Mr.. MCDONNELL EXPLAINS .
The WaterwOrks Engineer Tells How
the Gas Mains Are Being
Laid.
Editor REGISTER:

Editor REGISTER:
Regarding the communication of L.
G. Beatty on the laying of the city gas
main in the same trench with the water
main, some statements are made APP
parently without thought or investiga-
tion and rather than have the public
receive wrong impression of the
matter little explanation is given.
| The water main is laid to depth of
four feet, then covering of two feet
of earth is made on the water main,
at this height in the ditch or two feet
from the Itop, the ditch is widened
from six inches to foot by cutting
down one side of the trench, leaving q
solid shoulder ,of solid earth upon
which the gas main rests. This makes
it impossible to cause the shrinkage.
of earth away from beneath the gas
main. Had Mr.. Beatty carefully ex-
amined the work he would at once
have seen his error. One main is laid
above and to the side of the other,
separated by over two feet of earth,
hence the topping of the water mains
will not disturb the gas mains. Grant
ing the statement that the leakage fol-
lows the line Of least resistance it can
be readily seen that the line of least
resistance is not along the water
main, but up through the trench. Gas
will not push its way downward
through two feet of earth to escape
when it has an easier and shorter
means upward or along the ras main
itself. The mousse taps from the water
mains are about three-fourths of an
inch in size and laid to a depth of four
feet, how then is it possible for gas to
pass down through the two or more
feet of ground and follow out the water
connections? Even if it did any gas
that should follow out would escape
at the curb box and not enter the
houses at all.
This plan that is being used here in
lola has been followed formany years
in some OF the largest cities in this
country and Europe, and no accident
due to the leakage of the gas along
water mains has ever yet resulted
therefrom to my knowledge. | feel
sure that upon being made acquainted
with the real facts in the case Mr..
Beatty will withdraw his objections.
| wish to assure the public that the
city council, the contractor and my
self have the utmost regard for the
safety of the public and every precau-
tion is taken to that end.
Very truly yours,
II. +. MCDONNELL, Engineer.

ELECTRICIAN and ENGINEER.
City Council at Called Meeting
Selects Mr.. II. c. Howard to 0per-
ate the City's Machinery.

There was u called meeting of the
city council in the city hall Monday
evening at which the question of select
ing an electrician and engineerto look
after the engine, pumps and dynamo
at the river power house was settled.
The committee to whom had been
referred the applications, three in
number, to-wit: f. c. Howard, Chas.
Upton and w. l.. Allison, recommend
ed that Il vote be taken. The first bal
lot stood; Howard ., Upton ,, Allison
|. Howard was declared chosen. He
is at present employed as machinst
by the Lanyon Zinc Company, and
lives at $40 north jefferson avenue.
He has several very handsome recon-
mendutions both as machinist and
electrician. His was the first applica-
ton filed, along last fall, and his
ability to fiji the place acceptbly
seems mquestioned. Mr.. Allison was
handicapped by being a member of the
council. Mr.. Upton who is now en-
ployed at the Bush brick plant was
also well recommended.
The mayor and clerk were instructed
by the council to sign contract sub
mitted by the Missouri Pacific railway
granting the city the right to lay water
pipes across its right-ot-way.
The council also decided to specify
the Anderson coupling for the new fire
apparatus and to write to the Fire
Engine company telling them to supply
/ it with the engine ordered.
The committee on fire department.
was instructed to secure plans and
specifications and estimates for suit-
able building for the fire engine.
A committee of two councilmen, who
with the mayor as chairman shall
negotiate the purchase of team of
! fire horses, was selected.
The council then adjourned.

Manila, Jan. lj.-IIopefulness is
taking the place of conservatism

causes are the numerous surrenders

which crime Alexander was accused.
Miss Forbes, who was twenty years
of age, was employed in candy
factory. She had started from work
at 6 o'clock, walking as was her
custom. She failed to reach home
that night, and her body was found in
ravine near her home on the follow
ing morning. Marks on her throat
indicated that she had been murdered
by strangulation, and the surround
ings gave evidence of terrible strug-
gle. She had first been assaulted.
Several arrests were made, but no

Never so Many Pensioners on
the Roll Before
A BIG GAIN LAST YEAR
Commissioner Evans Pre-
pares a Statement
1t Shows an Increase of 4.206 Over
the List of the Year Previous

Washington, Aug. 1s.-Commis-
sioner Evans has prepared a state
ment showing the operations in prin-
cipal features of the pension bureau
during the last fiscal year as compared
with former years. Most of the data
will be embodied in his annual report
and the statement is prepared for the
use of the national encampment of the
G. A. r., which will beheld before the
report is ready.l
1t shows that the lumber of pension
ers on the rolls June 30 last was 997, =
1856, a net gain of 4, 206 over last year.
The total net loss to the roll during
the year was 43, $50, which includes
3S, 153 by death, sj3 by re-marriage,
1852 by minors reaching the age of
16, 1,53S by failure to claim pensions,
and | AGO from other causes. A com
parative table shows that the roll for
the year just closed is the "high-
water mark" in the history of the pen
sion bureau, the next highest having
been reached in 1898. OF the gains to
the rolls during the year, 3,S49 were
from the war with Spain. The losses
included two from the Revolution; 215
from the war of 1872; S2G from the war
with Mexico, and 554 from the Indian
wars. The gains to the roll since 1898
were 13, 334 widows of the civil war,
and 1904 from the Spanish war: total,
1888, The net gain to the rolls in
the -four years was 4,02l.
Pensions granted to widows under
the act of June 27, 1890, during the
year numbered 1860, or nearly 1900
in excess of those granted the previous
year.

STATEHOOD CONVENTION
Dennis Flynn Thinks 0klahomans
Should Act in Autumn.

Guthrie, Ok, August 16'-Delegate
Dennis T. Flynn, who says he is con-
fidently of the opinion that Oklahoma
will be given Statehood at the next ses-
sion of Congress, is in favor of hold
ing a non-partisan statehood conven-
tion this fall to take such steps as will
impress Congress with the necessity
and justice of immediate statehood.
gardless of Indian Territory, but
would offer no objection to adding
Indian Territory to Oklahoma after
the latter has thrown of territorial
government.
Flynn's position is fairly outlined
in the Fairbanks statehood bill. Nat
urally he wishes to see Oklahoma the
beneficiary of all political and other
advantages that might accrue from
her getting statehood without waiting
for Indian Territory.
A leading member of the Non-Parti-
san Statehood league, an Oklahoma
organization, said to-day that he
doubted the wisdom of holding a
statehood convention this fall. He
feared that conflicting opinions on the
question of single or separate state
hood might provoke much dissension
in the convention, that injury rather
than benefit would result and Okla
homa be handicapped in her fight in
Congress next winter. The league
met at Guthrie during the sitting of
the legislature last winter and APP
pointed a committee to draft memo
rial to Congress. This memorial has
never been prepared. The league
members who doubted the wisdom of
holding convention thought that
memorial properly written and pre-
sented would have greater effect in
Congress than the holding of another
convention. Should it be thought
best to hold convention it will be
called to meet about October l5 or
November |.
