UP STOCKINGS FOR SANTA
Hosiery VIII Be Suspended Over Big
Fireplace in White House for
the Seventh and Last
Time

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The Roose-
Welt stockings this year for the seventh
and last time will be hung before the
big fireplace in the White House for
generous Santa Claus to fill.
No doubt some of the things which
find their way into those stockings will
later find their way into the lonesome
wilds of Africa-perhaps a handy bowie
knife for the president and jungle

turesque country place in the Blue
hills of Virginia, usually either the
Thanksgiving day or Christmas capitol,
did not hold forth sufficient attractions
this time to draw the president and his
family away from the White House.
They may go there, however, for a
few days during the new years week.
1t is said this now famous rural re-
treat will be retained after the presi-
dent leaves the White House.

I systems and similar institutions. Inc
lasting qualities of wooden pipe have
been fully demonstrated in various
cities of the United States, as well
as in Tacoma.
In Victoria, B. c., in 1901, the water
works system of the city was extern
sively repaired and remodelled and
the wooden mains and pipes were
taken up and replaced. The only cause
for this was that the city had out
grown the capacity of the mains,
which had been laid in 1862, and were
found to be in practically as good con-
dition as when the water was first
turned into them, thirty nine years
previously. At Walla Walla wooden
pipe water mains have been taken
out of the ground after thirty-flve
years of use and found to be in per-
feet condition. Denver, Col, has
nearly 100 miles of wooden stave pipe
in use. All water brought to that
city for domestic purposes passes
through wooden pipe.
One system of wooden pipe was in
service in Boston, Mass, from 1852 to
1896 and was then replaced by an
other which lasted until 1848. Boxed
pine logs, used for watermains at
Portsmouth, N H., from 1897 to 1896,
when removed on account of the de-
mand for larger mains, were found to
be entirely sound. At Burlington, N.
J.. the first water works were built
in 1904, wooden pipe purchased from
Philadelphia, where it had been IN
use for many years and removed to
put in larger mains, being secured by
the city. 1t was not until 1887 that 1T
was necessary to remove this pipe and
then only on account of the city re-
curing larger works and mains. Over
in London wooden water pipes were
dug up quite recently which had been
in the ground two centuries and were
found to be still excellently preserved.
In one instance two mains were con-
nected by castiron bands.

A GREAT FACTORY
The Largest and Most Up-to'Date
Manufacturing Plant OF Its
Character in Entire
World

History may not record the exact
date that wooden pipes were first used
as conduits for water. But few peo-
ple who drink of the clear, cold liz
uid which has been carried for miles
and miles through this kind OF a
trunk line care whether the system
is as old as history or is one or the
most recent inventions. However, Ia
coma has one industry among the
many of which she may be proud,
which stands by itself and is pio-
neer in it's line on the Pacific Coast,
the Washington Pipe & Foundry Com
pany, located at 1912 to 1920 Center
street. and 1901 to 3019 Asotin street.
The business of this company is
the manufacture of machine-banded,
wooden stave pressure and conduit
pipe for water works systems, do
nestle water supply, power plants, hre
protection for cities, dredge work, n.y.
draulic mining, saltwater mines and
similar projects, as well as making
insulated wire conduits, stave pipe for
mines, wooden tanks and towers for
all purposes, and similar pipe cast
ings. Besides this the company
maintains foundry, the object OF
which is the manufacture of iron con-
nections, valves, hydrants and similar
fittings and castiron specialties.
Wooden pipe has been used In one
form or another for centuries, and the
durable qualities of it, when saturated
with water, have been demonstrated
by examples without number. No ma
terial used in the manufacture of pipe
can be cleaner when used as a water
conveyor.
