sTIMsON ON CONSERVATION.
should He Given Fo,
Water Power Rights.

A policy which seems likely to become
a most important issue in connection
with the conservation OF the natural re-
sources of the United States in control
OF the Federal government is most Wig
orously defended in a letter made public
last night by Secretary OF War Stimson.
The letter was written to Representa-
tive W. c. Adamson chairman OF the
House Committee on Inter state and For
eign Commerce, as a result OF the report
OF that committee on the omnibus dam
bill, in which the recommendations o.
the War Department in regard to COM
pensation of the Federal government for
water-power privileges are discarded
Secretary Stimson holds that a policy
of conservation of the natural resources
demands that the Federal government re-
fuse to give away extensive water-power
privileges without exacting some COM
pensation. or at least reserving the right
to exact compensation The principle Is
tho same. the Secretary contends.
whether the government builds dams
which make for improvements Of COM
rercia, value or whether II permits pri-
vate capital to do so.

May Appoint De Lacy.

1t was announced yesterday following
the Cabinet meeting at the White House
that President Taft would probably not
announce the appointment of a Judge
for the Juvenile Court for several
months yet.
The President and the Attorney Gen.
eral have been so busy since June 30.
the date of expiration of Judge William
II. De Lacy's term, that they have not
had time TO give the question of an ap-
pointglent or re-appointment careful con-
sideration. Many communications are at
the White House with respect to the
judsship-some urging the re-appoint-
ment OF Judge De Lacy and others IA
voring the selection OF other persons for
the position.

INSIST ON HIGHER RATE.
Gas Company Wants $3.50 Per
Lamp in Streets.

The Washington Gaslight Company.
through its secretary. William B. orme.
has refused the demand of the District
Commissioners that they furnish street
lights at the rate Of s1S.75 per lamp
They insist upon the rate previously paid
-s1s40 per lamp.
The Commissioners ordered the reduc-
ton as a result OF an act Of Congress-
which went into effect June 26. providing
that not more than the reduced rate be
paid for street lights. The Gaslight Com
pany questions the right of the Commits
sioners to order a reduction on 6,613 lamp
posts owned by the District prior to July
]. The matter was reported to Corpora
ton Counsel E. H. Thomas, who upheld
the order.

INSTALL WATER METERS.
New Aqueduct VIII Not he Neces-
sary II This Il Done.

The installation Of water meters in the
District. and especially on all government
services. Is strongly urged in the last
annual report Of Col. Langftt. engineer
ing officer in charge Of the District water
supply system. The report also contains
an estimate for continuing the installa-
ton in all Federal buildings during the
fiscal year 1874
1t is claimed that a new aqueduct will
not be necessary, If the meters are in
stalled. To prove this assertion, the
water consumption for every year since
1874 is cited. and the amount Of waste
shown.
The estimate expenses Of Washington
aqueduct and accessories aggregates
500, $50. The item for installation of
meters is sS3l5o. The estimate has been
approved by Gen. Bixby, chief Of engi-
neers Of the army.

Notice to InmateSi

Many of the inmates who are
buying underwear, handkerchiefs
and socks, are in the habit of put
ting them in the laundry before
they have been properly marked
with their Register Number. Many
of them being only marked with
pencil or writing ink and as such
marking will disappear in the first
washing, it becomes impossible to
know their owner When buying
such articles and before using same.
place them in package, put your
Register Number on it and hand it
to the Dollhouse Keeper, who will
then send it to the Store Room,
where the articles will be marked.
Do not throw your handkerchiefs or
socks on the bathroom floor, but
keep them on your stall-door until
they are picked up by the attend
ants. Failure to comply W h
above notice will mean that owner
will have to stand for loss of such
articles.

Each and everyone of us is more
or less absent minded. This fact is
called to the domitory mans atten-
ton every morning by some one or
other asking him in anxious tones if
he had seen a large bar of Grandpa's
tar soap laying in the soap dish at
the washs-and after the lads are
through washing. Most always the
man receives his soap back, but in
some cases there are those who do
not, because they do not inquire
for:it. If you leave soap behind,
inquire for it Immediately and it's a
certainty that it will be returned at
once.
A word to the wise about the N.
P. and what is doing in the build
ing line First of all l want to say
that l have it from good authority
that the boys at the O. P. will be
occupying new quarters by the LIST

will say that l am talking through
my little khaki cap, but you fellows
take Uncle Bingo's tip and watch
your bank roll increase. Why
goodness gracious me, did any one
notice that the roof is being put on
the dining room and that the wall to
the rear of the prison proper is near
ly completed. No one seems to
have noticed this and when told to
go look out the window. they put
on doubling Thomas look, but ali!
what a change when they return.
A look of astonishment has taken
the place of unbelief. The dining
room will soon be completed and
then there remains the farm
machinery building, hospital, kitchen
and several minor buildings.
