The temporary military station at Marahui, Mindanao, has been named Camp Keithley in honor of an enlisted man-the late Fernando Keithley of Go. H, Twenty eighth infantry. Gen eral Corbin says in his order: "Pri- vate Keithley displayed most heroic and soldierly qualities in action with q band of about twenty Moros who at tackled an outpost of four men of which he was a member, about midnight on the 14th of November, 1903. Three members of the outpost were killed in the first rush and he was repeatedly wounded. He managed, however. to beat off the attack and fell back, fight ing constantly, for nearly three-quar- terS of a mile. He eventually reached the post. literally cut to pieces and gave the alarm, dying almost immedi- ately afterward."

The Siberian Railroad.

one of the surprises which the Rus eo-Japanese war has produced is the unexpected efficiency of the Siberian railroad. Prophecy was rife a year ago that the system would break down in Q month under the greatly increased pressure which the demands of the oriry in the east would create. To the confusion of the prophets nothing of the sort has happened. Men and munitions have been forwarded promptly. But there is another side to the question which has been generally neglected. The needs of the army have supplanted the ordinary com mercial demands of the country through which the road runs.
 A writer in the Bremen Wescr Jour nal declares that the industries of Si- bcria are completely paralyzed and that there cen be little doubt that it will take many years for the people to recover. At the different stations along the road vast quantities Of local products await shipment and as most of the Siberian stations have very lit tie storage room the corn and other material remain in the open air and in a short time are completely ruined The loss to the Siberians can not be estimated, and the suffering among this people, little blessed with earthly goods, is and will be very great.
 On account of thc ovcrcrowded con dition of the road the locomotives are working night and day. The engineers and firemcn work in shifts and thus are able to obtain rest. but the en-
 zines never cease turning their wheels Out of the 1900 new locomotives which were purchased last year 200 are now useless. a fact which is very seri ous, as in Russia there are only about 1O, GOO locomotives. There is little oppor- tunity given to repair the engines as there are few complete workshops in Asiatic Russia, a9s consequently it is

Election Contests.

It is a fine spectacle for the state of Colorado to see the selection of gov ernor thrown into the legislature. and the members Of that body dividing on party and personal lines with appar- entIy little or no reference to the ex- press1on of the peoples will. This Is a substitution of government by mob law for orderly rule. and the direct subordination of the executive to the birth of political corruption. and one of the lingering survivals in this coun- try of an old and hated system of set ting election contests.
 In all minor matters we have agreed to settle contested elections in the proper way. which is by judicial hear ing. The courts pass on the evidence, order a recount of ballots if neces- sary. and title is thus finally estab- lished. With reference to the more important places we still cling to the old ideas. which lend themselves to partisanship. passion and every kind of abuse. For instance, election contests in the house of representatives are still decided by that body itself, instead Of being referred to a court. The result is that men are almost always seat ed or unseated by strictly party vote. frequently in de- nance of the strongest evidence and as a reward for the most glar- ing frauds. So wherever there exists any law that gives to the legislative body the power to name an executive, in case the popular verdict is in doubt, the very foundations of popular gov crnment are shaken.
 Colorado is so deeply sunk in dis grace that one item moro or less can scarcely matter. The example of Col orado in this single particular. how ever, ought to speak to us all. Such q precedent led us to the verge Of civil war in 1876. We have guarded against that one contingency. but everywhere in the nation and in the states tho old system of deciding contests should be wiped out. In every case such dis putes should be referred to the proper court for the taking Of evidence and judicial determination based upon that alone

A grand banquet for 200 was given in our honor. It was typically Japanese, except that it was served on tables. The officers, you see, could not sit on the floor in their uniforms. And then we were presented with medals and orders. Yes, we worked side by side with the Japan ese nurses.

necessary to send the engines to Euro pean Russia when. they break down. In view Of these facts it is not sur prising that the Russian government is seriously considering laying a second line of track for which 300 engineers are making surveys. It is expected that the report of these men will be presented about the end of March and then energetic steps are to be taken for the commencement of the work. Large orders have been given for rails and ties in anticipation of actual operations.
 Some months ago work was com menced on the renewal of the rails on the present line and about three hun dred miles of road have been relaid on the west and about seven hundred on the east. There were purchased during the past year some SO,OO0 new cars and 400 locomotives and many cars were taken from the European lines and di verted to Siberia.

The American Type.

