System, Sewerage, Etc.

Covington, March 20, 1906.
Mr.. W. G. Kentzel, Editor st. Tam
many FARMER, Covington, La,
Dear Sir-I herewith copy . letter
which have received from Mr.. F. A.
W. Davis, President Of the Indianapo-
lis Water Works Co., Of Indianapolis,
Ind.
Mr.. Davis is an expert in regard to
water works, and as this is q matter in
which CoviDgton is Just now vitality in
terested, thought that possibly you
might like to publish the letter in your
valued paper.
1'''' HARVEY E. ELLIS.
Indianapolis. Ind, March l6, 1906.
Harvey e. Ellis Esq, Covington, La.
Dear Sir-In answer to your inquiry
40 to what system Of water works for
your town would cost, would say,
that . complete, up-to-date system,
containing $4,000 feet Of mains from
six to twelve inches Of standard weights
Of cast iron water pipes, coated with
DR.. Smiths coal tar varnish, and tested
to 800 pounds to the square inch, with
latest improved machinery Of Z, ,0O0, 900
gallons capacity in twenty-four hours,
would cost about 953, 900.
This estimate includes valves and
hydrants Of the very latest make; also
water tune boilers aud three eigat-ineh
wells, 400 feet deep; also receiving
wall and hnildinpA
The pressure to be carried for fires,
| 120 pounds to the square inch and
domestic pressure Of forty.five pounds
to the square inch.
So far as am able to Judge by drink
ing the water and seeing It now from
the wells, 1t will be 'flne for domestic
supply.
Iwould suggest that meters be used
for al business houses, hotels, board
ing houses, livery stables, and where
water Is used In large quantities.
II the company Is to be private, then
q franchise should be granted for twen-
ty-tive years, with the privilege OF pur-
chase BY the town after five years, upon
giving six months notice. The town
should contract with the company for
period Of ten years, the contract TO be
continuous after ten years until new
one is made; the appraisement to be
made by Ave disinterested experts,
two to be chosen by the town, two BY
the company, and the nth by the toul
chosen, In the case Of purchase.
| The town to pay hydrant rental Q!
$50 per annum for each, which should
cover tho water used in flushing the
sewers and town buildings. Drinking
fountains should pay the same % ny
drauts.

HARVARD At last.
CONTINUED from Second Page.)

Harvard only had second to her
credit. For a quarter Of mile further
Yale prevented Harvard from increas-
ing her lead, but over the next and last
quarter Of a mile Harvard began to-
slip away from her rival little by little.
A quarter Of a mile from the finish
Boulton raised his stroke to 80, where
he gamely held it for short distance
as Harvard raised hers, first to 81
then to 80 and finally to 80, Filley with
deadly precision was now measuring
off Yale's defeat When the Harvard
captain let go the last burst of his
power Yale had finished up every
ounce of her endurance and the Grim
son shell sped on to victory, Harvard
finished the race in % minutes sec
onds. Yale in % minutes II seconds.

TWO RACES FOR YALE.
Freshmen Event Bitterly Fought From
End to End.

New London, June 2S.--Yale won from
Harvard this morning in the freshman
eight-oar and the varsity four-oar
races, the two events preliminary to the
great contest between the eight-oared
crews representing the two universities,
which started from the draWbridge
shortly after A o'clock this afternoon.
The freshman race was a nerye-racking
contest, bitterly fought from start to
finish, with the result in doubt up to the
last few seconds. Form triumped how
ever, and the better crew, from a tech
nical point of view, was the winner.
The scant length separating the two
shells as they flashed across the finish
line about represents the superiority Of
the New Haven youngsters.
In the four Dared contest Harvard
made a sorry showing indeed falling
further and further astern as the race
progressed, until at the finish fully eight
lengths Of water ran from the stern Of
the Yale shell to the bow of the Cam
bridge boat.
Thus. with two victories to her credit,
Yale looked forward with even greater
eagerness to the varsity race this aft
ernoon. Confidence was unbounded.
ebuIlience unrestrained. Odds on Yale
went begging, the very atmosphere
seemed to assume blue tinge, while
Harvard men, not little humbled and
deeply worried as to the prospects Of
their crew in the face of the morning s
defeats. had no words, and no money
more eloquent under existing circum-
stances-with which to quench, or at
least temper, the ardor of Yaue OPP
| timism.
Nevertheless, rowing sharps, who had
no especial utilization with either uni
versity, and who as a consequence were
unaffected by the play of sentimental
emotions, asserted that the varsity
race had yet to be won by Yale, fig
ure of speech which in rowing parlance
means more than the constituent words
imply. If it is as close, as well fought
as the freshman race adherents of
neither institution of learning can ask
more.

