Santa Fe Protests Against San

Does Not Want Cheap Material
Used in Construction.

Gen. Manager Wells Advocates
Use of Cast Iron Pipes.
Gives Good Advice to the City
Officials.

San Bernardino, Cal, Dec 3-Opposi-
ton to the water bonds has developed
in q new and unexpected quarter, as
shown by the following letter from Gen
eraI Manager eWells of the Santa Fe to
President Hanford:
Mr.. J. J. Hanford. Mayor, San Bernar-
d@-,o:
NV Dear Sir-My attention has been
called today to ordinance No. 267, pub
lished in San Bernardino papers, COW
ering a proposed water system for your
town. I deduce from the figures of
cost per lineal foot that in addition to
kalamein pipe-which is particularly
specified, and which has proven unsat-
isfactory in many localities, notably
San Diego-that it is proposed to employ
in the installation of these water works
sheet steel pipe as distributing mains.
1t seems to me incredible in. these
days, with the history that has been
made with sheet steel and kalamein pipe
that serious consideration should be
given to the expenditure of 100000 for
this class of material in connection with
a distributing water system for so i'm :
portant town as San Bernardino-and,
representing. as 1 do, the largest tax
payer in the city of San Bernardino. l
view with alarm the expenditure of SO
much money for this purpose, which will
doubtless call for at least one and prob
ably two more similar expenditures be-
fore the bonds have matured.
The Southern California railway has
public improvements and willingly as
sumes its share of taxation for such
improvements as are needed to serve
the people of the various municipalities
which its line traverses, but I cannot
refrain from entering my protest against
the unwise expenditure of the money as
proposed by the ordinance referred to,
il my assumption is correct that the
class of material stated will be en-
Dlcyed.
We have a large corps of competent
engineers, whose testimony 1 will be
the use of sheet steel pipe for water dis
getting more light on the question than
is at your command
I shall hope to have assurance that
you will not countenance this unwise
expenditure of money. Very truly
yours, A. G. WELLS,
General Mana ger
In order to get at his views more fully
the committee of thirty-four met last
night at the office of Judge Thomas and
had a heart to heart talk with Mr..
Wells. It was learned that Mr.. Wells
favored the installation of cast iron
pipe, which would swell the bond issue
to the immense sum. of $400, 900 in the
opinion of the experts. That amount of
municipal Indebtedness is beyond the
limit allowed by 3aw.ta .hrs -Tss Fai4isi
City Attorney Haskell and George Nj
Cooley were appointed as a committee
to prepare a statement giving figures on
the cost of cast iron piping system.
They will report at a future meeting.

GOING AFTER OIL.
Harmed to Sink Prospect Hole for
Fuel.

Larned. Kas., Dec. 3.-Enthused by
the discovery of gas at Winfield, the
people of Larned have again taken up
the subject of sinking a prospect hole
near the southern part of the city,
where the rock formation is said to be
very much similar to that in the oil
region around Chanute. An effort will
be made to secure the company who
drilled the well at Winfield to come here
and continue the work at the old well
that was opened some ten years ago and
ended by striking only a heavy flow of
salt water.
At the present prices of coal, the
striking of oil or gas would be great
boon to this section of the state.

AT HEAD OF AMERICAN ILLUSTRATORS

At the head of American illustrators
of the day, Howard Pyle, the simplicity
of his life and manner unspoiled by
rapidly growing fame and fortune, is
going steadily forward, his latest work
always his best.
Mr.. Pyle was born in Wilmington in
1868, and this city is still his home
and working place. His house and
studios-there are several, his own
large, light, severely plain workshop,
and smaller ones for favorite pupils
are as charming as one would expect to
find the surroundings Of the author
and artist of "The Rose of Paradise
and 1.-THE Garden Behind the Moon. -
Mr.. Pyle has taught large number
Of illustrators and mas always helping
word and hand for the younger artists.
His industry may be judged from a
list of his books, whicn includes,
besides the works above mentioned
..The Merry Adventures of Robin
Hood, Pepper aud Salt, " ''Withia
the Capes," "The Wonder Clock, -
lotto Of the Silver Hand" ia
Modern Aladdin "Men of Iron, .
Jack Ballister's Fortunes, "TRi.
light Land,n to say nothing of large
amount of magazine sketches and mis-.
ceilaneous illustrations.
His latest piece of work is an illus.
trated allegory which he has con
tributed to the forthcoming Christ
masl Century and which will be printed
in color. Concerning this he writes to
the superintendent of the art depart
ment:
8 wish to express to you my great
and sincere admiration for the way in
which you have reproduced my pictures
Of The Travels OF the Soul. had
never hoped to have such really great
results, and it seems to me, apart from
any question of artistic excellence, that
the technical rendition of the work
must certainly make notable inn
preston upon the magazine world. |
do not see how it can be otherwise, for
it appears to me that il you print the
magazine at all like the proofs you
will have reached the high water mark
of color reproduction. -
An American critic has found in
Howard Pyle's latest work a quality
similar to that of Watts, the English
painter; and the American artist is
acknowledged the founder of a new
school of illustration, worker of great
scope and variety, and unrivaled in his
own peculiar style both in black and
white and in color work, while his pen
and-ink drawings suggest the old
German line work in their semi-rude,
masculine. and always interesting and
vital quality.

