Fred Light Injured

While walking on the ice-covered
walk during the sleet storm early last
Saturday morning, Fred Light had
the misfortune to fall with such force
and in such manner as t. sustain
serious internal INJURIES. He is now
at his home under the care of doctor
and it is feared it will be some time
before he will be able to be about.
The ligaments supporting the abdomen
gave way under the pressure of the
strain as he exerted himself to pre-.
vent the fall. ... 49,

The totals are thus given for a
monthly consumption equal to that
Of January 1915. For increased pump
ing these totals would tend ! to be-
come smaller as the operation labor
is practically fixed and would be the
same for twice as much pumping.
The gas engine maintenancy, new
parts, etc., to keep it in good running
order, averages one-third of one
cent per thousand gallons pumped.
No figures are at hand for the CEN
trifugal pump and motor mainten-
ance but it probably is not one-tenth
of one cent per thousand gallons
pumped. :s>> !
The cost of replacing the present
pipe line with a 10'' cast iron main
fully equipped and old pipe taken
out would be about 81 100000, a 12'
pipe about $4,000 more. This would
leave $780, of pipe to make further
extensions of the distributing system
Assuming that only 4" pipe would be
used for these extensions the $3.50
of s" pipe would be worth as much
as would have. to be paid for the A.
pipe delivered, or practically $4,000. OF
with the advantage of the larger
main ;crediting this item to the cos
of new mains, there remains $4,000. OF
to be paid for. Considering the aver
age yearly pumping to be 75,OOO,O O(
gals, the yearly saving in pumping
will be according to the above table
1.9Sc per thousand gallons, or $14S!
if electricity is used and $5S5.OO i
gasoline is used. Hence if electricit,
is used three years savings will pa,
for the Improvement and if gasolin
is used eight and one half years will
be required.

put in the same trench as the sewers

If the price of power is made 2Ac

Sc per cent.
The large gas engine has during
the month been put in first class
running order by the addition of a
new piston and cylinder.
A test was made of the capacities
of the three pumping units.
1. Electrically driven centrifugal
pump so H. P. Motor, 1858 gals. per
min. against head of 297 feet.
2. Gas engine 35 H. P. Triplex
pump, 1872 gals. per min. against a
head of 249 feet.
5. Gasoline engine H. P. Triplex
pump II gals. per min. against a
head of ITO feet.
f.. Two gas units together 374 gals.
per min. against a head of 295 feet.
The head due to the water in the
tank was 164 feet. The friction head,
head lost in overcoming friction in
the pipe and bends, is, as follows:
1. Centrifugal pump, 365 gal, loss
1873. 49,. >. r.
2. Large gas engine, 292 gals.
loss IS.
3. Small gas engine, II gals, loss 6.
4. Two gas engines, 374 gals, loss
10.
The third unit with loss of 6 #.
would be the most economical to run.
The delivery pipe was evidently de-
signed for this engine, as it pumps
almost II gals. per H. P. per minute
while the electric pump with an act
ual connected load of 81 H. P. pumps
6.S gals. per min. per H. P. If the
friction head of the electrical pump
were reduced as low as it would
able, as the efficiency of the motor
and centrifugal pump is a consider
able greater than the Is year old
gas engine and triplex pump.
The average daily consumption so1
the month was 1S2,5OO gals, or 127
gals. a min.

delivery main has an effective diam
eter of 51a inches. It has been il
service Is years. Such pipe should
last so years or more unless subject
ed to too great pressure.
The Great Northern Ry used g,
100000 gals. This leaves a total o.
3,431, 900 gals, which for a popula
ton estimated at 2,100 makes
daily consumption per capita of s.
gals.
In case of severe fire where
lines of hose are used, it would b.
necessary to supply 600 gals min
ute. The pumps at present installed
would deliver this amount if tn
pipe could withstand the pressure o
1882 per square inch necessary a
the station for the delivery of CO.
gals. per minute. The best G. l. pip
will withstand 173" per SOU. in.
The ability to deliver an ampl
amount of water for fire protection
in case of emergency, and reducin
wastage of power are the two MOS
important reasons for charging III

