A NORTHERN WATER AWAKENING

San Francisco has been working for years on
problem that Los Angeles solved within thirty days.
The need of greater water supply has been recog-
nzed in the northern city and the way to get it was
outlined by nature. But to appreciate the situation
thing and to tackle the job quite another
San Francisco has been satisfied to follow the easy
going scrptura suggestion Take therefore thought
for the morrow, for the shall take thought for
the things of itself"
All the watershed available for the greater needs
of San Francisco lies in the far away Sierra Nevada
mountains and the of Tuolumne river. A
project to tap the waters of Lake Tahoe was dis
cussed some years ago. but abandoned for the
feasible Tuolumne river proposition But now,
since the question is agtated afresh result
of the prompt measures taken by Los Angeles the
water monopoly of San Francisco offers a solution of
the problem.
1t is proposed by the Bay Cities Water company
stated, "to provide plant that will supply San
Francisco daily with 750OO0OO gallons of water from
the Sierra Nevada mountains for $38,483,7OO." The
company which makes this offer "cnched" the avaia-
BILE Sierra watershed years ago before San Francisco
aroused to the Importance of its growing need.
The proposition placed by the Bay Cities COM
pany before the people of San Francisco calls for
outlay nearly double the estimated of the Owens
valley water system for Los Angeles. The money
consideration is not a serious obstacle however for
such city San Francisco 1t is said that the water
shed offered comprises more than fifty natural
lakes besides mountain springs and streams the
average elevation of the watershed being $500 feet
above San Francisco"
The northern metropolis should follow the example
of the southern by graspng the opportunity offered
for abundant supply of pure mountain water

st. Petersburg, Nov, I6.--Count Witte
and his cabinet were in session through
out the afternoon and evening discussing
the situation and a number of promi-
nent liberals were called in for consulta-
tion. Grand Duke Nicholas was pres
ent part Of the time. The possibility
that the government might be compelled,
if the situation grew worse, to declare
martial law in st. Petersburg was con-
sidered but as far as has been learned
no definite decision in this respect was
reached.
While the League Of Leagues is dis
posed to back up the strike, the workmen
ere undoubtedly alternating much public
sympathy by their reeklessness. Many
liberals openly declare that the strike
is tactical blunder which may prove
disastrous, but this temperate counsel
is rejected.

FOR HIS LIFE
John 0'Neil Fell Into Pulp
Vat at Bellows Falls
PROBABLY CANT RECOVER
Rmained in the Substance for Hour and
Half, And After Being Taken
Out Lapsed Into Coma
tose Condition.

Bellows Falls, Nov. l6.-John ONeil,
an. employee Of the International Paper
company here, had terrible battle for
his life in d huge pulp vat yesterday,
and although rescued just in the nick
of time will probably die as result Of
the ordeal through which he passed. For
an hour and one-half he stood in icy
cold pulp, in vat eight feet deep,
just keeping his head above water by
standing on his tip toes and straining
every muscle in his body.
Just how 0'Neil fell In Is not known,
as he has beein in a comatose condition
ever since being pulled out. 1t is sup
posed that he was filing a vat, for
this purpose standing on a piece of tenn
porary planking, when he slipped in.
That was probably about III o'clock.
At 11s45 o'clock his fellow employees
missed him, and began systematic
search.
At.12:30 o'clock Foreman James Gate
ly heard groans coming from the vat;
aud upon looking in, saw 0'Neil's head
Just sticking out of the pulp. He got

lifted O'Neil out bodily.
The victim immediately became UNI
conscious. He was hustled to his home,
and stimulants administered. His arms
and legs were entirely benumbed, and
doctors worked over him several hours
to restore circulation. The water used
in the tank is Of the same temperature
as the river, which on account of the
recent cold weather was almost at the
freezing point.
1t was later discovered that only
O'Neils rare presence Of mind saved him
from almost instant death. A block
Of wood which was found at the bot
tom of the vat at the point where he
was rescued, showed that he had evi-
IDENTIFY after going to the bottom, and
again coming to the top, managed to
get a foothoId ON it, just enabling him
to keep his head above the pulp.

