ters adequate wages. but expects them to

the travelling public. was the declaration
today of President John Nj Eshleman Of
the California railroad commission, which

Quoting an investigation Into the resula-
tlons and practices of the company In
this state.

counsel for the company. Richmond Dean
general manager. both with Headquarters
attorney for the company In California.
Commissioner Ashleman said:
Though 1t Is not within the province
do with the rate OF wages paid TO the
employees OF any corporation, we are
convinced that much OF the trouble OF the
Pullman company is due TO the fact that
It does not pay sufficient wages TO its
employees and practically compeIs them
to make living by getting the travelling
public to dig UP, or, come through as
the language OF the day has Il.
There are serious complaints against
the practices OF the company. and many
of these so back TO the necessity Of Its
public,
II am even prepared to say that II the
Pullman company would raise its wage
scale. and do away with the abuses Of
the tipping system. this commission
would be willing TO listen 10 a raise In
rates. AS the system is now operated.

unable To obtain any service unless he
pays extra for II.
The hearings viii be continued and are
TO embrace a wide review Of the COM
pany's regulations and practices Among
the most frequent complaints are that

SHEARMAN TAKES TRIP
THROUGH CITY CREEK
Is Making Inspection That
Would Qualify Him for
Water Department.

". n. Shearman. commissioner. elect,
accompanied Superintendent Charles F,
Barrett OF the water department up
City Creek canyon yesterday after
noon TO inspect the work being done
in the canyon toward development of
new water. Mr.. Shearman has made
several trips about the various canyons
from which flows the city IS water sup
ply, and in other ways is qualifying
for the position Of commissioner OF
water supply in case it should be al.
lotted TO him.
In City Creek remarkably profitable
work is being carried on under the di~
rection of Allen McQuarrie, assistant
water superintendent. With a handful
of laborers and at a total outlay of not
more than several hundred dollars he
has increased the flow Of the creek and
its tributaries nearly 100000 gallons
daily.
The work consists mostly of cleaning
out tunnels and springs that had been
neglected for many years, thus caus-
ing all the available water to flow into
the creek channel rather than wasting
itself by seepage,
In preparation for the winter cold
spell the water department now has a
gang of men at work in the CANYON
cleaning all underbrush and fallen
trees from the creek channel, so as to
give the water an unchecked flow, In
case of severe cold these hindrances aid
the frost in locking up the water and
diminishing the flow.
Superintendent Barrett has com
menced the preparation of his annual
report TO the city commissioners on the
water department and water supply %
the city. He will this year, as he did
last year.. incor0orate in his lcLort a
number of suggestions for the improve
ment of the present city supply.
Mr. Barrett expects To recommend
the continuation of the work of tnn
nehng for water which has been III
progress in Emigration canyon, and
where an Unexpectedly good flow of wa
ter has been had and piped into the
city conduit. The purchase of addi.
tional rights in other locations will also
be outlined and recommended.
City Greek canyon will come in for n
goodly share OF The superintendent g re-
port. in that source of supply, aside
from the clearing OF 'be channel and
the narrowing cf the creek at some
points, Superintendent Barrett will rec.
ommeuI the construction of a reservoir
above the high line tank where sprlug
food waters which now 90 to waste can
be stored and used when the regular
flow depreciates. The driving of more
tunnels. the development of the smaller
subsidiary streams. where thare is at
present q loss. owing 10 seepagc md
evaporation. will probably be undcrtak-
en- next year il Mr.. Barrett's recon
mcndations are followed. City Engi-
neer Sylvester @. Cannon has recently
installed several weirs for the purpose
of determining the exact flow of water
which the city now receives and the
extension Of this system sof measure
ment will also be taken up BY the SUI.
