 City,
 Gentlemen:-By direction of the First Assistant Postmaster General, the box rent for the Ketchikan Post Office will be reduced on January Ist, 1913, as follows:
 Small, 45c. per quarter.
 Medium, COG. per quarter.
 Large. 75c. per quarter.
 D. w. HIGGINS,
 Postmaster The above letter which speaks for itself, will be welcome news to the people of Ketchikan, and is even better than the most sanguine of us had ever hoped for. It shows that after ali there is still a little hope for the common people, and a little consideration for their well fare.
 The Miner feels especially pleased about this reduction be cause this paper was the first to call the matter to the atten- tion of the powers that rule i'll the post office department, al though of course additional credit must be given the Com merical Club and other local in- stitutions. The main thing is we can now get mail boxes at a reasonable figure, one with III the reach of all, and we wouldn't have gotten it if we hadn't raised a howl over il.

The Ketchikan miner., 1912-10-18
During the first week in Mo-

yember, the Citizens, Light, Power and Water Co.,, expect to have completed what is prob ably the most important inn provement in the citys' history. the new water system. The community will then have a pressure for fire fighting pur- poses sufficiently ample for all purposes, and will be supplied with water from Ketchlkan Lake direct. This work which has kept twenty or thirty men employed since early i'll the year, is designed to supply city of from five to ten times our present population, and demonstrates the confidence generally prevalent as to ketch ikans' permanency and immed- fate growth.
 From the Power house to the Co.'S office a distance of 4,000 feet a twelve inch line capable of withstanding pressure of I25 lbs. per square inch has been constructed and will carry water for both domestic and fire use. This is buried and boxed to eliminate those difficulties arising from freezing which have been experienced by the company in past years. A pres sure of 130 lbs, will be maln- tained in the fire mains and 60 lbs. for domestic purposes. The old line which has suplied the city in the past will be re- tail@d and used in conjunction withNhe new line and the two systems kept in balance.
 These lines are connected with the main supply line by 500 feet of 44 inch pipe. The main line extending to the lake is $500 feet long and is com- posed of 1T 1-2inch pipe. It is carried by tram built with all foundations on bed rock mak- ing the whole line particularly solid. Where inconvenient to excavate for posts they have been pile driven, a rather un- usual feature of the work. At the upper end of the line a tun- mel 26O feet long goes in under inc lake at a depth of 20 feet below the level of the dam, leaving above reservoir cap able of carrying the system ov- CT several months of dry weath CT. In addition a trench 200 feet long and 10 feet below the mean level of the upper lake will be blasted out and a dam inserted thus adding a further reserve to be utilized in case of exceptional weather. These two enormous reservoirs will insure steady supply under any conditions that can pOssi- bly arise.
 The power house 36 K IS it. inside measurement is fire proof throughout being con- structed of concrete with roof of eel-asbestos covered. The plans call for two units each having: a Francis type of Mccormick water wheel (im- proved turbine) with a horse power rated at LOGO, a genera tor, two phase, 60 cycle, 22OO volts Westinghouse; latest type Lombard governor; Tirrell reg 1llator to maintain uniform volt age. The water wheel, gen. orator and eXciter are direct connected doing away with all belting.
 The switchboard is composed Of four panels of blue Vermont morble and contains instru- ments for two generators. The foundations for both units are in, but only one is to be install led before next spring.

the local department has had to contend with for many a day was discovered at Red Mems Hall at ii:30 this morning. The blaze apparently had caught 1 from the flue of the Ketchikan Meat Market, and had gotten under good headway between the walls of the building before il was discovered. The fire boys responded in short order as they always do, and within three minutes after the alarm was sounded, water and the chemical stream were playing oil the blaze. By that time the fire had reached the roof so that space of probably ten OF twelve feet in width and the height of the building was one mass of flames. Water was turned on from the roof, thru the walls from the lodge hail, and also from the stairway. Gradually the boys succeeded in getting il out, so that al 12:l5 the "outo signal was given.
 During the interval willing hands had carried out the Field clothing stock and the supplies of the Royal bakery between
 Fields and the meat market, end piled them in Strong's stove store and the Heckman furniture department, just in time to rescue them from the deluge of water which came down from the hall above.
 Il is of course too early to form more than a conjecture Of the actual damage done. The inside of the hall is ruined one wall being burned and torn out to get at the seat of the fire, the rest is water soaked, and will have to be completely renovated. This will mean new floor, and probably new scenery. Down stairs Field will probably be the greaies5 loser, as his stock had 10 be carried across the street and laid down every way, his stock was partially insured. The Royal Bakery's damage is con- siderable, as a tremenduous d. mount of water came down probably running their interior fittings, and simply wiping out all their stock on hand. The butcher shop was completely inundated and the probabilities are that their cold storage plant will be put completely out Of business To say nothing of the loss of the stock they had on hand.
 At the postoffice the books and stock on hand were taken .out and carried over to the Of fees of the lighthouse service, but the floods of water did great deal of damage to the furniture and equipment, 10 say nothing of putting the in- stitution out of business for some time. For q while il looked as though the fire was breaking trough and catching m the Apsch building occupied by lhe cable office. This was ayerled by f e excellent work of the fire department, thus preventing a general conflag- ration.
 Immediately after the fire !. R. lIeckman & Go. headed subscription list for the benefit Of the fire boys who had worked so conscientiousIy and we'll in putting the fire out, rnining their clothes many of them in so doing. Everybody ill the town are responding so freely that between two and two hun

Shortage oi Labor md Trnuhye With Labor tgentS is Worrying
 Planters.

The cotton crop ln Jefferson and surrounding counties, for winch. Pine Bluff is the ma .ket, is moving very slowly this year in comparison with former years and in a report issued at the Cotton F,X .hange yesterday, which includes cotton received up to
 last Saturday, September 2S, only SD bales have been marketed in Pine Bluff. On the same date last yea 999 bales had Been received and in 1910, 2,SG3.
 The chief cause in this falling off is Of course, the bad weather that prevailed during the growing season, throwing the crop at least a month behind. problem which is now worrying the p.aEtation owners in this immediate section is the lack of labor to pick the crop. Reports from many points not only in Jefferson but in other counties state that the marketing of the crop will be greatly retarded because pickers can not be secured
 Many negroes who have picked the crcp in former years have been in- dutcd to leave this section by prom- ises of higher wages and stoadier worK in cthe.' counties and states, and dur ing the past week several mon were in the city and persuaded many ne- groes to leave. Several planters took the matter up with the authorities and all effort is being made to ap- prehend these parties Milo, the plan ters claim, are violating the law.

Contrary to the opinion held by many prominent churchmen the Rev. z. C. Cline, pastor of the First Chris an church. in his morning discourse at the caurca Sunday on the subject of .ln9ra itude" said that he had not as yet been able to accept the bel ef tlat tie world was growing better
 After reading the first six verses of the third chapter Of the second book of Timothy Dr. Cline said in part:
 .Disobed ence in children is a sign ol the times They never con- sildr the care and anxiety bestowed upon them when little children by heir parents and instead of beln@ orateful and helping to make the way easy fer the mother and them selves and their parents miserable by demanding things the mother ana father are unable to provide. They ara ,,nfrateful for the home which has been provided and cause misery to enter therein by deserting it as soon as possible. Be it ever so humole there is no place like home and l want to say that the domiclles of the contented are those of the poor aha lowlv.
