another Interesting Communi-
cation From A. F. Parker
EXPLAINS THE SYSTEM
Grangeville in Bad Sanitary
Condition at Present,

The largest septic tank sysetm for
the disposal of the sewage in the
United States is that designed for use
IN the city of Baltimore, where purif-
cation is intended to prevent contami-
nation in the oyster beds of Chesa-
peake bay: The expert commission
advising this system consisted of three
most eminent men in sanitary engi-
neering; Herring, Gray and Stearns.
There are object lessons nearer
home. The oldest septic tank system
on the Pacific coast is at Vancouver
b. G. 1t has been in use twelve years
without any nuisance arising from its
use. Indeed, it is constructed Of con-
crete and the arched roof is covered
with grass growing on the fifteen
inches of soil. 1t lies in the cross
street approaching the bay,
with handsome residences on either
side. Visitors passing would take it
for small ornamental park, and that
is just what it is to all external senses.
Vancouver is adding septic tauks from
time to time to keep pace with the
growth of the population. They have
a pair for every 5000 people.
The object Of the septic tank is to
perform only one function. More
should not be expected of it. Its
function is the breaking down, or
liquifying of solids, more or less we'll
according to the design and character
Of the sewage. 1t is only one step in
the three steps of publication, but it
is the biggest step.
The three steps in publication are
digesting the solids (mastication.)

The first alone will give approxi-

the double contact bed is used, ther

will pass the effiuent 80 per cent pure
The effluent is still pretty dirty water
and then comes the final Filtration
which removes the final ten per cen
of foreign and harmful matter.

system ''simon pure" or make it pota-
able for human beings. In general,
the requirement is for a reduction of
the ofiensiveness of the effiuent, and
that is most satisfactorily accomplish
ed by the septic tank.
These matters were all thoroughly
threshed out in the discussion with the
council and engineer Roberts four
years ago. The situation and possible
requirements We're gone into very thor
oughly, and the city council asked Mr..
Roberts to omit the Contact beds as
an unnecessary adjunct of the pro
posed Grangevilled septic tank sewer
system. The addition of the contact
bed for Grangeville may, or may not
be needed in the final disposition Of
the sewage depending on the degree
Of publication demanded of or by the
city. Certainly the ultimate degree
of publication will never be needed or
required.
The contact bed is simply basin,
not necessarily water-tight, filled with
porous material: clinkers, brick bats,
gravel or broken stone, which is thor
ughly aerated on withdrawing the
sewage, and atiording a Judgment and
point of attachment for the aerobatic
bacteria to colonize.
A recent meeting Of the American
Society of Municipal Improvements
affirms the growing approval among
engineers of bacterial publication Of
sewage, of which the septic tank is a
part. The septic tank system is in
successful operation for many years in
hundreds of small towns through the
eastern states:
AS to ways and means of construct
ing such system in this city, the cost
is met by charge against abutting
property. The estimated cost in 1905
was $35, 1000. Owing to the increased
price of all material and labor enter
ing into the construction of sewer
system, we would probably have to
add 20 per cent to this estima ate.
The property owners have five years
in which to pay their five annual as
sessments to defray the cost.
The sanitary condition of this city
is very bad-so bad as to be abso
lutely dangerous to human health
There is no remedy but the installa
ton of sewer system Of some kind
The cost should not frighten any one
The cost of doctors bills and funera
expenses during an epidemic vii
cover an almighty lot Of sewer assess
ments. l say it in all seriousness
That Grangeville is not a sanitary
town, and that its population is sub
ject to an epidemic of sickness at an
moment. We have thus far beer
very fortunate in escaping such, blu
it is not well to tempt fate or fortun
or good luck too far. We need
sewer system. Let the citizens O
each ward instruct their nominees 70
city offices to Immediately proceed
with the initiatory work for the cor
struction of a sewer system.

MADE Al PIECE OF MONEY

Harry Gesas, manager Of the Ken
lucky Liquor company, closed up his
place Of business on Saturday night
at twelve o'clock.
He reports that his sales for the
day were 5000, and that 100000 OF
this was profit. He has been in bust
ness at the same place for four years
and in reviewing the matter he said
that he lost 100000 the first year
he conducted the saloon, and since
that had made good profits, amount
ing in the four years to $4,000. 90.
and that the business the past year
had netted him about thousand dol
lars a month. I.
Last Saturday he said he had full

Everybody had come through, well

NEWSPAPER PROGRESS

We are pleased to note that several
papers in eastern Idaho have announ-
ced their intention to place their sub
scriptions on the cash basis the frst
OF the year.
This is a step in the right direction,
and one that will afford relief to the
well to do people who really furnish
the means to build up newspapers be-
cause they pay their share. Under
the credit system they pay their share
and the shares of others who 40 not
nav at all or who defer the payment
SO long that their patronage Is loss
to the p blisher.
One newspaper cannot well make
this radical change alone, for the
same reason that one merchant can
not eliminate the credit business, but
il all could make the change at the
same time, both the business men and
the customers could easily adapt them
selves to 1t.
The cash system for newspaper sub
scriptions will eliminate much annoy
ance to patrons and publishers alike,
and 1t Is the purpose OF the RepuDll-
can to adopt that system for 1910.
