authorities in the United States A
striking illustration is afforded by re-
cent. events at Leicester, a remarkably
well managed borough supplying water
TO about 268,000 people, including some
districts outside its corporate limits.
Here the daily consumption has been
reduced quite recently from 20 to 10
United states gallons per capita. 1t ap-
pears that this has been partly due to a
shortage OF water, but In general II is
in line with tho set policy or the local
authorities.
Daily per capita consumptions of 100
gallons are generally looked upon as
models in America, and not few large
communities tolerate, while some boast
of, consumption land waste. mostly

per head per day. The fact that a
goodly number Of American cities get
on comfortably with from go to S5 gall
Ions a day, with little to account for II
save prudent measures against waste,
clearly shows that 1t Is wholly prac-
ticable to approach somewhat near
British figures for water consumption.
We do not however, set the lowest OF
the British, or even OF the American,
figures as a universal IDEAL But we do
plead for the suppression of absolute

Fine and Expresses Regret

Yielding to a momentary temptation,
Vincente Cearlie of Salt Lake City
concealed a purse containing a large
sum of money and jewelry, which had
been found by his wife in sleeping
car, en- route to Los Angeles, accord
ing to the story he told to Police JUS
tice Austin yesterday morning. He
pleaded guilty to petty larceny and
was fined $50 The fine was paid.
While the father was in the court
room up stairs. the Cearlie children
played in the lower corridor with their
big black dog and finally went to
sleep with their heads pillowed on
the dogs shaggy body.
The Cearlie family arrived in the
city yesterday morning at the Salt
Lake station and the father and mother
were promptly arrested by Detective
McCann, on a charge of purloining
money and jewels belonging to Mrs
Rhoda Harris of otis, Cal, another
passenger.
The detective said Mrs. Harris drop

found by Mrs. Cearlie. 1t is said she
turned the pocketbook over to heI

Mrs. Harris notified the station Off

JAPANs BID TO TOURISTS

In their desire to increase the pros
perity of their country and advance
her standing among the powers of the
world the ingenious Japanese are over
looking no opportunity. Realizing that
visits from peoples of other countries
not only yield large and immediate
profits to hotel keepers, merchants, rail-
roads and street car companies, but
lead to the interesting of foreign capt.
tai in the country's undeveloped re-
sources, the government has instituted
a vigorous campaign of advertising in
the United States and Europe. AS a
quantity worded official document de-
clares, lone of the numerous urgent
things to be done by her is to give
facility and convenience to foreign Wis
itors so as to make them satisfied and
joyful during their stay I'm Japan, for
they are her good customers. Building
more hotels is, of course one of the
needs, but the first subject to be con-
sidered is to improve and heighten the
standard of the guides. 1t is they who
come first and directly in touch with
foreign visitors and give them the first
impression about Japan and the Jap
anese, which once given cannot be
easily changed" Japanese guides have
long had a bad name. In Japan, as has
been pointed out, the function of the
guide is much more extensive than that
of his professional brethren in other
countries. The Japanese guide acts as
philosopher and friend as well. He is
interpreter, conductor guar Ian, inter-
mediator when his employer offends
against one of the million or more un-
written laws of the country, and also
acts as personal body servant. Fre-
quently he is entrusted with the money
of an entire party and thus acts as
seen, therefore, how much depends
upon his rustworthiness.
The Japanese government has now
taken the whole business of guidance"
as It calls il, under official jurisdiction.
All would-be guides must pass a gov
ernment examination. They are then
provided with badges. Graduates of
certain schools need not undergo exam
lnation. The guides are given special
instruction in the art OF making visitors
enjoy themselves. Strangers who are
especially distinguished or are sus-
pected of being rich or influential are
to be entertained by leading Japanese
citizens and given as favorable an inn
preston as possible OF the country.
Booklets containing Illustrations and
descriptions of Japan's scenic wonders
will be distributed In the United States
and Europe. This Is Just the kind OF
missionary work that II has been
urged. should supplement the efforts of

