To forestall any typhoid epidemic
with which the city may be threatened
on account of an impre water supply,
the city water commission is this af-
ternoon considering the matter of us
ing chloride of lime to purify every
gallon of water that enters the mains.
II is possible that DR.. ]. A. Best, who
is a member of the commission, may
be sent over to North Yakima to make
a first hand Investigation of this
method of preventing disease.
The matter was frst brought to
the attention of the commission by
DR.. f. w. Vincent, local manager OF
the Pacific Power & Light Co. which
corporation owns the North Yakima
water plant and recently installed APP
paratus for the using of chloride of
lime. So successful was this method
in the Washington city Of combating
typhoid germs that an epidemic of the
fever was absolutely checked, accord
ing to reports, the death rate being
reduced from four or five daily to
none.
1t is pointed out here that during
the summer months the present source
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-08-08
WATER BOARD may USE CHLORIDE
OF Lime TO PREVENT TYPHOID

of water supply is more or less con-
taminated. 1t is necessary to pump
directly from the river to the wells
and the river water is contaminated
by the presence of many campers
along its banks in the mountains and
by the practice of Indians and whites
of swimming in the river. The use of
chloride of lime would not entail
much expense. it is said, ten ponds
of the chemical being sufficient to
purify one million gallons of water.
The method of use purifies the water
in the wells before it is taken into
the mains.
The commission has on hand today
a letter from a government expert
which contains considerable data re-
arding chloride of lime as a water
purifier. The apparatus at North va
kima was installed by men from the
navy department and the report shows
that many cities of the United States
are adopting similar methods of pre-
venting typhoid epidemics. Though
the chemical destroys typhoid and
other harmful bacilli in the water, it
does not itself injure the water for
domestic uses.

AVIATOR BRYANT Who CARRIED
EAST OREGON|ANS TO ATHENA
IS KILLED AT VICTORIA, B. c.

Johnny Bryant, the aviator who
flew here and at Athena last spring
in company with Alys Mckee who
afterwards became his wife, met death
at Victoria Wednesday evening while
giving an exhibition. News of his
death Is regretted here as he was a
plucky aviator and made friends by
his flying exhibitions in this country.
1t was Bryant who flew from Pendle-
ton to Athena one evening during the
Caledonian picnic and carried with
him the Athena bundle of East Ore
gonians. On the following Sunday
he and Miss Mckee gave an exhi-
tition here. When Miss Mckee flew she
was obliged to alight In a .plowed field
north of the river and the aeroplane
was later taken back to the Roundup
grounds by Bryant.

toria, B. c., tells of the death of Bry-
ant.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The pres

The United States wants peace but
the army and navy are ready If any
overt act by Huerta or his partisans
causes war. Reports on the presi-
dents desk show this. Secretary Dan

an hour, and personally assured him
the navy is ready. Another twenty
four hours may bring the gravest de-
velopments. The president discussed
with Bryan the reports from o.
Shaughnessey but no decision was
reached how to reply to Huerta's s
stand regarding the visit of Lind.
They have asked O'Shaughnessey for
a further report. The president is
considering the publication of Lind's
complete instructions as soon as he
reaches Vera Cruz, believing 1t will
show how disinterested the United
States has been.
