H INDLtY SITS ON
CANNON HILLS
NEWEST SCHEME

In view of the complaints register
ed by the Cannon Hill residents. due
to considerable inconvenience suf-
fered by them owing to shortage
in the water supply, the city COM
missioners are trying to devise some
means whereby relief can be given
those people.
For some time past the residents
have been sending in complaints to
the effect that they could not secure
enough water for household use.
The Cannon Hill Improvement club
took the matter up with the COM
missioners and expressed view that
the Cooks Hill standpipe be rein
forced in some manner. One of the
suggestions offered by the members
of the club was that a pipe line be
run from the Mantle Park standpipe
to the Cooks Hill water supply.
CITY Commissioner Handley this
morning pointed cut the fact that 1t
would not be practicable for that
method to be carried out He stated
that with connections between the
two standpipes one would be Hooded
while the other would be almost
| empty, thereby causing an incon-
! venience to the residents in the VI
entity of the Mantle Park supply.
II can see no way in which we
| can relieve the Cooks Hill district
as yet" concluded Mr.. Handley al
though we will do all in our power
| to remedy the matter

# CHINA WANTS
BOYCOTT, COME ON!

The principal items in this trade are
raw silk. tea, hides, opium and wool.
The raw silk imported by the United
States from China amounted in 1904
to nearly s10.000,000, the tea i'm
ported amounted to over $7.000,000,
hides came up to 50 900, 900, wool to
$2,300,000, and opium to s1,094,000.
But the chief advantage of this
trade to China-and the chief danger
to China if the boycott continues
lies in the fact that II is all free of
duty, with the single exception of
wool. Out of the total imports Of
$29.345,oS1 which the United States
gets from China, s20,679,247 are of
goods which are on the free list.
Now a duty on raw silk, or tea
even a small duty-would put a
crimp into the Chinese business with
the United States which would make
merchants in Shanghai sit up. And
that is the remedy which is open to
the United States If it appears that
dra stic measures are to be necessary.
There is no article which we buy
from China which we could not get
as well from other countries. Tea
will come from India silk from
France and India, hides from the
Argentine, ard wool from the same
country and Australia.
Even the Chinese mattings, OF
which we buy s1,000.000 worth a
year. could as well come from Japan,
and now that the war is over. prob
ably will.
There was a time when frecrack-
ers had to come from China, or the
American boy would be at a loss TO
celebrate the glorious Fourth; but
that day has passed, and the growth
OF American frecracker factories is
indicated in the regular decline of
that item of import from nearly hall
a million dollars worth in 1897 to
about half that sum last year.