If 1O1 main were put in the frlc-
ton head of the electric pump would
be reduced from 1873 it. to 6.6 tt.
about the same as the friction head
of the smallest pumping unit Tor
which the delivery main was origin
ally designed as already mentioned.
At present As per cent OF the power
consumed is used in overcoming ir1c-
ton in the small pipe. With lO
inch delivery main only 4 per cent
of the power would be wasted, con-
sequently there would be saving
of Al per ceht of the power used now
by the 10 main. AT the price OF
power at PIC per K. w. H. the bill
for power for the month of January
would have been $4,000 instead of
S175.OO the flat rate or $274.0G if
we had to pay 214c under present
conditions. With IL" main the fric-
ton head would be FL it., or a loss
of 1T per cent of power consumed.
This would reduce the saving to more
than 43 per cent of present power
used.
/ The cost of pumping by gasoline
under present conditions is figured
from the month of Jan. 1912 when
data could be obtained, 100000 gal
Ions were pumped at an operating
cost of $272.O0 or 5.56 cents per 1000
gallons. -..,

Too Belligerent.

Careless Jane" in her contri-
button this week, exhibits some
belligerence of which The Herald
does not approve. The Herald
long ago declared that, if any cit
izen of this country did not APP
preciate the United States enough
to remain here with his cash, his
goods and chattels, but preferred
to go to Mexico and invest his
money and live there, he had no
right to expect the United States
to send war-ships and soldiers
there to protect him at cost of
millions of dollars and possibly of
thousands of lives. We hold with
William Jennings Bryan that no
citizen of this country has right
to do anything having the remot-
est possibility Of involving the
United States in frightful war.
And this applies to those who de-
iberately took the risk, after due
warning, Of sailing on the Lusi-
tania. But, be it understood, The
Herald regards their taking off as
willful, deliberate, horrible,
wholesale murder, for which
Germany should be held respon-
sible not only by the United
States, but by all other civilized
countries. Even if Americans are
fools enough to take such risks,
neither Germany nor any other
power has a right to murder
them.

A Great Controversy

For several weeks past, the big
newspapers of the country and
many Of the little ones have been
engaged in a great controversy,
which congress is expected to set
tie between now and next sum-
mer. Volumes Of argument pro
and con. have been published on
the subject of preparedness, and
a great deal of it has been read
and digested by The Herald.
What this little insignificant
paper might have to say about
this matter may attract but little
attention and have less influence
nevertheless, it will exercise its
inalienable right to express an O.
pinion, whether it has any effect
on public sentiment or not.
If we understand it correctly,
the question is, Shall the United
States build a navy equal to that
of Great Britain and create a
standing army of a million, or at
least a half-million. of trained
soldiersY
For what? To defend us a.
gainst an enemy who is purely
imaginary. For over hundred
years, we have not had and we
have not needed such an arma-
ment, and we need it less now
than we did when President
Cleveland notified Great Britain
lot to attack Venezeula. If any
foreign power had wanted to at
.ack the United States, there was
golden opportunity in 1S60-1S-
%, when the war between the
tates was in progress.
Now, who is there to attack us +?
When the war in Europe is ended,
ioes any sane man believe that
my one of the belligerent nations
will have either the desire or the
ability to make war upon the T.
lited States? 1t will be fifty to
hundred years before any Flu
'opean country will have the
means and strength to again en-
.er into a big war. 1t would
seem that the veriest tyro would
know this.

preparedness are afraid of Germ

If the proposition is carried out,

are strongly inclined to believe
the charge that there is marcen-
airy motive behind it all.
1t has been clearly shown that,
with the present pay, it is impos-
sible to enlist enough men in army
and navy to bring those two
branches Of service up to even
one-fourth the strength contem-
plated in the preparedness plans.
