INDIGNATION ON
NORTH TEMPLE
Administration Roasted by
Owners of Flooded
Property.
WANT AN AQUEDUCT BUILT
VIADUcT OVER o. S. L. TRACKS
DECLARED DANGEROUS.

The American" administra ton was
roasted to a turn and then burned brown
at an indignation meeting of the resi-
dents of North Temple street, held in the
Sixteenth ward meeting house. The meet
ing was well named. Every one in attend
ance was trimming over with wrath and
spent the evening sparring for an open
ing to expend the surplus.
The purpose of the gathering was to ap-
point committee to visit the city coun-
Gil and ask that the overflow of City
creek. which flows down North Temple
street be cared for in some manner, so
that it would not flood the yards and
property of the protestants. The high
water has done a great deal of damage in
this section. The committee appointed to
secure relief from the present conditions
was told to secure from the city council
an appropriation to built an aqueduct
from Nourth North to Ninth West streets,
either covered over ard provided with
manholes. or with a widened channel and
cement sides and bottom, and TO have this
built without one cent of cost to the
property holders Of that district.
Fernstrom In 1t.
Councilmen Fernstrom and Holley rep
resented the city council at the meeting.
Councilman Fernstrom with Characters
tic eloquencs stamped the move with his
approval and said that il was good plan,
and that he would labor for its passage in
the council The city council of the
Democratic administration which was
supplanted by the present body, it was
said had appropriated $4,000 to be used
for the very purpose about which the
North Temple street residents were gath
cred to express their righteous indigna-
ton. Shortly after this money was APP
prOpriated the present administration
came into power and nothing was done
about the matter. What became of this
money and why the Improvements were
not carried out these same residents
would like to know.
The viaduct over the Oregon Short Line
tracks was another point of attack at
which many of the speakers directed their
OTatoTiCal fire. 1t was said that this VIA
duct was a menace TO the district and as
dangerous as though there were the same
old grade crossing. The viaduct is not
lighted and hence. it was maintained, ex-
tremeiy dangerous at night. Instances
were cited where street cars colided with
teams going over the viaduct 1t was Sug
gested that this fact also be brought to
the attention OF the council, but finally it
was decided that the committee chosen

Gil to extend the aqueduct carrying the

America toward japan as indicated by the
welcoming of Japanese immigrants to
South America and the fostering of trade
and commerce with the island empire.
This review then dwells upon the as
sumed identical ethnic origin of the Jap
anese and the Indians of Latin-America,
and says that perhaps among the sur
prises of the future will be the develop
ment of a widespread Japanese influence
on unsupported ethnic grounds. which
may terribly upset that manifest des-
tiny" of supremacy over the American
continent which American statesmen have
been proclaiming since the early days of
the republic.

TRAGEDY OF AIR AND SEA
Little Hope That the Two British
Officers Who Went Up in a
Balloon Are Alive.

London, June /. $50 a MIN spite of
the most strenuous efforts of the govern
ment authorities and others, the fate of
the two young engineer officers, Lieuten-
ant Caulfield and Lieutenant Leake, who
went up in bolloon from Aldershot camp
May Is, remains a mystery, and the slen-
der thread of hope grows less and less
as he hours pass and no news OF the mis-
sing men comes to hand. There is every
reason to believe that another tragedy
OF the air and sea has taken place
The officers at Aldershot have practi-
cally given up hope. 1t is thought that
the balloonists, confused by the heavy
mist, mistook their bearings. This theory
is borne out by the log which was recov-
cred from the derelict balloon and IN
which it is recorded that the two off
GERS were trying to descend Tuesday
evening. the same time the balloon was
seen drifting out to sea by the Weymouth
coast guards. 1t is feared that the aero
nauts were either thrown out when the
basket struck the water or that they
were drowned subsequently when the bal
loon, after being driven bounding over
the waves. finally dropped into the chan
mel off Exmouth It is interesting to
note that the log shows the balloon
reached an altitude of 5000 feet.

LATIN AMERICA AND JAPAN
London Saturday Review Sees a Sur
prise in Store for the
United States.

London, May S1-The European policy
in the far east and the friction between
the United States and Japan Is engag
ing the attention OF the weekly reviews
of London. The Spectator this week COM
ments upon the absence of America and
Germany from the system of alliances
now embracing Great Britain. France,
Russia and Japan, and after dealing with
the various reasons that animate America
and Germany in holding aloof the paper
says one object of these alliances is to
enable Europe, plus Japan, to press its
advance on China with irresistible weight.
This however. as q means of preserving
peace in the far east will not be possible
unless Europe is united, and the Specta-
tor, therefore, urges that Germany should
be courteously invited TO enter the Euro
pean ring and that an inquiry should be
addressed to Washington asking whether
America intends to await events or join
Europe and Japan in a scheme for secur-
ing in the far east a long period of op-
portunity for peaceful and fruitful adj
vance.

ticle dealing with the relations between

The Spinning Girl.
By Emily Grant Hutchiing..

I'M, THE Puritan maid used to spin
w All day on her swift flying wheel.
And glad was her song
AS the flax sped along
Down over the old-fashioned reel
Yes, the Puritan maid used to spin
And soft was the light in her eyes,
For close by her side
Her true love would abide
All eager to claim her, his prize.
And the motor-mad girl, she, too. spins
Away through the mall and the park
She's lissome of limb
And you'll find her in trim
For many motoring lark
Yes the motor-mad girl, She too, spins;
But swift as her great machine goes,
She brings home no spoil
The fruit of her toll
Save what the speedometer shows.
Then hail to you, blythe spinning maids,
Fair types of an eer-changing age.
One sportive, one coy
You double mans joy
And most of his sorrow assuaee

TELLING TROUBLES.

From the New York Weekly.
Some cynic has said that man talks
to show how much he knows, but a
woman delights in telling what she does
not know.
However that may be, there IS GER
tainly different character to the per
sOnaI confidence Of men and women.
The outward current Of woman's
life will often flow as smoothly over dead
and buried hopes as a river ripples over
its pebbles.
She will probably relate her small tri-
ais and triumphs, but the deep expert
ences OF her heart are seldom bruited
abroad. But let a man meet a great dis
appointment or suffer a severe loss, ne
becomes first moody and morose; then
he takes TO inhicting his woes upon his
friends, who often find It difficult to
know how to console him, not to men
ton their brutal lack of interest IN grlefs
OF any but OF the briefest narration.
On the whole perhaps the woman's 5
way IS more agreeable, since her hearers
are not put to such severe tests OF
friendship.
