Committee of water Commissioners
VIII Consider Question of Laying
Main on Wabasha Street
Brid1se Instead of Under the Riv-
er-Investment by COmptrOIier
McCardy of 100000.
The board of water commissioners at
meeting yesterday decided that the re-
quest of the Mississippi Valley Tele-
phone company to use q portion or the
tunnel between the court house and the
water office could not be complied with
This action was taken after an opinion
had been given by the corporation attor-
ney that the board had no right to allow
the use of city property to private corpo-
rations
For the past ten years the board has
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of fencing IN
Dale street reservoir. Plans were pre-
pared years ago, and at one time bids
were asked for. Now the board has d.
rected advertisements for bids, and the
work will be carried out. 1t is estimated
that steel base and wire fence will cost
about $1,000.
City Engineer Claussen was added to
the committee which has under consider
alton the advisability of putting an ad-
dItional water main to the Sixth ward.
The committee will consider the question
of whether it is not best to lay the main
on the Wabasha street bridge, instead of
under the river.
main was ordered laid on Superior,
from Western to Duke street, providing
the persons petition1ng for the same de-
post with the board the amount neces-
sary to pay for the service pipes. The
artesian we'll plant at Centerv1lle lake
will be started up this week, and the
lakes and reservoir will be filled Tor the
fall.
Rule was amended so as to provide
that consumers desiring meters placed
must have the written consent OF the
owners or agents Of the property. This
action was taken, owing to number Of
owners complaining that tenants had me-
tiers put in and then allowed the water
to waste and moved out without paying
the rent. In such cases the owner be-
comes responsible for the rent.
In reply to a letter from Corporation
Attorney Markham as to the action
taken by the board on the 100000 bond
purchase of Comptroller McCardy, the
secretary notified the legal department
months ago that the board had written
the comptroller, suggesting that the wa
ter board sinking fund be invested in
longtime bonds rather than city certif-
icates Of Indebtedness. The board ap
proved of the reply prepared by the sec
rotary.
The board will advertise for bids for
fuel About $1,000 worth Of bitumnous
coal will be needed.
Henry Lang owning property at Louisa
and South Robert streets, was before the
board a month ago, charged with con-
Meeting a house with water pipes in an
other building, without notifying the
board. He was ordered to pay SIS as rent
for the six years he had been getting wa
ter for nothing and to have proper con-
nections made Mr.. Lang made the con-
nections, but neglected TO pay in the s75.
In case the amount is not paid Monday
the board will shut the water off.
Bills amounting to $1,9348S were ap-
proved.

coming out of the mouth of the oven,
and 1 could see my hosts wife prepar-
ing the sweet bread for our midday
meal. After a while the daughter
brought large tray made of woven
straw and laid it on the floor between
her father and me. The fresh warm
loaves of bread lay upon the edge Of
the tray and the dish of food in the
middle. After a word of prayer we
each took a sheet (loaD of this thin
bread, and, breaking off a piece, dipped
it in the central dish and prepared to
make good meal. After a few mo-
ments my host called out:
oh, Gazelle!'
What, father?'

Soon she came to the room, bringing

casing a five or six inch we'll, and we
ascertain from practical well borers,
who are prepared to undertake the
work, that the cost of sinking a well
for $50 feetris Is cents and casing 30
cents per foot. Taken as a whole the
extreme or outside average cost of sink
ing and casing, in the best manner, to
depth of 100 feet is $50 per foot
The deeper the we'll is sunk the
greater the charge per foot, of course.
But the fair average is $1.5O foot for
$50 foot wells, casing included. This
would make total of 1925 per well or
for a group Of five wells 81 ,125, and we
apprehend that five wells would be suf-
flcient upon which to base sound judg-
ment as to capacity.
The figure of slips is therefore quite
a different one from $1,000 or $4,000.
But suppose that the committee should
contract for wells at the average cost
of So foot for sinking, casing and pro-
tecting, and that the average depth is
taken at 100 feet, and total cost will
but reach $1,000.
But many Of the best wells are not
at a depth exceeding 80 feet, and ex-
perts are known to hold that $50 is not
necessity. AS a matter of fact con-.
siderable depends upon local conditions,
but it is safe to say that 100 feet deep
wells will give us ample supply of
pure water. AT the lesser depth then,
the cost per well at the 50 rate, the
highest possible, would be but 81 200
for five wells. Assuredly it is worth
that to ascertain the important truth
for which the authorities are searching.

