New Tunnels.

Butler county people who have pur-
chased lots on Grand View, land there
seems to be a number Of them), were
pleased to hear Of the opening of the
Mt. Washington tunnel, last week. The
cars began running through it last
Thursday, and will connect with Mt.
Lebanon, Knoxville, West Liberty,
Beltzhoover, Castle Shannon, Charleroi
and other places. The time from the
Pittsburg postoffice to Mt. Lebanon be-
ing but twelve minutes
1t is the only tunnel of its kind in the
world. Work On it was started on Oct.
6, 1902. and the brick lining finished ex-
actly two years after ground was brok-
en-. The tunnel is $500 feet long, "a
feet wide and 21 feet high. The lise
from Carson street to the south end
near North Washington avenue is 2O5
feet. In lining it over 100000 brick
were used. The entire cost Of the work
was 81. OOO.0OO
Talking about tunnels, one Of the
strangest things that has happened OF
late, is the stoppage of work on the tun-
mel through the great Simplon noun
tain; from Switzerland to Italy, by the
striking of spring, or well, of boiling
hot water, after the mountain had been
penetrated for several miles, and many
millions of dollars spent in the enter
prise. The tunnel is now flooded with
the hot water.

"The Simple Life"

Through the American Press Associa-
tiop and by n liberal expenditure OF
money the Citizen has secured from
Mcclure. Phillips & Co. the right to
publish Miss Hendee's translation of
The Simple Life" by Charles Wagner.
The reading of the book made such
favorable impression on President
Roosevelt that ne at once gave it his un-
qualified endorsement Three weeks
ago the author lectured in Washington,
d. c., and was introduced to the audi
ence By the President, who said. in part:
This is the first and will be the only
time during my presidency that l shall
ever introduce a speaker TO an audience,
and / am more than glad to do it in
this instance, because if there is one
book which l should like to have read
as a tract, and also, what is not invari-
aoly true Of tracts, as an interesting
tract. by all our people, it is The Sim
pie Life, by Mr.. Wagner"
The Simple Life can be read with
equal profit by all classes. 1t deals with
the mistakes of human society in every
strata and directs the way to happiness
from every point Of the social com
pass. The author makes no unreason-
able demands upon society. nor does his
social scheme interfere with our moral,
material, intellectual or religious pro-
gress On the other hand, readers OF
his book will readily see that that The
Simple Life" as Mr. Wagner would
have us live tits the royal road to ideal
social conditions The book not only
points the way to life of simplicity, bnt
but it is written in language SO simple
that all may understand. although the
phraseology combines world of
strength and beauty.
Miss Hendee's translation, which is
the only one authorized by Mr.. Wag-
ner, will be published in the Citizen in
serial form, the first installmeDt of
which appears in this weeks issue.

On The Water Question.

Six more oil wells are being started
or drilled in the vicinity of the Miller
Wick farm in Oakland township. This
means that six more. casings will be
spouting out saltwater 10 flow into and
pollute the Thorn Run and Boydstown
dams, rendering practically useless aud
yalueless a system on which the Butler
Water Company has spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars and causing most
aggravating inconvenience, actual hard
ship. and large financial loss to the
people of Butler for months to come.
The courts have held that water from
oil wells has the right TO the natural
course of drainge, no matter who, in or
along that course. below the wells, may
be injured thereby. That may be all
right as a general rule, but circum-
stances alter cases. The Butler Water
Co. was on the field first. they have ex-
pended their money, ten times as much
as will ever be spent in that oil field,
their property rights are of much
more permanent nature and much more
valuable than are or ever well be those
of the oilmen. They are supplying
fifteen thousand inhabitants with water.
and to an ordinary individual. especial
ly, when he is one of the thousands OF
sufferers from the saltwater delug", the
rights of this people and of this water
company seem as high above those OF the
oilmen concerned rs the clouds are
above the earth. The owners of those
olwells are committing a nuisance
against, every man, woman and child
who uses city water. II there are any
injunctions to be served, they should be
on the people drilling those wells: OF
course the land owner has a right to
secure the product and wealth of his
farm, even if saltwater does come with
it, but when that saltwater becomes a
physical nuisance and causes the loss
of thousands and thousands of dollars
to others. some provision should be
made. either by the parties drilling or
the Water Co or both jointly, to pipe
the disturbing element beyond the
region where it can do harm. Until
this is done iDjunctions should stop
the drilling
