These improvements, made at great
cost 10 the Water Company viii. it can
readily be seen, insure to Raleigh better
water from every standpoint than ii has
ever before had.
Mr.. A. f. Boardman, Of Brevard. n. c.,
one of the most competent and expert
enced constructing engineers in the South,
has been in charge of these improvements.
Speaking of the plant, as turned over to
the directors yesterday afternoon. he
said:
1T is the best equipped plant for it's
size in the South. 1t has larger pump
ing, fltering and reservoir capacity-in
proportion to the demand on. titan any
city of the South. It's total pumping ca
pacity is $500, 900 gallons a day; its filter
ing capacity 100000 gallons a day. and
this, with very small cost, can be in
creased to 100000 gallons a day; the
reservoir capacity is 100000 gallons.
The city of Raleigh uses only about
1900 600 gallons day-never more than
1900 600 gallons and never less than
,000, 600 The largest amount Of water
is used during the morning; very little is
used at night During the morning we
run three and sometimes four filters; at
night only one or two. Less water is
used on Sunday than on any other day"
The plant was inspected yesterday af-
ternoon by the following officers of the
Water Company: President, julius Lewis;
vice president. A. A. Thompson; director,
II. w. Jackson, and superintendent, Ern-
est B. Balm. They were accompanied by
Constructing Engineer a. e. Boardman
and a party of local newspaper men.
They were shown over the whole plant.
the working of the machinery explained
and the new filters thoroughly tested.
Mr.. Boardman has made many friends
during his stay in this city and the Off
GERS and directors of the Water Company
express themselves as highly pleased
with the work he has done for them.

The directors of the penitentiary met
yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock and were

Emergency Rate on Corn Goes
Into Effect Today.
Further Reductions Made on
Rates East Of River.
INTERMEDIATE POINTS
Low Rate Announced on Hay
From Western Kansas.
Kansas City Gets Benefit Of a
Liberal Reduction.

The Santa Fe's emergency rate on
corn went into effect today. as the
State Journal announced last week
would be the case.
Some further reductions on the rate
east Of Missouri river points We're an
nounced. The basis between Chicago
and Kansas City is 10 cents; from Pc
kin, his, 81 cents. and from the Mis-
sissippi river points cents. BY adj
ding to each of these the minimum
charge Of : cents to ansas points
from Kansas City, the minimum
through rate can be ascertained-
The first plan of the Santa Fe was to
put into effect a rate of 40 cents IRON
all points east of the Missouri river, re-
CARELESS of distance 1t was feared by
the Santa Fe that q differential rate 10
intermediate points would cause trOu-
Bile between the Santa F'e and roads IN
Iowa, but apparently this trouble has
been averted, and the differentials put
into effect.
The Santa Fe has also announced.
effective tomorrow. a maximum rate on
hay of 171k cents from stations, Dodge
City to Fowler, Col, inclusive, to ran
sas City This is a reduction OF from
"a to "a cents per 100 pounds, and is
more important from the fact that all
lines have given notice that. effective
rates on hay from stations in trans
Missouri territory east of Colorado
common points Cheyenne, Wyo-, to
Trinidad. COLI to Mississippi river
points and Chicago 2 cents per 100
pounds which advance does not apply
to Kansas City.
Speaking Of the reduced rate on hay,
the Kansas City Journal this morning
says. This advance to Chicago and
the Mississippi river and the Santa Fe
reduction to Kansas City is expected to
force hay from the territory affected to
Kansas City as against any other mar
ket, and as il is a great alfalfa cOun-
try, hay dealers here are preparing 10
handle alfalfa in much larger volume
than heretofore. This has never been
an alfalfa market and little has been
handled here. Some OF the dealers be-
lieve. however, that with the impetus
which will be given the business this
year. owing to the drouth and conse-
quent scarcity of hay. they can estab-
lish an important alfalfa trade on a
permanent business"
There is practically no doubt but that
all competing lines will meet the action
of the Santa Fe, naming emergency
rates on corn west bound and on hay
from the alfalfa districts to Kansas
City.
