Paymaster Sexton. of the contracting
firm Of Edwards & Walsh, called at THE
ARGUS to relieve the long suffering public
by the announcement that paving opera
tions on Moline avenue east of Thirty
eighth street will be resumed in the
morning, and sufficient forces will be put
on to finish the work in the shortest pos.
sible time. So mote it be.
Superintendent Murrin succeeded Sat-
urdaY afternoon in making the connec'
tions for the 10 inch water main on Third
avenue and Twentieth street, and in get
ting the first few sections of pipe in good
shape to proceed rapidly this morning,
but during Saturday night private sur
face pipe broke and flooded the excsvs-
ton so that it was necessary to put in al
day yesterday pumping out and getting
in sh ape to resume work this morning.
Davenport has dug up another faul
with the street railway syndicate. The
Democrat says: "There is great dea
of energetic complaint to the effect thai
the steps on the street cars here are alto
eether too high for the comfort or con
venience of passengers. There is toe
much truth in the fault that is found, but
it does not seem to be an easy matter
now to remedy the fault. If the motor
mechs nism is to be kept off the grounG
and out of the mud the cars must be sci
high. In some towns the steps are low
and the motors are fairly dragged over
the ground"

HOW THE CANAL WOULD HELP
Catching Visitors on Their Way to tn
Worlds Fair at Chicago.

Catching Visitors on Their Way to the
Worlds Fair at Chicago.
James b. Scott was of the opinion that
the Chamber of Commerce was doing all
that very we'll could be done to bring out
Pittsburg and give it greater place in the
business and social world. He thought
this body was pushing the Lake
Erie Canal project as fast as
it could be pushed The completion of this
project, he thought. would be the greatest
thing that ever could happen for the city.
He believes some special efforts should be
made to catch the Worlds Fair visitors,
and said that free bridges and the opening
of Arsenal Park would greatly add to the
prosperity of the city. He continued: 'The
Chamber of Commerce is moving as fast as
it can. we have a committee acting with
the Worlds Fair Commission for the State,
and will very likely ask railroads to give
stop-overs here on all excursion as well as
regular tickets so that the Thousands that
go to the Columbian Exposition will have a
chance to see Pittsburg. One thing that
would greatly aid in booming the city would
be the circulation of the book recently
gotten out by the Chamber of Commerce on
Pittsburg and her industries.
''The Chamber of Commerce Is conserve
tive body and has accomplished for Pitts
burg nearly all she enjoys. These move

ASKING FOR sUGGEsTI0NR
The Chamber Of Commerce Wants to He
From the PeoDle.

The Chamber Of Commerce Wants to Hear
From the People.
George A. Kelly says the Chamber of
Commerce will do all that can be done for
the city, and especially invites people to
make suggestions to that body. He said:
"The Chamber OF Commerce is an organize
tion in which every industry is represented,
and any citizen through any member has the
right to offer any resolution he pleases, and
it will be acted upon. The idea of broaden
ing the scope of the city is subject too
large for one to talk on upon a moments
notice. believe, however, that much good
could be accomplished by good, honest
effort.
IT would not, however, advocate the
idea of an exchange. That has been tried
and failed. Nearly all our industries are
of manufacturing character. There is not
enough produce handled to make it a pay
ing institution. Then we have the tele-
phone now, and as the idea of an exchange
is simply place where men can meet and
carry on their business transactions, a
person can now catch his man bv telephone
and not lost so much time. There may be o
time when an exchange would be of advan-
tage, but it is not now."

The sudden change in the weather was
the talk of the town yesterday. From

Those who had loaned their winter coats to

having been preceded by several days of
balmy spring weather. Even the little
sparrows sought their winter quarters and
were not to be found chattering in the caves

heavy frost will cover the ground this morn

THE COST OF LIVING

Must Be Reduced, According to Ex. Post
master Larkin-Economy in Municipal
Government and the Reduction Of Tax
alton Suggested Aids to Prosperity.
John B. Larkin, ex-Postmaster of Pitts
burg, said: "The character and cost of
city government has, in my judgment, much
to do with its progress and development. I
mean, of course, where other things are
equal This city is at that point now that
its growth may be checked by reckless ex-
penditure and unnecessary public improve
ments, and 1 do not know anything that
would more certainly contribute to its
growth and progress than some assurance
that the character of municipal legislation
lowered to about 10 mills. This
ought to be great city 1t has the
natural advantages of most commercial cit
les with many resources that no other man.
nfacturing city has She has coal, iron, oil
and gas deposits in immeasurable quanti-
ties, with money and enterprise to reduce
these elements to their most varied use and
highest value; but am afraid we are i'm
posing on the people of this city a system of
taxation and a burden that will DESTROY
prospects that are over bright, viewed from
any otner STANDPOINT We are inviting
capital here without being able to promise
it safe and certain returns for its in
vestment The gross gain in all legiti-
mate enterprises is as large here as else
where, but rents and taxes are much higher
in proportion to the volume of business
"This is an industrial community and the
cost of living should be low Competition
is SO great in the articles We produce that
the profits are lost in rents and taxes in
which there is no competition. To make a
city great you must make the cost of living
and production equal to that of cities who
compete with you in the things you have to
sell. People do not come here for the
pleasure it affords them in living here; they
come for the advantages offered for manu-
featuring and we should be careful in ourex-
actions and see that the natural resources
are not more than offset by the cost of the
purely artificial things"

YOUNG, BUT TOUGH.
Boy Prisoners Sent to Eastern Reform
Schools From the Indian Territory.

