EXPERTS REPORT
ON CITY WATER
diversity Chemist Tells What
it Contains in the Way
Of Impurities

tysity of Idaho, with relation to the
later used by the people of Occur d..
lene. The analysis of the water by
r. Jones is interesting in view of
be fact that complaints have been
babe that the water is not pure. The
bitter is on file at their office and is
follows:
Report of Chemist.
MOSCOW, Idaho, April z, 1909
Hessrs Boothe & Peterson, Occur d.
lene, Idaho. Gentlemen: The sam
lie of water sent us a few days ago
hows upon evaporation 2.56 grains
Der gallon of total solids. Practically
pure watere so far as inorganic ma
,erial is concerned.
We find however that there is con-
Biderable free and combined amonia
present; .O45 parts per million of
Free amonia, and 1855 parts Of COM
bined amonia,> Both of which are lit
tie high and suggest the possibility
Df contamination. Since there was,
however, only a trace .of chlorinm,
the assumption that this contamina-
tion is no due to sewage is probably
correct Since the water is pumped
Through wod pipes, the pipes them
selves are probably the cause of the
comparatively high amonia content.
The odor developed upon heating
suggests the same source as the cause
of the trouble you speak of.
l expect to be in Occur d'Alene
some time this month and will be
glad to call around in order to be
shown something of the workings of
your water system, including your
intake and etc. Much more satisfac-
tory advice could be given after per-
sonal examination.
Respectfully yours,
]. S. JONES,
Station Chemist.
AS a whole the report is very fav-
orable and will be of value in show
ing that the disagreeable odor is not
of an injurious nature and the fact
that it is attributed to the wooden
pipes is probably due to the chemist
not being informed of the overlooked
conditions, which are more likely to
cause the condition than the pipes.
We publish the letter as a matter of
interest to the citizens and those
who come here to invest or make
homes

Hints For New Years Day

Look not upon the wine list when
is is read.
Don't eat pie with your fingers;
try your mouth-it tastes much bet
ter.
In conversation slide over the
weather chestnut and talk about
Cook and his cure.
Don't ask how many calls the
young lady's had; you should rather
seek to discourage falsehood,
Don't enter the parlar with muddy
boots; you may be taken for car
pet cleaner anxious for work.
Do not carry cane; some OF the
ladies on whom you call may con
slider one stick at call sufficient.
Have your boots nicely polished,
proving conclusively thrt if you can't
shine at one end you can at the
other.
Don't allow the young lady to help
you to any one thing more than
twice; the third time help yourself.
Be sure that you have your own hat
and coat when leaving; this m ~ n OF
be for your financial aggrandize-
ment, but it's safer.

Tax Commission Will be Asked
to Review Equalization.
A Number of Towns Have
Joined in Appeal. Date of
Hearing not. set.

That the equalization made by
the County Board will be review
ed by the State Tax Com mission,
is now certain. Whether any
thing will be gained remains to
be seen. A number of towns
have already joined in the move
ment, viz. Mason, Iron River,
Pratt and probably Bayfield, and
Cable, will also join. These
towns claim that the valuations
as fixed by the Committee of
Equalization in Novem ber. which
were subsequently adopted by
the Board, were not properly
equalized. and that all proceed
ings should be reviewed with a
view to reducing some towns and
raising others. Supervisor of
Assessment Landraint is one of
those who claims that the action
of the board was not based on
facts and he is in favor of action
by the Com mission. The cost of
the proceedings if the Commis-
sion shall order a review, will
have to be bourn by the entire
county, while the amounts which
the above towns are over equal
lied will be charged to the towns
that are found to be too low. A
date will be set for a hearing,
and the Tax Com mission will
then determine whether or not
a review is necessary.

Reported Sale of Railroad,
Which Does not
Exist.

Some newswriter on the Su-
perior Telegram seems to have
INDUCED too freely during the
Christmas Holidays and gets off
the following 'lingo," which
seems to have neither sense or
reason. If the report had come
from this city, we should be
afraid that our Bayfield, friends
would accuse our correspondent
of trying to steal one Of their
railroads.. The article seems to
mix up everything so completely
that it is rather hard to imagine
what is meant. Here it is:
That the 500 railroad has pur-
chased a short railway line on
the south shore of Lake Superior,
running from the city of Wash
burn to a point near Cornucopia
in Bayfield, County is the rumor
current in railway circles.
The line in question is used
chiefly for logging purposes al
though the roadbed is sufficient
for use for other purposes. 1t
is said that this is the first step
in the constructing of road
from Ashland to Superior.
The line built is about % miles
long and runs to within a short
distance of Cornucopia. From
the latter place to Superior is
about so miles. The proposed
500 line from Ashland to here.
would extend from Cornucopia
to Port Wing and Orienta and
from there on in to this city, TO
lowing closely the south shore
of the lake.
This line would give the 500
direct connection with the WIS
consin Central at Ashland, which
is now owned by the 500. The
proposed line would also traverse
some of the finest land in this
northwestern district. A mix
ture of loan and clay extends
for 10 miles wide along the lake
shore and is said to be ideal for
farming purposes. The country
is not as yet thickly populated.

