A rally to 81 followed.
Lightness of demand for corn lowered
demand. July opened y TO 1. off at

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1913-01-23

Commencing at 1870, the following
described property to-wit.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1913-01-23

1t is true that chemical treatment of
infected waters will destroy the dan
gerous bacteria, but water which needs
chemical treatment is not desirable for
use when pure water can in any man
ner be obtained.
Take, for example, the city OF Des
Moines. 1t receives its water from the
Racccon river. Six miles up this
stream from the Des Moines intake, is
the city of Valley Junction, having a
population of $500. The sewage of
Valley junction is emptied into the
Racoon. Filtration of this water is
through sand along the banks of the
Coon and beneath stream itself. But it
cannot in any sense be deemed filtr-
alton. 1t is merely straining OF the
water through sieve and taking out
the coarser particals passing on the
bacterial contents which still must be
killed by chemicals added to the water
at the plant.
1t is more than probable that Des
Moines could receive a much purer
water supply after the manner adopted
at Marshalltown, Boone, Sioux City
and, on a smaller scale, at Atlantic
and Denison. Marshalltown had much
difficulty because Of contamination
from a glucose factory near the Iowa
river. 1t then sought and found very
satisfactory supply by making series of
wells at some distance from the river
in the gravel beds deposed by the river
in former ages. Boone, finding its
artesian head failing, made similar
wells in the gravelly deposits adjacent
to the Des Moines river. Atlantic and
Denison sank wells of large diameter
in the gravel beds of the Boyer and
Nishnabotny. Sioux City made large
group of wells in the alluvial and
gravelly deposits along the river ada
cent to it. All these places have very
satisfactory water supplies.
Just above the city of Des Moines
are broad alluvial and sand deposits,
extending over wide areas, which could
without doubt be made to yield an
abundant crop of reasonably good
water, much better than the strained
sewage from Valley Junction and other
up-river towns.
Many other towns, besides Des
Moines, may very profitably study the
water plans of Marshalltown and
Boone.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1913-01-23

of the cities is discharged directly in
to the lake from which the supply is
drawn. Sewage contamination is in
evitable under such circumstances.
Some of these towns have had serious
trouble from these sources; and par
taking as they all do of the nature of
summer resorts, this subject becomes
of much more than local interest to
these communities. The summer va
cation is now listed among the prom
inent factors in the distribution of
typhoid, and physicians are every
where studying the local conditions
about summer resorts before recon-
mending them to those who seek their
advice.
Clear Lake, Storm Lake, Spirit Lake
and Okoboji and the settlements along
the shores of Okoboji, all empty their
sewage into the lakes adjoining them
and it is only at the expense of some
risk that the waters of these lakes may
be used for domestic purposes.

Rivers and Streams.

The average city in Iowa is supplied
with water from the rivers and streams
upon whose banks they chance to be
located. 1t is the double function of
these streams to furnish water supply
and a sewage outlet to the various
cities through which they flow. In
exchange for the water of doubtful
quality with which they part, they re-
ceive and equal allowance of city waste
and carry it along to the towns below.
In addition to this sewage the farms
adjacent to these streams contribute
their allotment of barn yard drainage
until the water courses become verit-
able sewers connecting the cities with
one another. 1t is only when efficient
filtration plants have been installed
that any of these streams may supply
quality of water that is permissible
for use.
