CHRISTIAN SCIENCE DAILY.

Go GREAT has been the progress OF the
- Christian Scientists that daily newspaper
is to be published IN Boston under the auspices
of that sect and with the approval the announce
ment states, of Mrs Eddy. The paper will be
called THE Monitor It's aim is to give She
Christian Scientists and others who may be in
terestel the news of the world in clean, whole
some manner Vice and crime will not be illus
trated and in fact such news will occupy minor
place in the field of the paper
The experiment will be watched with much in
terest, not only by the Christian Scientists, but
by newspaper workers and readers generally. 1t
is more than probable that the venture will be
successful as the loyalty of the Christian Scien-
fists to their faith will cause liberal support of the
paper And if "The Monitor" can demonstrate
that the general reading public does not want
Sensational news. it will have accomplished
considerable service both to tlts public and to the
makers OF newspapers.

CHESTER STRIKE is OFF

It HE strike of the Chester trolley men has
A been declared off. much to the relief of all
concerned The strike had practically ended some
time ago and the action of the representatives OF
the Garments union on Monday merely a con-
frmation of the actual situation.
The Chester strike was of the most re-
markabe in the history of the country. Probably
no strike similar to that which Chester expert
enced has ever occurred. The men quit work last
April They were supported by practically
unanimous public opinion The cars were boy
cotted, public opinion was firmly against the
company, and yet with everything seemingly IN
their favor the men have failed to win
The managers of the company early announced
that under no circumstances would they give in
TO the men, and they have maintained that posi-
ton at what must have been tremendous financial
loss to them. Their only satisfaction is that they
have been able to dictate what shall be done with
their own property.
The dispute was peculiar in that it affected 10
a greater or lesser extent every inhabtant OF
Chester Had the strike occurred in some indus
trial establishment. its effects would not have
been so far reaching. The ordinary citizen would
rot have been concerned, except sentimentally
The loss in money caused by the Chester strike
cannot be estimated. The men, of course, lost
ire merchants lost and the company has made
many sacrifices.
And all this damage. il seems TO us, has been
brought about merely because no proper safe
guards were put around the granting of fran
chscs to a public service corporation Such cor
porations should not be treated as ordinary bus-
ness concerns. Their status is different Their
relations to the public are closer. They use the
publics property on what is practically lease,
the lease taking the form of a franchise And the
franchise is a monopoly in that no competing
company could parallel the tracks OF the COM
pany that first secured the franchise.
But in ordinary business a man may erect
a factory in a city and dozen other persons may
erect similar factories near him. far as the pub
lie is concerned. That is the difference between
the monopoly feature of a public service corpora
ton and a regular industry. In that difference, IT
seems to us lies the reason for extreme care IN
the granting of franchises. Therefore when such
franchises are granted the city authorities should
exercise some right Of supervision, not to make
the operation of the public service corporations
under such franchises burdensome, or to impair
their effectiveness, or to make 1t impossible Tor
public service corporations to reap fair profit
on their investment; but merely as a safeguard
for emergencies as they arise.
Had the city OF Chester granted franchises
with safeguards, when the dispute arose it could
have been adjusted without the great loss OF
money on the part of all concerned.

IF this city, the Rose Land company

tolds a franchise for the supply of ar

past
Many difficulties were encountered
Sunday the siX-inch drill ran into a
soft formation at 1850 feet and the
water spouted up through the 12-inch
bore on the surface. The flow is steady
and strong. Owing. to the different
sizes of the holes at the bottom and
ON the surface, the water does not gush
into the air.
The temperature of the water is sc

gan of she company visited the plant

There is no doubt but that the drill has
struck genuine artesian water sup
ply. Drilling was resumed this morning
in order to reach what is known as the
@econd and third flows. The strike
means a good supply of water for the
city.

STEEL BRIDGES
WITHSTAND FLOODS
u MATlLLA COUNTY SOLVES
PROBLEM IN DEFYiNG HIGH
WATER IN STREAMS.

| PENDIEION, ore, March 20
Umatilla county has expended $4,000
on roads and bridges during the past
year, and the wisdom Of the action has
been fully shown in the recent floods
which extended over the entire country
Not bridge of any size was removed
by the high waters and but slight dam
age was done to any of the % struc-
lures which span a half dozen water
courses. Two years ago the entire
county was ravaged terribly by floods,
which reached the extremely high
water mark June l. Practically every
bridge in the county was destroyed, and
! for weeks the roads We're impossible.
not modern, many were low and others
too short to span properly the current
which was expected to be in evidence
at the spring season. The loss to the
county was heavy at the time. but it
has proven the best thing that could
have happened.
The severity of the flood is shown in
the fact that for two weeks not train
lcould get in or out of Pendleton. and
lit is said that the damage to the rail-
road companies amounted to $250,OOO
In some places the currents of streams
were changed entirely. and great bould-
ers are still to be seen where they were
rolled by the force of the torrent-en-
tirely outside the banks of streams
Fifteen Steel Bridges.
Since the flood Is steel bridges have
been built in Umatilla county. They
have replaced the cheap structure made
of wood, and have been placed high
work out it's wrath without doing any
possible damage. In the last few
months $13,55O has been paid out on
bridge contracts.
A year ago a flood did more damage
to the roads of the county than had
lever been done in a single year. but
bridges escaped-because SO few were
to be found. Great changes in roads re-
suited, in many places the channels of
streams being changed entirely, neces-
stating the laying out and opening OF
new stretches of roads along creeks,
and wherever the rush of the water ha 4
a chance to wash away the soil. Much
of the land is of gravel formation, and
lit washes steadily when the spring
freshets occur.
Umatilla county has 300 miles of
public roads, some of the lines being
in mountainous districts, where
streams are numerous. Much of this
immense roadway is hard to keep up.
and bridges have always been a con-
slant source of annoyaIle and expense.
| It must not be forgotten, either, that
the Umatilla Indian reservation is 10
Gated in this county, where no roads.
mot even COW paths. are allowed, and
the Indian indicate clearly just where
the .improvised roads shall be located.
No road work can be done on the reser-
walton. which reduces greatly the cost
of maintaining roads and bridges III
the county. Bridges and cu1verrs arc
built by the men who rent the land
from the Indians, without outside help.
