The Height Of Waterfalls.
TO the Editor of The Evening Star.

To the Edltor OF The Evening star:
The article in Wednesday evenings issue.
from the Denver Republican, headed Wa
terfall Of 97S Feet" attracts my attention
not alone because a certain Mr.. Durham
shows so little knowledge Of the worlds
great waterfalls, but because The Star
gives currency to the Republicans guess
that this fall probably enjoys the distinc-
ton Of being the highest waterfall in the
world While I recognize the untamable
desire of the average newspaperman to talk
of each new discovery Chat Is, new to him,
though not to geographers and travelers),
as the biggest in the world. I cannot re-
frain from pointing to our California Yose-
mite. the first fall being 1,50O feet, and to
quite a score of other falls on this globe Of
considerably greater height than the Mexi-
can one in question, even If 1t were 97S feet
high. which 1t is not. The Republicans own
state furnishes one such rivulet that falls
a greater distance, If not two. I say rtvu-
let advisedly, as the falls described by Mr..
Durham are dry a good part Of the year.
The measured height Of this cataract, taking
a mean between the very similar results Of
two careful explorers. is 1872 feet, or but
little over one-half of that OF our greatest
Yosemite.

Bad Car Service.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1t seems shame that the law-abiding
citizens of Northeast Washington must
contend with the wretched car service that
has been forced upon them by the opera
tors of the G street and Brookland divi-
sions OF the syndicate's lines. Any fair
minded person will agree that in the dead
Of winter half-open and half-closed cars
are not fit for any one to ride in. Those
who are compelled to be the victims Of this
terrible service know full well that it Is
very disagreeable in either portion Of these
unsightly cars. II 1t be the open portion
one freezes II it be the closed part one
smothers and IL crowded beyond endur-
ance. Besides the inferior cars the time
schedule upon which they are run 10 out
rageous One must stand from ten to
twenty-five minutea waiting for q car and
then very disagreeable ride. The Star,
am sure, will publish this. and hope that
the citizens Of Northeast Washington may
take this matter up and compel the man
ayers to give the people their moneys
worth" In fair, comfortable and regular
car service. L. A. STERNE

them to establish selling price, as an in
crease may come at any time without no
tice. The price wholesale from the COM
pany's tank wagon on the street in summer
was cents per gallon, but as the demand
increased so did the price, when on Tues
day Of this week an additional l cent was
charged, making the wholesale price .
cents per gallon. When one considers what
this increase means to the Golfers of the
Standard OIL Company, and at the same
time reflects what it also means to another

make US wonder where the end will be.
Many of the consumers OF oil are impressed

Massillon, March 22.-Representa-
tiyes of the Massillon Coal Mining
company and sub-district officials OF
the United Mine Workers union, who
met in joint conference in the council
chamber Friday evening for the pur-
pose of fixing scale for machine min
ing in the Massillon district, adjourned
Friday evening without reaching an
agreement.
The mining company was represent
ed by w. J. Mullins, T. Fl. Geltz, Will
liam Bumgardner, Henry Leheay and
William Kutz. The miners were rep
resented by Sub-District President
Robert Legg, Vice President Evans
and Secretary John Morgan.
Machines are used in only two mines
in the Massillon district, the Stanwood
mine and the Gels mine. The mine
workers representatives contend that
there ought to be differential be-
tween the Massillon district and the
Hooking Valley district. In the joint
conference it was demanded that the
differential should be cents a ton.
making the price in this district SO
cents ton. 1t was contended that the
coal here is more difficult to work than
In other districts. The vein Is thick
er and the coal is harder to shoot
down.
The miners further claim that on the
bottom of the vein in this district
there is on an average, four inches Of
slate, which the miners working after
the machines must handle. This con-
dition, they claim, does not exist in
other districts.
The question will be taken up again
next week, probably Monday, IL the en-
gineers' scale is fixed before that time.

LIVE PIGEONS
Cannot Longer Be Used
as Targets
IF THE BILL PASSES
Humane Societies OF Ohio
Agitating the Passage of
a Law Prohibiting
the Sport.

The humane societies of the state Of
Ohio are taking active measures to
have the Brannock bill passed by the
legislature. This measure if enacted
by the legislature will make it unlaw-
full to shoot live pigeons at the traps
in Ohio.
The gun club of Canton does not often
use live pigeons. although several
shoots have been held. Ordinarily
clay pigeons are thrown from the trap,
and on several occasions English spar
rows have been used to test the skill
of the marksmen.
Some of the sporting associations
are fighting the passage of the bill,
but as rule no effort is being made in
the matter by sportsmen, owing to the
small number who are interested. II
is not known how Stark county's rep
resentatives stand.
The Cleveland humane society Is
sending out an open letter to the peo-
pie of the state, asking that letters
be written to representatives and sen
ators, asking that the Brannock bill
be passed. The letter is as follows:
For many years. to greater or less
extent, the practice of shooting live
pigeons from traps has been carried on
In this state, and thousands of pigeons
have been slaughtered, tortured and
manned under the guise of sport.
Men who are caught causing two
dogs to fight are arrested. Punish
ment is given to those who have {
hand in cock fighting. and there is 6
law also against the catching of birds
by means Of traps. Yet, there is moth
ing upon the statute books of this
state which prevents the killing

of helpless birds In single day by
