A STUDY IN ECONOMY
Public Economy Is Indi-
yiduaI Gain.
A Comparison OF Present Expenses
with those Ot Twelve Months Ago.

Last January, (lOOG,l the water
works and electric light plant con
sulmcd u little over twelve hundred
barrels fuel OIL. costing 6'c per
barrel, making tins one item Of
expense figure. IN round numbers,
$500,
Fuel oil has advanced in price
fully fifty per cent. M to this
time, making il now cost the plant
D5c per barrel The first lifteel,
days Of the present mOntl, indicates
that the consumption Of fuel oil
will amount to between Fix aud
seven hundred barrels. costing
somewhere about 5000. Notwith
standing the 80 per cent, advance
IN price. tho plant will save near
" 20 per cent, Of the expense Of
tuel over the cost Of this item of
q Year ago. There must be a rea
som for this.
"A year ago the users Of the ser
vice gave no thought or consldera
ton to the question Of economy Of
the plant. Their lights were rare
~ turned OIL in business houses or
offices. The engines Of the plant
had TO carry the maximum load
sll night. Thus the great con
sumption Of fuel.
The introduction Of the meter
changed the phaze Of matters con
siderably. The economical use Of
light became, ut once, u question
Of first consideration with the light
consumer. No light was nnncces-
sarily burned any length Of time.
by this economy ON the part Of
the users the plants load has been
much lightened and the saving Of
fuel In consequence.
Had the increased price Of fuel
come before the meters were in
stalled 1t would indeed have been
embarrassing. For instance, there
would, IN all probability. have
been a like consumption for this
month, ma there was . year ago;
and this 300 barrels would have
cost the plant practically $1,000.
This cost of fuel would have forced
u higher rate fOi lights.
II IL easy 10 ace that the saving
10 the plant, by the introduction
Of meters, has been the difference
between 1900 and 800 for the
one month of January. 1t il also

DRAINAGE CANALS
Accomplishments for 1907
Promise to Exceed any
Former Years.


Last Saturday y meeting Of the
land owners along PEBBLES Coulee
was held fer the purpose Of taking
act ion in the direction If raising
the necessary funds to complete
the work Of dredging that couler
out as for up as:he 4O-arpent road
The proposition il to make this
canal loft wide ut the bottom, &c
#. at top and Aft. deep; cut on an
even grade 40 as to drain itself dry.
Messrs. T.. II. Burke and A. Il
Romero attended the meeting
We understand that it was q sue
cess in that the necessary balance
of the FUNDS was pledged.
The owners Of Sterling Planta
lion have contracted with Messrs.
Sprague 4 Go. to take care Of
that part OF The work fellow the
+. and A. Il. II. track. The PO-
i'ce Ju,y appropriated 5000, condi-
Toned upon q like appropriation
being made by this city. The
Ci.y Council promptly appropriat
/ tue $500, conditioned upon the
canal being completed to the 40
arpent road. This lightcned the
burden Of the landowners through
out the section, leaving them t.,
raise from among themselves the
necessary Jalsnce. The prospects
for this work being completed are
very Omising.
The work in the Petite Anse
district is going ahead nicely.
Each day finds the balance of the
work TO he accomplished appreci
ably less. Mr.. Anglers is making
good Roadway and barring ilnprob
able happenings will have the
whole work completed well within
contract time.
The work on the New Iberia

IN order to convince Congress Of the

this remark in discussing the subject
with a Times reporter today.
Aroused Over Necessity.
Secretary Cortelyou, Assistant Secre-
tary Edwards, and Director of the Bu-
reau Sullivan are thoroughly aroused
over the crying necessity for a great
new building in which TO house the 3.70O
men and women who manufacture the
country's paper money, bonds, postage
and revenue stamps and other fine en-
gr2Ved work. They viii see to il that
when the plans for the new building arc
presented to Congress at its next ses-
sion that subcommittee from the
House and Senate are appointed 10 make
personal inspection Of the big en-
craving plant. All are convinced that
in that case seeing must result IN be-
lievfng, and that all that the Secretary
may recommend viii be granted.
Twice as Large.
1t is understood that these recon-
mendations win embody plans for a new
building at least twice as large as the
present plant, and possibly three times
the capacity. The present buildings
viii then either be torn down or used
for some other purpose. A suitable site
has not as yet been selected, but one is
now being searched for. and it is under
stood that II will be somewhere near the
present one. The present plant will
have TO be in operation right UP to the
time of moving into the new, as loss
OF time would entail serious conse-
QueGces.
More space, more light. more air
these are the things that must be had. .

KOREAN MOBILES
PUT IN PRISON
BY JAP PANESE
Statesmen Are Accused
OF Conspiracy Concern
ing Retired Emperor.
Mob Spirit Growing in
Seoul, and Situation
Is Alarming.

SEOUL. July 4-Following another
night conference at the palace, several
more Korean statesmen were arrested
today and thrown in Jail with those
arrested yesterday. This action IS the
result OF discovery OF the Japanese
centering around the retired Emperor.
Among those arrested are Prince Pax
Yong 40, four high military Officers
Grand Chamberlain VI Dochoi, and an
elder statesman.
The new Emperor is not permitted
out Of his fathers sight and is prac-
ucaily in the same isolated position.
Both are in small building adjoining
the American consulate, where the
Emperor has long been isolated. The
reins OF government are In the hands
Of the japanese. The retired Emperor
insists that he is still the ruler, which
precipitated the crisis Of yesterday and
today.
The prisoners are charged with re-
sponsibility for a conspiracy TO assassI-
nate the offending ministers ana. take
the Emperor to a place OF safety when
the abdication would be nuiliheG.
Marquis Ito insisted that the abdica-
ton be acceded TO and that the new
Emperor Issue an cdict advising its ac-
ceptance by the people The old EN-
peror refuses 10 permit his son to act.
hobs continue 10 threaten, and the
situation is full OF possibilities. Jap
anese authorities regard the situation
as being alarming and growing worse.
Troops are being hurried into Seoul.
The working members OF the cabinet
who enjoy Marquis Ito's protection. are
passing IN and out OF the castle under
japanese guard. The work Of the cabi-
net will not be finished until after the
exile OF the former Emperor. This. n
accomplished without the murder OF the
depossd Emperor. will make a date Ia
Korean history.