greed, whether it take the form OF
plumber of the fortunate or of oppres-
sion of the unfortunate-from these
and from all kindred vices this nation
must be kept free if it is to remain in
its present position in the forefront of
the peoples of mankind.
''On the other hand, good will come,
even out of the present evils, if we face
virtues; if we show that we are fearless
of soul, cool of head and kindly of
heart; ii, without betraying the weak
ness that cringes before wrongdoing,
we yet show by deeds and words our
knowledge that in such a government
as ours each of us must be in very
truth his brothers. keeper.
.sAt time when the growing COM
plexity of our social and industrial life
has rendered inevitable the intrusion
OF the State into spheres of work
wherein it formerly took no part, and
when there is also q growing tendency
to demand the illegitimate and unwise
transfer to the government OF much of
the work that should be done by pri-
vate persons, singly or associated
together, it is a pleasure to address a
body whose members possess to an emil
nent degree the traditional American
,self-reliance OF spirit which makes
them scorn to ask from the govern
ment, whether of State or Of nation,
anything but fair field and no favor
who confide not in being helped by
others, but in their own skill, energy
and business capacity to achieve sue
cess.
1.-THE first requisite of good citizen
in this republic of ours is that he shall
be able and willing to pull his weight
that he shall not be mere passen-
ger. but shall do his share in the
work that each generation of us finds
ready to hand; and, furthermore, that
in doing his work he shall shog not
only the capacity for sturdy self help,
but also self respecting regard for the
rights of others.
THE Chamber of Commerce, it is no
idle boast to say, stands in a pre-emi-
nent degree for those qualities which
make the successful merchant, the suc-
cessful business man, whose success is
won in ways honorable TO himself and
beneficial to his fellows. There are
very different kinds of success. There
is the success that brings with it the
scared soul,-the success which is
achieved by wolfish greed and vulpine
cunning-the success which makes
honest men uneasy or indignant in its
presence. Then there is the other kind
of success-the success which comes as
the reward of keen insight of sagacity,
of resolution, of address, combined
with untiinching rectitude of behavior,
public and private. I"

PAY OF CARRIERS OF MAILS.
Il. j. Wynne's Recommendation for Urba
and Rural Service.

Il. j. Wynne's Recommendations for Urban
and Rural Service.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report of Robert j. Wynne, First As
sistant Postmaster General. urges that
in view of the SUCCESS of the rural
free-delivery system and its future
necessities the recommendation for
s12, 655, 500 the estimates for that pur-
pose is reasonable.
The amount is an increase of a little
more than 5000, 900 over tine current
fiscal year. To correct what the report
considers the injustice of compelling
postmaster to pay part of his salary
for clerk hire, Mr.. Wynne urges legis-
lation authorizing the Postoffice De-
partment to make allowances for clerk
hire at rd-class postoffices when it
is satisfactorily shown that the post
master by devoting his time and at
tention to the office is unable TO trans
act the postoffice business.
The adrisability of erecting public
buildings for the establishment of
branch postoffices in cities is discussed
and the plan is Endorsed as economical
to the government. The report says the
establishment and extension Of the
pneumatic tube service will make it
necessary to secure permanent sites for
stations in the large cities. An effort has
been made to equalize the salaries of
clerks in first and second class post
offices by promotion of low salaried but
efficient clerks At the larger first
class offices clerks are not now working
in excess of eight hours day but it is
impracticable in existing conditions
to give clerks in the smaller offices
eight hours continuous service. An
effort is being made to reduce their
hours to a fair basis.
In the city delivery service plan is
proposed whereby IN tine larger cities
sub-carriers shall receive at least $50 a
month and in the smaller cities S25
month.
The rural ree-delivery system, the
report says, has become a permanent
feature of the postal service, and the
service has increased the postal
receipts and improved conditions
wherever it has been put in operation.
No deficiency, it is stated, will be
created by this service.
1t is recommended that Congress
make provision for leave of absence,
with full pay, for rural carriers, not to
exceed 10 days in fiscal year.
Extension to rural carriers of power
to receive and register letters has
proved SO acceptable public benefit,
il is said, that it is the purpose to
further increase their usefulness by
adding, under proper regulations, an
extension of the money order system to
rural routes. Rural carriers are now
empowered to receipt for money orders.
1t is intended, after January 1st next,
to empower them also to raw monay
orders at tho residences of known
patrons of the routes.
The maximum fee for money order
tsl00J is 30 cents. 1t is recommended
that the maximum be reduced to %
cents, with proportionate reductions
wherever the amount exceeds $50
