". P. TO BEGIN ON
ROUNDHOUSE

Material for the new w. P. round
house is arriving daily, seven carloads
having been received thus far. 1t is
expected that construction will be com.
menced about the 18th of June. The
work will be under the immediate su-
pervision of j. E. Pohlman, who had
charge of the erection of the buildings
at Wendover.
Tracklaying has reached a point
about 40 miles west of Winnemucca,
and is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. Work on the line building to
town from the east was abandoned at
Rocky Point, nearly opposite Battle
Mountain, in order that all material
might be used on the line to the west,
which still has more than $50 miles to
complete.
At Dutchman Well the company
has sunk a well. While an abundant
flow of water was encountered at 32
feet, boring was continued until at
present a depth of ITO feet has been
attained.

EBBETT & co. MAKE AN
UP-TO-DATE IMPROVEMENT

The business of Ebbett & Co. has
grown to such proportions that the
firm found it necessary to purchase a
McCaskey account register, the first
one to be brought to town.
The register resembles miniature
desk, on the table of which is an in
dex, each customers account being
numbered. The top is arranged like a
portfolio, each section being numbered.
By reference to the index, at a glance
the section in which the debtor's ac-
count is kept may be ascertained and
instantly referred to. AS the accounts
are always posted, the register is a
great time saver. 1t has a stained
white oak case and presents hand
some appearance.

NOVEL DISPOSITION
OF SEWAGE
(By III. Warren.)

Among the new and scientific means,
the following, which is as far as prac
tieable stripped of scientific terminolo-
gy, has been adopted by many cities
and smaller communities for disposing
of sewage, and is adopted by armies in
the field:
The principle consists of placing well
diluted sewage under conditions where
it is practically excluded from air As
soon as this is done innumerable swarms
of bacteria depelop in the mass, which
unlike the higher plant life do not take
their oxygen from the air, but from the
oxygen contained in the dead vegetable
and animal material contained in the
sewage. Chemically the molecule or
proteid of living matter of any kind
contains large quantities of oxygen,
and the bacteria which are known as
anaerobic (meaning bacteria that live
without air), are able to attack and
break up this molecule and liberate the
oxygen. The result of this process is
harmless to animal life and free from
offensive odor. The residue from the
tank or vat can be directed into a run
ming stream without injury to fish, and
without interfering with the clearness,
purity or flavor of the water. In fact,
this residue is water of surprising
purity, much more free from impurity
than well, spring or river water. It's
purity is due to the elimination of all
vegetable and animal matter by the
destructive agency of the anaerobic
bacteria, which do the work with a
thoroughness that is marvellous. These
bacteria, of which it would take about
one million to cover the top of pin
head, die in oxygen, but thrive on ear
bonic acid gas, so that the vat or tank
must, when doing it's best work, be
kept Theoretically sealed. When sew
age is directed into the tank or vat
the germiation of the bacteria at once
commences and the liquid passes from
one portion of the vat or tank to anoth-
er, where it is again attacked by the
bacteria before passing away, when
practically all solids are consumed,
eaten up and eradieated, leaving to
pass off nothing but eolorless fluid,
in short chemically pure water. The
bacteria themselves die and are con-
sumed by the geneation which follow.
The life of the bacteria under favor
able conditions is limited to one day,
but while living the great result of eli
mination of all the solids contained in
the sewage is fully attained and the re-
sulting residue is mere liquid, free
from odor and suitable for irrigation,
and in fact much safer to drink or for
domestic use than the flow of most
streams.

WINNEMUCCANS PAY VISIT
TO CALDWELL. IDAHO

E. A. Stauffer, Dave Staunton and Ed
Smith arrived Sunday evening in Cali-
well from Winnemucca, Nevada. The
trip was made overland in an automo-
bile of the Toledo-Pope manufacture.
The machine is 65H. p. and weighs
4,600 pounds. 1t has 19 inches clear
age; that means that the framework
is that many inches above the ground,
thus enabling the machine to pass over
the ordinary obstacles to be found on
mountain roads. The ordinary sage
brush has no terrors for the driver of
this vehicle. These gentlemen had
business Of Importance in Boise and
several other towns in western Oregon
and concluded to make the trip in the
auto. Mr.. Stauffer is one of the heavi-
est dealers in cattle and horses IN
southern Oregon and northern Nevada
and is well known to Caldwell business
men. Mr.. Staunton is prominent
business man and politician Of his
home state, having represented Hum
boldt county in the legislature two
years ago and made the speech nomi
mating Senator Nixon for the U. s.
senate. There were much older men
in the legislature, but none who were
on to the curves more than fDavc, !"
as he is familiarly called. Mr.. Staun-
ton buys nearly all the wool in his
part of the state. Mr.. Smith, who had
charge of the throttle and knows all
the kinks of getting every pound of
pull that it is capable of furnishing,
and he owns two of the big cars. The
party left Monday afternoon for Boise
