ENGINEERS OPPOSE
GREAT FALLS PLAN
Army Chief Reports Project Not
eNcessary to Give Capital
Adequate Water Supply.

ofacisl objection to the Great Falls
waterpowcr project was registered to-
day by Brig. Gen. Dan G. Kingman,
cvief OF army engineers. in his report
TO Secretary OF war Garrison on the
operation OF tho Washington aqueduct
for the last fiscal year.
I'm view of the reduction OF the total
average daily consumption from about
81 900 900 gallons in 1907 to about $780,
OoO gallons In 1915" General ISingman
said. "and the further reduction which

Columbia confidently expects VIII Toll

Meters Cut Consumption.
The reduction in consumption was
brought about by metering OF the city
service, which il now 70 per cent com
pleted, General Klngman said.
Objection 10 made In the report 70 tns

Again Asks New Bridge.
General KingInau ,renews his reconI-
mendation for a new Aqueduct bridge
but does not submit an estimate oI
pass on the merits Uf the controversy
as to where the bridge should be
located. He says the live old piers Of
the present bridge either should b6
rebuilt or the entire bridge replaced
by a wider and stronger structure

Treasury Chief Tells President
Nations Financial Resources
Now Are the Greatest in It's
History.
Asks for Appropriations to OBJ
tain Efficiency Ratings and
Run Down Persons Who
Dodge Income Tax.

Emphasizing the need, of addi-
tional revenues to meet the pre-
paredness program, the ordinary
needs of Government, and Panama
canal expenditures without rum
ming the country into a deficit in
1917, or resorting to a-bond issue,
and calling, attention to the need
OF an appropriation to prevent
wholesale beating of the income
tax, Secretary Of the Treasury Nc
Adoo todSy presented his annual
report to the President and to the
Congress.
Outlining the financial situation
Of the country and the state of the
nations business, the Secretary de-
clares that the country never has
been so strong or in so favorable a
condition financially as now, and
that the nations financial re-
sources are the greatest in its his
tory, and the banking system the
strongest in the world. He points
to the stream Of gold pouring into
the country that has given the
United States the greatest store of
this precious metal ever held by
any nation, exceeding as it does,
two billion one hundred million
dollars.

THROUGH A WOMA'S GLASSES

By Aunt Mary in the P.-I)
 q didn't think" she said, look ing up out of troubled eyes from her seat on the low divan. Connie was always so good to me. How could he have gone away with that other woman. What could she have done to make him desert me and the baby. 1 didn't think when went off on that boat excursion that he would care. Why didn't he say so if he felt hurt, as he says he did in this letter. Oh, what evershall I do?
 It was an hour later when I left her. She had grown quiet and promised to try and go to sleep. But the world looks black enough to her just now, as you may understand.
 Alas, how often hear those words, q didn't think" What worlds of sorrow are wrapped up in them. If We could all of us remember to think in time. It was Lillian Whiting in her "World Beautiful" who wrote:
 Thought is the preparative pro cess by means of which one comes to be able to take advantage of op- portunity.'
 She might have added that thought was the bulwark behind which We could safeguard our hap piness from every attack of fate. How many separations of friends, of husbands and wives might have been avoided, never indeed have approached had there been 9 little th7ngink done by the part:es at the outset. Thought is as essential to life as food, perhaps more essen- tial. This is quite true of physical life at least. But real life is not merely or mostly matter of phys iHal vitality, but it must mean in tellectual strength and moral pur- pose as we'll. The poise and exhil- eration and enegery, which alone mako up true living, are the re- suit Of thought and reflection. Thought is health; thought is a. ehieverent; thought is success. Now 1t doe : matter whether one's sue cess depends on running a depart ment store profitably, Or building canal, or preaching an eloquent sermon or keeping one's married partner in ones own home. the result depends entirely on thought.
 What my fearful friend meant when he said she didn't think was that she didn't think of her hus- band when she left him to go off on pleasure trip. She is a good little soul and meant no harm. I know that very we'll. But the bus. band Qm afraid he was looking for an excuse to do mean act). no doubt said to himself. "She does nt ever think of me- and so found the excuse he was looking for.
 Poor little soul, she has to think now, both for herself and their baby.

HE WAS UPHELD
 BY FRIENDS
THE CRITICISM COULD NOT PROCEED FROM LACK OF
 PATRIOTISM

LONDON, Dec. 30--Lord Rib- besdale, whose attack on the Brit ish army staff in the House of Lords caused him to be called the next thing to traitor by Lord Derby, has given two sons and a son-in-law to his country. Besides being brother-in-law of the pre- mier and head of one of the old country families of Yorkshire. One son was killed in Sonililand ten years ago and the other son and son-in-law met their deaths fight ing in France during the last year.
 In defense of Lord Ribbesdale, his friends say he betrayed no military secrets, as criticisms of the man. agement of the war are outspollen in England, and common rumor had 1t that Gen. Munro was in favor of abandoning the Dardanelles. Be- sides it is declared, if the speech was deemed harmful to the military interests of the counthy, it could have been easily stopped by the censorship, who had only to noti- fly the press.

10 the Best Wood for Gun Stocks and
Experts Are Trying to Find Suit
able Sutstitute.-Two Dying
Trees Sell at Top Price.

Washington.-The European war has
caused a marked shortage in black
walnut for the manufacture OF gun
stocks, and agents OF gun manufac'
turers are securing the forests.
Recently two partly decayed black
walnut trees in the Arkansas National
forest, Arkansas, were sold at $40 per
1000 feet on the stump. This is the
highest price ever paid for any unhn'
ished hardwood SO far as is known,
and certainly for any sold from ma.
tional forest.
The two Arkansas trees were in
splendid condition for manufacture in
the near future, being well cured.
Black walnut has long been recognized
as the best material for gun stocks.
The American pioneers made rifle
stocks of maple. but in war times the
musket stocks were of black walnut.
At convention of gunsmiths held
in Atlanta. Ca, in August, 1861, the
consensus of opinion was that black
walnut was easily the superior of all
hard woods for gun manufacture, with
maple second and persimmon third. 1t
was held that gun stock material
should be air.dried for 20 years before
being used In construction.
During the Civil war walnut for
gun stocks was obtained both In the
North and South by purchasing miles
of fence rails. and by taking floors
and beams out OF old barns and mills
where the wood had been seasoned
for 9. quarter to half century The
toughness and durability Of black
walnut is well known.
The forest service has record OF q
roof OF black walnut shingles in the
Shenandoah valley of Virginia thai
has shed the rain successfully for Il
years. A black walnut beam used
in the construction Of the famous
Alamo at San Antonio, Tex. was found
to be perfectly sound when the build
ing was restored In 1912 after 6
period of 1875 years.
Apparently buyers have been about
as eager to find black walnut suitable

had hoped against hope and begged
of God that their hearts might be

other row was Robert. He staggered
and the big tears splashed down his

on and in the last row lay his little
daughter Irene. He stumbled across
the hall to Deputy Coroner Davis
and asked that the bodies of his three