An exhibit of portraits Of prominent Americans held recently at the Chicago Art institute gives writer in the cur rent World of Today an opportunity to put this question, "Is There an Ameri- can Type?" The conclusion which he attempts to draw himself is somewhat vague. but he intimates that on the majority of the pictured faces of men successful in the conduct of large en- terprises there is stamped unmistaka- hly the impression Of pursuit The in ference is that in the writer's judgment the portrait of the successful Amer jean indicates the specialist.
 He does not name this impression of parsuit as the distinctive hallmark of the American type, but the majority of Americans will be inclined to accept it as such, though recognizing nothing derogatory in such acceptance. He finds the impression absent from the portraits painted by Gilbert Stuart and other artists of the colonial and rev olutionary period; but in these, of course, it would be folly to look for anything typically American since America had just begun to exist. A portrait collection of prominent con temporary EngIishmen would doubtless disclose the same mask of Urbanity which makes the colonial and revolu- tionary portraits so noncommittal. The subjects of both owed something to birth. and it is this accident of birth which enables them to wear a mask in their portraits The successful Amer ican of today. on the contrary. belongs entirely to his own generation. He has fought his way up and it is natural that his battles and their object should both be read in his face. That baffling title "The Portrait of a Gentleman" :" would fit almost any early American portrait or any portrait of the modern EngIishman of prominence It would be a misnomer for the successful lat ter day American.
 But if the latter represents a type, it is a type merely of today In the next generation the impression of pursuit will probably be a very faint one and it is even probable that in the portrait of the successful American of the fu- tUrc there may be read varied interests For never again in the history of this continent, at any rate. will such pow CT of concentration, such oneness of pursuit be demanded of the man who desires to accomplish as the present has demanded. The continent will have been conquered and the ability required will be chiefly of the admin fstrative variety. The visitor viewing a contemporary American portrait col lection hundred years from now will probably find that same banling mask of urbanity that distinguishes a con temporary English collection today.

Water by Compressed AIr.

The water supply of Los Angeles has in the past been received by gravity, only a few higher parts of the city being supplied by pumping into the mains. The growth of the city, however, has made an additional sup ply necessary and a pumping plant Is to be installed in the southwestern part of the city, where wells have been bored to water bearing strata lying GO to 200 feet below the surface.
 As these wells are too deep to per init of their operation by pumping en- zines on the surface. and as it would be commercially impracticable to pump them by deep well pumps. with long plunger rods. and, again. too costly to excavate pumping stations under ground near the water level, it has been decided to operate them with compressed air. which offers the fur ther advantages of aerating and cool ing the water and permitting one cen tral plant to operate all the wells scat tered over a half mile stretch.
 l lle SNSACiil duODNGu lS tAiG etit III t in which compressed air is forced through one pipe down to the bottom of the well, where it discharges under the mouth of another pipe reaching to the top of the we'll and emptying into the reservoir. The bubbles of air issu- ing from the first pipe enter the mouth of the second. but do not fill it com pletely. as a large amount of water is carried in between the bubbles.
 For this reason, the weight of water within the second pipe is less than in an equal cross section of the well ex- terior to the pipe. The pressure of the water in the well, therefore. is greater and forces the mixture of air and water in the pipe to rise constant ly, and as the bubbles of air are con tinually supplied at the bottom, this process goes on without intermission, the mixture of air and water dischars ing at the top of the well in prac- ticalIy constant stream. The air. as it rises toward the top, expands. thereby returning the N ork which was expended in it's compression, and. as in expansion the temperature of air is greatly reduced, it serves at the same time to cool the water

The Ben Greet Plays

[Editor Heraldl-A great mistake
was made when the management of
the Ben Greet Players announced a
reduction in price of seats of from
25 per cent to 3S1a per cent to all the
"clubs" of our city. These "clubs"
consist mostly of the wealthiest classes
in our midst, and they could easily
have afforded to pay the regular
prices.
The reduction should have been gen.
eral. Prices of $1.OO for the front and
seventy-five cents for the rear of the
ground floor, fifty cents and twenty
five cents for the balcony and twenty
five cents for the gallery would have
doubtless filled, or nearly filled the
Temple auditorium, for there are
thousands of people in our city who
cannot afford to belong to CLUBS" or
pay large sums for amusements. They
would have appreciated and enjoyed
the excellent performances of the Ben
Greet Players.
The educational value of such plays
to a community cannot be estimated.
and It is regrettable that such a blun-
der was made. A BUSINESS MAN.
