4 SYSTEM Of
WATERWORKs
Assured For Oakland Within the
Present Year.
WORK ON PLANT TO BEGIN IN MAY
MIR. Fred. 7. Martin, Who Secured the
Franchise, Has Succeeded in In
teresting Outside Capital in the
Enterprise.

The citizens of Oakland are congrat
ulating themselves upon the fact that
within the next few months a com
plete system of waterworks will be
enjoyed by them as Mr.. Fred T. Mar
tin. of Fairmont, who secured from
the Mayor and Town Council some
time ago the franchise to install the
same, has succeeded in interesting
capital in the enterprise and he in
forms us that May 18th, or sooner if
weather conditions, permit, work will
be commenced and that by August
18th the entire system will be in work
ing order.
The plan as outlined will be to lay
an eight inch main under all the prin-
cipal streets which will be sufficient
to supply water for domestic purpos-
es as well as for use in cases of fire.
The supply will be drawn from the
large spring on the Bradley farm and
pumped into standpipe on the hill
north of town which is at considera-
BILE elevation above the town thus en-
surfing a good pressure at all times
and underall ordinary circumstances.
AS soon as all the details nave been
arranged the same will be published
in full in these cOiuDnS.

A TRICK.

1ehe call at the state department
an Friday ef the Russian ambassador
aad the object Of hat visit shows Of
how great Importance Russia con-
xiders the attitude of the United
States in the TAR east. 1t also shows
that parties in Washington connect
ed with some Of the foreign legations
have been trying to stir up strife be-
tween the two countries and to draw
the United States into the eastern
controversy.
The Russian ambassador la been
advised that since the ratification Of
our treaty with China, allowing the
establishment of American co%nsulates
in certain Manchurian towns, there
had been a change Of policy on the
part Of eur government on the east
ern question. His government at once
became uneasy and was anxious to
know if eur administration intended
to attempt to establish political as
well as commercial influence in those
towns. Count Cassini seemed to
have been relieved when assured that
our government had no such inten-
ton.
Such action An III part would
have made us virtually close allies
of the Japanese in their fight for SUI
premacy in Korea and equal show
ing with Russia in Nanchuria. Count
Cassini well knew hat such a step
would mean a combination of Japan.
the United States and England
against his country, for the last
named would not have been back
ward In joining such a combinations;
in fact, would be delighted in form
ing it. n he also knew hat such a
combine would, SO long as it lasted,
pat a stop to Russia's aggressive
course in the east.
The suggestions could have been
a to Count CassinI for no other
purpose than to make Russia sus-
picisus of the United States, bring
about u~Rfriendly feeling and lay the
foundation for the possible in
a~uguratien of the policy limited at
at rate greatly complicate mat
ters in the east. 1t was a piece of
secret hnd underhand diplomatic
work. dsne for the purpose of aiding
the opposition to Russia in the east.
We are glad Secretary Hay was
able to correct the ambassador in his
idea AND that nothing came
of h affair. While we wish to see
our government stand I'D for its
commercial rights in China We do
not want 1t to become involved in
the political quarrel that is going on
over there. We have troubIes enough
OF our own on this side of the world
without meddlinS in those which do
not elcern us over in the Pacific.
