lars in bonds to pay for the lands /
and rights covered by the options,
and it is estimated that it will take
twenty-one million, five hundred
thousand more to bring the water
to the city through a system OF
closed conduits and tunnels, two
hundred and nine miles in length.
The course will be along the base
of the Sierra Nevada and Teha-
chapi mountains to a point south
west of Mojave, thence southeast
the San Fernando valley.
The mean flow of water will be
twenty thousand miners inches,
or about two hundred and sixty
million gallons every twcnty-four
hours; the maximum thirty thous-
and inches, or three hundred and
ninety million gallons. The latter
will come in the warm months of
summer, the time of greatest need
in this part of California. 1t is cs-
timated that this will be an ample
supply for city of two and half
millions of inhabitants, and means
the practical irrigation of the
country within a radius of twenty
miles about the center OF Los
Angeles. The same water having
a head of tremendous force, will
generate, according to some, cleo
trical energy enough to light the
whole city, drive all it's street cars,
and run all of the machinery of its
shops and mills. ]. B. Lippincott,
United States photographic engi-
neer, estimates the force at fifty
Thousand horsepower, which
should produce an annual income OF

Exposition viii Benefit Idaho.

George E. Boos of Seattle, special
commissioners to Idaho is working
in the state in the interest of the
exposition. 1t is the hope of the
exposition management and the peo-
pie OF Seattle that Idaho will take
full advantage of the opportunity
that the exposition offers to ex-
plot her resources and advantages,
and make liberal appropriation
for her participation.
The exposition, which will be
held primarily to exploit Alaska,
Yukon and the countries bordering
upon the Pacific ocean, will confer
everlasting benefits on Idaho. The
several million persons who visi'
/ the exposition will gain much
knowledge of Idaho's resources anC
advantages through the exhibits O
The state. 1t is estimated that a
least 100000 persons from the cas-
will visit the expositieh, and takinI
the Lewis and Clark exposition as
criterion, a large percentage @
these will visit the other states i
/ the Pacific Northwest to investi
gate possibilities and see the "or

The Deserted Claim Denver TFG sse ss

And the coyote cries the night
hours dresr;
There are unknown footsteps that
softly creep,
And the voice of the burro is
kindly cheer.
Still he dreamed as others had done
AS others shall do in the days to
Of finding wealth in unbounded
store,
And joyfully bearing his treasure
home;
But fortune is chary when all is
told
Her smiles are the hardest on
earth to gain,
And where one is favored with
shining gold
A thousand others may toll in
vain.
Thus sit and muse in the camp
fire glow,
While the welcome evening meal
is spread,
And the sound of the river comes
soft and low;
And the stars shine brilliantly
overhead;
For my heart is saddened day by

We pass in sunshine or dripping

That frequent roadmark upon our

Up where the snow shines pure and
white
On the peaks that point to the
summer sky,
Up in the gulch by the evening light
saw, as we travelled slowly by,
A claim deserted and left alone,
A shaft sunk in the mountain
side,
A roofless cabin, of logs rough hewn,
Where so e one had labored till
hope had died.
And later on, when our camp was
made,
And the white tents pitched for
another night,
While the pine trees weiridly tossed
and swayed,
In the CHEEKY glow of our camp
freight,
When merry voices rang on the air,
And smiling faces flashed in and
I thought of that cabin rude and
bare,
Of it's owner, who labored in
hope and doubt
He had come, perhaps, from some
eastern home,
For speedy wealth, to this west
crn cline,
And homesick and weary, and all
alone
He had faithfully toiled for some
friendly sign.
Cold means the wind through The

The Herald and News is very much
gratifed that the movement looking.
to the establishment Of a hospital in
Newberry is meeting with such
hearty response from the people. 1t
ought to be a very easy matter for
the committee with the assistance
and cooperation Of the twenty-nine
physicians in this county to raise the
necessary amount for the erection Of
the hospital. According to the notice
of the committee published in another
part Of this paper a subscription !;
mas been furnished to each physician,
and if he will take the interest in it,
which he ought, it will take bat very
little stock from each one to raise the
necessary amount.
This is very important movement
and the people Of Newberry county
cannot afford to let it fail, and the
time to do the work is now.

SOUTHERN IS NOT RETA1LATING

Washington, September 24.-Presi-
dent Finley, Of the Southern Railway,
today issued a statement as to the
reasons for the recent stoppage of
construction work and reductions in
shop forces, in which he said:
E|In some quarters it has been rep
resented that work has been stopped
and forces reduced as a measure of
retaliation against adverse state leg
islation. In no case has this been
trueA This company has not been
governed, in any case, by any but
sound business considerations; such
as must govern a railway as we'll as
every business enterprise. Current
railway income is insufficient to pro-
vide funds for improvements and bet.
terments. These can only be provid-
ed for now, as in the past, by OBJ
tanning new capital. Present financial
conditions and the present attitude
Of investors toward railroad securi-
ties are such that it is impossible for
the moment to sell railroad securi-
ties on basis that any business con-
Germ, managed in accordance with
sound business principles, would be
justified in accepting. It has, there
fore, been necessary to postpone many
important projects for improvement.
Only those will be pushed to COM
pletion at tnis time on which work
has progressed so far that the pub
lie and the railway can receive the
benefit Of their completion at an ear
ly date. Other projects have not been
abandoned, but will be carried out
just as soon as conditions are such
that the necessary capital can be Sc
cured.'

satisfaction Of knowing that nobody
was taxed to pay for it.-Chester
Lantern.
The tuition amounts to a very small
matter in any Of our colleges. In
view Of the very small number of
those who attend our state schools
being able to pay the tuition we have
about come to the conclusion that it
would be best to abolish tuition char
ges and at the same time abolish
all scholarships. Say to the young
man who desired to attend the state
school, here it is, we furnish you the
school and the tuition but you must
do the rest.
These free scholarships and this
farce at charging tuition, both, are
resulting in too many parents cert1-
flying to what is not true in order to
save a few dollars. And what about
the influence on the boy who knows
that his parent has saved the small
amount of tuition by false statement.
The same is true to large extent at
Winthrop.
The free tuition in the state COL
leges has no effect on the d5nomina-
tional schools. We once thought it
did but when Winthrop and Clemson
were established the demoninational
and private colleges had more pupils
than before. There is an awakening
for higher education but it should not
be given free.

FUNERAL OF E. A. RAY.

The funeral services of Edward Ad- dison Ray whose death occurred at West Haven last Saturday, took place from his late home yesterday after noon. The services were conducted by the Rev. N. J. Squires of the West Haven Congregational church. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends of the deceased present. including his son, Nathaniel, who came from California to attend the funeral. Many beautiful floral tributes were sent, as a tribute to his memory. The interment was in Oak Grove cem- etery.
 MT. Ray was injured in a trolley ac- cldent at New Haven about last East CT time, and had never recovered his health. He had been unable to walk without crutches since that time, and his strength had gradually failed, heart weakness being the direct cause of his death. MT. Ray was eighty two years old. He was for many years secretary and treasurer of the New Haven and Northampton railroad,
