HUNTING SEASON BRINGING
OUT WILD TALES OF CHASE

Here's a real hunting yarn, as
told by ]. A. Parker, of Bly,, accord
ing to the klamath Falls Herald.
While hunting near his place last
Thursday, Parker said, he saw a
coal black buck. The deer was small
in size and the velvet on its horns
was also coal black. But Parker
did not shoot the remarkable deer
not then, at least.
Later, he saw a fine big buck, Of
the ordinary or garden variety,
which he brought down with his
trusty rifle. Walking over to his
victim, Parker saw the brush NOV
ing a short distance away from
where he stood. Grasping his rifle,
he walked over to investigate. He
was amazed to find the black deer
just kicking its last kick.
Parker had killed both deer with
one shot, and he had not even seen
the black deer when he fired.
Step right up, sporstmen, and
let's hear you beat this one.

CITY WATER SUPPLY
is LOW: CHLORINE
FOUND NECESSARY

Ashland citizens are again clamor-
ing about the city water being doc
tored with chlorine, which has been
unusually evident during the past
weekend.
Chlorine has been used in the wa
ter continually for over year, with
the amount cut down during the
summer to a minimum, according to
Water Superintendent Hosler, who
has charge of the chlorine plant.
The reason given for the great
amount of chlorine in the water the
past few weeks, is that the water at
the upper intake is so low that all
the gas released is drawn into the
pipes, whereas during the spring,
when the water was high, quite a
bit of the gas escapes, as only
small portion of the water goes into
the water mains. 1t is quite notice
able that the chlorine is much
stronger when the upper half Of the
city is sprinkling than when the
lower part of the city is using the
water This is explained by Mr..
Hosler, who states that the upper
intake must supply all the water for
the higher part of the city, while
the lower part is supplied from the
lower intake where there is larger
storage of water.
The last report on the condition
of the water showed that, while not
Of the highest possible quality, yet
is is not considered as being really
bad. Tests of water taken from the
creek. however, show that 1t is not
fit for human consumption, mad
should not be used with first boiling.
When asked what caused the wa
ter to become infested with the dis
germs, Mr.. Hosler
stated that he was informed by the
state authorities that picnicking and
parties above the intakes
were responsible for the condition
Of the water. This was the reason a
guard was appointed some weeks
ago to keep picnic parties out of the
upper reaches of the canyon during
The summer, and Mr.. Hosler says he
believes guard should be kept n
The canyon during all that part of
the year when camping and picnick-
Ing are possible. He further stated
It would be a profitable Investment
to fence In the water shed and keep
out Of 1t all persons except those
having business there.

such was the case. When Septem-
