PROTECTION FROM FIRE.
4 Request for Permission to Tap the
Conduit Road Water Main.

Mrs Heloise O'Neil recently informed the
District Commissioners that the territory
adjacent to her home is without proper
facilities for furnishing water to extinguish
fires. A fire broke out. she says, near the
junction of Conduit and Foxhall Roads, and
when the fire department responded ii could
find no plugs to which to attach the ap
paratus. and was obliged to resort to the
chemical attachments and other means to
put out the fire. She requested that some
mains be laid and Are hydrants erected.
The matter was referred to the Chief En-
gineer of the Fire Department for a state
ments of what the facts were regarding
that section of the city, and to report any
recommendations he might have to make
1t was reported back from the Fire De-
partment that Mrs. O'Neil had stated the
facts none too strongly. as the locality re-
ferred TO was entirely devoid of fire pro-
lection as far water supply is con-
eerned. 1t was stated that some thirty
houses have been erected on each side OF
the Conduit Road which could be reached
by two fire hydrants, one erected at the in
tersection of Foxhsll and Conduit Roads
and one about coo feet up the Conduit
Road The putting in of these two fire
hydrants was accordingly recommended.
The Commissioners have determined to
ask permission of the War Department to
tap the Finch main in the Conduit Road

NAVAL MAGAZINE SITE.
ioun Island in the Hudson River HAS
Been Recon- IN ended

Iona Island, in the Hudson River has
been selected by a board of naval officers
appointed for the purpose as the site for
the naval magazine near New York
Capt. Henry c. Taylor. the President of
the board. came to Washington from the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. where the board has
been holding sessions, and submitted the
report great many sites were ex-
amined but most of these were found to
be unavailable for one reason or another
Objections OF property owners and resi-
dents made it impossible to secure some
choice sites better situated than Iona
Island for loading ships of war with am
munition
The board endeavored TO secure an ISL
and in New York Harbor or a place on
the Jersey shore of the bay but found that
west shore of the Hudson opposite upper
New York were well situated but refusal
of property owners TO sell and the exist
ence of State statute against the loca
tion of places for the storage OF explosives
within prescribed distance of a public
highway operated to prevent the accom-
rIishment of the boards purposes
The report shows the board to be en-
thusiastic in favor of Iona Island IL is
endorsed as well situated for naval pur-
poses and for purposes of safety II will

and the board says that the West Shore
Railroad. whose tracks are nearest to the
island have no objection to the erection

WATER FOR HILLsDAIE.
Report on the Difficulties in OBJ
tanning q supply.

On complaint of several residents of
Hillsdale that the locality in which they
live is insufficiently supplied with water,
the District Commissioners recently or
dsred an investigation into the facts. In
the complaint referred to it was stated that
twenty-five families living in T Street,
Hillsdale. have no water for protection
against fire within half mile of them
The matter having been referred to the
Water Department, Superintendent W. \.
Mcfarland. after a thorough investigation.
has submitted his report. He states that
efforts have been made by mis- depart
ment to locate deep wells in the district
referred to, and, with one exception with
out success well in T Street Hillsdale,
was drilled to depth of 500 feet and no
water found. Another we'll, at Buena
Vista, was drilled to a depth OF $40 feet
and no water found. third well was
sunk on Stanton Avenue, and, at depth
of 1870 feet flow of water amounting to
nine gallons a minute was obtained
Superintendent Mcfarland further states
that there is no appropriation for the pur-
pose of digging shallow wells in the Dis
trict OF Columbia. The extension Of the
Potomac water service to the area In
question he regards impossible. until
pumping station is established east OF
Anacostia River.
The elevation of I Street. Hhlsdale,

