Waring Will Be There Today to Look Over

Savannah, Sept. 22.-Tomorrow af-
ternoon Col. George P. Waring, the
well-known street commissioner of
New York city, will arrive In Savan-
nah. He is coming to consult with
the aldermanic committee on drain
age and the members of council upon
a system of house drainage for this
city. He will meet council tomorrow
evening at s 80 o'clock. Colonel War
ing was invited by the committee on
house drainage by wire and has sig
nified his intention to accept the in
vltation.
The drainage committee evidently
intends recommending system of
house drainage to council.
Herbert Tate, contractor, is will
ing to put in system of drainage and
wait upon the city for his cash. Mr..
TaUe has been over the entire city and
has carefully looked over the ground.
He thinks Savannah can be drained
with about forty miles of pipe and at
cost not to exceed $25O,OOO. He does
not know yet where would be the best
place to empty the drainage. He will
let Colonel Waring decide that i'm
portant point.
A perfect system of drainage will
saYe the city about 100000 gallons of
rrtesian water daily. 1t now requires
500, 900 gallons of water each day to
flush the sewers. 1t 10 claimed that
10000 gallons will do the work with
perfect sewage system. If the work is
to be done at all this year it will be
begun between November l and Is,
and it is estimated the system can be
completed by January, 1899. Mr. Tate

Stevedores offered An Increased
Scale Of Wages, But 1t Was
Turned Down.
ST. SIMON MEN JOIN THE STRIKE.
They Want Ten Hours Work-Whits Men
to Be Given the Preference Nal
lory Will Be Fixed.

There was an effort at settlement
of the strike situation yesterday by
which all hands could have returned
to work at an increased scale of
wages. The strikers refused to ac-
cept and are still out.
The overtures came from the steve
dores, acting comparatively. They
offered to compromise by meeting the
strikers half way. The lumber steve
dores offered an increase of ~ cents
per hour to the LonGshoreman's union.
The union declioned.
The old scale of wages was $125
$1.75 and $3.50.
The strikers demand $1.75, 5000 and
So.
The stevedores offer of yesterday
was $3.50, $500 and $3.50.
The cotton shippers also made Of
fers to their men, the objects being to
get the ships now in port clear as
soon as possible. No compromise
would be agreed to by the strikers.
The colored steYedores, Nose Saw
yer and Hamilton Scarlet, succeeded
IN making trade with their men, and
will put them back to work. Harry
1attnall, the leading colored steve.
dore, made the same offer as the white
stevedores. The white stevedores say
they will make no more overtures to
the men, but will let them remain out
to their hearts content. They will
positively pay no more now than the
old scale of wages.
Mr.. B. Carreras, of Curtis and Car
reras, Leading lumber stevedores, au-
thorized the statement after the fail
ure of the effort at compromise, that
they would employ white men in pref
erence to negroes and would welcome
any who came, from this city or any
other, seeking employment. 1--WE will
not employ the strikers on any terms
but the old SCALE" he said. "We are
through with the colored labor and
prefer white men,"
The lumber was too wet for good
work yesterday, but anyhow there was
no work except on Churchill's and the
Downing company's wharves.
The Downing company's men, get
ting over their little fright, went to
work yesterday morning MS though
nothing had occurred.
Captain Churchill had several white
additions to his gang. They came
from the country &nd showed an
adeptness in picking up the tricks of
the trade, They progressed very sat
isfactorily in putting lumber into the
steamship Inohdune and cotton into
the steamship Buonaventuro.
The strikers are beginning to feel
the need of money, but 1t is said that
several small merchants and one sa-
loon man have come to their relief. A
check for $3.50 is reported to have been
sent to one of the organizations by
Bay street storekeeper in the hope of
cornering the trade of the men when
they do get work.
All talk or fear of violence has died
out. The community has faith in the
peaceful protestations OF the negroes,
and the military guards at the armor-
les have been aban doned, Extra po-
licemen, paid by the owners, are still
guarding the wharf property.

Fiddle Wood.
Mississippi Valley Lumberman.

The ever resourceful lumbermen out
on the west coast have discovered a
new use for one of their woods. A
resident of New Whatcom, WASH,
recently sent samples of what is COM
monty called bar-maple to a leading
eastern makes of violins. He reports
that the Washington maple is superior
to any he has yet found, and he has
heretofore been importing from the
mountain regions of Switzerland as
the best he could find in the world for
the manufacture of stringed instru-
ments. The western maple is said to
possess all the necessary qualifications
of being very difficult to split, capable
of taking satin finish, resonance,
strength and lightness. While the
demand for such wood does not call
for any great amount, it will command
a very good price. Perhaps in a few
years the State of Washington. will be
famed throughout the world for its
fiddle wood.

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON FRIDAY EVENING" JULY 8 1897

From these figures we gather some
of the reasons that Eastern people are
advocates of the Forest Reverse. If
these reserves will protect the timber
from fire and pillage and still allow
the farming lands to be occupied and
the mines to be worked, no one will
find fault.
From these figures it is evident that
the timber supply of Washington
is to become very valuable. 1t is an
outrage that such timber as this cOun-
ty produces, is being sacrificed and no
one being really benefited. The mill
owners are selling the lumber at an
exceedingly small profit. This means
low prices for logs, so that loggers are
making nothing, the owner is seeing
his timber cut and gets no adequate
return, nor does the laborer get a
decent wage for his hire. 1t is all
wrong but where is the remedy?
