He knows the rapids and rocks and

for his singular success.
Says Channel Isn't Safe
Captain Guleke, however, does not
regard the river as safe in its present
condition He wants the channel

make danger for shipping at various
places AT present there is before
congress "a prayer or this relief,
signed by hundreds of residents along
the river who are served by boats, and
comparatively little money would be
required " accomplish its proposals.
By blasting out certain rocks and
reefs, the stream would be rendered
safe for boats in hands of less ex-
perienced pilots.
In 1910, Captain Guleke served sur
veyors of the Northern Pacific road in
the work OF locating a proposed line
from Salmon City to lewiston. Inere
were about fifty men engaged in this
work for several months, with 7. H.
Bacon as chief engineer, and some
twenty-five boats were required during
the season TO convey supplies. The sur
vey was completed and the distance
from Salmon 20 Lewiston was found
to be 301 miles, following the river.
ne mean fall of the river for the
entire distance is 1917 feet to the
mile, and the rapidity of the stream
at ordinary stage is about six miles
an hour.
Money was said to have been Cup"
for building this line of road, which
was to have extended from the North

Mont, to Pasco, Wash. But it was

ton reforners at the national capital

ARGUE WATER RATES
Attorneys Will Make Arguments Be-
fore State Corporation Commission
In Richmond Tomorrow = Action
Awaited With Interest.

Arguments will be maGe tomorrow
morning in Richmond before the State
Corporation Commission on the petl-
tons pending for increases and de-
creases Of rates of the Alexandria
Water Company. More than two years
ago citizens numbering about three
hundred petitioned this commission to
decrease the prevailing rates. More
than year later the water company
filed Il petition for permission 10 IN
crease its rates ana in some Instances
double them.
At the hearing in Richmond to-
morrow the city Will be represented
by Attorney s. G. Brent and the petit
TONERS by Attorney Howard ".
Smith. Attorney G. L. Boothe will
represent the water company.
Before the joint session of Council
dissolved last night Attorney Brent
read recommendations which were
made by the engineer oil the State
Corporation Commission to increase
instead of decrease the water rates. 1t
provides for minimum rate Of Sl2
for any one spigot and 10 tapping Tor
one opening less than Sl5. On small
houses the present price for single
opening is Sc. Other prices for spIgots
recommended are as follows: Closets.
81: baths. S4: set tubs. $3.50; wash
basin. $1.50: hose connection, 81.
Under this rate the average house
with bath equipment would cost S2l.'o
a wear. and with stationary wash
tubs would cost $3.50 year.
The citizens of Alexandria are con-
siderably wrought up over the recon-
mcndationS made by the engineer
they having asked for a decrease in
rates and are now confronted with q
proposition to double the rates IN some
instances.

DISTRICT NURSE;
SECOND ONE 4 NECESSITY

Alexandria has from tie first Of
July had the benefit OF the services OF
two district nurses. who are main
tanned by the Alexandria Anti-Tuber
culosis Society which is also an In
structive Visiting Nurses Association
A second nurse is an absolute ncceSsl-
ty on account of the growth of the
city in order to insure proper care Of
infants and orr sick and bedridden.
In the spring of 1911 the first dis
trict nurse was placed in Alexandria
through the generosity and public
spirit Of our representative i'll Con-
grass, Hen. c. {. Carlin. who furnish
ed the Society with an amount cover
ing her salary and equipment for q
wear. and Of the Alexandria Hospital
which gave her room and board Tor
that period. Since that time the dis
trict n,rse has been Supported through
the efforts CT the Ant!-Tu5crculoSis
Society. which has obtained the ncces-
sal.v funds with difficulty owing to its
small membership. Though the city
has given us an appropriation for sev-
eral years and certain individual sub
scriptions have been large, the general
support of our citizens has been lack
mo. and therefore the cost Of this most
important ard beneficial work has
been borne bv a few. The member
shin dues are one dollar a year and
every one who has the welfare and
health Of this community at heart
should at least help "carry on TO the
extent of joining the society. Ih"
minimum cost Of maintinlng two
nurses and furnishing the medical and
other supplies. bed clothes. linen, etc.
necessary in. caring for the sick poor
of the city, for the current fiscal year
will be $4,000.
This society was founded in 1909 to
aid in the crusade against tuberculosis
by Miss Macdonald, who until recent
II has been its president and who has
been largely instrumental in enabling
il 70 broaden its sphere of usefulness
to include district nursing also. Since
it's organization it has been RESPONSE
ble for sending tubercular AleXan-
drians to the State tuberculosis Sana-
torium and maintaining them while
there, The society is fortunate IN re-
tanning the services of Miss Sarah
Shotts. who has been our district nurse
since the inception Of the work ana
has met the great demands upon her
with untiring efficiency and cheerful
ness.
The board feels that in presenting
tha work and needs Of the society
nlainlv to the people of this city II
will be assured of their generous co,
operation. especially at this time wher
sickness is so prevalent and the de
mands upon the nurses are according
iv heavier. The district nurses not onl!
care for the sick but prevent tht
spread of disease by instructing II
bvpienic methods in the home.

Maximum. June 1920,

Typhoid here developed between
June y 2and July 8, and there was
something that occurred for only
short time that caused the outbreak.
il was at its maximum from June 15

proportionately throughout the city.
There were slight eXcesses of the
fever, he declared, where insanitary
boxes existed.

dria on the remarkably small number

the city from wells. He said his hat

already done.