to Orani, by launch and arrived there in
good shape. An experiment was made by
sending fresh beef to San Mateo, and the
commissary reports that it arrived in good
shape and would have kept fifteen hours
longer. On last Monday shipment OF
fresh beef was made to Bocave, on the rail
road and reshipped to Narzagaray by
wagon transportation. Major Short reports
that it arrived in frozen condition.
Troops at Dagupan and vicinity, and
troops along the railroad, and points off
the road are supplied with fresh beef from
a refrigerator car, which is sent from this
depot This car was built by the Quarter
master Department upon the request OF
the depot commissary. 1t will hold about
ten tons of fresh beef and 5000 pounds cf
ice. 1t has two compartments. and the
meat keeps in excellent condition until ex-
hausted. This car is sent back on the day
which the last beef Is taken out, and on
that night is restocked with beef and ice
and sent up on the 9 O'Clock a. n. train,
so that the troops are only without fresh
beef one issue.
Another car will be built, and then even
greater facility will be at hand TO expedite
the supply. In all of the foregoing ship
ments they are practically made TO points
Of distribution, and the meat is sent from
these points still farther out to companies
stationed at villages and at outposts, etc.
Packing for Shipment.
I'm packing frozen fresh meat the object
is TO exclude the air, and the closer packed
the better 1t keeps. When fresh meat is
sent to organizations serving in the city
no protection is necessary as the beef is
too hard frozen when issued for early con-
sumption. When sent out distance from
the depot protection is necessary from the
sun. The quarters are closely packed in
wagons or carts and covered with canvas.
When carried on pack mules the quarters
are cut and the pieces wrapped in small
pieces of canvas. When sent out on cars
for local delivery the quarters are closely
packed in an ordinary box car, and the
doors kept closed. except when meat is
taken out When stored in the refrigerator
car the quarters are closely packed. and
piled so that all space is filled.
1T is a peculiar fact. but the fresh meat
helps to preserve the ice, for when the
ice is first put in the car it melts very
rapidly. As soon as the car is filled with
frozen meat the ice melts very slowly. Six
thousand pounds of ice preserves 10000
pounds of fresh meat for FIVE or six days.

MINERS RIGHTS IN ALASKA.
The CommissiOner OF the Lnnd Office
Gives an Opinion About Them

Gives an Opinion About Them.
The Commissioner of the General Land
Office has sent Il communication to DR. j. S.
McCue. Of Juneau. Alaska regarding the
right of miners TO locate along the beach
at Cape Nome and in other portions of
Alaska The communication. which is
dated March /. says that the Commissioner
has decided with the sanction of the Sec
rotary of the Interior, that under the ex-
listing laws he has no authority. and there
is no provision for disposing of any portion
of the beach between the ordinary high and
low tide. Mr.. Hermann continues to state
that it is still a question whether Con-
gress can dispose of the tide lands. since
il has been decided that such lands are held
in trust for future statehood No title
can be given TO what may be termed min
ing property upon the beach between high
and low water.
Mr.. McCue recommended that this space
be left open to be controlled by such regu
latlons as may be made by the miners
themselves. To this the Commissioner of
the Land Office replied that this. perhaps
will be the view taken by Congress.
In his communication to the General
Land Office, Mr.. McCue said that the mines
at Cape Nome are different from any in the
United States, being all placer. and very
shallow and requiring no capital. One
hundred acres, cut into claims 100 feet
square, would make $40 claims sufficiently
large TO make 4 satisfactory fortune for
prospector or miner

Since my last report there have been

with no deaths.
The disease has reached the Island of

posed fine of 800 on any person collect
ing garbage or material from the burned
and infected districts. A crusade against
rats has begun. which will doubtless prove
a valuable means of Kidding the city of
infection. The outlook for this town is
now bright las the main centres of infec-
ton have been destroyed, although iso-
lated cases will undoubtedly crop out here
and there for some time to come.
The only permanent safety for Homo

large company, a dozen whose talent
is far above the average. both among
the singers and speciality artists. The
programme is a long, novel and inter-
esting one. The opening sketch called
"7-11-77" is one designed to set the
hilarity going and fully carries out it's
purpose. The farcicai skit will long
be remembered by those who witness
it as something truly laughable and
jolly. The excellent olio which i'm

eye for the beautiful, as some of the
