entire amount of water pumped.
There is no way to test this loss
and, as there is considerable work
connected with making the repairs,
while the pump has to be put out of
commission for the time being, the
job has been put Off The amount of
water used by a city is always figur-
ed from the capacity of the pump
and the number of strokes in given
time. Where the 'slippage" is con-
siderable this is obviously mislead-
ing. 1t is customary under ordinary
to deduct per cent
from the total amount figured up for
this sort of waste, but this custom
has never been followed here.
The waterworks superintendent has
figured out the amount of water that
was pumped to put out the big fire
at the Weyerhaeuser & Denkmann
yards n couple of weeks ago. The
pump was run for a period of hours
and minutes and the total amount
of water pumped direct from the
river into the city mains in that time
was 1,656,990 gallons. The pump
worked against an average pressure
of 100 pounds per square inch and
for time it was as high as no
pounds.

GREAT DECREASE IN CITY
WATER CONSUMPTION SHOWN

In view of the inadequacy
of the city's filter plant to handle
in n perfect manner all the water
that is used, evidence of a permanent
variation in the figures of the water
works superintendent showing the
amount of water that is being con-
sumed continues TO be of interest.
The capacity of the filter plant is
well known to be from 100000 to
2. SOC. 900 gallons daily, while the rate
of consumption is from a third to
half more. \ comparison of the
amounts used last year and TINS
demonstrates the effect of several
causes upon the amount of water
used and wasted in the city. Last
year in a very dry and hot season the
consumption ran up well to an aver
age of 100000 gallons daily for the
summer months till August. Then II
ran over 100000 gallons. This year
cool and wet summer has assisted
in reducing the consumption so that
during the month of August, when
the figures were the highest, the av-
erage rate was 3,336,000 gallons.
Waterworks superintendent Plumb
Bancroft attributes the reduction in
also to the increased
use of meters and the repairing of
faulty MAINS Then he figures that
the ''sIippage," or the amount of wa
ter that falls back through the effect
of worn valves in the pump, is on
the increase. so that it may now have
reached as high as 10 per cent of the

MRS. BAssETTs NEW BOOK.
Col. McComb's Estimate Of It Beau
tifully Expressed.

To any one who has read "Judith's
Garden the following review will be
refreshing, and to those who have not
read the book the clean-cut estimate
given by John McComb will convey
an idea as to it's quality and worth.
Coming as it does from man who
has read thousands of good books, and
whose versatility of talent is so well
known, it will be a great card for the
authors latest production.
OF Mrs. Bassett's latest book, John
McComb has given his estimate as fol-
lows:
Zone evening recently 1 started to
read 'Judith's Garden and did not put
it aside until every page was finished.
1t Is a pure sweet story, redolent with
the aura of flowers, and full of Natures
brightness, divested of all sham and
conventionality. The construction of
the tale shows the authors familiarity
with the characteristics of birds, bulbs
and blossoms, and gives her estimate
of the soothing qualities of certain en-
vironments. She makes life in a gar
den replete with satisfaction to the en-
thusiastic lover of ripping rills, placid
lakes, feathered songsters, indulgent
husband, congenial spirits, good cook,
sturdy amiable helper, compassionate
rich aunt and generous landlord. The
story is bright from start to finish, and
it is told in a crisp, breezy way, that
holds the readers willing attention.
There is no improbable character in it.
All the situations are natural, and
there is refreshment in the language of
every page"

BOARD b'oRAEALTns
IS NOW IN SIGHT
Ap,pointees, but One, Will Be Con-
!. fr1ned at Next Meeting Of Select
. council--open Fight for Sanitary
Policeman and Board Secretary.

The indications are that within two
weeks Carbondale Will have Its board
of health again.
a, 1t will be safe to hazard the guess
that at the next meeting of select coun-
ell. Monday, Aug. 1S, the appointments
made by Mayor O'Neill, will be taken
up ana confirmed, with possibly one
exception. Opposition, for some reason
or other, perhaps only a specious one,
has developed against one of the ap-
pointees, and as the vote Of the coun-
Gilman who holds the opposition is
necessary to confirm all of the appoin-
tees, It is likely that the mayor Will
have to submit another name in place
OF the one in. question. If this name
be withdrawn and substitute sent In,
the board Of health would be in exist
,ence again. The appointments would
have been taken up and disposed OF at
the recent meeting Of select council,
Wednesday night, but for the absence
of Mr.. Solomon, from the Sixth ward.
1t Is an open secret that the reason
for holding up the appointments in the
beginning was due to the fight for the
secretaryship of the board of health.
The controlling influence of select coun-
Gil keeps the appointments in commit
appointees would pledge themselves for
a certain candidate. A few weeks ago,
however, change took place. The
candidate for the secretaryship, who
was successful in keeping the appoint
ments asleep, has been appointed, or
rather re-appointed to another position.
This placated him and he has relin-
quished all claim, as it were, on the
secretaryship of the board of health.
BY this disposition of the matter, the
game of politics with respect to the
health board ends. The band can now
play on. The ten or more candidates
for the secretaryship have an open
field and can bestir themselves now to
secure the pledges Of the appointees.
The same is true Of the sanitary police
manship, the candidates for which are
the present incumbent, p. F. Moffatt
and Michael Gallagher.
