Ogden Water Situation Was Grossly Exaggerated Investigations Show That Water Situation Not Legitimately Alarming at Any Time and That Outside Insanitary Conditions May lie Responsible for Disease; Dr. Beatty Blames Waste of Artesian Water for Trouble Post Ogdens water situation has been magnified many, many times worse than the true condition, according to investigation carried out by The Post.

This bill had for its object the placing of municipal water supplies under the absolute control of the state board of health in respect to chlorination.

Dr. X. II. Savage announced yesterday that two independent bacteriologists will he brought to Ogden to make exhaustive investigation ns to the source from which the 10 cases of typhoid iu Ogden originated. Samples of water from the Ogden City system were taken by L. II. Male, sanitary engineer for the state board of health, on Sunday, July 1 1. The results show that the water in the Ogden City system is in good condition and was in good condition July 1 1. Some of the samples show a positive reaction, hut this reaction, according to Dr. Ezra Rich of Ogden and T. B. Beatty, state health officer, would not indicate sufficient dosage of bacteria to he at all alarming or injurious. The sample taken by Male at the intake of the north reservoir shows that two portions out of five of this sample show a positive reaction for colon bacilli. The sample taken by Male at 522 17th street shows negative reaction. The sample taken by him at the intake of the south reservoir shows negative reaction. These results, as will be seen by the results of the analysis, show that the water which on that date was being consumed by the public of Ogden was comparatively free from injurious bacteria.

Chicago Sheep Firm Will Fly Saturday Opens Ogden Branch At Union Stockyards Over ML Timpanogos Airways Officials Blind Sample From City System O.K. Sample No. 3 Collected in Ogden City at 35th street and Washington avenue, showed a negative reaction.' Sample No. 4 Was a blind sample taken from Burch Creek district outside of Ogden and showed no colon bacilli, Participation in the annual hike up Mr. Timpanogos In Utah county will lx made Saturday in do luxe style by Rohert II. Hinckley and Dean It. Brim-ha- ll of the Union Incific Airway, Inc., who will fly over the famed peak but carried considerable bacteria. As will be seen from the Barrett list of samples, the water gathered in Ogden City was pure and that on that date no water, other than the well water, was being used in the city system. During the analysis of these samples a POST representative called at Dr. Beattys office and was shown the samples by the state bacteriologist during the course of the test. He questioned Dr. Beatty as to the interpretation to be placed upon the test. Dr. Beatty said that the presence of colon bacilli did not indicate the presence of typhoid infection ; that the fact that such reaction occurs is only evidence of pollution, and is not conclusive proof, due to the fact that the typhoid germ can not be segregated from a water solution. The result of the test should give gratification to every citizen of Ogden because of the results of both tests- being taken at the same time but by different men, and one set of samples having been keyed with blind numbers so that the bacteriologist would have no knowledge, other than chemical knowledge, of the samples he was testing and that the sample collected from water as part of the day's festivities. Pilot Ernie Longbrake will fly the big cabin ship, and it i expected that both Mr. Brimhall and Mr. Hinckley's parents will accompany them on the flight. The annual hike, started several years ago by Eugene L Timpanogos Robert, has become an annual affair that attracts national interest. The hikers will gather at the Brigham Young university campus Thursday evening in a big pep rally, and proceed to Aspen Grove at the foot of Timpanogos on Friday, where a huge bonfire program will be held. Bugles will call the hikers early Saturday morning for the dash up the steep mountain side and their thrilling slide down the glacier on the return trip. Thousands of motorists join in the festivities at Aspen Grove in addition to the hiker. The bonfire is built each year by the Provo Rotary club. - that was being used by the people CollSCUm For Livestock Show Collected from Wheeler canyon on Sun- day, July 7, according to Dr. Bcatty'B analysis, shows Further indications of Ogden's growing importance as a livestock center is noted with the arrival of Russell Wilkins of Chicago to open a branch office of the Ogden Union stockyards for the firm of Merrfon & Wilkins, one of the largest and oldest sheep commission firms in Chicago. Mr. Wilkins, who will remain here in charge of the new office, stated that the large number of sheep handled here earh year, and the atrong competition of the California buyers had prompted the action of his company together with the tendency of the producers to sell on the home market when the price compare favorable with eastern markets.
