Jubilee Sisters of St. Francis

Lafayette, Ind, Dec. pa no.
table three days celebration of the
golden jubilee of the Sisters of ST.
Francis began today at ST. Elizabeth
Hospital in this city, which is the
mother home of the order in Amer
lea. The ceremonies opened this
morning with pontificial high mass,
at which Bishop Alerding of Fort
Wayne officiated. Noted priests and
prelates of the Roman Catholic
church and many members of the
order from various parts of the
country were in attendance.
The Sisters OF st. Francis were
organized in Westphalia. Germany.
December 20, 1860. During the
Franco-Prussian war the sisters
were of great service to the wound
ed soldiers and received gold med
ais for bravery from the German
government. Later they were per-
secuted on account of religious diff
ferences in Germany, and the late
Bishop Joseph Dwenger, of Fl.
Wayne, who was passing through
Germany on his way home from
Rome, called at Olpe, Westphalia,
and invited the mother superior to
send sisters to America.
Six young women arrived in La
fayette in 1875 and founded the St.
Elizabeth Hospital, which became
the headquarters of the order in
America. Since then the order has
grown to membership of about one
thousand, and has thirty-five schools
and twenty hospitals scattered over
the United States and Canada.

Water Commissioner Sub,
mitted Report of Work
During Past Year.

Water Commissioner Pat Sher-
burne last night submitted to the
mayor and the city council report
of the work done during the past
year. The report in brief was as fol-
lows:
THE years work began early in
January when so many service pipes
were frozen. Over one months time
was spent in the work uf thawing
these pipes. However, during the
year. more than S. 800 feet of water
mains and 100 feet OF service pipes
have been lowered below the frost
line to prevent a recurrence of this
trouble. d larg part OF which was
caused by changes in street grades.
This work COST more for labor
than would the laying of new mains,
because Of the necessity OF n mLcn
WIDER trench. IN addition 10 this
nearly every service pipe that has
frozen up in the last two years has
been put in safe place for the flu
ture, amounting in all to TOO feet.
THE entire water system on Mis-
sion street, from kittitas street to
First street. had to be made over,
partly on account OF the change in
the street grade and partly on &C
count of the old, leaking, three-inch
main that supplied wtaCr to 1t.
During the year 1910, 11,O5O
feet of new water mains were laid

of the dead fire hydrants in that dis
trict. The old main has already
shown several signs of weakness,
notably a break in the wiring and
an increased number of leaks. Be-
sides it is unfit for fire service.
THE distributing system is more
nearly up to the needs of the city
at the present time than it has been
for number of years, and with the
few improvements l have suggested
the entire water system ought to be
good for several years to come.

POOR OLD CHICAGO

Chicago high school team, which is
to play Wenatchee here, just about
Grabbed the whole deal yesterday
until Wenatchee put up bold front
and declined to stand for any hold
up game.
After Chicago had agreed on the
terms, $500 guarantee, which
would more than pay expenses, and
signed up to come to Seattle for the
game, they got the idea that perhaps
the wild westerners had more cash
than they needed and sent a hurryup
telegram demanding that the rail-
road fare be paid and that a comfort
able percentage of the gate receipts
be turned over in addition to the
guarantee. Wenatchee politely told
Chicago to go chase herself, and for
a time it looked as if the deal were
off. Tom Mcdonald stopped hur-
rying around town looking up avail
able victims for tickets and until he
got telegram last night saying that
everything was fixed was prepared
TO call the game and issue rain
checks.
Chicago, however, was gently led
to see the error of her ways and
gave up the idea of any unearned
increment.
The heard-headed Wenatchee bust
ness men couldn't see their way clear
toward helping Chicago come west
and make money enough to pay the
bacon bill for a year to come and
took the right stand in the matter.

One-inch pipes, serving from two
to six families, were laid principally
among rocks where work of laying
mains would be much more expens-
i've. There were 4,275 feet of such
pipes laid during the year. These
pipes supply water to 80 families
that could not otherwise be reached
without enormous expense, and in
time VIII supply many more before
any other extensions will be neces-
sary. Twenty new customers were
served i'll this way during the ten
days from December and December

was laid in 1899 required 1920
feet of trench, much Of which was

Must Have Another Pump.

We have had enough water from
our sources of supply during the
year, but many people who were
| forced to use water from the high
| line ditch through the upper system
were disappointed because of the I'M
sanitary quality Of this water Many
of them had been given to under
stand that they were to be supplied
with water by means of the relay
the supply from the Squillchuck was
cut off by the irrigators who had a
prior right to it. The fact was early
shown, however, that the pumping
plant at the river was not capable
of supplying more than enough wa
| ter for use in the lower system, even
when running at its full capacity.
| If the weather had been as hot and
| dry as we have seen it at times with
in the last five years, and as it will
certainly be again within the next
few years, restrictions on the use of
water would have been necessary as
in the past.
Il would, therefore, at this time
earnestly recommend that another
pump of equal capacity with the one
stalled so as to double the supply
at that point before another warm
season comes around. The intake
and the outlet are already in place
so that very little expense beyond
the purchase ana installation of such
a pump would be necessary.
Water should by all means be
pumped into the upper system at the
relay station instead of being sup
piled from the ditch. We cannot al
ways expect to escape an epidemic
of typhoid from such a source. Be-
sides the increase in the number of
consumers necessitates larger sup
ply from the river.
From Supply From Squillchuck.
Just at present we are getting
Squillchuck, and the pumps are not
running. With the discontinuance
of the electric plant on the creek
we are not getting the benefit of the
power flume which formerly carried
the water around the ranches that
menace the purity of the stream, but
are taking water direct from the
creek below several of these ranches.
That the city should extend it's pipe
line far enough up the creek to get
it's water from point above these
ranches there is no question. People
may say what they please about
using the water from this creek, but
it will be used for many winters to
come. In the winter especially, it
is the best available supply. Being
abundant for city several times the
present size of Wenatchee. and cost
ing practically nothing for mainten-
ance for four or five months each
year. During several years past we
have used water from the creek from
eight to nine months each year.

ERRORS
Neutrality-suspicious., Holm and
Brooks; Tacoma, Gaddy and

Well, that game between the Tig
ers and the Indians yesterday was
a comedy of errors. Tacoma accum-
ulated more errors than hits, as will
be shown by glance at the "R. ii.
T." columns and the Indians were
playing far from their customary
form. Gaddy had something on the
pill when he first started, but soon
lost it, when Flood, Weed, Keener,
Nordyke and Cartwright began to
fall heavily on his offerings, ham
mering them to about every point of
the compass.
On the other hand. It was not Vic
Holm's fault that the home team
didn't lose the game. Those Bengals
landed on him freely in the first few
innings, before a hit was registered
in their favor. but exceptionally
lucky and alert fielding preserved
poor old Wick" for something bet
ter than a drubbing. lansing and
Coleman took successive doubles off
of him in the sixth and Gaddy came
up for his second hit Of the game,
which, together with Byrnes' re-
ccipt OF a pass. accounts for the two
scores in that inning.
The favors were about equally
divided between Holm and Gaddy.
for while Vic allowed Gaddy to hit
him twice and struck him out once,
Gaddy CONSIDERABLY bequeathed
his bland opponent with a pair of
passes and induced him to hammer

he cuts short the preliminary mo-
