MORE ADVICE
ON FOUNTAIN
Gitizsn Says One of Case
line Would be Better.

Another communication relative
to the public drinking fountain move
ment In Tottenville has been receiv-
ed at the office Of the EVENING
NEWS, signed An Interested Citizen.
Since publishing the first article on
| this subject considerable comment
has been heard on all sides In regard
to 1t. The following is the letter:
/ ~Tottenville, April 18th, 1911.
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
/ I have read ANTI Fount's" letter
| relating to the new movement now
| on foot by the Philemon Literary and
Historical Society of T~ottenYille, to
build a watering trough for horses,
dogs, cats and birds to drink from,
and, of course, for small boys to
play in.
There Is absolutely no local need
for a horse trough in ~Tottenville, and
furthermore, there is no place to put
It. We can scarcely muster twenty
| five horses outside of the Fire De-
/ partment. Then, 1t would seem that
all this extra effort, food sales, con-
| certs, card parties, soap orders and
| what not, Is for the Siegle-Macy Co.
and other New York delivery horses,
which, perhaps, will be supplanted
| by gasoline engines within a year.
/ Before taking a vote to spend so
large a sum of money, why didn't
the ladies Lay the matter on the
table" until they could have con-
suited their big brothers or mere
husbands? Something might have
been suggested whereby the 5000
residents Of u town would be ben
| Gifted, instead of a few horses, unli-
censed dogs and stray cats. Any
business man could have told this
club of the passing of the horse
Of the business failures in the har-
ness trade, how carriage makers
have been forced to shut up shop or
compelled to start in the manufactur-
Ing of automobiles, Of breeders now
turning their attention to COWS and
hens; yet, in the face of these condi-
lions and when the horse 1s surely
destined to be supplanted by the au-
! tomobile, they propose to erect this
useless thing.
| would certainly agree with the
Chairman of the Sub Committee in
thinking Anti Found an inhuman
person, If there were any dumb ami
mails to be considered; but, where
are they? Horses are few, the H.
censed dogs can drink at home, the
unlicensed one are not allowed at
large, they belong to the dog catch
err, anyhow; cats don't like to wet
their feet which they would have to
do at a public fountain. A few Eng
fish sparrows might be disappoint-
| ed and have to continue dI< wins
so~what's the use?
If the Philemon Club, with this
bee in its bonnet, must build a foun-
tain, why not make 1t a gasoline
fountain and benefit the people. Here
Is a public benefit and a lasting trib-
uet to the Club.
Only a few Manhattan and Perth
Amboy delivery horses would use
the watering trough while thou
sands Of visiting motorists would ap-
prectate a gasoline fountain.
1 have heard that many OF the
members Of the club are not highly
enthusiastic over the project. Why
not ask for a few suggestions out
side? / should like to make one.

OPALS ON THE DESER

Remarkable opal discoveries
have lately been made in the
Death Valley country and F. NJ.
Myrick, an old miner Of the
desert, in company with two young
prospectors from Los Angeles, has
recently found opsls which
promise to start a rush into the
country this fall, according to
information which has been
received here.
The rocks which Myrick and his
companions have found are fire
opals or white and red with the
white transparent.
1t appears that Myrick's long
nunt on the desert is TO be re-
warded. For years he has pros
perted through the dead hills in
vain for any dirt AID had about
decided to come to Bakersfield
when he made the strike Of the
desert. Bakersfield men are
interested in Myrick's Claims
Californian.
