FOR JOINT ACTION
Hatchery Question Is
Up Again.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 5.-The
secretary of state today advised Sen
ator Foster that he would, in accord
ance with his late request and on re-
commentator of Fish Commissioner
Bowers, extend to the Canadian minis
ter of Marine and Fisheries and rep
senta tives of the fisheries department
of Britishr Columbia, an invitation to
meet with representatives of the fish
commission of the state of Washing
ton and of the United States and con-
slider the long-pending proposition of
establishing an international salmon
hatchery on Fraser river, British Co
lumbia.
Commissioner Bowers has all along
taken the position that it will be i'm
practicable to attempt to operate a
joint hatchery controlled by both gov
ernments, but is willing to do any
thing that will promote the salmon
industry of Puget Sound. He makes
it plain, however, that official informa-
ton in his possession indicates that
the Canadian and British Columbian
Associates are not favorably inclined
toward the establishment of a hatch
cry in conjunction with the state of
Washington, statements by Commits
siOner kershaW, of Washington, to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Secretary Hay intends at an early
day to extend an invitation to the Ca
madam officials through the British
embassy in this city, and if the in
vitation is accepted, it is expected that
the prolonged discussion of conflicting
rights of the Puget Sound and British
Columbian fishermen may be finally
adjusted.

Baptists to Dedicate New Church.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 5.-Arrange-
ments on an elaborate scale have been
made for the dedication tomorrow of
the new First Baptist church of this
city. The ceremonies incident to the
occasion will extend through the en-
tire day and evening and the partici-
pants will include we'll known Baptists
divines of Georgia, Tennessee and sew
eral other states. The new church.
which has been several years in build
ing, is one of the finest church edifices
in the state.

TO SAVE $25O,OOO INVESTMENT.

Four years ago the people of this
city voted for the issuance of bonds to
the amount of $250,000 for the pur-
chase Of the water system then own
ed by the Walla Walla Water Com
pany. Since that time thousands Ct
dollars have been expended for lew
pipe, a new pumping station and 9th ar
improvements. The investment has
proven good one, the water revenues
being more than sufficient to meet all
necessary expenditures, pay interest
on the bonds and provide a sinking
debt
The system is a good one so far as
it goes. The water furnished consum-
ers is pure and cold and every one
uses all he needs and many use more,
no meters being used to keep check
on consumption.
But the system is deficient in two
particulars. 1t fails to furnish ade-
Quate fire protection to the business
district and the pressure is too weak
districts in the eastern part of the city
as we'll as the suburban residence dis
tTicts that are likely to become a part
of the city at no distant date.
These two defects can be easily
remedied by the plan proposed by
Councilman Glasford and heartily en-
dorsed by President Turner of the
Commercial Club. By this plan it is
proposed to continue using the pres
ent system to supply the residence dis
tricts west of Howard street and to
make use of the flow of water already
developed at Thomas springs TO give
gravity system for fire protection to
the business section and to supply the
residence district east of Howard
street. If necessary the city can con-
tlnue to operate the pumping station
in 1saacs addition. OF course more
water can be developed at Thomas
springs as necessity may require &C
cording to the Smith Boyer plan or
some other common-sense method.
BY the adoption of this plan the
city will preserve the use of the pres
ent excellent supply of water for the
majority of the people of the city and
continue to receive good returns on
its $250,000 investment
The total cost of the supplementary
gravity system from Thomas springs
proposed by Councilman Glasford
would not exceed 100000. Compare
lively little new pipe would be needed
within the city limits to withstand the
increased pressure, thus saving a
large part of the $4,000 for new pipe
to supply the whole city as estimated
by City Engineer Clark.
On the other hand the Weile Mill
creek bankruptcy plan would cost the
city to begin with $250,000 if filtration
beds were provided, and not less than
100000 more to settle claims for dam
ages claimed by riparian owners. Be
sides this the city by the adoption OF
TINS plan would practically throw away
the $250,o00 invested in the present
water system, as no use would he
made OF the present reservoirs or Of
the present pipes after the compile
tlon OF TIE Mill creek system. The
present system was bought on time
we might say. as bonds we're issued to

A Few That Scientific live stigation

We all know than the nine
tenth century was marked BY q
separation of tie sciences into q
vast number of specialties, to the
subdivisions of which one could
see nc end, says Harper's Maya
zine. But the great work of the
twentieth century Will be to com.
bine many of these specialities.
The physical philosopher Of the
present time is directing his
thought to the demonstration of
the unity of creation. AstrOnom,
ical and physical researches are
now being united in a way whichis
bringing the infinitely great and
the infinitely small into one field
of knowledge. Ten years ago the
atoms of matter, of which it takes
millions of millions to make a droI
of water, were the minutest OBJ
jects with which science could
imagine itself to be concerned
Now, a body of experimentalists
prominent among whom stan,
Profs. J. J. Thompson, Becquere
and R0entgen, have demonstrate,
the existence of objects SO minut,
shat they find their way anon,
and between the atoms of matte
as raindrops do among the builC
J ings of a city. More wonderful
yet, it seems likely, although j
has not been demonstrated, tina
these little things, called CORPUS

Whether this be true or not. it

cat SAVED " LIVES.
Showed Marvellous Display Of Reas-a
Darlng Hotel llrs.

During Hotel tire.
This is Il story about the re-
markabie deed Of a mostextraor-
binary cat, but it's a perfectly true
story, nevertheless, as you may
learn by asking any well-known
English cat-fancier, says the New
York World.
For jim is an English cat,
though of no particular old fam
lily, education or beauty. But he
saved two human lives by a DELHI
crate act, and now he is the most
eagerly sought eat in all England
and this story is already a classic.
Jim's master is Landlord G..
Bailey, of the Warren House inn,
near Working. Jim is a big fellow
and a splendid hunter, but that he
possessed an intellectually and a
will to do and dare above the ne
cessities of skillfulrat catching no
one guessed until a short time ago.
He had always shown a particu-
larly human devotion to his mas,
ter and to Mr.. Bailey's sister-in.
law, who was housekeeper of the
inn.
Each night Jim chose as his bed
a rug just outside his masters
door, but that he had takenupthis
post as a sentinel was not dreamed
of until suddenly one night Mr..
Bailey was awakened by several
slaps of something soft on his
cheeks, followed by a d~istressful
wall in his ear, such as he never be
fore had heard from jim.
Bailey landed on his feet, stand.
ing, and the first waking thought
was for his sister-in.law, who was
sleeping at the other end of tho
hall, into which a roaring fire was
eating.
Dashing through the blaze int,
the room he found the sister un
conscious and carried her out o.
the sitting smoke just as the foo
sank through, Jim kept sharply
at his masters heels through tn,
rescue and flight, and once in The
road showed the liveliest interes.
and affection for the two person.
l who owed their lives to his intel
ligence.
The hotel was burned to tn,
