Device Which Causes a Small River
to Actually Run Up Hill.

The great irrigating canal across the
valleys of Sosa and Ribabona in Spain
has just been completed. The system
includes a monster siphon $500 feet
long which brings the water UP over
a range of high hills. This was done
to save the very much greater ex-
pense OF t%unneling, Many engineers
said the plan could not be made to
work, but 1t proved a c when
the sluice gates were recently opened

Cream Soups.

Many sorts of vegetables can be
used to make cream soups. Peas in
particular make a delicious soup.
Beans also, celery, potatoes, squash
and tomatoes, these al. make delicious
soups. One housewife adds instan.
taneous tapioca to her tomato soup,
which gives 1t an addedsrichness. An.
other with a liking for celery puts a
stick or two into most Of her soups to
give it a flavor. II soups are liked
quite hot and peppery, q teaspoonful
of Worcestershire gives the de-.

.BR|CKL SIGN A
NEW SCALE OF WAGES.
Men and Bosses Compromise
and Have Set the Pace for
Other Trades.
INCREASE OF 40 CENTS
Men Ask for 80 cents and Bosses
Suggested to Split Difference
No Strike.

After discussing in a thorough
manner and viewing the matter from
all sides, the members of the local
masons and bricilayers' union have
decided to accept the compromise
the bosses offered and not to insist
on the amount originally demanded.
Now that the masons have settled it
is almost certain that The rest of the
trades will also come to an agree
ment and no labor troubles will oc-
cur, according to the present favora-
bic outlook.
Several weeks ago, as told in the
NEWS, nearly all of the mechanics
in this city, belonging to different
trades, put in a demand for more
wages, beginning May |, when the
present agreement with the bosses
expires The building trades asso-
citation took the matter mp and, after
looking into it decided on what they
could pay the different trades This
was put up to the mechanics and the
masons arc the first to hold u meet
ing and agree TO the figures of the
bosses
The masons and bricklaycrs now
receive S4 per day, or fifty cents an
hour. They asked for an Increase OF
eighty cents, making the pay one cent
a minnie. The bosses told them that
this was impossible, but that they
would split the difference and give
them forty cents increase, or fifty
RI five cents an hour, with the under
standing hat when they could do so,
they would raise the scale. The ma
sons will continue at work and the
now scale will take effect the first of
next month.
The next in line that The bosses
have to deal with are the journey
men carpenters. They have asked for
an increase and the bosses have
agreed TO give them a little less than
they ask until they can see the way
clear to give thcm more. This com
promise is still under consideration.
The painters are to get an increase
to So a day The laborerS are to get
an increase The plumbers request
has not been disposed of as yet. The
plumbers gets SO. 80 and want $4. 1t
is thought that they will come to
some sort of an agreement.

senators. It says some evidence was
given to show that statements were
made by the senators to a Newark

the alleged attempt. While he sen

statements they say that the reporter
gave 10 them an entirely erroneous
construction. The reporter also says
