Fresh Water From the Ocean.

Manama, the principal port of the Bahrein islands. the center of the pearl fisheries, gets its fresh water from the ocean from springs at the bottom of the sea. These springs we'll up strong ly at considerable depth, and the en- tire water supply of the town is ob tained from them. The fresh water is procured in two ways-either in a goatskin water bag, which a diver takes down with him and carefully closes before bringing it to the surface, or by letting down long hollow pipes of bamboo weighted at the lower end. through which the water rises uncon- taminated to the surface.-LOndon Tel egraDh

Columbia, s. c., Jan. i,.-Acting up
on complaint Of more than 1000 mill
operatives in South Carolina, Com
missioner Watson will ask the gem
eral assembly for stringent meas
ure to govern the number OF hours
OF work in textile plants. He said
that the question of making up lost
Use was giving a great deal of trou-
Die' aha that the matter was left en-
tlreiy lnttse hands of superinien-
dents; he satd that the measure
would not work ID hardship on the
mills. but would give nrotection TO
the operatives from abuses by an
indiscrimfnatate overseeri or sifperin-
tehdent. =,
The measure Will specifically de-
fine just how "lost time must be
made up. .Under the present con-
dition there is no means by which
mill may be prosecuted II the ope-
ratives are required to work more
time than they lose,r thc commits
sioner said.

No diff erence whether you want a chicken house, a nice residence of a sky scraper he will be glad to figure wi h you, and you can be assured that if he does the work it will be done right. He is the man who is remodeling the Public Reading Rooms. Give his name and tele- phone number.
 NUMBER: 2 The best equipp- ed mill and box factory in the Southwest is located right here in Villains, and their payroll is the principal reason for the existence of the town. They supply all the surrounding states with the best of Arizona soft pine lumber, and the fruit growers of California and Arizona would hardly be able t., market their crops without the boxes supplied by this firm.