PAYING AND PRAYING.
Alameda Encinal: Rev. DR.. Cham
bers, in resigning from the passionate
of Calvary Church, in New York, ut
tered a despairing note. He said that
he had found by sad experience that a
paying church was more popular than
a praying church. In other words, he
had to abandon his church because 1t
did not pay. This has been bruited
about as an evidence of the decline of
Presbyterianism in the first place and
Christianity in the second place. But
moments consideration of the cir
cumstances will show that it merely
indicates the shifting conditions Of
New York. Great tracts of that city
are constantly undergoing modifica-
ton by the influx of new population.

THE SCARCITY OF LABOR.
Oakland Tribune: 1t may SAVIOR some
what of harping upon one string to
again refer to the fact that labor is
at premium in California just now,
but the condition is SO unusual that it
is Well worthy of special attention.
Every day brings to light fresh evil
dence of the scarcity in the labor mar
ket, for in addition to the clamor of
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
ing the new race track in San Mateo
are at their wits ends to find men
enough with which to rush through the
work by November next, when the
season opens. From the interior,
though, is coming the greatest de-
mand. Where is the army of unem-
ployed?" asks the Fresno "Republi-
cam" Farmers come to town and
make an effort to find white men to
do their work, and after vain search,
employ Japanese or Chinese. Wages
are rising from $50 to $25 and $50
month, and from IS cents to 81 % and

to work also cannot be supplied, both
for housework and working in fruit"
The enormous crops with which Cali
fornia has been blessed this year ac-
count to some extent for this condition
of affairs, for they naturally require
more men to handle them than usual.
There is one blessing about the situa-
ton, and that is that the tramp evil
has been checked temporarily at least,
for no man can successfully beg when
work awaits him on every side. There
can be no denying our prosperity,
either, for bounteous harvests mean
lots of money in circulation, and that
is all that is necessary where so many
opportunities for successful investment

His Share of the Load.

The Archduke Albrecht of Austria
was fond of hunting and spent month
or two every summer in the Tyrol and
upper Austria, in pursuit of the cha
mois. On these occasions he wore a
hunters uniform which was chemically
in shabby condition. One day he
wandered away from his party, and
finding that night was coming on, be-
gan hastily to descend the mountain
toward Ischl. Soon he overlook a girl
of 10 or 20, who was carrying an enor-
nous load of firewood, on the top of
which was perched a chubby child
about 2 years old.
The Archduke hailed her, and the
girl greeted him with anything but a
friendly look.
What do you want?" asked she
Can you tell me the shortest road
down to Ischl?"
Il am going there. You can follow
me-" she retorted CURLY.
The Archduke went on beside ner,
but it made him uneasy to see her
bearing so great load.
This is far too heavy for you, my
girl" said he. "Give me that child.

Much you know about carrying chill
dren, old fool" she exclaimed. mo;
you take the firewood and 1 will keep
the youngster. You may we'll do that,
for if you hadn't met me, you'd have
run good chance of spending the
night on the mountain
The Archduke undid the scarf and
transferred the fagots to his own Shout
ders, so that, with his gun and game
bag, he was pretty heavily laden. Then
the girl fell to chafng him about his
ridiculous appearance, and as he trudg-
ed on for about an hour he began to be
little tired Of his bargain.
Suddenly, at cross path, he came
upon his suite, and their greeting at
ence betrayed his identity to the girl
She fell on her knees before him, and
tears sprang to her eyes when she saw
two of his hunters removing the fagots
from his bruised shoulders
Don't cry! There's a good grill!
pleaded the Archduke, distressed. Then
he pressed purse into the baby's
hands. Here is something to buy

a kindly smile. ''She might not al
ways find an old fool to help her carry
her firewood. "-Youth's Companion.