to 40 the next, and so on.
Just across the river the tepees Of the
swarthy Apaches dot the plain. The
warriors OF old Geronimo, now Uncle
Sans faithful laborers. dwell in peace
and harmony with his once deadly
enemy the white man, each doing his
fun share Of labor IN constructing the
engineering marvel of the age.
And yet this city Is doomed. Every
stone that Is laid In the narrow arch,
which Is to restrain the foaming river
now rushing through the canyon, brings
nearer and nearer the day when Roose-
welt marsh shall vanish beneath an
inland sea. When the great dam Is
completed in 1908. and It's massive gates
Of steel, Weighing 100000 pounds. are
shut down, rising flood will cover the
site of the city with 200 feet Of water.
The ingenuity of man has been taxed
I'm this work. 1t isolated position. the
difficult physical conditions, the tre-
mendous and unexpected floods, have
tried the mettle of the engineers. The
enormous amount OF cement required
was I'm itself n problem which forced
Uncle Sam to turn manufacturer i'm or
der to solve it. Nature having kindly
furnished an ideal site for dam, was
thoughtful enough to provide materials
near at hand for making cement. A
cement mill was quickly erected at n
cost Of 100000. The downward rush of
the river was utilized for electric power
to operate the mill, and many thousand
barrels of first-class cement have all
ready been used i'm the works.
Uncle Sam, Farmer
In acquiring the reservoir site Uncle
Sam bought ranch or two and has
gone to farming. A lot of hay is put up
for the horses. and vegetables and gar
den sass" are furnished the camps of
the government.
So 1t is easy to see that the engineer
who bosses the job has got to have u
clear BRAIN broad grasp, ana a ready
adaptablity to meet all kinds of condi-
tions and difficulties.
But while the city of Roosevelt, with
the homes of it's 1000 Inhabitants, is
doomed, fair valley is to be redeemed,
in which the agricultural possibilities
are not exceeded anywhere in the world.
Under almost tropical skies, with a soil
of wonderful fertility, the farmer in Salt
River valley will cultivate his orange
groves, his fig trees, his vines. while
his broad meadows will yield him heavy
harvests Of alfalfa six and seven times
a year.
The great lake which will be created
by the Roosevelt dam is to be tapped by
canals hundreds of miles long and ex-
tending all over the broad valley around
Phoenix. Vast areas now absolutely
worthless will be transformed quickly
into blossoming orchards and purpling
vineyards, and hundreds of happy
homes will dot a plain where now the
giant sahuarro rears its spiny head
and the gila monster roams at will

SEEK WAY TO
AVOID SMASHUPS
COUNTY OFFICIALS PROPOSE
GRAND JURY INQUIRY
May Result In Arrest OF Car Crews
In All Gases Who're Per-
sons Are Run
Down

It is probable. according to county
officials, that grand jury investiga-
ton will be made of the recent car
wrecks and the blame fixed for the
constantly recurring fatalities that
have made Los Angeles unenviably
prominent.
1t is said the Investigation will probe
into the causes for the collisions and
fatalities, and seek to find some rem
edy.
1t is believed the grand jury, under
the direction of District Attorney Fred
ericks, will at last bring about condl-
tions such as prevail in eastern cities
where car crews are at once arrested
as soon as anyone is run down by the
car, and held until an investigation Is
made.
1t is claimed that such action will
do more to provide a remedy than the
endeavor to find the missing car con-
ductors against whom warrants for
manslaughter are out.
Coroner's Warrants Out
Coroner's warrants for the arrest of
Conductor Witty and Motorman Nc
Kenzie are in the hands of Consta-
BILE Cline. The writs are returnable in
Justice Pierce's court.
All search for Allen L. Smith, con-
ductor of the Sierra Madre car that
was wrecked at Oneonta park, several
weeks ago, has been abandoned.
Following his escape, Conductor E. B.
Witty of the Redondo line was given
enough time to be in Mexico before
any attempt was made to apprehend
him. 1t is not thought he will be
found.
Motorman Mckenzie is supposed to
be ready to appear in court at any
time. He was painfully injured in the
Redondo line wreck.

WATERBURG, CONN, Aug. 29.-
Forty paupers in Brookside Home, the
town poor house, went on strike early
this morning and refused to go to work
on the farm and in the vegetable gar
liens. The reason they gave was that
they were not properly fed.
James P. Morris, superintendent Of
the department of charities, tonight
said the superintendent of Brookside,
Patrick Brennan, had run short of po-
tatoes and on account of delay in de-
livery it was necessary to leave pota-
toes off the breakfast menu.
This annoyed the inmates and they
refused to go to work. After a delay
of half day the authorities threatened
to fine the offenders and this frightened
them into submission. Mr.. Brennan
was ordered to keep a more generous
supply of potatoes on hand to avoid
such friction in the future.

N HANY a successful advertiser feels
N that although his advertising is
paying, if he could only eliminate
running waste and the element of chance,
that it would pay better.

ference to be credited to your profits.

Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-30

Do you think that your advertising, based
on unrecorded experience, and judgment,
and opinion, would prove 1907 right as to
plans, copy and media, when subjected to
the light of the Record of Results?

proved 80% difference in selling power in

vertisers who have transferred their ac-
counts to us has proved as high as 33%.

ford to ignore the opportunity we offer you2
