Cemen: Sewer Pipe.

City Engineer Loehr has in his Of
flee two leng: his of sewer pipe made Of
cement. The size of the pipe is eight
inches in the clear and joints of two
feet. They are made of one part ce-
ment and three parts sand. Engineer
Loehr designed the moulds and made
the specimens, while no estimate can
be made of the labor, yet an accurate
account can be given of the cost Of
material. According to the engineer,
ten cents per foot was the cost of ma
teria put in the two joints he has in
his office.
The city engineer is a great believer
in cement as a material of durable
qualities. AS a comparison, the same
size pipe in vitrified clay costs the

ethics in an endeavor to hit upon the
best procedure, for caring for the
host of transcients who are expected
to make their appearance in Walla
Walla during the coming summer anc
fall. In all probability the chief will
recommend the establishment OF
chain gang as the most effec i've means
of barring the "undesirables" from
the city.
Owing to the limited number of in
mates that the city Jail will accommo-
date. and to the further fact that
meals cost money with nothing in re-
turn, it is thought thai action VIII be

bled to the cow lot TO dig for the long,
slick and Shiny worms so necessary
to an ideal fishing jaunt.
Keep your think-tank focused on
the fact that it was all unannounced; ;
that the other half knew noting about
it, and 1 was fully expecting to be
back in time for breakfast with one
of the jolliest messes of the willy
speckled beauties that ever you cast
your looks upon. An old tomato can
that had been overlooked by the gar
bage man served for a conveyance to
the wriggling nuisances, and. light

leaving home But that was a mis-
take too late to be mended, and, like
Napoleon, smiled and puffed the
harder on the old corn-cob.

it was about II O'Clock when I reached

the little red devils playing Rugby

The Note of Sadness,

Once more the breezes whisper soft
That spring is on the way;
Once more the skies are blue alOft
And flowers are blossOming gay.
And yet a note of discord drear
Sweeps through the song sublime,
With fretted ear you seem to hear,
It's almost moving time!"
Once more the furniture will range
In an array so sad
Out on the sidewalk as we change

Since through it sounds the harsh re-

COLONEL JOHN I. MARTIN on
CHICAGO HARBOR.

Colonel John ]. Martin Of st. Louis.
vice president Of the Upper Mississippi
River Improvement Association, and
many times sergeant.at.arms OF the
National Democratic Convention, In an
address to the Mems League OF the
Sunday Evening Club at the States
Restaurant created great enthusiasm
and elicted much applause by declaring
that Chicago has q harbor that 10 a
disgrace to city Of 100000 people.
II freight steamers could now come
up the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers
and the drainage canal to the Chicago
River what facilities could Chicago
offer them for docking and unloading
their cargoes? You permit your river
TO remain INSTRUCTED by center pier
bridges and crooked dock lines, while
lake commerce passes you by and goes
to Milwaukee and South Chicago"
Colonel Martins speech was strong
plea for water way development In the
United States and for the lakes-to.the.
gulf deep water way In particular. He
asserted that Congress had been de-
relict In It's duty toward inland water
ways and urged that pledges to support
an adequate development policy be ex-
acted from candidates for the House
and Senate.
When Congress was first induced to
make land grants TO encourage western
railroad building the river.bOrne COM
merce at st. Louis was so great that
boats loaded and unloaded across each
Others bows at crowded levee six
teen miles long," he said.
THE grain of the entire Northwest
was carried on the Mississippi and its
tributaries to st. Louis and the gulf.
Then the railroads began to parallel
the Mississippi. Between places where
the boats called the railroads carried
freight more cheaply than the boats
could afford to carry 1t.
| Where there was no river competi.
ton, or wherever they succeeded IN
driving the boats out OF business, the
railroad put freight rates up high
enough to compensate for their losses
in undertaking the boats.
| "Far-sighted railroad men like
James J. Hill now admit that railroad
facilities are tagging behind the coun'
try's transportation needs, and have
declared In favor OF water way develop
ment. Millions are squandered by the
government on harbor improvements

would be better spent at Chicago, St.

GERMANY ALWAYS, PREPARING.

In Q lecture which he delivered In
New York Hudson Maxim equipped
the military arm OF the German gov.
eminent with 100 bomb-carrying
aeroplanes and gave them free entry
to the atmosphere above London. He
kept the feet operating from Berlin
Is base 6f bomb supplies for one
year. and upon what he considered
very liberal allowance figured out the
destruction Of $4,000 houses. As CO..
900 houses are erected In London ev.
cry year. he concluded that the air.
ship method OF reducing the city to
ruins was not very promising. Maxim
IL not an expert aeronaut, but he Is
exceptionally well informed as to the
use Of explosives. and should be q
good Judge as to the probable effect
Of handling them by the aeroplane
route. Theorists on the other side
would have some difhculty In combat.
ing his Views. In fact. their task !s
not easy even In popular discussion.
The requirements affecting the aero.
plane are that II shall be under per.
feet control at various elevations, that
the explosives may be not only safely
but effectively handled SO that they
may perform their deadly work, and
that there may be some guaranty OF
protection for the machines and their
occupants. In this experimental pc
riod the question Of adequate control

But that Is only the beginning Of the

fessional In another? Can q man re-

standing through competing with .