Not Returning.
1t was quieter about New Haven, and
especially the Yale campus, last even
ing than it has been on the night of the
big boat race since 1899, since for the
first time in seven years the Yale var
sity crew was defeated by Harvard.
The usual celebration was of course
non-existent last evening.
The immense crowd from this city
which attended the boat race yester-
day, both on the trains and on the
Peck, had grand time and were pre-
sented with a magnificent sight. The
day was warm and the faces of many
OF the women and girls, who returned
adorned in blue, We're painted crimson
red by the heat of the sun. No acct
dent marred the pleasure Of the day
for those who went to see the two RI
walls strive for victory.
The 7:4O morning special for the
freshman race was fairly crowded, but
! the largest number left on the regular
and special trains around noon in time
for the varsity event
A large party of directors and other
officials of the railroad, with their
friends, had car 200 and coach for
their accommodation The railroad
party numbered twenty persons and
they viewed the race from the observa-
ton section of 200.
The Richard Peck was crowded and
left shortly after twelve o'clock for the
race. 1T took an advantageous position
along the course and near the finish as
possible. The Peck arrived here at a
little after eight o'clock.
The New Haven road had provided
special arrangements for the service to
New London and had an extra number
of detectives on hand to protect the
crowls on the observation trains and at
tho depol,
Those who saw the race on the obser-
walton trains returned before six
o'clock, while those on the Peck re-
turned little after eight O'Clock. The
next later train to this city was one
end one-half hours in making the trip
owing to delays.
The Yale crew returned very quietly
on a special car attached to the train
hich arrived in this city at 800 last
evening. All the men returned to New
Haven except Captain Morse All were
in good condition. H. Moves, 1908, was
| chosen captain at New London for next
year. He will be a junior next year.

Root Reaches Valparaiso

Valparaiso, Sept. 5.-Elihu Root,
secretary of state of the United
States, and his family, accompanied
by Senior Huneus, the Chilean minis
ter of foreign affairs, and Mr.. Hicks,
the American minister to Chile, ar
rived here by special train Tuesday
afternoon after passing through beau
tiful valleys covered with the verdure
of early spring and streaked with
continuous lines of pink blossomed
peach trees, while in the distance
snow-capped mountains glistened in
stalwart beauty. Taking. electric cars
the party passed through the Amen
dral district, which was devastated
by the recent earthquake. The sight
of the American secretary Of state
and his party riding second class on
the top of a street car awakened live
ly comment. Arriving at the wharf
the party proceeded directly on board
the cruiser Charleston. Mrs. Root is
somewhat tired as the result of her
long journey, but all the members of
the party are in good health. The
Charleston left last night, reaching
1ocopilia.

Several large cod are kept in one Of
the tanks of the Amsterdam aquarium,
necessarily near the surface and there
fore exposed to strong light from
above. Now, the cod, though not q
deep sen fish. is not n surface swim
mer and lives at depths where the sun
light must be very much modified by
passage through the water. 1t lives in
what TO us would be semidarkness. Ev-
strong light is suffering from an ex-
traordinary hypertrophy of the eye.
Tho whole organ has become over
grown, as If In the effort to adjust It.
self to the use of more light rays it had
become overequipped and then useless.
The cod, in fact, are blind. The most
interesting feature in this change is the
extraordinary rapidity with which in.
creased supply of light rays has over
developed the organ for its use. It.has
taken place not by slow degrees from
individual to individual, but In course
OF time to be measured by months and
In every individual in. the tank. If
this example Is a measure of the rapid
ity with which such changes take place
among fishes, the adaptation of those
creatures which have migrated from
the shallow waters Of the deep seas,
shown by the total loss or enormous
development Of their eyes and the
growth Of Illuminating organs to light
the abyss, may have been as rapid as
1t Is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Spectator.

A Hotbed of Violence.

The island of Sardinia is hotbed OF
violence. The 'Granary of Rome" re-
sists the softening influences Of civil
cation and remains with many of the
peculiarities which distinguished it In
the middle Of the last century. I'm the
country" writes a traveller of that
time, "thc men are clothed in goatskins
one before and another behind, with
out breeches, shoes or stockings, and
a wooden or skin cap on the head. The
women have no other habiliments than
a long wooden gown and wooden cap
The peasants always go armed to de-
fepd themselves from one another, for
they are all robbers and assassins, Sc
that travelling in the interior is extreme
ly unsafe without an escort, and it is
even dangerous for ships to send their
people on shore for water unless they
are well armed. In short, the Sardes
are the Malays of the Mediterranean.

The Country school,

If there is one mission more than
another that the grange should accom-
plish, it is the improvement of country
schools. 1t is a hopeful sign that the
grange as an organization is giving so
much thought and study to the prob
lem of education, and the closer the
grange and the school can be brought
together the better for both. There are
some things to teach in the schools be-
sides multiplication tables and declen-
sions. The American school should
stand, and l believe does stand, for
character as well, as scholarship. The
ordinary people make the state, and
the schoolteacher should help to mold
the character of the ordinary people.
Above all else let us take more inter-
est in the schools where our children
are trained. Let us cultivate the ac-
quaintance of the teachers. Let us see
to it that only teachers of ability and
strong character are employed, for it
must be the right character in the
teacher that inspires the right charac-
ter in the pupil.-G. a. Fuller.
