Feature of Hawaiian Exhibit
at A.-Y.-P. Exposition.
Secretary of Interior BaIIinser Told
National Conservation Congress
that Day of Conversion of Nat
urai Resources to Personal Uses
Has Gone.

Seattle, Sept. Sin making the mOv-
Ing picture film showing the volcano of
kIlauea in action, the artist, Bonine,
encountered many difficulties. In the
territorial exhibit OF Hawaii shown at
the exposition the big scenic feature of
the Hawaiian Islands was necessarily
included. The noted moving picture
artist was engaged by the government
TO secure set OF films showing the vol
cano just as it appeared in action. In
doing this Mr.. Bonine had many Difficult
ties to overcome. The heat near the
crater is always intense, and when the
lava is flowing freely close approach is
nearly impossible. In making the ex-
posures the camera could not be kept in
position for longer time than one-half
minute. The heat would destroy the
plate or film and render it useless. The
artist envelOped himself in covering OF
asbestos and the camera was protected
by the same material. By doing this,
and by making only these very short
exposures, MIR. Bonine by his great pa
thence secured a wonderful set OF pictures,
absolutelo correct in every detail. In
looking at them as they are run through
the moving picture machine in the Ha
waiian building, the reproduction OF
kllauea in action is seen perfectly and
beautifully. From the bottom Of the
crater the great streams of molten lava
are seen, rushing and surging about the
huge cauldron in which the Goddess Pele
makes her home; the steam and sui
phurous smoke blows and drifts n clouds
and one looks on the greatest demon
stratiOn nature can present The pic
ture requires 20 minutes in presenting.

A model OF the old Mayfower has been

PROPOSE To METER
CITY WATER SYSTEM
That Is Councils Plan to Stop
Water Waste.
Unable to Finance the Job, the City
Asks Consumers to Install the
Meters and Pay in Instaliments
Citizens Invited to Discuss.

Monday nights session Of the city
sion of the proposal to meter the entire
city water system, the matter being re-
ferred to the water committee to investi-
gate and report at the next regular
meeting September 90 1t has been
satisfactorily demonstrated to all who
have investigated that the supply is
more than ample for the number Of
people here cOngregated if the water is
conserved and properly used-in other
words, not wasted. That it is wasted is
the Inevitable conclusion, because under
normal conditions and reasonable and
proper use there is an adj dtquate supply
for all purposes. Whether the water is
wlfully wasted or is depleted through
carelessneFs or oversight cannot be de
tprmined, but the fact remains that there
is prOdigality somewhere or somehow.
To correct this, whatever or wherever it
il, it is proposed to meter the system, so
that each consumer will pay equitably,
OE HttOTulnE W buHb VI WdipI IStu-
To install the meters would involve
more Of an outlay than the city is at
present able to meet, because 70 per cent
Of the water receipts must be applied on
the deDt contracted when the system was
put in, and the remainder Of the revenue
is required for operating expenses.
Therefore it il asked that the water users
come to the relief Of the city by putting
ia the meters and paying for them ID the
form of rental at the rate Of % cents a
month for a period OF about three
years, hich would not he burden
some upon any one. Under this plan
the water rates would not be raised, but
the system would derive more revenue
with less expenditure and be made more
effective,

each, can be secured from an eas ern
manufacturing concern on the above
plan OF payment. The cost OF installing
would bring the total expense to about
SO.
It. il explained by the mayor and mem
bers of the council that it ia not a money
making scheme on the part Of the city,
but is the only feasible plan evolved to
secure certain reforms for the benefit Of
the system and the citizens. The council
desires full and free discussion OF the sub
Ject and invites citizens to meet with it
for that purpose. The next meeting of
the council will be held Monday eveuing,
September 20, when the water committee

party will be dressed in the old Pilgrim
costumes and will present quaint ap-
pearance az they land from their shin.
They will be met by party OF Indians,
who will be secured from one OF the at

occasion, and pow WOW will ensue,
which will end in the smoking of the pipe

Almost every state in the Union and
every province in Canada will be repre-

junction with the exposition live stock
show from September y to October 8.
Washingtons member OF President
rats cabinet, Richard A. Ballinger,
secretary of the interior department,
made himself strong with the recent Ma
tional Conservation Congress when he
said: "One thing | do wish to impress
upon this assembly, and that is that the
day has gone when our vast natural re-
sources can be converted to personal
uses. | say this as a representative OF
this government. This administration
desires to and will conserve our resour-
ces." With this straightforward dec
laration Secretary Ballinger shattered
the controversy which hostile newspapers
have been trying to rib up between him
and Chief Forester Pinchot. John Bar
rett, who presides over the International
Bureau OF American Republics, in refer
ring to the episode, told the conserva-
tionists that it was fortunate thing
that there was a difference OF opinion
among the heads of departments, for
it precluded stagnation and insured the
attainment Of the best possible results
for all.
The first move in a war declared upon
all northwestern railroads by James j.
Hills lines will result in reducing the
time for carrying the mails between Chi
cagO and Seattle ten hours. PROPOSE
tiOn to this effect has been made to the
train is to leave Chicago daily at 1:50
a. m. and the schedule calls for it's ar
rival in Seattle at noon on the third day.
More than year ago all western roads
entered an agreement to lengthen sched-
ules to the Pacific coast. The Hill lines
are ready to repudiate this understand
ing for the benefit of better mail service.
The triumphant march of local option
received it's first back in Washing
ton at BOthell, small town at the head
of Lake Washington, near Seattle. Ad-
vOcates of the licensed saloon won by
margin OF three votes in the recent cleo
tion and the saloonkeepers celebrated
their victory by dispensing free beer.
This makes the score to date four to one
in favor of no license, four communities
having voted dry. The next election
will be held in Colville, where a merry
warfare is being waged between the vets
and drys.

STATE Is SHUT OUT.
Land Commissioner Protests In
terror Department Policy.

State Land Commissioner f. W. Ross
has made a vigorous protest to the sec
Tetary OF the interior regarding the regu
lations OF the federal department affect
ing certain lands which have been re
stored to entry in the North Yakima land
district, Washington, part OF the C-ly
territory which came to Uncle Sam by
occupation and discovery, all the rest
resulting from war or purchase. Mr..
Ross states that be thinks the state Of
Washington received little worse treat
ment than any other state that came
into the Union so far as public lands
were concerned. Washington was al
lowed by the government sections l6
and 36 in every township for school pur
poses by the enabling act Of congress,
but it was provided that this could not
be obtained if at the time the surveys
were approved actual settlers were on
the land, and the state was given 60
days in which to locate lieu land
But in opening for settlement the land
in the North Yakima district and re-
storing it for emery, it is provided that
squatters may locate on the land thirty
days before the date of entry, hence the
state is barred from acquiring any of
the land as the squatters will be there
thirty days before the state has chance.
Mr. Ross hopes that the government
will pay some attention to his protest
as it means much to the state, the school
funds being Interested to the amount of
probably million dollars.
