Various Recommendations
Made Yesterday by State
BacteriOIOgist Beckwith
Will be Followed.
NOT NECESSARY TO
CLOSE UP BINGHAM
Speeding Up or Work at
Thorn Hollow; Boil Wa
tern Now.


As long as any water is taken di-
rect from the river at Thorn Hollow
the water should be treated with
chloride of lime as it passes through
the gate house.
Until arrangements are made for
treating the wafer IL will he wtsII TO
boil all water used for drinking pur-
poses i'm Pendleton. IL is only neces-
sary to bring the water to a boil 10
free it OF germs and the .'boiIed'' ef-
feet may be partly eliminated by
pouring the water from ore vessel
to another number of times. AFTER
boiling. so as TO allow the air to per-
meate il.
With certain changes suggested and
with the chemical treatment OF wa
ter in the pool at bingham It will not
be necessary to close that resort. The
closing of the resort would not me-
cessariIy insure a good water supply
without treatment as there are other
possible sources of contamination
aside from Bingham.
The above is fairly good summary
Of the facts as discovered yesterday

written report to the city and this
report will probably arrive early this |
week. In the meantime he outlined
plans for treating the water, going
on the assumption that there is
menace in the use of water direct
rom the river. kGNM
Won't Close Bingham.
Through recommendations made
by Mr.. Beckwith steps will
be taken at Bingham to fully remove
my possible danger of sewage from
he toilets emptying into the river.
He will also have the water in the
,col treated before being emptied and -.
ays that with this treatment there
will be scant danger from the pool :

1t will be unnecessary to close

essor Beckwith. Should the resort
