EQUIPMENT
FOR MINERS
ENGLAND PLANNING TO ESTAB-
'LISH RESCUE STATIONS AND
CORPS FOR PROTECTION OF
UNDERGROUND WORKERS, All
TER PLANS ADOPTED BY UNIT
ED STATES.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Owners of
coal mines in England are consider
ing life-saving plans similar to those
that will be carried out by the newly
created bureau of mines in this coun-
try. The scheme, Consul Walter c.
Hamm, at Hull reports, is to estau-
lish rescue stations near groups of
mines.
1t is proposed in the Durham field
to establish a station for the hous-
ing of motors equipped with pumps
powerful as those of the largest en-
gines in city fire department service,
breathing helmets and other appar-
atus and quarters for six or eight
highly trained men. A liquid air
plant will also be erected. Direct
telephone connection will be ar
ranged with all the mines in Durham
County, the most distant could be
reached in an hour.
One method is to make use of a
head dress, to be supplied with
fresh air by means of bellows,
through 60 yards of armored tubing,
and fitted with telephones. 1t is
thought that in most cases 60 yards
will be sufficient, and it is proposed
that each colliery should be equipped
with one or more of these. To cope
with cases where longer distance
than 60 yards from respirable air
might have to be dealt with, the use
of "aerolith" helmets is proposed
supplied with air in a liquid form.
There are no valves or complicated
parts to get out of order and they
can be used without any special
training A supply of these would
always be kept ready for use at the
central station.

| factorily to all concerned. The
Philippines were favored with postal
banks in advance of the states be-
cause they were not obliged to
await action by Congress. When the
president become convinced a few
years ago that postal savings would
be a good thing for the Filipinos he
ordered the system established and
it was done. Congress postponed ae-
tion for years and it was not until
the closing hours of the last session
that a postal savings law was
passed.
The popularity of the law has
been proved by the great number of
letters from people asking that pos
tai banks be established in their
towns and from bankers asking that
a part of the deposit funds be placed
with them. The trustees of the sys-
TEN, Secretary Franklin MacVeagh,
of the treasury; Postmaster General
Frank H. Hitchcock and Attorney
General Wickersham, have full au-
thority to decide where and when
postal banks shall be established.
They have decided upon nothing yet
except that the postoffice in this city
shall be one to receive deposits in
order that there may be a demon
stration of the system under the eyes
of Congress.
A committee of experts appointed
by the trustees are working out the
details of the system, which are
many, and it is probable matters will
be in such shape that the trustees
can take definite action in the fall.

CITY SHOULD PURCHASE THE WATER
PLANT AT ALL HAZARDS LACHMUND
GRAFT FIGHTING MEMBER COUNCIL SAYS HE is UN
QUALIFIEDIh IN FAVOR OWNERSHIP WATER sYs
TENI-PIENTK OF TIME TO DECIDE LATER

"By all means and at all hazards
the city should purchase and operate
thu city water plant" said Alderman
Louis Lachmund, when discussing
the proposition of the city purchase
of the plant of the Salem Water
company this morning Mr.. Lach-
mund, a fearless fighter and relent-
less worker for what he believes is
right for the best and most good IF
the interests he represents in the
city council, the man who has to
pay the freight" and is not a bit
backward in saying just what he
thinks, as is wcll known by all who
have attended the sessions of the
council and listened to sessions Of
the council and listened to the pro-
ceedings, spoke farvently and earn
estly upon this subject.
"My position has been and always
will be that the city should own its
own water plant, and, with the i'm
provements under contemplation,
there is no doubt in my mind that
eventually the cost of the water sup
ply to the city and consumers will be
materially reduced, Furthermore,
the sooner the city comes into owner
ship and control of its water system
the sooner we will have a pure sup
ply of water and the sooner will the
consumer and taxpayer, especially,
get the benefit.
81 am, however, personally OPP
posed to the installation of a noun
tain water supply at this time for
several reasons, the principal one of
which is that the enormous expense
involved in the construction of such
a system would, in my opinion, place
too heavy a burden upon the tax
payers of the city. Such a system
would also entail great expense up
on the city in maintaining a patrol
of inspectors over the vast area of
land comprising the watershed of
the source of such water supply to
insure against probable contamina-
tion of the water, and we would havej

POSTAL SAVINGS ESTABLISHED IN
PHILIPPINES MANY YEARS AGO
SYSTEM INAUGURATED TAFT, CONGRESSIONAL
AUTHORITY NOT BEING NECESSARY, SUCCESS
FUL AND PROVEN ITSELF POPULAR WITH

Washington, d. c., Aug. 6-While
Americans are wondering when
where and how the postal savings
system is to be established the un-
tHtored native may wave his pass
book and remark that in the Philip
pines the postal savings bank is an
old thing. Whether beads and clam
shells and brass rods are received
as deposits is not mentioned but the
main fact is that the wards in the
far Pacific have a privilege not yet
accorded to their guardians.
A recent report received at the
Treasury department shows that
there are in the islands 2SO post
offices at which deposits are re-
ceived. There were 1881 deposi-
tors and the amount of money they
had placed in the care of the gov
ernment was 1,621,275 pesos or
Philippine dollars, worth so cents IN
United States money. The govern
ment in using the money IS proJec--
ed by the guarantees of banks with
which part of the postal funds have
been deposited. Investments have
also been made by the government
officials, in charge of the postal
banks, in Manila city bonds and rail-
road bonds and in first mortgages.
Among the depositors are 3,542
Americans, 400 Filipinos, 398
Europeans and 264 Asiatics. The
rate of interest on deposits is two
and a half per cent but the govern
ment reserves the right to change
the rate at the end of any year.

what Salem needs is business

bad as anything else can now

when property owners in the busi-
ness section evince enough conf
dence and interest in the city 20

That was the statement made to
a representative of The Capital
Journal by one of Salem's most
prominent citizens today; a man who
ranks at the head of his profession,
who has ever since his boyhood
days watched the city grow and
prosper, and who has contributed
his share towards it's prosperity,
progress and welfare. and here is
the reason he advanced in support
of his assertion.
His Story and Experience.
"A gentleman came to my office
yesterday. he continued. II do

tion from Olds & King Of Portland,

no assurance, otherwise that tho
water we consumed was not heavily
and dangerously polluted with colon
bacilli.
During the discussion of this
matter in the city council, and It
has occurred quite frequently and at
great length of detail, and in which
/ took an active part, l strongly
recommended that the city, after
the purchase of the water plant
should change the intake to a point
about a mile and a half, or two or
three miles further up the william
cite river, thereby getting away
from any possible contamination
from sewage or other causes of
pollution. 1 would advise that a
triple filtration system be installed
at the point of intake, which in my
belief, would insure an absolutely
pure quality and abundant supply of
water.
"Such a system could be installed
very readily and at nominal cost,
as compared with a mountain sup
ply and 1 do not believe it advisable
or expedient to place a burden. of
several millions of dollars upon the
necks of the taxpayers of Salem,
particularly when there is no neces-
sity of doing so. But the main OBJ
ject and the most important of all is
SUES at the present time is, by all
means, buy the present water system
outright and without any further
delay and the rest can be threshed
out at later date. There is plenty
of time for that. Certainly, 1 am
unequivocally in favor of the pur-
chase of the water plant by the city"
Mr.. Lachmund is we'll known for
his conservative and outspoken poll
cies in all matters of business. both
public and private, and he has std-
died the water question from all
points of view, both as a taxpayer
and member of the city council
with the best interests Of the city
and those who bear the burdens
thereof at heart.
