THURSDAY, AY,............APRIL l, 1875

SEVERAL papers in this State are
advocating the abolishment Of the
office of County Treasurer. They
argue that the funds could be deposit
ed in banks or with other parties who
would give bonds for the safe keeping
of the funds. 1t would be good
thing for some banks, which would
manage to keep the money SO very
safe that the people would never see
it again. We had rather have the
bonds of Treasurer than those of
banks that would be created for the
solepurpose of becoming the deposit
tory of the county funds. But why
start in so low down the list? There
are any number of banks who would
be too happy to take charge Of the
national funds and the money in the
State Treasury might be deposited and
lost in the same way. Reform such
as doing away with County Treasurers
will materially assist in the work of
robbing the people,

cheap Fuel.

Some experiments were made with
a Wilcox Litter at the Race Grounds
yesterday afternoon, an account of
which will be of interest to a large
proportion of the residents of this val

was to ascertain the cost of supplying
the race track with an abundance of
water. The litter was one of three
thousand gallons per hour capacity,
and the fuel used was the common
coarse brea, which is delivered in the
city at four dollars per ton. In one
hour and forty minutes five thousand
gallons of water were raised seventy
one feet. To run the litter while it
performed this work one hundred and
forty pounds of brea was consumed,
costing twenty-eight cents. This trial
shows that with the Wilcox Litter
one thousand gallons of water may be
raised seventy-one feet at q fuel cost of
less than six cents. Some months
ago the HERALD claimed that this
litter, with brea fuel, was by far the
cheapest and best method by which
our farmers could irrigate their land.
The trial yesterday demonstrates the
correctness Of our position. Brea in
exhaustless quantities is found in diff
ferent parts of this valley, and with
the proper furnaces for burning, it be-
comes the cheapest and most econom-
ical fuel for raising water that can be
had. The results we have given above
were obtained by a fair trial, and the
facts were furnished the HERALD by
Mr.. BURNS, Secretary of the Agricul-
tural Society, who was present and
assisted in making the experiments.
