COMPLETION OF CEDAR RIVER
SYSTEM DELAYED BY RAINS.
Work ON Pipe Line Is PracttcaHy
stopped-Connection Established
Between Maggie Reservoir ana
Queca Anne Hill standpipe.

There Is no hope that the Cedar river
water system will be completed by the
holidays, the time set by City Engineer
Thomson in an interview In the Post-ln-
teIligencer few days prior to his de-
parture for the East. The stormy weather
of the past few days has delayed the
workmen on the pipe line and the work on
the system is not far enough advanced to
warrant a test, in the opinion OF the en-
gineers.
In the absence from the city of City En-
gineer Thomson Assistant Engineer scott,
who has charge of the work on the head
works and pipe line from Cedar river to
the city is the highest municipal engi-
neering authority regarding the progress
of construction on the system. Mr.. Scott
was asked yesterday when water from
Cedar river would be coursing through
the city mains. He said:
II don't know just when we will be
ready to turn on the water 1t may be
a month yet. l cannot set the date.

Yesterday a very important piece of
work in the city distributing system was
finished. when a connection was establish

contractors on the reservoirs and stand
pipe.
Plans have been finished for the steel
stand pipe which is to be erected by the
city at the city park. This was not in
cluded in the contract for the construc-
ton of the system and will be built by
separate contract under the direction Of
the board Of public works.
The city park stand pipe will be seventy
five feet In height and thirty feet In diam
eter. 1t will have capacity of about
100000 gallons and will be used as a re-
serve pipe in case of repairs to the city
park reservoir or the Queen Anne stand
pipe.

The Seattle Transfer Company and the
Pacific Lounge and Mattress Company
have Joined In petition to the city
council asking that the alley In block
30, Seattle tide lands, between the Sc
attic boulevard and Seventh avenue
south, be vacated in order to allow ex-
tensive improvements planned by the two
comoanies to be carried out.
The transfer company has already COM
menced driving piles for a building on
the west half of block 210 to be occupied
by Its stables now located on Second
avenue south, The new building will
cost $4,000. The Pacific Lounge and Mat
tress Company already has building
on Its part OF the block, but Is planning
an extension. The two companies de-
clare that the alley Is of practically no
value to the public. as IL Is covered with
water at high tide. and that II is neces-
sary for the completion OF the improve
ments they have planned. The petition
will be heard at Monday nights meeting
of the council.

from Mr.. Crane by Secretary Moore, OF
the bureau of information. no clay. of
the kind desired has yet been found in
this state. Mr.. Crane says:
II have had letters from several par

have had samples of clay sent me. These
samples / have tested and found insult

ment Many failures h we occurred In
attempts to make cement because of ig-
norance of what is actually required IN
the constituents of the material to be
dealt with.

Mr. Crane concludes by expressing his
great faith In the future of Seattle. and

another visit. when he will have more
opportunity for investigation than on his
brief trip last summer.

GEN. RossER TO GOV. ROOSEVELT.


From the New York Herald. June 81:
today by the receipt OF a letter from
General Thomas l.. Rosser of Char
lottesville, Va, confederate cavalry
leader and long prominent in Demo-
cratic councils. The general announces
his complete conversion to Republican
ism. The letter is as follows:
| have hitherto been an earnest
worker in the ranks of the Democratic
party, but circumstances and condi-
tions have so changed that cannot af-
filiate with it any longer.
| naturally came out of the great war
of the sixties between the states pred
JUDGED, and 1t was easy to believe all
the charges of evil that were made
against the party which had antago-
nized as soldier. Though boy was
not a secessionist, but in the fierce and
bitter fight that followed I became
thoroughly saturated with its venom.
When war was declared against
Spain In 1898 the fear that my country
was in danger passed through me like
an electric spark, clearing my vision
and revealing the follies behind which
had been sulking. That the South Is
unanimous in it's political opposition to
the North cannot satisfactorily be
ascribed to my mind to a difference in
primary belief, but is founded solely on
blind prejudice which all candid
citizens should spurn.
If the North can prosper-and 1t does
under Republican administration-the
South would blush to admit that she
cannot do the same, for she had equal
opportunities. To say that Republicans
alone are dishonest, and that Demo-
Gratis alone are honest, is foul black
guardism.
| most heartily approve the admins
tration of President Mckinley, and
shall do all In my power to insure his
election to the high Office he now holds,
and, fully approving your political and
| admiring your military record I re-
joice personally, and congratulate our
country in securing your services as
our vice president.
| believe that ii plants your feet
! firmly in the certain road to further ad-
vancement for you and additional pros
perity for our country.
Thomas R. Rosser
Charlottesville, Va.
The governor regarded the letter as
an index of a strong and growing senti-
ment in the South, and said that 1t was
very gratifying to him to have such
confirmation of his belief that there is
coming to be a decided change of feel
ing in the South.

Friends and Fellow Citizens:

Your matchless leader,

Did not lay it's heavy hand
Upon my language works.
Gods! Can Democratic convention

Which of the two to choose,

And depression costs money.
