstibuls entrance at the corner OF
Eighth and Court streets for public en-
trahce and from The vestibule wide
stairs leads to a balcony eight feet
wide for the accommodation or visi-
tors that desire to view the apparatus
or drills. The stalls and stables for
the horees are located along the north
side of the apparatus room and double
door entrance to the each stall and
front OF building will be fitted up with
the most approved springs and trips
for quick opening and closing.
In connection with these apartments
ample lockers. harness cases and bins
are provided aud large platform
hand power elevator to basement il
arranged for conveying apparatus tc

The floors of apparatus rooms and

government is TO construct the forti-

Some time ago the war department
made the proposition TO the Pacific
coast states 10 establish Notifications
at unprotected points where bat
terry Of the national guard could be
organized With this plan In view,
General Finer recently visited Coos
Bay. He found ideal conditions, both
for making the Qualifications and for
the organization OF a battery OF state
artillery.
Coos Bay occupies an important
strategetic position. IL is situated
$50 miles south of Astoria and 400
miles north OF San Francisco. IL has

sound The entrance presents an
ideal location for a fort. The govern
ment has a land reserve of about 22O
acres in the vicinity. On the north
side OF the bar is low sand spit on
which is located the life saving sta
ton, and the government works used
In constructing the jetty.
South OF the entrance 70 the bay
is Coos Head. This is a point which
forms and which is the beginning or
a long rock plateau extending Tor
some distance down the coast. The
government owns Coos Head and the
adjoining land. II is a natural fort.

would give the young men of the

ing; an armory would be bailt and
regular army officers would train the
recruits. The state would provide
the armory building and a site for Il
would probably be donated by the
local people.
The organization would be of
great advantage In case OF rivts or
other local disturbance. Coos Ray
is at present without any state Iaili-
tia protection. Should assistance OF
that kind be needed II would be ne
cessary to transport them siNty miles
over rough mountain roads from
Roseburg or by boat from Portland,
an undertaking expensive and almost
too slow TO be effective.

Omitted Press Leased Wire.)
Portland, Or. Nov. 23.-That
President-elect Taft received a
greater number of votes at the re-
cent election than President Roose-
welt did in Oregon in 1904 is evil
denced by the complete official re-
turns.
The figures show that Taft re-
ceived 62.530 as against 60,455 for
President Roosevelt four years ago.
Taft's plurality, however, is not as
large as that of Roosevelt, but this
Is accounted for from the fact that
Bryan ran far ahead Of Parker, not
that Taft ran behind Roosevelt.
This year Bryan received 3S,0i9
while Parker's vote four years ago
was only 1881. Taft's plurality Is
24,4S1.
The Republican nominee also re-
ceived majority of 14,071 over all
other candidates.
