WHAT DOES lT:MEAH ?
The Meaning Of insurance is to In
demnify for Something That is Lost
Are You Sure Your Company
Can Do This?

Is 1t not as essential to know
that the company promising this
indemnity Is Is sound and solvent
as a person signing a note or
other obligation?
A fire not only destroys your
property, but at the same time
throws you out of your home or
your business.
We never have lost a company by
failure, in a business of twenty
years experience. Never had a
company make an assessment.
Yet in past twenty years more
than half the companies allowed
to transact business in Maine
have failed or gone out of bust
ness. Companies are dropping
out nearly every month.
Is it not for your interest,
financially, to get the best, when
their rates are no higher than
the poorest?
Kindly ponder these inquiries,
and say If they are not good bust
ness sense. Then secure a policy

As reported in the LIGHT yester-
day, a freight wreck occurred on the
Arkansas Pass, near Runge, in
which man was killed, but more
particulars could not be learned in
time for yesterdays issue.
1t was learned later that the

George Bodkin, rear brakeman,
was injured in the back, but will
recover.
The wreck occurred yesterday
morning about O'Clock at the San
Antonio river bridge, about three
miles west of Runge.
The wreck was caused by the
rear section of the train running
into the front section, as the train
slowed up for water. The train
became separated by coupling
pin being lost. Four cars loaded
with flour, wheat, bran, lumber
and coke were wrecked.

Their Purposes.
The party of wealthy Polish far
mers of the section Of country
around San Antonio, headed by
Mr.. John Kolusha, of Bexar, who,
q few weeks ago, went to Mexico
to prospect for suitable location
for a great Polish colony, returned.
They travelled leisurely as far as
Tamaulipas, and examined many
fine haciendas as we'll as much
wild land offered for sale, but were
suited with none. They were
treated we'll by the citizens Of Mex
leo, and shown every courtesy, but
they were close observers and
found that prices in Mexico We're
too high for poor people bent on
making living and that even the
land was too costly for the state Of
cultivation it had been brought to.
Cultivated land had not been
grubbed, the owners and tillers of
the soil contenting themselves
with working around the stumps
of the brush, with their crude
plows and farming tools.
The farm houses and the tools
with Jumped in with the properties
offered for sale, these intending
colonists decided were useless to
them and would be so much waste,
while the cultivated land they
considered was not much better
than wild land, as all of it would
have to be grubbed before they
could use 1t.
The gentlemen have gone down
toward Nueces county and will
search the lower country for
suitable location for their colony.
They may find it along the San
Antonio river. 1t Is probable they
will.

BOUGHT A FARM.
Finance Committee Agrees to the
Purchase of the Berg-Schultze
Tracts by the Clty.


The city council met in special
session at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon and agreed to purchase
the sewer farm out of the Berg and
Schultze tracts, as foreshadowed
In Yesterdays LIGHT.
The finance committee reported
as follows:
'Ihe committee to whom was
referred the proposition to sell to
the city lands for outfalls for the
sewer system respectfully report
that Mr.. Gray, consulting engineer,
recommends that the CITY pur-
chase at least 500 acres of land for
a sewer farm. In view to this re-
commentator, and after careful
consideration of the proposals
submitted, your committee advise
the purchase of 222 acres of the
Louis Berg tract of $40 per acre,
and BIZ acres of the HI. Schultze
tract at $32 per acre, making a
total of 533 acres of total cost of
$lS,S32. The land referred to lies
between the Corpus Christi and
Berg road.
"The following is an estimate of
the cost of the construction of the