0DELL DENIED THE
STATEMENT BY HYDE
Says He Did Not Plan Retaliatory Legis-
lation Against the Mercantile
Trust Company.

New York, Nov. is. Former Cover
nor 0dell testified today before the legis
iative investigating committee. He de-
MED Hyde's statement that he planned
the retaliatory legislation against the
Mercantile Trust company, to force the
settlement for losses sustained by him
in a shipbaiiding combine, saying he
had nothing to do with the introducing
of either the Amber or Fish bills, repeal
ing the charter Of the trust company.
0dell said that as far as he knew, no
money ever came to him from any in
surance company for campaign purposes
but such funds might have come through
the National committee, or Senator
Plat, as the latter gathered all funds
until last year.
Senator Depew testified that he never
knew Of the Squire or Hartley accounts
until the investigation. He had heard
of campaign contributions by the Equit
able but had nothing to do with them
and did not solicit them. He first knew
of the syndicate when in a committee
meeting one day Squire suggested that
it would be good thing for the Equit-
ble to 90 into the Union Pacific synii-
cate, saying he thought the officers and
directors should participate in the pro-
fits over and above what should come
to the society. That general view was
adopted.

the Office on Friday and again on Monday
and took the articles, which he after
wards pawned at Orrin Sweets. Fred.
who has all the ear and finger works of
a cigarette fiend, also stole an overeoat

rendered Farewell Reception at Bur-
lington Last Night.

Burlington, Nov. 16.--Friends OF Rep
resentative ID. j. Foster to the number
of nearly so, representing nearly every
branch Of industry and nearly every
profession, gathered last night at Dorn's
cafe to give him farewell banquet to
celebrate his departure for Washington,

greeted by Senator w. P. Dillingham; and
Mr.. Foster. Senator Proctor was un-
able to be present, but he sent letter
of regret, which was read later in the
evening.
In introducing Representative Foster,
Mr.. Lyman said we will now hear
from the man we are all here to honor .
Before Mr.. Foster could reply he had
to wait some time to allow the applause
to cease, every man present rising to
his feet and giving him a salute. Mr..
Foster said he knew he had the friend
ship and approval of the men gathered
about the tables, but he wished to thank
them for their public expression. He
said it was difficult for representatives
to 20 to the House and not do good
work, because they had before them two
good men in the Senate, and that the
Representatives had to put their best foot
forward. In closing he referred to some
Of the great questions which confront
legislators today.
Senator Dillingham; was greeted with
prolonged applause. He said it was a
pleasure for him to be present and assist
in paying to Representative Foster a
compliment which he so justly deserved.
He spoke of the history of Vermont, of
its freedom and independency; of its
sturdy men who had conducted it
through the various crises. He said the
boss system had never prevailed here,
that the representatives were responsible
directly to the people and that this sys-
tenn had been gratifying TO the represen-
tatives and he believed satisfactory to
the people.

HUMAN PYRE
TOUCHED OFF
BY BLACKHAND
THREE MEN ON A ROCK.
Yale Students Passed Seventeen Hours
on It.

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 16.-After
spending seventeen hours on small rock
in Long Island sound, about mile off
Brandford, three Yale students, Harold
F. Damon of Honolulu, William Baxter,
Jr., of Wilmington, Del, and w. H.
Coursen of Scranton, Pa, were rescued
after III o'clock last night by Capt. Ed
ward Baldwin of Brandford. The three
students were little the worse for their
perilous experience and declared that
they had had a fine time.
The party started at o'clock in the
morning on duck shooting trip in two
small duck boats. Shortly afterwards
a stiff gale sprang up, and as their boats
were in imminent danger of being
swamped the boys were forced to make
for the nearest land. This was Taun-
ton rock, which at high tide is about
six feet above water. Here they spent
the day, drenched by flying water and
chilled by cold wind.
The sea was SO rough that approach
to the rock was impossible although Will
liam Stannard made the attempt in the
evening in a duck boat. On his return
he reported that he had obtained no reply
to his shouts. "A little later, however
the wind died away, and Captain Bald
win found it possible to reach the rock,
from which he rescued the party and
brought them safely ashore.
