THE WATER PROBLEM.

Civil and Hydraulic Engineer Sam
uel StOrrow, who has charge of the
extensive work being done for the
Northwestern Gas & Electric Company
conversation Il few months ago that he
would be willing to enter into con-
tract to develop a gravity water sys-
tenn for Walla Walla, adequate for all
demands for the next twenty-five years,
without tapping Mill creek. His plan
is to sink wells to ascertain the depth
at which an abundance of water can
be obtained and then get it by tun-
nelling, if not at too great depth,
and otherwise by a pumping system.
He says the city has all the rights it
needs on the Thomas ranch without
purchasing the land.
Mr.. Storrow is probably the leading
hydraulic engineer on the coast. He
has planned many water systems and
power plants and capital is always
ready to invest on his Judgment. He

Statesman believes that the people
would approve plans and specifications
for developing water according to the
Recommendations of Engineers Kier-

also readily vote a reasonable issue of

a promising youngster out of a bunch
Of mediocre bush leaguers. McGraw is
not afraid to try experiments.
AS a third baseman he is not the
best in the business. Jimmy Collins,
Tommy Leach, Billy Bradley, Harry
Steinfeldt-yes, several others may
have it on "Muggsy," as McGraw's
tendency to talk to the umpire has
nicknamed him. But as a team mama
ger and an uphill, downright. outright
fighter in a game of baseball. not even
scrappy Fred Clarke travels in the
same class.
Makes Umpires Work.
Umpires hate McGraw worse than
they hate their job.
Part of a managers duty, accord
ing to "Muggsy,'' IS to make umpires
earn their salary by the sweat of
their brow, and so miserable does he
make the life of judge of play that
some find it easier to give the Giants
a shade than stand and swallow the
caustic comments of Manager McGraw
on the side lines.
Probably this man has been es-
corted off the field by police Oftener
than any other player manager, Clarke
again not excepted. The explosive vi
Olence with which he uncOrks his Walls
of wrath on the slightest occasion have
likewise made him unpopular away
from home, except among such Of the
fans as admire a fighter
Lectures His Men.
There is no love lost in BASEBALL
is one Of Manager McGraw's ax'oms.
He has plenty Of them. Another ten
ct of his is to hold daily seances with
his henchmen in the dressing-room at
ter the games. If one is to believe
what he hears, some Of these sessions
are not unmixed pleasures, especially
after the Giants have been nosed out
of an extra inning game by somebody's
bungling fielding or failure to obey
orders.
McGraw, personally, is a fine base
man of the ultra scientific order. He
is not slugger and his speciality is
chemically pure, 1O5 proof hunts aim
ed at any fielder who seems weak in
handling them. While Hanlon is
credited by some with originating the
hit and run game" so called, it was
largely a product of "Muggsy' Nc
Graw's fertile brain while with the
Baltimore team. Since, he has i'm
proved it to a high standard, and it
has proved a great rungetter.
With strong team and an invin-
chile pitching corps, containing such
established stars as Joe McGinnity
and Christy Matthewson, the New
Yorks look good in the pennant race
and seem quite likely to verify their
managers boast of before the season
that the team which leads the Giants
will lead the league.

IS THE CHURCH A FAILURE?

Archdeacon Sinclair announces that
only IS per cent of the population of
London attends church services, and
his stirring address at St. Sepulchres
the other day voices anew the by no
means novel claim that the church is
falling short in these latter days of

great cities of the world. A few years
Paris, and the figures are not greatly
different from those just shown for
London. In New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago and in other cities in our
own country the percentage of church
attendance is quite as small as in the
cities of the old world.
Archdeacon Sinclair talks about
pagan London" and. by indrectiOn
at least, would lay the blame on the
people themselves, who do not take
advantage of the religious opportuni-
ties offered them. Marie Correlli. re-

the rich. clothed in fine linen and
faring sumptuOusly and talking the
unsavOry society scandal of the hour.
While the problem is a difficult
one. we are not inclined to believe
that either the archdeacon or the nov
elist has stated the case quite correct
ly. There never was time when the
bulk of the population of the great
cities of the world was religious, while
the fox-hunting and vine drinking;
persons have infested England for
centuries. In spite of these condi-
tons, however. great waves of moral
and religious enthusiasm have from
time to time swept over that coun-

SO FAR SO GOOD.

