DEBT IS BIG
ENOUGH

Mayor Boyd is of the opinion that
if, two pumps were installed in the
old pumping station on the island
that the city would have plenty of
water both for fire protection and
lawn use. In speaking of the propo-
sition, he said: Il thought by sending
this message to the council a way
might be found for relieving the
threatened water famine. If the
pumping station on the island were
used the insurance men would be sat
isfed with the water condition. The
plant could be fixed up very cheaply
and lease for five or ten years could
be obtained from the Washington
Water Power company. Chief Myers
of the fire department assures me
that it would afford adequate fire pro-
lection
During the summer months enough
water could be pumped into the mains
necessary. Two pumps, I think, would
be enough. These could be purchased
for about $4,000.
1T would not be necessary to use
the pumps in the winter time except
in case of a big fire. This, in my
opinion, is the only rememdy that
would give immediate relief.
II am not in favor continued the
mayor, "of bonding proposition
either for reservoir or anything
else There is enough money going
out Of the city at present for interest
on bonds. The city is enough in
debt" p.

BAT Tie OF
GIANTS

ST. PAUL, April l3.-The Hill-Har-
riman case is in the hands of the cir
cult court judges for a decision. Argu-
ments were ended this morning. To-
days session was bitter one. Counsel
for Hill accused Hartman of seeking
to delay a decision on the merger so
people would be scared into disposing
of stock at low figures to Hartman.
Counsel insisted that the rights of
$4,000 stockholders should be preserved
and the false face on the Union Pa
cifc should be taken off.
Guthrie, for Hartman, attached
most stress to his claim that the books
of the merger company should be in
vestigated to show where the stock
had gone, intimating that much of that
that Hill and Morgan owned was held
by dummies, and that Hill and Morgan
had been preparing for months to
outwit the court.
1t created a sensation when charge
was made that the Hill Morgan inter-
ests were buying large amounts of
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
stock before the Northern Securities
company decree.
Elihu Root declared the accusation
false.

LONDON. April 13.-The loss OF
Admiral Makaroff is a blow hardly to
be estimated. He was the very heart
of Russian aggression at Port Arthur.
Up to the time of his assuming direc-
tion of affairs the Russian warships
crouched shivering under the guns of
Port Arthur, waiting the renewal OF
the Japanese intermittent attacks,
and when they came they sputtered
back in blind way. In place of this
Makaroff actually assumed the Of
fensive.
On the night of March 10 Makaroff
sent six torpedo boats TO sea to look
for the japanese warships. These met
the enemy and maintained a hot fight.

serving his torpedo boat laundering,
Makaroff went out with two cruisers
to face the entire Japanese feet. but
he was too late to be OF assistance
This action is a perfect index OF his
work since. infusing new life into the
dry bones at Port Arthur.

TOXIC, April l3.-An official ac-
count of the skirmish between two
small bodies of Japs and Russians on
the tenth on the banks of the Yalu
was received today. 1t states that
lieutenant and FIVE marines were sent
in Korean fishing boat to reconnoiter
about the mouth of the river. They
sighted seven Russian cavalrymen on
Chinese junk and attacked them.
The Russians were reinforced, but
were finally driven back, losing one
killed and two wounded. The Japs
suffered no losses. The report appar-
emily concerns the same fight noted in
General Kuropatkin's statement, with
the difference that the latter stated
that the Japs' boat was sunk and all
aboard lost.

DOGS

There is movement on foot by
local dog fanciers to have the Inter-

club is now a member of the Pacific
Coast Kennel club league and wishes
to hold dog shows here.
Greater care will be used this year
to prevent diseased dogs from being
brought into contact with other dogs
at the bench shows. The tent used
last year was too small and the club
wishes to have better place erected
to display the fancy animals But
the fair board is not inclined to erect
any new buildings until the $4,000
debt is lifted.
