A PURE WATER PROBLEM
The Delaware May Supply Thirty
Philadelnhiana


In the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can of last Monday is q long article
by George E. Mapes referring to the
question of a supply of pure water
for the city Of Philadelphia
The article is illustrated by cuts
of Raymondskill and Sawkill Falls,
a view of a lake in Wayne county
and also a view of the Delaware. 1t
lis proposed to spend twenty-five
million dollars on a filter plant and
it is argued that the success of this
plant is highly problematical, while
there would be no question as to
the purity and supply If the same
sum was expended to build an aque-
duct from say a point on the river
somewhere between the Water Gap
and Easton. The article describes
the upper Delaware and its tribu-
taries and gives the size of the water
shed as nearly 5000 square miles all
practically uncontaminated terri
tory, and, by reason of its lack of
minerals and being largely unsuited
to farming, most of it is likely to
remain for all time in a forest state.
This land is now sparsely settled,
not much exceeding 25 persons to
the square mile, and the population
is not increasing. The 100 miles of
river from Hancock to the Water
Gap is through a natural park and
it is fed by streams flowing from
mountain lakes which are almost
innumerabIe in number AS con.
trasted with the present and possi-
BILE supply of water from the coun-
try drained by the Sckuylkill the
article demonstrates that it would
be far preferable for all time to
draw the supply from the Delaware.

professor Brewer,s Leotures

Professor William II. Brewer Of
Yale, who has been lscturing before
the Forest School here this week,
has given most instructive and
entertaining addresses. Added to
close observation his wide range of
travel enables him to treat even the
most familiar topics with a keenness
of discrimination and novelty in
method which creates in them a new
and quickened interest. Published
his talks could not fail to be widely
read because Of their direct applica-
ton to the every day questions
which arise in tree and forest culture.

Valuable lime Saved

Slight injuries often disable a man
and cause several days loss Of time
and when blood poison develops,
sometimes result in the loss of a
hand or limb. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm is an antiseptio iniment.
When applied to cuts, bruises and
burns it causes them to heal quickly
and without maturation, and pre-
vents any danger of blood poison.

A Lucky Runaway

Sunday parties from Port Jervis
failed to tie their horse while visit
ing Sawkill Falls, and the animal
ran down the hill through the Grey
Tower grounds down Hartford street
straight on over the stoep bank to
the river, then turned, came out on
the road again and ran down to and
over the Milford bridge across the
Delaware where it was caught. No
injury was done to horse, harness
or wagon. 1t was a lucky go, how
ever, and emphasizes the almost
criminal neglect of leaving a horse
stand without tying, no matter
when or where.

After years Of discussion and con-
tention, shipbuilding in the navy
yards Of the country has at last found
with favor naval officers who have
come to believe that it would be
desirable for the government to
build its own vessels. There is now
considerable delay because of the
labor troublesin the yards of the
trust which has the contracts for
the building of thirteen vessels.
Moreover, 1t is claimed that the
constant work which would ensue,
we're the government to build its
own ships, would materially in
crease The value of the yards and
would have a tendency to prevent
the labor difficulties which now
arise from the necessity which con-
fronts employees Of finding work
elsewhere at certain seasons of the
year. Rear Admiral Bowles is now
preparing for Secretary Moody a
statement based on the work of
building the Connecticut in the New
York navy yard The admiral has
already found that not less than 2
per cent of the total cost of the ship
will be saved on the inspection ex-
penses as a result of government
construction. The government is
preparing TO complete the cruiser
Galveston, now at Norfolk, and will
build the sailing vessels Intrepid and
Cumberland The training brig
authorized by the last congress will
be built in the Portsmouth, N. e.,
navy yard.

ohafFeurs and Drivers Of Machines
Should Exercise Care

Should Exercise Care
Farmers in different sections Of
the country are beginning to carry
small bag filled with good sized
stones when they go out on the
road, the stones to be used inpelting
the automobilists who wear bristles
down their backs In one state an
organization has been formed, the
members of which will carry revol-
vers to be used when meeting the
class above specified It was thought
by some to be an infringement on
the rights of those driving machines
TO legislate as to the manner in
which they should be run but
experience demonstrates that the
act was wise and its only fault is
that it does not go quite far enough.
1t is entirely unnecessary for those
owning and operating automobiles
to incur the enmity of farmers and
others driving teams, who, with
frightened horses on narrow roads
are entirely helpless. 1t is possible
to guide horse running away but
utterly impossible to do so when he
begins backing If automobilists
desire to make machines popular
they should err on the side Of care
in running them and consideration
when meeting or passing teams. No
jury would convict a driver for
pelting a chaffeur with stones or
clubs who by either sheer careless
ness or wanton bravado had caused
the team to throw the driver out of
his wagon or TO run away. Some
automobilists and their machines
are like mules, pigs, goats and re.
formers in that they go when and
where they are least expected to.

IMMIGRANTS COMING

Many are not an Especially Desirable

OF the 921, ,9l5 immigrants coming
into the country during the fiscal
year just ended, the Italians head
the list, the greater portion of them
from Sicily and Southern Italy. 1t
is a generally conceded fact that a
large proportion Of those people are
lawless and entirely Objectionable;
many Of them are outlaws at home.
Yet the immigration management
which is sending all Of them into the
country, as shown by the investiga-
tions Of the immigration bureau
seems to overcome the legal difficult
ties in securing their entrance. The
practically one million-and
character Of this years immigration
indicate that one Of CONGRESSES most
important duties is the preparation
and passage of a careful restrictive
immigration law.

pogting Up Advertisements


The law now makes it unlawful to
advertise in the manner adopted by
many who wish to obtain publicity
at the least possible cost by posting
or painting advertisements in every
conspicuous place. The section reads
that no person shall paste, paint,
brand, stamp, or in any manner
whatsoever place upon or attach to
any building, fence, bridge, gate,
outbuilding, or property of another,
whether within or without the limits
Of highway, any written, printed,
painted or other advertisement, bill,
notice, sign, card or poster, without
first having obtained the written
consent Of the owner or tenant law
fully in possession OF occupancy
thereof. The penalty is not less
than $5 nor more than $40 for each
offense and all such advertisements
are declared public nuisances and
may be removed or abated.
This act, if enforced, will greatly
curtail the publicity if soma mer-
chants of a neighboring town who
select the fence and tree methods OF
advertising to save printers ink.