Boy Prisoners Sent to Eastern Reform
Schools From the Indian Territory.
Deputy United States Marshal G. S.
White and Guilliam Yoes, of Ft. Smith,
Ark, were at the Union depot last evening
with several boy prisoners from the Indian
Territory. They were taking them to
the Reform School at Washington. All
the boys are under 16, and are thorough
breds. Sam Anderson is Cherokee In
dian, who got 26 months on two charges of
selling whisky in the territory. This is re-
garded as a very serious offense by the
Government William Mitchell was sent
one year for robbing a store. Sol johnson,
a colored boy, is horse thief, and got
three years. He will be placed in Chel-
tenham School, Md. The other boys will
be put in the Reformatory at Washington.
Marshal White said considerable lawless-
ness prevails in the Territory. At the Ft
Smith February term of court they had six
murder trials Three were convicted in the
first degree, two got off with manslaughter
and the sixth was acquitted. At the May
term of court there are 13 murder trials on
the calendar All the boys under 16 ar
rested in the Indian Territory are shipped
to the Eastern reform schools. They have
on an average 125 prisoners in the jail at Ft.
Smith.

ON THE GOLDEN COAST.

d. r. Dilworth Delighted With the Far
West-Eastern Brains and Eastern Push
in the Front Rank-Mormons Garry Dis
content on Their Faces. .
H. P. Dilworth, the commission broker,
has returned from an extended visit through
Southern California. Mr.. Dilworth is one
OF Pittsburg's greatest travellers, and he was
delighted almost beyond expression with
his experience ON the Western coast.
'The fact is, they have about 80 per cent
climate and 10 per cent business out there"
MI. Dilworth said. 'There are host of
bright, active Yankees in that country,
and they do heap of think
ing. At every turn I was aston
ished at the energy and enterprise
evidenced, and found that Eastern blood
and Eastern brains were responsible in nine
cases out of every ten. Another notable
fact" Mr.. Dilworth went on, sis the greatly
increased number of tourists out there. I
met many Pittsburgers out there and they
all tell me that they prefer the climate and
scenery of the far West to any thing they
can find abroad. For my part, I never
found the climate in any part of Europe
that can be compared in any way with the
climate of California, and I believe that
the tendency of tourists is to 60 West in
stead OF going abroad The same thing is
evident with the people who heretofore
have been going South. In California met
many of my friends whom last winter met
in Florida. And the people out there are
different from the Southern people. There
is no malaria and everybody looks healthy.
The women are magnificent specimens of
humanity. They have rosy cheeks, clear
compilations, beautiful teeth and are all
bright and smart Everybody met seemed
to be good natured and everybody seemed
happy. The hotels out there are all run by
Eastern men and they are all elegant. The
street car systems are perfect and the sys-
TENS of irrigation are complete. In fact,
the facilities out there completely surprised
me.
'The Cinnamon are an important factor,
and the bill permitting the admission of
Cinnamon to America has been 8 great thing
for the Mongolians who got in before the
work the'farms and do all kinds of house
work, and they are smart enough to
take advantage of their condition. Before
the exclusion act was passed they were
working for Is cents per day. Now they
are demanding and getting anywhere from
81 25 to 81 so per day. The demand for
Chinese labor out there is greater than the
supply and they know it."
On his way home from California Mr.. Dill
worth stopped in Utah. He was not favor
ably impressed with the Mormons however
''The Mormons are common, rough people,"
he said. 'They all looked distressed. Their
faces are expressionless and uninteresting
have no confidence in the assertion fire.
quently made that if left alone the Nor
mons would soon settle their own condition
satisfactorily to the Government The Gen
eral Government has, think, been acting
wisely with that question, and think it
will soon be settled to the satisfaction Of
society,""

Such matters are like iron rates Metal at

CHIEF BROWNS OPINION.
He Thinks Good Streets and Good Govorn-
ment Important Factors.

Jo. Brown, Chief of the Department of
public Safety, said: "Good streets and
good city government are, in my Judgment,
the most important elements In making a
creo. city. Occasionally we hear people
complain about Pittsburg, but Pittsburg is
a good city. Her growth is not very rapid,
hit il is substantial and lasting. Our city
government is clean and well administered,
and our streets are in excellent condition.