"a proposition has been submit
ted by Col. Terrell to pay ST per
acre per annum for the use Of the
water, II carried to his property.
The city engineer reports that it is
to go to the Terrell
Property without a pumping sta
tidp, estimated by Mr.. Gray to cost
$55,p00, and an additional cost of
$l5, 900 to $4,000 per mile for extra
distance to get to the Terrell prop
erty. This proposition is therefore
as impracticable.
"WhiDe the cost OF getting to the
Berg and Schultze lands Is very
heavy, the location has the advan-
tage OF being we'll removed from
the city, allowing for it's expansion
from natural growth, and avoid
ing any question of contamination
from the discharge Of the sewage"
The report was adopted and an
of $lS,S32 from the
sewer fund, was made, and the en-
gineer was instructed to forward
to Mr.. Gray all necessary data re-
garding the sewer farm to make
specifications on which bids can
be invited for building the trunk
line sewers.
An ordinance to condemn right
Of way through the Wilkens prop.
erty was adopted, and the session

Another important question is.
will not the diversion of the sewer
water to an irrigating farm greatly
decrease and impair the flow of
the river
The real estate purchased by the
city may be regarded as a good
speculation. The sewers can be
finished before we build that out
let to the farm, and then, by that
time it will be discovered that the
river will answer the purpose bet
ter, more economically, more in
accord with hygenic principles.

dred acres of farm within a few
miles of our city right in the path
OF our summer winds.
One of the most experienced en-
gineers in this country having in
charge the sewage of large city,
has pronounced the river route
practicable, highly hygenic, and
for the present the most economical.
Qne hundred years hence, when
ONr deep valley lands become i'm

VIVA. the POODLE are Saying

Wnat the PeoFpie are odyinB'
The purchase OF a piece of prop
erty for a sewer fArm seems to end
one of the perpleixing problems of
the sewer enterprise. The people
are vet alarmed DIVER the prospect
of the successful issue of the great
enterprise, especially when 1t has
to be figured out td the last cent OF
the sewer fund.
In the first plac8 do we need a
sewer farm =? Naturally, if no one
had put sewer farm itto our heads
we would have used\the natural
sewer drainage at hand -the river.
And why not use the Viver ? Is
it not a sufficient chann& to carry
off the sewage ? OF course q he chan
mel is sufficient.
We are told that 40-inch SEWER
will be sufficient, and mind Xou
this is for water, which it is N-
pected to use to irrigate a farmA
Could we not discharge it into the
river and let the irrigation COM
panies below have any advantage
to be gained by the increase in
flow.
The truth is the sewer farm bus
mess has been speculation from
the start and it has grown to be
one of huge proportions.
Tumble the sewer water into the
river and be done with it. After a
while it may pay to lead it on up
lands that need it.
What are the objections to
emptying the sewer into the river?
Has any one who has grain of
sense or particle of information
investigated the matter?
We have heard that the city
would be enjoined; by whom and
why?
Does not the city own and con-
troll the river inside its limits?
Does not all the sewerage of the
city today that can reach the river
go into it, in the most noxfous
FORM.
Can't we discharge our sewerage
into this stream within our city
limits" Are we not doing it to-
day?
And il we tumbled it into the
river at the mouth of the sewer be-
low the Sunset bridge, who would
know it, half mile below? Who
uses the water below the city ex-
cept for irrigation anyhow?
Our river falls 600 feet in run
ming so or 20 miles.-it tumbles
over numerous cascades and all the
sewerage that a city the size Of
Chicago could put into it would be
invisible i'm a few miles tossing
and foaming of its waters.
What is the fact: All the filth,
the dead animals, the accumula-
tion of thousands. of tons of de-
cayed matter. is swept into this
same river from the water shed of
this valley all the way to the sea.
The sewage of our city is only a
drop in the bucket.
Thoughtless people have talked
about the horror of emptying the
sewerage into the river. Yet these
same people will stand on Com
merce street bridge and view with
Indifference. hundred open
mouthed sewers emptying into the
stream.
These same thoughtless people
will talk of defiling the waters be-
low the city as being unhealthy
when there is no possibility of
holding for second all the sewage
of the city and a sewer farm with
in ore miles will be thousand
times more noNious than the river.
Let the city appoint commits
sion,. not interested in sewerage
farms to investigate the river from
Lewis mill to Goliad. See how
much of the water is used for do
nestle purposes. See what it's
channel is; see how much valley is
