1t, therefore, became a question of
reducing the area In the town to be
supplied with pure drinking water
and fire protection, thus giving fewer
tax layers the direct benefits of the
money coming from the bonds which
they voted and the interest ON which
they help to pay. If wrought or cast
iron pipe were installed i'm order to
save i'm annual depreciation and an
nual maintenance and repairs. On
account Of its very high cost, the con-
sideration of cast iron pipe was drop
ped. The Board therefore had to de-
eide between a more universal service
to the incorporated and tax paying
limits of the Town i'm the matter of
pure drinking water and fire protec-
ton for a. period ranging from 80 to
40 years at slightly greater annual
cost OR very marked reduction din
the area of this service with an ap-
preciable annual saving i'm maintenance

light, the decision was quickly made
that the present great necessity of pure
drinking water with it's resultani
| freedom from dreaded epidemics due
to polluted water and the almost en-
tire Lack of adequate fire protection
without which extensive building would
not be encouraged, demanded that as
great an area as possible should be
covered by the distribution piping.
In this way, too. a greater majority
OF the taxpayers would enjoy the ben

ever became town of considerable
size and Importance, which i'm my
opinion it is surely destined to become,
1T should be able within the next 30
on 40 year period to gradually re-
place its wood pipe system with
wrought iron or cast iron pipe, should
the necessity for that change arise.
The Board, therefore, decided that
the purchase of wood stave pipe was
he practical and justifiable solution
OF the problem and that this would
best meet and satisfy the existing
conditions and demands. The contract
was made with the Washington Pine
and Foundry Company of Tacoma.
for pipe, gates, hydrants, and special
castings, conditional upon the sale of
the bonds, for the sum of $9,247OO
which was covered i'm my original es-
Inmate by the sum of $9,2S5.5O. The
| pipe manufactured by this Company
is now In use in the following towns
In ldaho:-Caldwell, Emmett, Parma,
Nampa, Gooding, Shoshone, American
Falls, HALEY, Bellevue, Twin Falls,
Jerome, Miner, Meridian, and Boise.
In conclusion, 1t is my opinion tat
this extra heavy close wire wound
stave pipe, when properly laid under
experienced. supervision, will prove
highly satisfactory under all conds-
tons existing at Mountain Home.
For the first month or six weeks af-
ter 1T has been put under pressure,
leaks are to be expected; but after
that there is no reason why the an
nual maintenance and repair charges
should not be kept down to a low
figure.

Prosecutor Won't
 Act On Meriden Democrats Demands
Especial from United Press.1 )

Meriden. Oct. 5.-Replying to the demands of the Democratic town committee, City Attorney Thomas P Dunne, Republican, today, refused to order the arrest of First Moderator J. N. Lajoie and Lawyer A.B. Aubrey on charges of altering the election re- turns to insure Republican victory last Monday. Chairman Walsh of the Democrats and Mayor Thomas L. Reilly emphatically announced that they would carry their case to the court and ask the bench's opinion.
 The Democratic counters threw out ballots on which the name of George M. Lucas, the embezzler, had been scratched after a cross had been placed on the Republican circle. The Republican counters declared enough of these ballots legal to carry the day. The first ward, moderator, a Republican, is officially the leading counter and judge in cases of dispute.

GREAT TRIBUTE IN HONOR OF
 NATIONS HERO
Rear Admiral SchIey Laid at Rest With Most Imposing Funeral Services
Death Forces Government to Pay Highest Military Honors to Country's Veteran Sea Fighter
Especial from United Press,

Washington, Oct. 5The United States Navy Department, which fol years withheld it's approval of his con duct at Santiago, outdid itself toda, in an effort to pay to the dead bod, of Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schle, the honor and tribute which it refused
 to the living hero.
 There was an apparent air of shame facedness about the department, in it. efforts to see that every possible hon or was given, and that no detai which could add to the imposing eff. feet of the funeral of Schley wal overlooked. Men who were bitteres In their criticism of the veteran Ses fighter were most alert in aiding those in charge of the cortege. The turr of expert opinion in recent years to ward the support of Schley and the great manifestation of public affec- tien for the hero following his death left no other course open to the navy
 The monster funeral procession to- day with all the military and maya display that the government could of fer, was a somewhat belated honor to Schley, but it was complete and in some respects it was the most re- markable funeral Washington ever saw.
 The cortege was in charge of Rear big naval band from Annapolis. roc midshipmen, 500 marines, 400 bluepack7 cts and a battery of field artillery, besides the scores of carriages carry ing dignitaries and friends.
 Admiral George Dewey, now the only remaining great battle hero of the navy, who was Schley's most confi- seI &.r-L fI,o mourners. He was unable, on ac- count of his feeble health and the great shock he sustained when he heard that Schley had fallen dead, to take any active part in the funeral.
 At Schley's, own request, the first services held at the residence at 1 o'clock this afternoon, were the Rose Croix Rites. conducted by Francis A. Sebring, Wise Master of the Evange- list Chapter, of which Schley had been a s3d degree Mason.
 The B. B. French lodge of Masons took a prominent part throughout the funeral and the ffaternal order, in which Schley was highly esteemed and afrectionately known, was equally prominent with the army and navy.

