Church Directed to Install Water Meter
in Lieu of Register

Attorneys Lambert and Baker. in behalf
OF St. Augustine's Church, on 18th street

Riddle requesting that the water register
now used In st. Augustine's Church be al

Rev. Paul Griffith. the pastor of the
church. was informed by an inspector of
the water department that the register
would have TO be withdrawn and meter
installed In its place
The writer's state that in case a meter is
installed the water cannot be used for run
ming the organ, the principal use to which
the water is put.
As we understand it, the writers con-
tinue, AL you desire Is some Instrument
that will accurately measure the quantity
OF water used. This register was put in
St Augustine's Church March 10, 1913. and
has measured to date 100, 500 gallons Of
water. 1t was placed therein at great cost
and there was removed from the church a

CAUGHT IN THE YUKON.
Many Steamers With Valuable Cargoes
in Peril

SEATTLE, Wash. October pa special
from Dawson says that steamers and car
goes valued at more than 81 09.o0p remain
exposed to the perils of the Yukon ice and
frost with little prospect of getting TO
places of safety for the winter. Some
steamers have full cargoes of per.shable
provisions and these are certain to be
ruined. The steamers Columbian, Victo-
rian, Zealandian and Bailey are stuck ON
the bar 100 miles above Dawson, and the
big packet VIII FL. Isom, built at a cost of
500 600 is caught on the bar at the mouth
of the Yukon. All are in danger of being
crushed by the ice. The cold storage
steamer Kerr, with $50 0D worth of re-
frigerated meats, is stalled below Eagle
and will not get through this year.
All the steamers bound up the Yukon for
White Horse reached their destination af-
ter strenuous bouts with the ice foes.
The gold output of the Klondike for the
past season is now figured at $40 10000.

Mr.. Dennis Writes.

Attorney VIM. Henry Dennis, who several
months ago took occasion to criticize the
methods in vogue in the personal tax Office
of the District, today submitted state
ment to the Commissioners in response to a
previous statement of the personal tax ap-
praisers which was called forth by Mr. Den
mis- criticism. The writer states that he
submits this last statement as closing his
part OF the correspondence relative to the
methods employed by the personal tax
office.
Mr.. Dennis says in part:
THE really important development
brought out by this friendly correspondence
with you, is the fact that in their latest re-
port the personal tax appraisers admit that
blunders and fnjustices have been perpe-
trated by them; and they make a hating
apology on the ground that this was under
a new law that they had to make over
1900 assessments etc. To have made the
personal tax appraisers admit publicly that
they have done wrong. is worth the time
and trouble necessary for the purpose"
