Speaking of the report today

some of Peary's statements too
fierce. In such event the explorer
will be asked to modify his Ian
guage, but as far as facts go moth
ing will be done to detract from
it's force. and nothing added to It,.
The report will be just as much

TAFT WAS
NOT JOKING
ABOUT It
REALLY COMPLAINED ABOUT
TOO MANY SPEECHES
IN SPOKANE.
BY ROBERT n. HAZARD.
(By United Press.)

NORTH YAKIMA, Sept. 90
After the presidential train arrived
this morning orders were sent
ahead on the presidential itinerary
to cut all programs to the bone.
President Taft's patience has be-
come exhausted over the cheeky
manner in which local committees
in various cities he visited have en-
larged his labors by adding
speeches and hand shaking pro-
grams and long auto rides to pro-
grams.
At Spokane yesterday he voiced
a protest at both luncheon and din
ner because he was called upon TO
speak, after being assured that he
would not be expected to say any
thing. He said: This is a prom
Use l have always exacted, which
has always been given, and is al
ways violated"
Later at dinner he voiced disap.
prevail with arrangements that
forced him to talk after a long day
of talk. The guests at the banquet
thought the president joking, and
chuckled with joy, but no jest was
intended.
In addition to these orders. the
president has directed that meals
served in his honor be made as
simple as possible. AL mysterious
foreign dishes are to be Eliminated
and dishes made digestible. Indi-
gestion is the bugbear that tpe
president fears. If his digestive
apparatus gives out, Taft knows
1t will mean the end of his trip.

TO DOUBLE:
PUMPING
CAPACITY

PLETE PUMPING SYSTEM
IN COUNTRY. &

The pumping capacity of the
Spokane water system win almost
be doubled when the pumps called
for In plans just, prepared by Water
Commissioner .aleuterdahl are in.
stalled at the upriver pumping
station.
1t has been said by laymen not
conversant with engineering mat
'ters that they way to get more
water Is to pump more, and to
pump more means the addition OF
more machinery, as every pump in
the present plant was worked to it,
utmost last summer.
Having disposed of the problems
involved in the storage of water az
represented by the four new stand
pipes and the new reservoir, Com
missioner Reuterdahl turned his at
tention to the matter Of getting
pumps to I'LL these receptacles.
The result Of his efforts is the
preparation of one Of the most COM
plete pumping plants of It's ca
pacity to be found In the country
Three new pumps will be installed
and room left for a fourth in the
new building or addition to be
erected at the upriver pumping sta
tion.. The pumps will be Of the turs
bine multtphase centrifugal VAR
ETY., now being installed in tho
most modern pumping plants. The
pumps are directly connected within
electric motors, no belts or shaft
ing OF any kind being employed.
One Of the pumps will be connected
with the city's water power, which
is deemed ample to operate some
of the new pumps In addition to all
of the old ones.
The present capacity of the mp
river pumping station on the low
pressure, such az supplies the
downtown district and all OF the
city between the north and south
hills, is 34,500.000 gallons In "a
hours. Only four of the Is pumps
at present employed con work on
high pressure, pumping to the high
lands, and their capacity 10 10000
900 gallons daily.
The new pumps are constructed
SO that they can work ON either the
high or low pressure. Their ca
pacity in "a hours on the low press.
ure Is 28.e00.000 gallons, and on
the high pressure 1850. 900 gar