The experiment in Leeds, England,
of government ownership of tramways
shows excellently for it's last financial
year, says an exchange. Wages were
raised, the fares were lower than in our
country, and a surplus was earned
which goes into the city treasury to
reduce taxes. In detail. the munich
pality owns and operates the tram
ways.
For the year ended March rs, 1904,
the gross income from them was ST.
63,53522 and the operating and MAIN
tenance expenses s723,629.21, leaving
a gross profit of 1898, 906O1. From
this last sum were deducted various
charges for depreciation, income tax
and interest, leaving a net profit of
$416,619.79.
And after redemption-fund charges
of $12S,345.49 were taken from this, a
surplus of s2S6,O74.3O was left and
turned over to the city treasurer to be
used in reducing the city taxes. That
is the largest profit ever shown by the
'tramways" in any city in the United
Kingdom.
One of the best operating reforms
has been the giving of bonuses every
three months to motor men who run
their cars without accident. This has
resulted in a more careful service, re-
duction in accidents and an increase
of pay where it is appreciated. Taken
all together, the experiment is going
well in Leeds. But all municipal mat
ters are the prey of certain political
ills. The test of this system will be
it's resistance Of political domination.
If city can run a business as a bust
ness pure and simple, it is bound to
succeed.

Report on Part of the
Committee.
Mr.. GROsYENOR'S VIEWS
The Ohio Congressman, Chairman Of
the Committee, Looks Upon the
Proposition With Favor.
Report OF the Minority Members
Presents Numerically OPP
posite View.

Washington, Jan. 21.-In his report
to the house, filed in favor of the bill
authorizing commission to consider
the question of ship subsidy, Repre-
sentative Grosvenor, chairman of the
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries. says:
eve flatter ourselves justly that we
are a leading nation in all that makes
a nation great and yet we are sub
servient nation and helpless nation
in one of the great factors of national
wealth and national independence.
Other nations carry our products to
the markets of the world
General Grosvenor says that of al
most a billion dollars worth of ex-
ports to Europe during the fiscal year
1902, only IL per cent was carried
in American vessels. OF nearly $780,
100000 of imports during that year
American ships carried only $30,000,-
900 worth He says that had it not
been for the American lines subsidized
by postal subsidy the total of our trade
with Europe carried under the Amcri-
can flag would not have exceeded one
sixth of / per cent. For the carrying
of that trade General Grosvenor says
we paid 5000 600 600, which amount
he maintains should have gone into
the pockets of Americans.
The minority members of the COM
mittee have designated Representative
Lucking of Michigan to present their
views. These will contain the follow
ing reasons why the bill should not
pass:
I'VE are opposed to congress abdi-
eating it's functions in favor Of any
commission whatever.
''The history Of such commissions
shows that almost invariably their
work has been useless and expensive
and has come TO naught.
I'VE are utterly opposed to ship
bounties and have reason to believe
that the adoption of such a policy is
the real aim of the bill
eve are in favor of the rehabilita-
ton of our merchant marine by eff
fective measures to be enacted at the
present session of congress.
eve favor immediate action by this
committee in the way of investigation
and hearings, and then the bringing
in by this committee of a bill putting
in force substantially the system of
discriminating tonnage and import du-
ties which was enacted by the early
congresses of the United States and
which resulted in the immediate and
permanent upbuilding of our merchant
marine. This system has the prestige
of successful experience, which can
not be said for any other, while the
subsidy plan has been substantially
failure both at home and abroad.
"The policy of discriminating duties
was inaugurated by Jefferson and
Madison and Monroe, and it received
the endorsement of the Republican
national convention of 1896, of William
Mckinley and of William p. Frye, now
president of the senate, and may there
fore be justly denominated non-parti
san and strictly American"

UNITED MINE WORKERS
Preparing to Ask an Increase in Their
Wages.


Indianapolis. Jan. 21-The United
Mine Workers a.e today listening to

the routine business preparatory to
entering upon the vital business of the
convention The miners scale com
mittee has begun it's work of formulat-
Ing the demands of the miners on tt :
operators of indiana, Ohio, Illinois and
western PenEsylvania-the central
competitive district, the settlement in
which determines the settlements in
other mining districts. Thomas Rey-
nolds of Illinois is chairman of the
committee and W. H. Haskins of Ohio
secretary. A number of communica-
tions and representations from various
districts have been received. The de-
mands will not be formulated for two
or three days. Secrecy concerning
them will be maintained until they
are presented to the operators on Jan.
%. Indications are that demand viii
be made for a horizontal increase in
wages of 10 per cent in the central
competitive district.
1t is known that there will be a
strong effort to bring he states of
Ohio, Indiana and western Pennsylva-
MIA down to smaller differentials be-
tween pick and machine mining,
though it is Eot expected that the re-
duction will reach the Illinois differ
entail, which is z cents. In Indiana
it runs from 10 to IL cents, and in
Ohio from IL to % cents. The prin-
cipal fight on this demand will natur-
ally come from the Pittsburg and the
Ohio operators. 1t is likely that a
demand will be incorporated for the
employment of shooters to fire shots
in the mines-at least the dangerous
ones. This demand will be based on
the concessions obtained from the In
diana operators last year. These four
features will be made the paramount
questions in the joint conference.
The Ohio and Pennsylvania opera
tors, who will come into the conven-
ton with demand for reduction in
wages of Is to 20 per cent and with a
grievance against the miners for not
fulfilling -heir promise to organize
