STRIKES ROCK

KOBE. Japan. April l2.-The Seattle steamship Minnesota struck rock last night on Iwanma in the northwest entrance to the inland sea. Capt Gar lick commander of the bis wrecked ship has wirelessed that the passen- gers and crew of the vessel are safe. He asked that salvage steamer be sent to his assistance at once.
 It is believed here that the request for a salvage steamer means that the Minnesota is not in such bad way but what there is at least chance to save her.
 The Minnesota belongs to the Great Northern Steamship company, and is the largest ship plying on Che Pacific ocean.

are established for teaching them the

curing employment, and stringent
measures are taken to prevent their
being cheated or exploited by the un-

THOSE SURFACE DRAINS

II you have ever been obliged to
walk several blocks out of your way
or, gritting your teeth, have valiantly
waded through the rushing torrent at
your street corner after a heavy rain,
you are undoubtedly convinced that
Columbia's system of surface drainage
is sadly inadequate.
Many of the streets of Columbia are
upon grade, and water flowing down
this grade is not going to turn abrupt
ly at right angles and go into the side
Of a curb. Much of it is going to pass
by such an outlet and, coming in con-
tact with a stream of water from the
other direction, will be thrown out into
the middle of the road directly in front
of the sidewalk crossing, making 1t
impossible 10 cross the streets at the
corner during heavy rains.
A better system of surface drainage,
including, especially. proper catch
basins at the proper functions of
streets, is one of the most pressing of
Columbia's public improvement needs.
As the town grows this necessity will
become more and more apparent. The
lack of underground surface drainage
disposal is even now costing the city
a considerable amount, since a great
deal of dirt is carried into the cutters
Of the pavements and deposited there
In other parts of town, the surface
drainage from surrounding properties
and from the streets overflow upon the
yards, rendering private property un-
salable or less valuable.
This surface drainage system, ade-
quate for the needs of the Columbia
Of today and tomorrow, should be pro-
vided for at the time Of, or preceding.
the laying of the pavement and should
be considered as an essential part Of
street improvement. If not now pro-
vided. it will mean a serious expense
when future needs compel the tearing |
up of miles Of pavement to install such |
q system. Let's have It now.

two chapters OF his book. He believes
that the fifteenth amendment to the
