The Water Company
and the Pressure Test.

The test of the water mains which
was made last week when a pressure
4 of 125 pounds to the square inch was
put on has demonstrated two import
ant points, viz: that Mayor Bliss has
peen wrong in his contention that the
mains would not stand that much
pressure, and that President Pitt of
the Water Company has been wrong
in assuming that a 125-pound pres
sure would be dangerous to the plumb
ing in private dwellings and places OF
business throughout the city.
The test showed that the water
mains could stand the pressure and
that the private plumbing could also
stand it. 1t is true that the plumb.
ing in two or three cases gave out,
but these were obviously exceptional
cases which can have no bearing
whatever on the test as a whole.
Now the next thing to do is to see
that proper pressure is furnished
when a fire breaks out The water
company should do this without beins
forced to do It, and If it will not, then
the Mayor should see that the proper
legal means are invoked for that pur.
pose.
The excuse adopted by the water
company for not furnishing the pres
sure required by its charter, viz: that
the private plumbing throughout the
city would not stand it, was mere
pretext at the best, but there is nc
longer any ground even for that
Ler the company fulfill the require
ments of its charter by furnishing
adequate water pressure whenever
the latter is required for the protec'
ton of the city and il it wall not do
so, then let it's charter be annuiled
and its contract with. the city be de-
clared forfeited.

1t is probable that Mr.. Woollen will
spend his last years in the cabin when
he is ready to retire from active life.
He Is never so happy as when near to
nature and when surrounded by his
friends, the birds He has planted
more than $50 cherry trees in the rich
bottom lands. along with many berry
bushes, and in this way the place will
be self supporting before it is turned
over to the city. The rest of the land
will be left in its present primitive
state.
But to revert to the "cabin raisin'"
and the raisers. For several weeks
the work preliminary to a recent Sat-
urday's event had been going on. Trees
had been cut here and there out Of
Buzzard's Roost forest in such manner
that their loss would not be noticed,
and these logs had been dragged to the
top Of the hill, where there was a small
clearing In the thicket. There they
had been hewed roughly into shape
Meanwhile big basement Of cement
blocks had been built Then the cabin
had been built up about three logo
high by men hired for the work.
And then the invitations were sent
out by word Of mouth to all of the
farmers in the neighborhood to attend
the cabin raisin'." These accommo-
dating neighbors began to arrive early
In the morning, and about the time
that the ordinary dweller In the city
was turning over in bis bed for his
beauty sleep" the ak and the adze
were sounding from the clearing, and
chips were flying in all directions.
Four or six lusty farmers would slip
two or three heavy poles under a log,
pick it up and carry it to the wall.
There they would heft 1t to the top
Of the log wall by main strength, and
two men on top would trim the ends
Of the log so that it would lie firmly
In place at each corner Of the cabin.
Only few men could be employed at
a time, so the others lounged about
chatting, offering good advice or sharp
ening their jackknives on the big grind.

had arrived the work was well under

derstsnding on the subject and made
most people well weary Of It; but the
Governor and Mr.. Beard have iouDt
less given the matter so much
thought that they will be able to pre-
sent the points clearly. cut out all the
side issues and bring distinctly before
the public mind the real merits OF the
question. Mr.. Beard is reputed to be
an orator of force and eloquence. ano
the governor is plain, blunt mar

phase Of it, and has talked about 1t sc

The cabin is patterned after that in
which Mr.. WooIlen was reared, which
stood about mile and a half from
Buzzard's ROost. From recollection Mr..
Woollen made a rough sketch, and
from this an architect made a drawing.
A peculiar feature Of the building at
the present time Is the fact that no
provision has been made for doors or
windows, and this looks a bit strange
to the "tenderfOot," but assurance is
given that 1t is customary to build
log cabins with unbroken walls and
