OUR LETTER BOX.
CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE
PEOPLE.
The City Has Property at the Head
of the River.

EDITOR LIGHT:
In Mayor Callaghan'S Sunday letter in
the Express favoring the purchase of the
waterworks, he lays great stress on the
statement that from the head of the
river to Fourth street the water power is
owned by Colonel Breckenridge. This is
not true. There is three-fourths of a
mile river front right at the head of the
river and just below owned by the city,
and besides there are about 10 acres of
fine, high ground in that very locality,
used by the city as rock quarries, owned
by the city, and engineers and surveyors
who have measured same claim it
is even higher than the ground on
which the present reservoir is built.
Again, the Breckenridge property is all
on the east side of the river and there are
miles of property fronting on the west
bank of the river all along from near it's
head, owned by private parties which the
city could buy much cheaper than that
offered by Col. Breckenridge.

A Citizen Writes.
Editor LIGHT:

Editor LIGHT:
SAN ANTONIO, Septem Der %.
The attempt to stock the tax payers
meeting Saturday night was characterlS-
tic of the city administration. 1t is taken
for granted by our mayor and his crowd
that the tax payers of the city are not TO
be trusted to conduct a meeting of any
kind, even when they call the meeting
themselves. The same diSorderly crowd
was on hand that is used in the primaries
west of the river. The majority of them
will never pay a dollar in taxes, except
possibly dog license. The entire city
force was on hand. The street commits
SiOner probably had two-thirds of his
men at the meeting, and was heard
to vote on the craftsmanship. Contrary to
his expectations, however, the meeting
selected for its chairman, gentle
man in sympathy with Its pur-
pose. No blame, however, is to be
attached to Commissioner RusSi for
this, as he and his veterans, trained in
the Aye and Nay business" did their
work nobly and only failed because the
taxpayers were obstinate in their persist
ence to run the meeting instead of turn
ing it over to ward heelerS and strikers"
When this gentleman found that he and
his crowd could not capture the meeting,
he moved to adjourn, thus attempting to
make farce of a meeting called by the
taxpayers to discuss question of vital
Importance TO the city. The chairman
promptly informed our worthy commits
Sioner that he and his crowd could ad-
iOurn if they liked. Never mind Worthy
Fritz, the time is coming and soon too
when the people will do unto you as they
did six years ago-put a man in your
place. You ran behind your ticket then
and you Will do so again for the same
need more time and you will get it.

The COlored Encampment

The street parade OF yesterday morning
had uShered in the first day of the four
days encampment of our colored volun-
teer guards. According to the program
as announced yesterday there was bat
tallion drill and dress parade in the after
noon which was witnessed by a large
number of our white and colOred spect-
ators. When the stern military duty had
released the men, they assembled fin the
upper grounds to listen to the concert by
the bands. At night the ball opened and
dancing continued for many long hours
The camp in itself is nicely laid out and
kept in neat clean condition. The tents
are spread under the shady grove on the
west side of the lake and enclose a large
square, containing numerous benches
To the south of the camp are the long
tables covered by neat wax table cloth
where the soldiers take their meals from
bright clean tin dishes, giving the whole
affair a clean and agreeable appearance
Today is the second day of the encamp-
ment. 1t is being devoted to the military
advancement of the men and regular
routine military work interSpersed by
concerts with a ball at night, is the pro-
gramme of the second day.

MR. sTuRaIs' TRANSFER.
Mr.. Roosevelt was put on the stand and asked
to state the circumstances Of Mr.. Sturgis
transfer to the War department. He said that
MIR. Sturgis was a competent man, he thought,
OF good character and the like, but
was dissatisfied with his position on the
commission and was careless. He was q
square peg in a round hole. There was no
doubt, they thought, that he could do good
work IN another place, Just as Mr.. Morgan had
made good clerk in the mint, though un-
satisfactory in the commission. He thought it
give recommendations to their clerks
when they deserved. The commissioners were
the only ones who could speak for these clerks,
and it would be gross injustice for them to
refuse to give them such Recommendation as
they deserved He said that he believed that
Mr.. Sturgis had been protege Of Mr.. Edger-
ton and that the feeling existed in the Office
that he had been the object of favoritism, and
his position in the commission was not agree
able, but that he was qualified for good service
somewhere else.
Mr.. stone asked If he had recommended the
transfer as q matter of kindness.
Witness said il was.

motion Of Mr.. Bailey. He said that 10 be o
good stenographer was not the only require
ment for the position to which Mr.. Bailey was
promoted. An important thing was that he
should be qualified for the other duties Of the

and although Mr.. Dewitt claimed that he only
kept boarding house, the court
held that his business came within the
meaning of the hotel law, and the case
was continued until Tuesday TO give Mr.. De
Witt an opportunity to procure a license. Mr.