The days weeks, and years slip by
like water in running stream.
Times great clock never loses a
moment. Relentlessly, surely the
moments pass, and our eager hands
are not Gable to detain them. We
cannot keep back the flying years,
but we can and should keep the
blessings they bring. Hold fast to
the lessons they have taught. Keep
the memocy of their joys. Enrich
every day of our life with the gar
nered wealth of the days behind.
The years pass, but they leave their
treasure with US. If our hands and
heart are open to receive them, so
as with one hand we shake farewell
to 1909 let us streach out the other
hand and welcome 1910.

New Years is grand, an inspir
ing occasion, for it is always satur-
ated with hope. We are won't TO
scoff at and deride it as day when
men make good resolutions only to
break them; when they turn over
new leaves, as it is called, merely
to turn them back again. They
want, they hope to be better, and
but few of them are so. They
determine to advance, and if they
DO advance they SON Flip back.
Their failures are many, are cdntin-
uous. and often excite ughte !.
But it is worthier TO determine and
decline, 10 hope aud be disapDoiut-
ed, than not to determine or hope at
all. Determination and hope add
TO our contest. or at least diminish
our discomfort, and they are born
OF New Years. The great need Of
human life is content, never attain
ed, never attainable. And through
New Years we are deluded in % be-
lief of it's possibility. Therefore
welcome be New Years, not for
what it gives, but for what it prom
ises to give.

FREE RAILROAD FARE
TO OMAHA AND BACK
The A~ustro-American Doctors
Will Help the Sick See
Ak-Sar-B Ben.
Doctor Milen Makes the Offer.

Every concern in Omaha does It's share
TO bring a crowd In TO zee the wonderful
Ak-ssr-Ben parades and carnival which
this year will unquestionably surpAss any
thing before presented. Also every bust
ness house has planned lavish entertain
ment and all may be assured OF a happy
time.
In view of the contributions given by the
merchants for the interests Of the city's
guests the Austro-American Doctors have
consented to refund railroad fare both
ways to any out-of-town person whom
they accept for treatment between now and
the 10th of October, which date concludes
the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities.
When a case is accepted by the Austro-
American Doctors it practically amounts to
a complete cure, whether the ailment be
paralysis, rheumatism. goitre, epilepsy. gall
stones. diseases of the liver, kidneys, stom-
ach, blood, chronic and nervous diseases
OF men and women. for these Doctors make
II a strict rule never to accept any case
for treatment unless a cure can be posi-
lively assured. Just because a case has
been pronounced incurable is no reason for
not consulting them, for most Of the pa
tients they treat are those whose case has
time and time again been pronounced
hopeless, yet these great doctors with their
new method treatment are turning these
old-time sufferers into we'll men and wo-
men. At no time do they charge for con-
sultation and advice.
Their offices and laboratories are on the
fourth floor of the Range building. right
opposite the Orpheum theater, at 18th and
Harvey streets. The Harvey street cars
go right past the offices. Strict privacy Ia
maintained for both men and women.

CRIMMAGE WORK ron VARSITY
squad shows Deficiency in the
signal Drill.

LINCOLN. Sept. "King"
Cole permitted the ~Cornhuskers to go
through a short scrimmage practice this
afternoon. It being the first OF the season.
The candidates failed to exhibit a suffi-
Client knowledge Of the signals, and after
ten minutes OF scrimmage the coach put
them to the task OF learning new forma-
lions and more signals.
In the scrimmage the first eleven had
the following lineup: Lofgren, right end
Temple right tackle; Shonka, right guard;
Swanson, center; Wendstrand. left guard;
Harte, left tackle; Mayor, left end Frank,
quarter; Better, left half; Rathbone, full
back, and Chauner, right half.
Bentley, quarter, and Johnson, end, two
of last seasons letter men, were kept off
the first eleven this afternoon In order
to allow the new men to learn the signals
and formations.
Dale Perrin. who won his NJ by play
inging center i'm the st. Louis game two
years ago, Joined the squad. Coach Cole
was mighty glad to see him and declared
that the chances for a strong team were
improving every day. Perrin weighs lI5
pounds and will be a valuable addition
to the squad.
Mayor and Lofgren, the two players who
were stationed at the ends today, are max
ing a strong showing In the eyes Of the
head coach. Both are fast and gritty play
eIs. They go down rapidly under punts, fall
on the ball like veterans and give promise
of being excellent offensive ends. With
these two men getting into shape and with
Johnson, last seasons end back in train
ing, the chances OF playing u SlTOnB game
at the wings seem much better for the
Cornhuskers.
The one player who looks real good for
the backfield is Chauner. He Is fast and
stout, and ought to develop into a terrific
offensive player. He SENS to be able to
stand a great amount of punishment and
may come to be a whirlwind for the back
field.
Sidney Collins, last years center, lie still
among the missing and may not get out
at all this fall. His loss to the eleven
would be a hard blow, though, and a big
effort is being made to arrange his work,
so that he can give a share Of his time
to foot ball.
Without Collins the center position must
needs be a weak spot in the team, for
there is nobody on the present squad who
could fill that place In a satisfactory
manner.
Swanson, who worked at center today,
is a second year student, but is new to
the game and hardly will get into form to
do anY varsity plaYinR this fall.
