the sewage system being constructed
for the city, as the same would pollute
the water flow and endanger the health
Of the residents and adjoining commu-
nifty and that the water Of this mountain
stream was thereby polluted by human
excreta as to render it dangerous to
health, and unfit for use by either
man or beast.
! ;. Plaintiff further alleges that the Of
ais Of the defendant city were duly
-, ~ ified not to use Silver creek to car
ouy Of the city's sewage, but that sep-
ms tanks in connection with filtering
,.,eds might be easily constructed, which
would allow the bacteria to destroy
practically all the solid matter; thus
reducing the contaminating and disease
germs TO a minimum.
"The defendant city admits that no.
tice was given as alleged, but deny that
conditions have been rendered worse
by the construction Of their sewage
system, or that the health Of the com
munity has thereby been endangered,
and further, the cost Of building sep
tic tanks would incur burden which
the city was unable to meet.
"There was testimony tending to
show that epidemics of typhoid and
other intestinal diseases, which have de.
veloped in Eugene, Salem, Oregon City
and other towns and districts Of the
state, have been caused by conditions
similar to those at silverton, and that
the sewage system as now operated
there as well as numerous other places,
is nuisance, obnoxious to morals and
dangerous to public health.
I "It is made the duty of the State
Board Of Health to examine into the
sanitary conditions Of all cities, dis.
tricts and communities Of this state;
and power is vested in the board TO OF.
der nuisances, or the cause Of any spe-
cial disease or mortality, to be abated
and removed. After considering all the
testimony and law bearing on this cause
and believing It to be the duty Of the
State Board Of Health to strictly en-
force the law in every section of the
state, tho court is of the opinion that a
nuisance exists, as charged in the com.
plant, and tho same should be abated,
and Il is 80 ordered, with costs to Meth
er party"

Judge Galloway this afternoon decid.
ed the suit Of the State Board Of
Health against the City of Silverton in
favor of the plaintiff, and made the
order enjoining the city from emptving
its sewage into Silver creek.
Recently, when the city of silverton
was inaugurating new sewer system,
it was warned by the State Board of
Health not to dump its sewage in ~
creek, but to make some other a 90

It is now up to it, provided the supreme
court sustains Judge Galloway, which
it is presumed it will do, to overhaul
its system, and provide for taking care
Of its sewage in some other manner than
emptying it into Silver creek.
May Affect other Cities.
The decision is far.reaching in it's
effects, and may mean that all the
cities now using streams as the dumping
grounds for their sewage will have to
make other arrangements. II may mean
that all the towns along the Willamette
river may have to change the method
Of disposing Of their sewage, and Flu.
gene, Albany, Salem and practically ov'
cry city and town in the state will be
affected by IL.
To make these changes would cost
a goodly sum, but II would be worth It.
Under the present system the streams
Of tho state are made the open sewers
Of the communities along them, to the
danger Of health and il is high time
the whole system be changed The cost
while great, will be counterbalanced by
less typhoid fever and reduced doctor
and undertaking bills. However, IL is
possible, to provide septic tanks in con
nection with present sewer systems, and
the expense can thus be kept within
reaching distance. The suit is one OF
statewide Importance, and Judge Gal
loway in passing upon II said;

all those silly tales that are circu--
lated"
AS the prince is the second son,
the ancestral castle of Tresternitz,
near Marburg, Austria, goes to his
elder brother, and, as Pere Freese
has gold and silver mines on his es-
tate and can probably afford to buy
a brand new castle for his daughter
whenever they choose to settle down,
the rumor was generally credited.
Miss Freese is one of the beauties
of the West. For many years the
Freese family lived in Guayamas,
Mexico, where they own gold and
silver mines of fabulous wealth.
Freese is reported to be richer than
Dan Burns, whose mines in Candel-
aria were about the superlative in
that kind of property.
When she weds her prince, who is
young and good looking, Miss Freese
will rank the former Gladys Wander
bilt, who is now Countess Szchenyi,
and will take precedence over her
at the court of Vienna. !

This is vital question. If bonds
of such small demonstrations add
ing $50 and 500, were issued, then
the working men and women would
take the entire issue. But the bank

masses to buy the bonds unless the

Therefore, our municipal bonds are

Pitcher Ables Has
Tremendous Hands
Oakland Southpaw Can Easily
Palm an Ordinary
Baseball.

LOS ANGELES, July 19.-Harry
Ables. star southpaw of the Oaklands
and the man whose work last year
the league and was instrumental in the
oaks winning the championship, has
wonderful pair Of hands
Ables is a big man physically and
undoubtedly possesses the largest hands
Of any pitcher in the business. An or
binary baseball can easily be hidden in
the hand of the big sOuthpaw, and it is
to the size and strength of his hands
that Ables attributes much Of his pitch
ing ability.
Along with his big hands Ables' wrists
are heavy and strong, so that a delivery
that would ordinarily weaken the arm Of
a less strong man has no terrors for
him, and if the condition of his hands
and wrists have anything to do with
his period - service as an active
pitcher, then he is due for many more
years in baseball
Many clever twirlers have gone bad
and been compelled to lessen their
work because they had not the strength
to get the ball away with the neces-
sary snap of the wrist without firing,
his work is easy for him.
As the Coast League can boast a
pitcher possessing the biggest hands, at
the same time the player with the small
est hands is in the organization, Billy
kenWOrthy, OF the Sacramento club, be-
ing barely able to grip a baseball AS
Ables' hands are an aid to him, Ken
WOrthys short fingers are a detriment
to him. Many a hard-hit drive that
| would be handled with ease by an ordi-
nary fielder has to be handled with ex-
traordinary care by the Sacramento star,
as a baseball is to him as big as an in
door baseball would be in the hands of
the big Oakland southpaw.
