The Walker springs and those adja-

explained by diagrams, and 1t seemed
the unanimous opinion of those who
lately made an investigation of the
flow of water from them that, while
# is sufficient for our present needs,
It is not copious enough to warrant
the outlay of s35,000 in securing 1t,
when It is considered certain that
our population will double in a very
few years. Water systems should
not be put in for a few years ser
vice. they should be put in for a

is up against it now on account of
having looked at the temporary in
securing her water system. Should
our population reach l,500-and

Little Child Dangerously Hurt.

The festivities of the day were
marred by one serious accident that
occurred shortly after 1 pm.
Rena, the 7-year-old daughter of
Eli Mahannah. the well known mer-
chant of Whitewater. was run down
by runaway horse and now lies in
very percarious condition at the
home of Mrs. Yost. on the corner of

who was standing with her back to
the approaching horse, struck her
with terrible force and threw her to
the ground. One or two people who
saw the accident think that the child
became entangled in the wheels and
was dragged several yards.
Mrs. Mahannah, mother of the lit
tie one. saw the child after 1t had
been thrown to the ground, but, not
knowing that it was her own, started
up eXclaiming, Somebody's child is
killed." and ran to the PROSTATE
form to find that the child was hers.
Little Rena was carried to the
home of Mrs. Yost. and DR.. Hanson
was summoned. He found the little
child badly injured about the body,
and it is feared that she has sus-
tained dangerous internal injuries.
She was still unconscious at the hour

Mrs. Mahannah was almost pros

Los Angeles, July 31.-Work is
now about to begin on the water
system here which will secure an un-
limited supply of pure water for this
city. The scheme is to bring noun
tain water from Owens lake and riv-
er in Inyo county to the south des-
ert, through mountains, for dis
tance of 240 miles. Engineers are
estimating that the cost of the work
will exceed $2S,00O.000. The survey
has shown that all of the water can
be conveyed here by gravity, no
plants being necessary. The
construction of 80 miles of tunnel
will be necessary.

THE COST OF A NEWSPAPER
PUBLIC HAS NO IDEA OF ENOR-
NOUS EXPENSE ATTACHED.

1t Takes Many Thousands of Dollars
Week to Print the Big Ones. Small
err Ones Cost in Proportion.
Few people realize the immense cost
of printing a modern daily newspaper.
The average reader has no idea OF the
enormous expense attached to the pub
LEGATION. Each issue represents the ex-
penditure of large sum. 1t costs
big amount to print newspaper even
as unpretentious as The News. Money
makes the newspaper go.
The following authentic figures as to
the cost of printing a modern newspa-
per, particularly in the large cities of
America, are submitted by Newspaper
dom for inspection:
Composition weekly PAYROLL, Bal
timore American, $1,000; Boston
Globe, 400; Cincinnati Enquirer,
81, 200; st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
SO, 900; New York Herald, $4,000; and
other papers in proportion. Another
very heavy item of expense is the bill
for special kilograms. On the Chica-
90 Herald few years ago they ran to
Sc, 900 a month; Chicago Tribune,
S.. 900, Cincinnati Enquirer, $4,000;
New York World, $4,000; st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, $15, 900; San Fran
cisco Examiner, $4,000; Boston Her
aid, So, 200: and St Louis Republic,
81, 900.
Then there comes the most heart
breaking account of all, the white pa
per bill. On the New York World it
runs to about $1,000 per year; and
on the New York American about the
same: on the Chicago News, about
1856. 900: on the Boston Globe and
Herald about $3.50, 900 each; on the
ENQUIRER about $500, 900; and on many
other papers it runs from 100000 to
a quarter of a million dollars every
months. On some of the weekly papers
the paper bill is even higher for the
reason that a better grade OF material
is used.
The ink bills are also enormous,
while the pay of the writing staff,
particularly on the metropolitan pa
pers, and the artists department con-
sumes tens of thousands of dollars

According TO an Official Reports of the Department Of
Agriculture at Washington Enormous Sums
Spent to Stamp Out Numerous Pests.

in general is the San Jose scale. In
the effort to prevent its importation
practically every foreign country OF
any Importance has at one time or
another passed quarantine laws
against the United States. The an
nual damage resulting from the scale
is estimated at S1O,OO0,O00. The cod
ding moth has in past seasons re-
duced the apple crop 80 per cent,
which means a loss of Sl5, 100000.
Tobacco in the fields is not usually
damaged to any great extent, but
after it is stored it is frequently at
tackled by an insect known as the cl-
garette beetle, which, with other in
sects fond of the weed, " cause an an.
nua1 loss of considerably over 3d.
900, 900. Stored products of all kinds
according to the departments experts
sustain loss of approximately $780,
600, 900.
Cattle and other live stock suffer
severely from insects. Nearly half
the cattle received at the Chicago
stock yards between the months OF
January and June of each year are
infested with what is known as the OK
MARBLE, which not only perforates the
hides of the animals and makes them
less valuable, but materially Injuries
the quality of the beef. Numerous
other bugs and ticks bring the total
loss to cattle up to S175, 900, 600 an
nually.
To these direct losses by reason
of diminution in the volume of crops
must be added the ai4ounts eX-
pended in lighting the various pests
and when everything is taken IN con-
sideration it is clear that the damage
done by all kinds of injurious insects
in the course of year is at least
$3.50 900, 900. In most cases OF course
interests other than those of the grow
ers are affected and the public is COM
pelled to pay more for the manufac-
tured products. The government
snends thousands of dollars each
year in conducting campaigns against
various pests, and in some cases, no
tablv that of the boil weevil, special
concentrations of large sums have
been made by congress

Startling revelations of the annual
losses caused by the ravages OF IN
sect pests in the United States are
made in the advance sheets Of the
forthcoming year book of the depart
nent of agriculture at Washington
Fourteen of the most destructive OF
these insects destroy annually $780,
100000 of the value of crops.
The chinch bug occasions greater
0ss than any of the other insects
which feed upon the better known ag-
ricuItural products. The minimum
damage done by it, according to the
department., may be safely placed at
SO,00O,O00. Most of this falls on the
wheat raisers, as the bug, while 1t at
tacks other plants, is particularly
fond of wheat. Wheat also has
very destructive enemy in the Hesslan
by, which, according to conservative
estimates. causes at least $40, 900, 900
loss every year. Worms which at
tack roots and later the ears of the
Young corn plant bring about yearly
loss of something like $40, 900, 900 al
50.
The most important cereals, accord

lions Tor campaign Huhu5'
It is asserted that the criticisms
that have been leveled at Mr.. Cortel-
YOU, the postmaster general, for ac-
cepting large campaign contributions
from life insurance companies while
he was chairman of the republican
national committee, have not shaken
the presidents confidence in him in
the least. Why should they :? The
president knew, during tn campaign,
that a large amount of money was be-
inc raised in Wall street for the pur-
pose of electing him. He knew that
millions we're raised to elect Mr.. Nc
Kinley-at least it is reasonable to
suppose he knew it, because ne was
one of the party leaders. He had no
RIGHT to think the managers OF his
party would pursue a different policy
when he has candidate from that
pursued when Mr.. Mckinley was the
candidate.
1t is simply nonsense, therefore, TO
say that the presidents confidence in
Mr.. Cortelyou has not been impaired
by the revelations made in life insur-
ance investigation, and that he is still
determined to make him secretary OF
the treasury. Would the accepting
of money from life insurance com