ONE DEAD OF GAS
 POISONING; ANOTHER ON WAY TO RECOVERY

Gas claimed one victim and nearly Numbered another in this city today. lWhle the authorities believed for a Itime that both cases were suicidal. subsequent investigation led them to conclude that they were accidental lone of the two dismissed doctors and lsent for Christian Science readers.
 Albert Bergman, an invalid, living in his own home at 89 Morehouse street, Black Rock, was found dead in sflis bathroom when his wife returned at 11:30 this forenoon from a short i tvieit to the markets.
 Mrs. J. c. Nicol of 489 Carroll ave- nue. was discovered by other residents of the same house in an unconscious condition with gas pouring from two open jets, at 8 o'clock this morning. Prompt action by Dr. N. T. Pratt of EStratford Avenue, and later by Dr.. ,Greenstein who answered the ambu- ilance call, snatched the woman from the brink of the grave. and this af- ternoon her recovery was said to be assured.
 Mrs. Nicol and her husband have been estranged several weeks. Last night she closed a little store she con- ducts at Stratford and Carroll avenue, and on retiring at 9:30 it is now be- lieved her clothing caught in a ~5et near the head of her bed and left the jet open during the night.
 This morning the children found their mother unconscious. They spread then ealarm. After Dr. Pratt and the ambulance corps had revived her and she regained her senses, the woman dismissed the physicians and summon ed Christian Science readers, who re- mained with her through the day.
 Bergman has been an invalid for about years He was stricken with a shock and left partially paralyzed. Formerly employed as laborer, of late he had done nothing but the odd chores about his own home. Four grown children contribute to the sup port of the family.

MONARCHY NOW
 PROCLAIMED : IN PORTUGAL
Announcement Made That Royalist Forces Occupying Two Northern Provinces
On Anniversary of Revolution
 it is Rumored That . King
 Manuel May Return to Throne
Especial from United Press. ]

London, Oct. 5-Marquis De Le Vradio announced in a statement early today, that Royaaist forces had occupied the two northern provinces of Portugal and proclaimed the mon: archy. The Marquis claimed that he had positive information to this ef- feet.
 ''The Republican, troops are desert ing wholesale" he said, "and the counter revolution is rapidly spread ing over the country The govern ment's statement that it has been sup pressed is utterly false.'
 While the strictest censorship is be- ing exercised by the Portuguese gov ernments enough information came over the Spanish frontier practically to confirm the Marquis statements.
 King Manuel is still at Richmond but is believed to be planning a hasty departure if the first news of royalist success is confirmed.
 This, the day fixed by the Royalists for an attempt at a counter revolu- tion in Portugal. is the anniversary of the monarchy's overthrow. The revo- lution of a year ago was accomplish ed with almost ridiculous ease. Man ue1, who succeeded to the throne fol- lowing the assassination of his father, King Carlos, and elder brother, Crown Prince Louis, was never firmly seated there All arrangements for the re- volt had been carefully made by the carbonari Republican secret society with Machido Santos, a naval officer, at it's head. On the night set for the revolt there were. four warships in the harbor and the soldiers ashsore in Lisbon mutineed. The others realized the futility of resisting, although the ships bombarded the city for several hours By morning everything was in the Republicans hands and a provi- siona1 government was proclaimed with pr. Theophilo Braga as presi- dent There was some loss of life but for so complete governmental over turning comparatively little.
 Deserted by all his advisers, Manuel had, in the meantime, fled from Lis bon with his mother, grandmother and uncle, the Duke of Aporto. heir to the throne. They went to Gibral- tar and later to Londons where the King has, remained ever since
 Southern Portugal has remained steadfastly Republican throughout but the north has been strongly royalist from the first.

After a bonn bardment of several hours, it is ing, early today, at Prevesa, but were repulsed with a loss of IS men. Only the meagrest details of the affair have reached here but they have been suf- ficient to arouse a feeling of the most profound uneasineSs. If it is really the. purpose of the Italian government to land an expeditionary force in Eu- ropean Turkey, it is believed in off cial circles. nothing can prevent an ble possibility of a great European war
 From Vienna, news comes of in- creasing unrest in Albania, Montene- gro and Bulgaria The A1banians are said to be watching with the utmost interest the situation at Prevesa and are prepared to take up arms the mo- ment the Italian fleet lands. Nicholas of Montenegro, the old Lion of the Balkans, who. for 15 years has fought and intrigued for an opportunity to fight, is being watched by every cham cel1ory in Europe lest the old warrior believe that his chance has come at last
 A constant stream Of scomm1nica- tions is passing between the foreign office here and Paris and Rome and it is generally understood that Sir Edward Grey is doing everything in his power to obtain concerted action by the powers to persuade Turkey to accept the Italian terms but no offi- cial fnformation has so far been giv- en out.
