INTERESTING LETTERS.
On an Interesting Topic Testimony
of Men who Know as to
Wood Pipe.

Below are letters and parts of let
tiers on the subject of wood pipe.
They are a few expressions out of
a bunch of about sixty of which all
speak in much the same tenor.
They are answers to a letter sent
out by the Water Committee and
Special Council Committee, asking
for information relative to water
works and water supply. Before
the letters were sent, most of the
committeeman were unfriendly to
wood pipe. The result of the u
unanimously favorable testimony of
the letters with reference to its use
convinced the committeeman that,
though far cheaper, wood pipe und-
er proper conditions Of soil, such
as that along the line of the pro-
posed Corvallis system, is perhaps
the longest lived of any of the var
ious kinds of pipe in use. The let
ter sent out by the committee, after
stating that Corvallis was -contem-
plating the construction of muni-
cipal water system, said:
1--WE understand that the four
kinds of pipe, viz: wood pipe,
cast iron pipe, steel pipe, and steel
pipe with cast hubs, are all used
more or less and we are anxious to
put in the best. Also please state
price paid for E, 8, 10 and IL inch
mains per foot.
If you have gravity system with
reservoir, we would like to know
something about that. What is the
size of the reservoir, by that we
mean how many gallons per capita
will it hold, how is it constructed
and of what material? Have you
any trouble with it?
If you have any other informa
ton to give us, it will be thank
fully received BY the Water Com
mittee. Also be kind enough to
send us, if you have it in printed
form, rules and regulations govern
ing your water system and prices
charged.
What do you know about by.
draulic engineers? Who are they,
and where are they located? We
would only care for the names Of
any engineers you could recommend
| for such work.

ington:
I'VE have in our plant nearly
every kind of pipe manufactured.
If you want the very best regard
less Of expense, cast iron would un-
doubtedly meet every requirement.,
and suit any and all conditions; but
it is very expensive at first cost,
and also expensive to lay, and
might cost you for the entire sys-
tenn about double what plant
equally as good but of a different
kind of construction could be had
for; for instance, under certain con-
ditions of soil and pressure, wood
pipa, properly built, is equal to
cast iron and by some experts is
considered even better. If you are
contemplating the construction of
plant the best plan would be to get
a thoroughly competent, practical
and experienced water works man
on the ground to consult with, and
advise You. This would cost
something, bnt it would be money
we'll spent, and by far the most
economical method in the long
run"

J. E, Shraugur. mayor, Mt. Yer
non, Washington:
'"The system here is privately
owned. We use the wooden -stave
pipe. This pipe is superior to iron
or other pipe. 1t will outlast any
iron pipe. the water does not taste,
nor have you the iron rust to con-
tend with. Strange as it may seem
this pipe will not decay as the pres
sure of the water fills the pores and
keeps the wood perfectly. Piping
in this vicinity that has been in the
ground for IS years is now in as
good condition as when put in,
which would not be true of iron or
any other pipe. The cost of this
pipe is about one-half that of steel
pipe. Any one coming into this
toMn would never know there is a
water system here, except by the
hydrants, as there are no leaks,
or wet places to indicate it. We
think we have the best system in
the state and in some large fires
have certainly been able to control
them without difficulty. In fact
we have had very favorable men,
ton in the Seattle papers along this
line. I think that there is no doubt
you will make no mistake if you
use the wood stave pipe. Seattle
uses large quantities Of it in her
immense Cedar River system and it
has given entire satisfaction
]. L. Boyle, superintendent wat
er works, Snohomish, Washington:
"Our plant was put in about IL
years ago, at cost of S52,oao.
All steel pipe. We could put in
the same plant of wooden stave
pipe for less than one half that, and
it would last four times as long.
Our pipe is nearly rusted out now,
after II years. I have been super
intendent here for. seven years and
we have had leaks all of that time.
The last two years I have put in
about 1900 feet of four and six
inch wooden pipe. It doesn't cost
third what the steel pipe does and
in my opinion will last several
times as long. We pay 26 cents
per foot for the wood pipe and the
steel, same size, six inch, costs $1,1o
so you see>that there is no question
as to which is the most economical.
And that is not all, To calk the
joints in the steel pipe it will cost
from s. per joint up. On the wood
len pipe you have none Of that. You
don't even have to have a skilled
laborer: any common labo-er can
drive the pipe together, while with
the steel or iron pipe you must
have plumbers

for forty years and always in a way

An agreement has been made be-
tween Great Britain and Japan which
assures peace in the Far East, it is
believed, for the next ten years. The
agreement is an offensive and defen-
sive alliance between the two coun-
tries, by the terms of which, Great
Britain will permit no infringement
upon the rights of Japan in Korea and
Japan will permit no infringement
upon the British rights in the neigh
borhood of the Indian frontier. Rus
STA after the inglorious defeat suffered
at the hands of Japan will hardly be
willing to put to test her strength
against the combined forces of these
two countries.

