The only right way for corpora
tion or city to sell water is by meter.
Then everyone pays for just what
they receive and everyone pays alike.
The St. Adams Messenger is advocat-
ing the meter system for that enter
priSing city. Statistics show that in
1875 cities where there was a scarcity
of water before meters were put on,
the supply was ample after they were
put in. Where meters are used very
little water is wasted. The indivi.
dual has personal financial interest
in the matter and after one expert
ment will see that every faucet is
kept tight and all waste prevented.
More water is wasted in every city
where there are no meters than is
used. Let every one pay alike for
water. One rate for rich and poor.
Prevent waste, ETC., by using meters.

The TELEGRAM notes in some of the
state papers this week the use of the
flag Of the United States at the head
of new columns announcing the result
Of the national election. No paper
in the state is more sincere in it's be-
lief that with the reelection of Will
liam Mckinley as president Of the
Uuited States the American people
are to be congratulated and that the
growing prosperity which has marked
his past administration will be contin.
ued in the future. But there are al
most as many true and loyal citizens
of the same government who favored
the losing candidate as there are those
who share our opinions and it is AT
insiouation against the honesty and
integrity Of these men to tlaunt the
stars and stripes before them in their
hour Of defeat as a hostile emblem.
1t is narrow view, in which we can
not share, to suppose that any man is
a traitor to his country for not taking
the same stand as we do in national
politics, and as for the stars and stripes,
they wave over us all and they belong
no more to one citizen of the United
States than it does to another no mat
ter what his polite may be.

FROM The PHILIPPINES.
A Former Barre Boy Writes to His
Friends at Home.

James Sullivan recently received a
very interesting letter from Alfred j..
Matthews, a former Barre boy, who
worked at the fork shops, but who is
now in the same company with Max
Severance in active service in the
Philippines. The letter in part is as
follows
My Dear Friend Jim
Since Feb. %, 1900, my company
has been stationed in the town Of
Slang, doing garrison duty. or course
it is little easier than being with the
column advancing on the towns and
lying down wherever night oyertakes
US, as the 46th did from Christmas
'99 until Jan. 10Th, 1900, enduring
the worst of hardship, until at last
my company was left in Binan to do
garrison duty, when we changed with
the LIST battalion and came Slang,
where we are now, but the rest of the
regiment is about 40 miles away from
Manila escorting wagon trains.
Aug. 25th, detail of ten men went
out scouting, leaving at $50 a. M,
and got back to town at 6 80 p. m,
after travelling distance Of Is miles
through mud and mire up to their
knees. Such is life in the Philippines
for soldier boy trying to civilize
these natives, wearing our lives away
to save a race that it will take life
time to teach a little bit.
The natives do not come out and
give us good stiff fight but wait to
ambush small details that are sent
out to scout the country.
There are quite good many Mont
pelier boys in my company and some
from Barre of which Max E. Sever
ance, Corp. Co. L, and William E.
Kingston, formerly stonecutter of
Barre wish to be remembered to all
their Barre friends. The boys are all
getting along nicely but we long to
see the green hills of ola Vermont
once more.
We will however serve our country
faithfully and when we get out of the
U. S., employ we will live easy and
be more contented to settle down to
business and tell our little st ries of
the Philippine Islands.
The first school house in SLANG
was built by CD. w. S. Scuyler and
the natives admire it very much, but
it is an exceedingly noisy school. 1t
would drive an American teacher in
sane. All the pupils study aloud SO
that it is impossible to hear the teach
er advising and instructing them.
The people in the States must not |
think that garrison duty is snap. 1t is
not. AS l said before, it is better |
than being with the column however.
But one does not have feather beds to
lie on here. 1t is bamboo floor.
The bamboo is split about the size of
a slat about an inch wide and here you
spread your little blanket down ard
go to sleep to wake up in the morning
with ridges on your body like zebra.
1t is no fun and it is better than
lying on the ground out of doors in
the mud and water with those black
ants to eat you up, and the snakes
md lizards to crawl over you, while
jhe rations are corned beef and bacon,
hard bread and coffee. The regiment
1t one time had many sick, but it is
now.

FISHING SEASON CLOSES TO-DAY.
Washington and Oregon Laws Are the
Same in This Respect.

The question regarding the closing
OF the fishing season on the Washington
side Of the river Is still the main topic
for discussion among the fishermen.
but those who have concluded to fish
on the Washington side after today
noon. when the season closes, will find
themselves in the clutches OF the law.
That the fishing laws OF Oregon and
Washington coincide regarding the time
for the closing Of the season Will be
clearly understood by a reading of the
following law OF Washington:
- 1t shall be unlawful to
take or fish for salmon in the Columbia
river or its tributaries. or within three
miles outside of the mouth of said
Columbia river by any means whatever
in any year between the hours OF u
m. the first day Of March and 12 m. the
18th day Of April, or between the hours
of 70 m. the 10th day Of August and l2
m. the 10th day Of September.
IL HG pthdANS AOA AShAAb dANSA 1hS law
goes into effect is fixed at from $50 to
$1,000.
Fish Commissioner Reed said yes
terday; "The season will be over to-
morrow, and confess that am just as
anxious as can be to see what the re-
suits Of the last few months in this
industry have been. expect that ev-
eryone concerned will be thoroughly
satisfied with the catch, and from what
1 have been given to understand, more
money will be in circulation this year
as direct result from the business
than has been the case for long time.
Of course. there will be more fishing
men who will disregard the notice and
law, and who will continue to ply their
trade. do not think that violations
of the law will be very extensive. Prob
ably one or two men will catch half
barrel or so to salt for their own use,
but l am sure that this will be the
extent Of any illegitimate business"

The special board appointed to locate
site for a drydock on the Columbia
practically insures the construction OF
a dock when the river channel has been
deepened, Astorla's chances for OBJ
tanning the dock are excellent, judging
from the following report Of the board;
The mouth OF the Columbia is one OF
the four points on the Pacific coast
which afford safe harbor for moder-
ate-draft shipping. II Is the natural
outlet OF an immense productive coun-
try and as shipping point is import
ant, because Of Its excellent through
railroad communications. Its position.
500 miles from San Francisco. and its
being the orly available point between
San Francisco and Puget sound, makes
1t highly important from a strategic
standpoint to have the Columbia avail
able as harbor Of refuge and for the
repair Of naval vessels. more especial
ly as the entrance to the Puget sound
naval station lies between shores. one
Of which belongs to another nation.
The mouth of the Columbia, with the
modern defenses established and APP
proprlated for Is amply defended
against possible hostile forces. The
Columbia. from a point Is miles above
Its mouth, is always fresh. Numerous
mountain streams afford an abundant
supply of portable water anywhere in
the river, Ample railroad communica-
ton Is found in n railroad on the south
bank Of the Columbia clear to its
mouth near Astoria. BY the railroad
supplies can be received from all the
great railroads leading into Portland.
Portland Is the largest city In the eX-
treme Northwest, is convenient to all
points on the Columbia, and Is an ex-
cellent labor-supply center. The climate
of the Columbia river is mild, with but
little snow, and work at shipyard
could proceed without interruption
Throughout the year. In considering the
advlsabllity OF establishing drydocS
on the Columbia, the depth of water
at the mouth Of that river must be
the leading consideration" .-.
