BIG SUM WILL BE SAVED.
Cedar River Water system 10 Cost
Si5O.0O0 Less Than Anticipated
Condition of NaRle Reservoir.

When the Cedar river water system is
finished which will probably be some time
during this month, the total cost to the
city will have been Sl50.ooo less than the
estimated cost at the time the contract
was let. This statement Is given out by
the city engineers office The amount OF
saving is merely estimated, and 1t may
vary a few thousand dollars one way or
another from the statement given.
The original estimate of the cost Of con-
struction when the contracts were let was
$l.21b0n0. liz Is now believed that the work
can he finished with a total expenditure
of 81, D65,00d.
The old reservoir on Beacon hill will
have TO be increased IN size by the cree
iion of supplementary walls five feet high.
This IL because the reservoir for the low
service system. situated in the Nagle ad-
dition ~ not filed by the gravity flow
from the Beacon hill reservoir under pres
ent conditions. In filling the Maggie reser-
voir few days ago IL was found that the
water rose only to- within five feet OF the
top of the big concrete basin.
Because of that fact a story was circu-
lated about the city to the effect that the
engineers had made serious mistake and
that the Magic reservoir WAS several feet
above the proper level and therefore
valueless Assistant Supervising Engi-
neer Cummings said last night tina; the
rumor was groundess; that the engineers
were prepared TO see the water fail TO
reach the crest OF the Maggie reservoir by
FIVE feet and that 10 remedy the matter
the water level in the Beacon hiil reser-
volr would be raised five feet by the con-
struction Of new banks.

SANTA ANA is LIBELED,
Crew Of Centennial. Which Towed
Disabled Boat to seattle, Make
Claim for Salvage.

The disabled steamship Santa Ana. re-
Gently returned from Nome in tow OF
the Centennial, was yesterday tied up on
the libel of members of the Centennial $
crew, who seek TO recover salvage.
The Santa Ana and the Centennial be-
long to the same party, and consequently
the Centennial. which towed the Santa
Ana from Nome. made no salvage claim.
The second officer, first assistant engi-
neer and seventeen others, however. yes
terday filed their libel in the United
States district court. stating that the
Santa Ana was picked up seventy-five
miles from Nome and towed to Seattle,
and that IL this had not been done the
vessel, valued at $4,000 and freight val
ued at s30,0oO would have been lost. They
ask that the court give them reasonable
salvage. leaving the amount to him for
determination.
The owners of the vessels say that the
Centennial has no rclaim against the
Santa Ana other than for towage. and
that the men could not libel on tina;
ground. IL is said that the Santa Ana
was to be towed from Nome harbor, but
Ii was decided to let her beat around out
side before picking her up. In order that
intending passengers for the Centennial
might not become fearful OF an unusually
long passage. by reason OF the tow. Ac-
cordingly, the Santa Ana was sent 20 sea
in advance. and picked up. as IL is claim
ed, by agreement about seventy-five mil 4
from Nome harbor. The libellants claim
IL to be a case Of salvage pure and sim
pie.

WAR CLOUD IN THE EAST.
War TIVE Russia and Japan Pro-
nounced Inevitable.

Chicago, January 1S.-"War between
Russia and Japan is looked for as in
evitable by the naval officers of those
countries who have been nearest the
probable scene of future operations"
said Lieutenant Romanoff, of the i'm
perial Russian navy, who arrived in
Chicago today.
The lieutenant has just completed a
three years cruise in Asiatic waters on
the Russian battleship Sissoi Veliky,
and is on his way to ST. Petersburg.
He continued.
Just how soon such a war may be-
gin it is difficult to say, but something
little short of the miraculous must oc-
cu~ to avert it. The Japanese are
building warShipS as rapidly as posi-
BILE in anticipation of the outbreak Of
hoStilitieS and Russia is strengthening
her navy as fast as h can. That Rus
STA must have a naval base between
Port Arthur and V~ladivostock is con
coded, and that n viii try to get one
in Korea is certain.
1.-THE movement of Russian troops
toward h A~fghanistan and British
India borders, the mobilization Of
trans-Caspian troops at Ballu and He
rat and other military manouvering on
the part of Russia are taken by official
Russia to mean the beginning of a
movement to eliminate English lnf1u-
| ence in territory heretofore held by her,
beginning at Kabul. 1t is certain that
England will have to fight to retain
her territory in the east"
