THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST.
Details of the Disaster in the Phil

ippine Islands.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.-The ty-
phoon which swept over the Philippine
islands recently was one Of the worst
disasters that has been reported from
the Southern Pacific ocean for years, if
not in the history of that section of
the world. Thousands of lives were
lost, the victims including many Euro
peans, and the damage to property was
something appalling. Telegraphic ad-
vices concerning the calamity have
been very meager. The difficulty Of
getting news from the islands is great
at any time and, owing to the remote
ness of some of the provinces visited
by the hurricane, full details of the
storm did not reach Hong Kong until
Nov. 1. The steamer Gaelic from the
Orient today brought letters and papers
which contain accounts of the ravages
of the tidal waves and the winds. Sew

disorder continued until shortly before
midnight, when the streets were clear

home place, the largest gasoline pump
ing plant in existence, which will be
used for pumping water from the river
with which to irrigate several hundred
acres of land.
This plant consists of an 80-horse
power, horizontal single cylinder, Her.
cules engine and Krogh Manufacture
ing Com pany's l5-inch centrifugal
pump, guaranteed to raise 5000 gal
Ions of water per minute 81 feet high.
There is also a smaller pump of 400 gall
Ions a minute capacity driven by the
same engine. This is for tank purposes.
The engine is arranged to use either
gasoline or distillate oil, and as the lat
ter is very cheap it will no doubt be
the fuel selected for use. The 20-lnch
suction pipe, made of No. 10 steel,
passes through the levee, on an incline,
into the river, and at it's lower end is
large foot valve weighing 1900
pounds.
A s0-inch discharge pipe carries the
water from the pump to head box %
feee square and feet high. For the
foundation of the machinery an excava-
tion was made and filled with concrete.
The first test made showed a much
larger pumping capacity than the con-
tract called for, the flow of water ex-
ceeding 1900 gallons minute or 432,
900 gallons an hour, or 10, 1888, 900 gal
Ions per day of "a hours enough water
to cover 1884 acres an inch deep, or 3S
acres 10 inches deep every day of "a
hours.
A very important part is the exceed
ingly small cost of the fuel it being
only one-eighth gallon per hour for
each horse power actually used, and
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1897-09-25

the price of the fuel is less than 10
cents gallon. If the whole force
should be used, there would be only
eight gallons an hour, or less than 200
gallons day of "a hours The fuel
item then is less than $50 for covering
IS acres 10 inches deep with water-or
less than 80 cents an acre. If used for
wheat, one sack to the acre will pay all
the expenses of putting 10 inches of
water on it just as it is wanted most.
This pumping plant, destined to
revolutionize agriculture in the Sacra-
mento valley, was put in operation Fri
day, August 6.
Early in the morning a party of CO.
lusans drove to the ranch of Mr.. Pack
err, which is on the river below Prince
ton, to see the great pump make a trial
of its strength. The air was cool and
the drive most pleasant, though dusty.
Arriving, they found the engine placed
in concrete oblong, square basin,
sloping towards the cut in the levee
that leads to the river and the great
2S-inch iron pipe extending from a
22x22 foot reservoir down the concrete
basin, on through the cut in the levee
and river bank into the water. The
machinery was all clean and bright and

PERSONNEL COMPLETED
MONETARY COMMISSION TO CON
sIDER THE CURRENCY.
To Consider Data and Listen to Ex-
perts From All Parts of
the World.

indianapolis, Sept. ls-Hugh Hanna,
chairman of the monetary executive COM
mittee announces the completion of the
commission, acceptance having been re-
ceived from Louis A. Garnet of San
Francisco and j. L. Laughlin of Chicago.
Prof. LAughlin is one of the best known
political economists of the country, and
during the past few years his writings
upon financial questions have attracted
worldwide attention. He was for many
surance Company of Philadelphia, and
there made a record as careful, conser-
vative and successful business man. He
left this position to take the chair of po-
litical economy in the Chicago university
some years ago, and has since been en-
gagged in that work.
Mr. Garnett is regarded as the most
eminent authority on the Pacific coast on
matters of finance and currency. He or
ganized the service of the San Francisco
mint, and served many years in it. At
the colse of this service he spent some
years abroad in travel and study of finan-
cial and economic questions. Returning
to San Francisco, he organized the great
reduction works known as the Selby
smelter, with which he has since been
connected. He has made valuable con
tributions to the literature of finance, and
is much consulted by the large isiness
interests of the Pacific slope. Eceither he
nor Prof. Laughlin are men of wealth,
and in consenting to serve upon the com
mission, none of whose members are com
pensated, they make a considerable per
sonal sacrifice.
The commission, as completed by these
appointments, is composed as follows: Elk

slowly at first, and increasing in velo-
city, the water began to come with
force into the reservoir. 1t gushed for
awhile, when one of the smaller parts
of the engine became clogged, and it
was stopped for arrangement. Just
then, as all stood still, there was
splash and wild shout came from
those who had climbed upon the edge
of the reservoir. All rushed up and
found Mr.. Stice. of Red Bluff, who is
here buying fruit, foundering around
in the water, having lost his balance
and tumbled in. There was much mer-
rlment at his expense, and it had a
healthy action on the crowd, bringing
laughter and good will all around.
Again, the engines started, and fore
ing 1900 gallons to the minute, the
great reservoir was soon overlooking,
and all pronounced it the grandest of
successes.
The success of Mr.. Packers enter
prise will show conclusively that it
will be immensely profitable to irrigate
even wheat lands that are at all favor
ably situated. Who would not give a
sack of wheat an acre for the privilege
of 10 inches of water at will? 1t would
make a difference, one year with an
other, of five to ten sacks; there need
be no summer-fallOwing. A certain
crop every year. But then there comes
in more profitable crop-alfalfa and
sugar beets.
This plant was put in for Mr.. Packer
for SO, 500, but the head of the COM
pany informs us that this was an in
ducement and that another would come
higher.

1taly's Cotton Manufactures.

The growth of the cotton industry in
Lombardy, according to consular re-
ports, has been remarkable-that is,
the number of spindles in Italy is stat
ed to be nearly 1,800,0 900; also some
10000 power looms, besides a very
large number of hand looms; and of all
these about half are credited to Lom-
hardy, and, as a large proportion OF
the spinning mills work day and night,
the spindles may be calculated as
equivalent to 1850, 900 in countries
where only day work prevails. All
kinds of raw cotton are used, but chiefly
Indian and American of medium quail
ity. Until recently the yarns were
almost entirely confined to the lower
counts, even the general average being
20's to gas, but many spinners are
turning their attention to the finer
counts, which have hitherto been i'm
ported from Switzerland and England,
while ne insuperable difficulty has been
encountered either on account of labor
or the climate. Calico printing has
also become business of considerable