In sad but loving remembrance Of
my dear aunt, Annie E. Berry, who
departed this life July 18th, 1905.
Just two months ago,
Nv dear aunt was called away,
From earth to heaven l pray,
She may be safe in the arms OF Jesus
No two months have passed,
So slowly to me as these
Why should l wish her back again
When she suffered so with pain?
Sleep on dear aunt,
And sweetly take thy rest,
1t was God who called you
For he surely thought it best.
Ny aunty dear, could thou but see,
IT'S oft my thoughts are placed OF
thee
A longing rises in my heart
Which causes bitter tears to start.
You are gone but not forgotten,
Nor ever will you be,
AS long as life and memory lasts
We will remember thee.

Anna B. Bagwell.

The "Clansman, Rev. Thomas
Dixon's dramatization of his novel,
was presented in the Academy of
Music, Norfolk, for the first time on
Friday of last week and well received,
but has not been accorded such liber-
al applause in the city of Richmond
this week. Its critics in the latter
city say it is not an elevating per-
Torrance and is not even correct his
torically, but as money maker, it is
believed, will be a success. Mr.. Dixon
says that it twas written and staged"
for a serious moral and instructive
purpose and contends that his book
and play are answers to "Uncle Tom
Cabin" The interest in the play lies
in the strange story of the Ku Klnx
Klan but the query which seems to be
suggested in connection with the
same is-What good can it do to re-
vive the memory of the crimes and
blunders of those days? 1t may have
a mission in the North, for whatever
inaccuracies the play may contain,
there is enough truth in it to be lis
tened to with profit by its people.

Importance of Telephone to Farmers,

Farming is business to be run byl
business people in a business way.
That which increases the producing
power of the farm, decreases expen-
SEES. and minimizes work, deserves
most serious consideration by the
farmer. Time limits everything,
everywhere, and the real problem
which cCnfronts the farmer is the
saving OF time-the crowding of more
than ever into a given period, OF all
businesses, there is no other which is
so dependent upon things being done
quickly and at the right time. The
distances on the farm, the distances
between houses, the distances to the
towns and the uncertainty of the
weather should be sufficient to i'm
press every farmer with the need for
telephone service. The hindrance
has been the price and the inability
of the old companies to furnish salts
factory service and give through con-
nections to all points. These two
things have delayed the development
of the most important, modern inven-
ton adopted to farm use.
The telephone keeps the farmerpo
ted in the latest government weather
forecast and makes the markets every
where reachable from his home. 1t
links the farmhouse with every farm
| in the neighborhood and the inter
change of ideas and the social chats
mean much to the farmer. No farmer
Ianywhere is isolated when a telephone
IS present. The purchase and repair
of farm implements, the buying OF
| feed and the employment of help by
telephone are but few of the emer-
gencies-meeting values of the SER
vice. The doctor when wanted is
wanted quickly-the telephone flashes
the message for help with indescrlba-
BILE ouickness-1,0 900 feet 1000 miles
make no difference-andt the message
of succor comes back with the same
swiftness. 1t makes travelling I'M
necessary and the saving in travel
ing expenses alone often pays the
telephone rented over and over again
The Diamond State Telephone Com
pany have recently spent thousands
of dollars to bring this service toyou-
and a new rate has been put into
effect which puts telephone prices
within the reach of every farmer.
We are pleased to state that owing
| to the numerous inquiries which are
{ being made regarding this new SER
vice that our representative, Mr.. c.
| A. White, will remain at OnancocR
| for the next two weeks. A card adj
dressed to him will bring any informa-
ton regarding the telephone service

Dear Sir: When you can buy paint
for less than Devoe; don't; save your
money.
Mr.. Aaron Higgins, Plainfeld,N N. j.,
always used legations of paint for his
house; Devoe took II.
Mr.. Ezra Rathmell, Williamsport,
Pa, always used II; Devoe took 8.
Mr.. Burt Young, Girard, Pa. always
used a gallon for certain rooms; took
half as much Devoe.
MIR. Nathaniel Barber, Canton, N.
Y, bought II pevoe; used less than g.
You can always buy paint for less
than Devoe; don't; save your money.
The wearing counts the same way
and doubles the difference.
The cost of painting is by the gal
lon. Weak paint costs most; most
gallons.
