A start will b made from Victoria, B. C., in

Disc. They are asked to gather dates and facts
necessary for the delineation OF the frontier.
Work will be commenced at the southerly end
Of Prince of Wales sound. Tho joint survey
will comprise ten or eleven parties OF about

owing to the necessity of making explorations

Mr.. Anderson, the president Of the Ia
coma Land Company, insists upon mis-.
understanding the attitude Of the PosT-
water systsm Of the Tacoma Light and
Water Company to the city. He says:
"The Posr-ISrELLuoENcEa 10 opposed to
the sale and therefore will not print what
] say regarding It."
Mr.. Anderson is mistaken. The Posr-
IsTELLIoEscER will gladly print any fair
arguments that Mr.. Anderson may have
to offer in support Of his side of this i'm
portant question. As has been already
stated; tho Posr-INrELIIaExcRR is a news
paper and always reserves the right to give
TO the public both sides OF . question of
general importance.
II the proposition Is good one for the
city Of Tacoma, the more it is discussed
the more strongly viii its merits appeal to
the public mind. II the proposition 10
not . good one for the city of Tacoma
then the less the matter il discussed the
better it will be for the water company.
The idea that Seattle 10 interested in de-
featiug the sale II too absurd for belief.
Seattle Is built on too broad gauge .
principle to oppose any measure simply
because it is going to benefit a rival c,ty.
Seattle, however, has nothing to do with
the matter in any way. shape or form.
If the people Of Tacoma are satisfied
after thorough investigation that the
water system is n bargain at the price
asked for 1t, they will probably decide to
buy it. If not they won't The proper
thing 10 do, therefore. is to convince the
people. With them the decision will rest.

The Spokane Reyiev criticises the gov
ernor because he did not reduce some of
the appropriations contained in the gen.
eral appropriation bill. II the Review will
consult Attorney General Jones it will
find that the governor had no power to
change or reduce an appropriation. He
could strike out any single item in the bill
entirely, but he could not change the
amount If he had possessed this power
his task, 20 far a. the appropriation bill
was concerned, would have been much

of. 1t can permit it to be offered to the
present holders of Maine Central stock
at par, with the certainty that it will all
be taken by them, or it can decree that 1t
shall be sold in open market to the high
est bidders. The first plan will be bet
ter for the Maine Central stockholders.
They will get for par stock worth SID.
But it will not be SO well for the Maine
Central railroad because it would realize
much more money for its proposed i'm
provements from the sale of this stock in
open market. If the stock be sold in
open market the savings banks may get
a chance to bid for it. The complaint is
made that these banks do not keep
enough of their money at home, and
it is alleged til It some of their
investments outside of the State are not
SO good as might be found in the State.
Now here is first class stock which it
is possible to give the savings banks a
chance to buy. 1t will be offered to
capitalists. Let it be offered also to the
savings bank depositors. The eminent
philanthropists behind the savings bank
bill cannot mean to confine its provisions
to the crumbs that have been swept off the
table of the rich man. They are un-
doubtedly anxious to give the savings
banks a chance at the juicy and nourish-
ing meat like Maine Central stock and
not confine them to less nutritious food
like Aroostook railroad bonds, which the
capitalist has been rejecting. Therefore
we may expect when this Maine Central
bill comes before the committee another
array Of eminent counsel will
be on hand begging the legis-
lature to give the savings banks a
chance to invest in this particular Sc
curity so as to increase their soundness
and help the State.
