A RANK INJUSTICE.

Lie IrequenU appearance vi large
numbers of catalogues sent out by such
firms as Walker Bros, the Boston
Store, u. G. M. l., and Auerback's, of
Salt Lake City, Mandel's, The Fair,
Montgomery Ward & Co., of Chicago,
and various other of the large depart
ment stores, brings to mind the rank
injustice too many citizens in every
town and small city in the country
continually practice upon their home
merchants-and Logan is certainly
not an exception i'm this respect.
Persons who receive these immense
catalogues grab them eagerly, quickly
work up their imagination to point
where they believe they can save an
immense amount of money by dealing
direct with these department stores
and promptly fire of a 81 money order
for $l5 ~ suit of clothes, 1925 for an
80 ~ silk skirt, and SIS for $50 side
board-not to mention $l.37 for pair OF

telescope thrown In. The goods come,
plus great freight or expense charges
are unsatisfactory two-thirds of the
time, but because it involves consider
able trouble and very strong effort to
get the cash back In hand, the goods
are kept. The victim swears under
his breath for few days, and-then
makes fool of himself again. Thus
the merchant at home who contri-
butes to all the institutions Of the
community, pays his taxes and i'm
proves his property, is placed in unjust
competition and left to hustle for trade
and exc out hard-earned existence.
Ten-to-one If the purchaser from the
city store had gone to his home mer.
chant he would have found as good
bargains and by buying Of him would
have helped place the merchant in a
position to give him better bargains
in the future, besides keeping at home
the money that otherwise goes entire

That the home merchant Is victim
OF the city department stores and the
cerdulousness of the people, does not
warrant the belief that the home mer
chant himself is not responsible to 9
certain extent for this state Of affairs
In fact he is responsible, and to large
extent. If the home merchant by
proper and judicious advertising kept
before the public the bargains he ha.

that buyers of foreign firms would Sc,

suspected that human beings were
suffering down there.
The laborers generally live in the
vicinity Of the points at which they
enter their underground workshops.
At seven o'clock or earlier they begin
the descent. Then they ride on tram
cars. sometimes for miles. before they
reach the point at which the days
actual labor is begun. Great loads
Of building material are transported
under ground. heavy machines are put
to service and the building Of the tun-
mel proceeds at a rapid rate. BY the
light Of lamps OF electricity the men
eat their lunches, and at the close
Of the day, long after the sunlight is
gone, they return TO see darkened
city.
In such construction work as that
Of the water tunnel TO the two-mile
crib men were sent below the surface
and remained there for days, In some
cases for weeks. More excluded from
the world at large than coal miners,
they saw only occasionally an inspec-
tor or party Of engineers visiting
their dark, damp prison.
And after such a tunnel Is complet-
ed constant repairs are required. Men
must crawl back TO these recesses with
their brick and mortar and their lad
ders. hundreds being thus employed.
Like those who build the subterranean
passages they rarely see the sunlight
more than a few minutes after break
fast.
Superstitions range among these
mole-iike workers somewhat as they
do among the miners. For terrible
tragedies have happened in the dark
chambers, and the ghosts of the vic

never come TO the surface, for they

But TO mention some others Of these
many metropolitan workers who are
deprived of the light Of day. For one
there are the ianitors in the big build
ings, the coal shovelers, the fremen and
all their retinues crawling in base
ments 20 feet below the surface, to
give light and air and heat to the
men above. These men see daylight
only on alternate Sundays-their Holt
days.
To go a little further-there are the
factory hands in the big shops. The
development of the~electric lighting
systems has made possible the build
Ing Of factories on an entirely differ
ent plan Of that in vogue rs years ago,
so that slylights are superfuous and
the entire solid space Is utilized. The
great harvesting works, the machine
shops, the Irvine, clothing and shoe
factories of Chicago are all con-
structed on this plan. Only a small
percentage Of the men being priv
legged to work at the windows, all the
others depend for sight on the huge
arc lights scattered through the fac
tories. Thus thousands and tens Of
thousands spend their lives.
In the same way also the modern
skyscrapers send daylight only into
fraction. perhaps one-ffth, Of all the
Offices. There IN labyrinth Of Offices
are desks and desEs and desks; each
with fits incadescent light, at which
many thousands spend their lives. IT
IL the same in the Offices Of the whole
sale houses, in the recesses Of the re-
tail stores, in the shops from one end
Of the city TO the other-night every
where, from sunrise 10 sunset, we live
amid night lit by twentieth century
electricity.
And the city-bred man, unaware of
the treasure be is missing, rushes to
his shop, his office or his store. never
breathing the sun-purified air in which
his country cousin is growing morally
and physically strong.

Especial chicago letter.

Wr's a wonderful sight-the life and
hustle on the streets of metropo-
lis. But more wonderful perhaps
is the life underground. There are
several thousands of men. and even
some hundreds of women, toiling day
after day, night after night. coming TO
the sunlit streets only on special oeca-
sions-as a villager may take trip
from time to time to the nearest city.
Underground Chicago has popu-
lation varying according to the season
of the year and the number of tunnel
projects. municipal sewer plans and
railroad enterprises in process of con-
strnction. At present this under
ground population is estimated at
s.0O0-quite fair-sized town-and If
the wives and children were included
we could fill a city of no mean proper
tions. Chicago with its sandy soil, its
low level and other Typographical
drawbacks can boast by no means OF
as large underground population as
Boston which at one time, when the
subway was building and when some
other big projects were under way, had
working below the surface of the
streets almost 10000 men. In New
York, Detroit. Cincinnati and other
cities the residents walk above the
heads of many thousands more of I'M
seen fellow creatures.
So taking Chicago as a modest type
or average of big city, we find thai
there's a world beneath q world, rival
ing perhaps the famous catacombs of
Rome and the underground palaces OF
Alexandria. Chicago's bureau Of pub
lie works estimates that some 500, 0O0,-
900 is invested in brick and stone, pipe
and electric wire under the seemingly
solid pavements. There are vast cham
bers heavily lined with brick and sewer
pipes through which large coach
could comfortably be moved.

rushing TO completion, or rather try
ing to rush, for there has been trouble
with contractors and consequently
much delay. The largest of these sew
ers is on the South side-at Thirty
ninth street, and will have, when COM
pleted, an inside diameter of 20 feet
and will be four and a half miles long.
There are nearly 1000 miles of wa
terpipe, 800 miles of sewer pipe, 900
miles of telephone conduit and duct,
800 miles of gas mains, and 10000
miles of underground telephone wire.
Besides there are the cable ducts, the
street railway tunnels and the under
ground trolley lines. This net of ave-
nues strung out would encircle the
earth three times and for a man to
walk and crawl through 1t once would
be a task of years.

Chicago's water tunnels are as fol-
lows: Ten-foot tunnel, 40 miles;
eight-foot tunnel, 9.s miles; seven-foot
tunnel, 1f.s miles; six-foot tunnel. 81
miles; five-foot tunnel, 3.6 miles. This
makes a total of almost 3s miles of
gigantic tunneling through which row
boats--yes, even small yachts could
be taken-that is when the water Is
at the proper level in the pipes. In
fact, little race between row boats
could comfortably be held, Immediate
ly under State street, where the shop

values of securities are set.
From the tunnels the smaller pipes
