Commissioners Garfield to Begin In.

Washington, Feb. l7.-Presidcnt
Roosevelt has directed James II. Gar
field, commissioner of corporations of
the department of m and Ia
Dor, to begin Immediately the oil IL
v~estigatiOn requested by the house of
representatives in a resolution adopt
ed unanimously. The investigation,
by direction of the president, will be
rigid and comprehensive.
The inquiry will be pressed as rap
idly as possible. Representative
Campbell of Kansas, author of the
resolution adopted by the house. had
a conference with President Roose.
welt. Mr.. Campbells idea is that the
investigation should concern partic.
ularly the situation in the Kansas
field, but he expressed to the presi-
dent his belief that the inquiry, once
begun, would extend to the operations
of the Standard Oil company in the
Beaumont field of Texas and perhaps
to other fields.
Secretary Hitchcock gave out a
statement arraigning as a gigantic
monopoly the present lease by the
Indian Territory Illuminating Oil
company of the right to prospect for
oil and gas throughout the entire
area of the Usage Indian reservation
and explaining the agreement reached
several days ago for cutting off more
than one-half of the lands operative
under this lease during the next ten
years.

Mr.. (. +. Sperry of Orlando,
Fla, was in the city today. the
guest of his old friend, Col. n. L.

This is Mr.. Sperry's first trip to
Texas, and he is enthusiastic in
regard to the State. He has just
returned from 4 visit to Corpus
Christi and the Brownsville coun-
try, and will go to many other sec
tons before returning to his home.
In fact, said Mr.. Sperry to-
day, I would like 10 be able to
settle here permanently, and am
certainly going to advise all the
energetic young men among my
acquaintance to locate in this
great State. The opportunities here
are simply unlimited Houston

BR0OKLYN'S 4c4DEMr.

the building and furnishing of fine new Acad-
envy of Music in Brooklyn. Up to The present
time 40 persons have subscribed ShGl.3OO. la@v-
ing a balance Of about S340O0O to be raised. Il
is the intention To make the pledges reach The
desired total of 81 lO0OOO0 before work is actual
ly begun and there ought TO be no difficulty
and little delay in getting guarantees 10 that
amount.
An acceptable site has already been purchase
nj a cost Of $24OOOO and ten architects of reputa
tOn have been selected 10 offer plans. The diff
ference between the sum for wlsch signatures
have been received already and the entire out
lay which the academy will require should be
made up at once by the public spirit of Brook
Iyn. II is true that in the season of amrse
ments Brooklyn sends across the arm Of the sea
large delegations to Manhattan Still. that part
of New York City is growing swiftly, and the

LIGHT AND W4TER.

Two of the universal neessaries OF life are
light and water, and in great urban com
munity like this they must be artificially sup
piled through some general and comprehensive
system. Between tine two there may seem to
be little natural connection, and such artificial
relationship, real or figuratve. as may exist
has usually been regarded objectionable
The too free use Of water in the manufacture
OF gas and the TOO great injection of water
into the stocks Of illumination companies have
certainly been condemned. There is. however,
a natural relationship. at least potentially. ex-
listing between the water supply and the light
supply of this city which is susceptible OF cult
walton TO the mutual benefit of those services
and 10 the great profit of the community.
New-York is peculiarly fortunate in respect
10 its water Supply-in having near at hand
ample sources at an elevation great as 10 per
nit delivery by gravity thus avoiding the eX-
pense Of pumping. 1t surely should be obvious
that there is positive aS well as a negative
virtue in that circumstance. and that 1t may
not only produce actual profit, but also avoid eX-
pense The fall Of water from its high level in
the hills 10 the lower level Of the city is at
tended with Il great exercise Of energy, which
may we'll be utilized for industrial purposes
without in the least interfering with freedom
or efficiency of delivery Such use of the water

cost of the supply and would 10 that extent re-
duce the expense of the city's water service.
Ia the artificial supplying Of electric light one
of the chief items of cost is the generation Of
power If the plant must be driven by steam
the cost of fuel and of engineers and stOkers
labor greatly adds to the expense of the system
The prime desideratum is cheap power for
driving the machinery which generates the cur
rent Now. there can be- no cheaper power than
that furnished by a natural fall Of water. and
that is precisely the power which. as we have
seen New-York has lying close at hand. There
is reason 10 believe that in the present water
system in the Croton Valley a considerable use
of water power might be made without inter-
fering with the quantity. quality or speeG OF
supply II is quite certain that in the proposed
new water system. in Ulster County. there will
he available Il very large water power.
Now there win lie open 10 the city two
courses One will; be 10 neglect that water
power and let il run to waste, thus causing the
water supply 10 cost its maximum, without on
set. and leaving light 10 be produced at the
maximum Of cost for power. The other will be
ia utilize the water power for driving an elec-
trical plant, thus crediting the water supply
with a fine Offset against irs cost and reducing
its net cost 10 . minimum. and producing light
at the minimum expense for power. 1t is a
choice between dear water and dear light and
cheap water and cheap light. 1t should be in
conceivable that the State government would
compel the city Ia adopt the less desirable Of
the two.
