THE WATER RATE
TO BE Increased AllAlOng
The Line. No Kicks
if All Are Treated
Alike.

The informal meeting of the members
OF the city council Monday night resulted
in general talk over the affairs of the
city, and will have the effect of making
each member acquainted with the views
OF his conferees upon the questions to be
solved.
While all the vexatious problems now
confronting the city we're talked over,
the water system had the right of way.
This, like all other business questions, is
one OF the sum OF expenses land receipts,
and it must be met just as private bust.
ness would be met; i. e. by either reduc-
ing expenses or advancing rates.
From the best information obtainabe,
the tier plan was the substantial de-
cision arrived at by the meeting, albeit,
there was difference of opinion as to
who should stand the raise. There
seemed to be no objection to raise of Is
cents on dwelling houses per month,
and to double the charges on water
motors, but the suggestion to increase
the rates to the mills was not enthusiast
ically received, yet the fact was accepted
that g general raise must he made all
along the line.
The city library was discussed pro and
con; the sewerage matter was talked
over, as was the matter of saloon licenses
and other affairs in such wav as to
give the members an idea OF how each
other regarded those th.ngs. Council
man Morgan was deprived Of the pleasure
OF attending the meeting by an import
ant private business matter that came
up unexpectedly Monday afternoon.

shows that they appreciate this fact.

The Japanese seem to have gained
decided advantage by crossing the
Yalu and driving back the Russians
from thirty strong positions on the
right or Manchurian bank Of the
stream. The river forms part Of the
boundary between Korea and Manchu.
ria and is navigable for considerable
distance above it's mouth. Hence. it
form an important base line for land
operations. If the Japanese succeed in
forcing back the Russians from all
points on the YaIu and to complete
their railroad all the way through Ko-
rea from the port of Funsan by way
of Seoul to Win on the river they will
have no difficulty in keeping their
army well supplied in all respects and
should be able to secure the position
by guns and intrenchments to such al
eralship, as well as greatly superior
force on the part of the Russians to
dislodge them and drive them back
across the stream.
In spite of what has been said about
the enormous number of Russian
troops in Manchuria, they do not seem
to have concentrated where they could
successfully oppose the Japanese ai-
vance. There is seemingly a great pre-
ponderance of field guns on the side
Of the Japanese and it will be re.4eya-
bered that Napoleon said the Lord was
always on the side that had the hea-
vier artillery. The loss Of large num-
Der Of field guns by the Russians is a
further advantage for their adverse
ries.
But it would be q mistake to assume
because OF this initial victory in land
operations that the Japanese will be
able to follow it up very far or very
long. The Russians may be slow to
mass their forces, but eventually Gen.
eral Kuropatkin will get his immense
army into position for effective work
and, as the Japanese admit, it will
assume the aggressive. SO that the
relatively inferior force Of the Mikado
will be compelled to confine itself TO
defensive operations.
It may be q mistake for the Japs
to push far beyond the Yalu. II they
content themselves with holding the

Thomas B. Reeds Grave.
ron, the BOSTON Herald.

From the Boston heraiu.
At the grave in Evergreen cemetery at
Portland, Me, where the late Thomas b.
Reed former speaker of the national House
of Representatives. is buried, has been
nlaced an enduring but not elaborate mon
ument of white Hallowell granite. which
rests on a large base stone of the same
material. The monument is about ten feet
high. tapering slightly from base to top.
The only decoration is a laurel wreath in
relief on one side. modelled on the wreaths
by st. Gaudens that are seen on the Shaw
memorial in this city. Below the wreath
are these words: Thomas Bracket Reed,
1S30-1S92 His Record is with the Faith
fuI. the Brave and the True of All Nations
and All Ages 1t is sufficient but it Is
not too much to say of that sturdy soul
who in the storm center of American poll
tics would not yield his convictions to ac-
complish his personal advancement. The
monument is typical of the man. He was
himself a column as unbendins as granite
when his conviction of right and duty was
clear. Neither praise nor blame detected
him from his determined course. His will
was absolute, his courage unshaken In
every exigency. He was not afraid nor
ashamed to become private citizen.

understand you have many electric roads,
and it would seem that they might furnish
investments for American capital"
Americans are already investing In
them,' replied Colonel Aguiar. 'One OF the
most profitable companies of South
America is that which operates the San
Paulo tramway. 1t has capital of $2.-
,Q99, which it pays 6 per cent divi-
dends. Notwithstanding the capitalization
probably contains considerable water.
This company is known the San Paulo
Light and Power Company. 1t gets its
electricity from the Pernahyba river, about
twenty miles from the city, where 1t has
one of the largest electric plants of our
continent. 1t lights San Paulo. The same
company has recently planned to take over
the street railroads of Rio Janeiro. and to
run them with power furnished by water

falls strong that il is believed that
they will light the city and drive all the
cars Rio has now 100000 people. and the

AT what figure will they capitalize their
new company
1T is already capitalized. The stock
amounts to $40 eco 600, and they expect to
pay dividends upon that. They will have
every street car line in Rio de Janeiro ex-
cept the Botanical Garden line, and they
will probably be able to sell power to that
line. The Botanical Garden line was one
of the first built on this hemisphere. 1t was
constructed by an American nemed Green
ough, who made a fortune out of 1t and
then sold it out to the BraZiians. Amerf-
cans have also built the street car lines OF
Manaos, 1000 miles up the Amazon, but
they have sold them. Indeed, it seems to
me that when you people get particularly
good investment you always sell out. 1t is

Trees of Many Fruits.
4 Country Life in America.

From Country Life in America.
Many people who live on city lots long
for fruit trees of their own from which
they can gather fresh fruit instead of be-
ing dependent on the markets, but, owing
to cramped garden area, they feel that an
orchard is an impossibility. Mr.. Vaughn of
Pasadena was confronted by just such
problem but he has cleverly found a way
out of the difficulty. On the back of his
town lot he had room for six fruit trees.
He planted navel oranges and peaches and
plums. and. when they had become strong
and sturdy, he grated and budded other
varieties into them. The operations were
all successful, and now Mr.. Vaughn has
numerous varieties of fruit that ripen at
all times of year and furnish an abundance
for table use. On one Navel orange tree
Mr.. Vaughn budded a tangerine, a grape
fruit a lemon, and a blood orange, max
ing with the navel orange itself five kinds
of fruit on one tree. They all bear pro-
fusely and the fruit is of extraordinarily
large size The peach trees were budded
with numerous varieties of early and late
peaches as well as apricots and nectarlnes.
These trees bear from the first of July TO
the first of November The plum trees have
been induced to produce many kinds or
nllms If all the fruit raised from these
six trees came from individual trees OF
their own kind, it would take something
like a five-acre ranch to accommodate tho
orchard.
