Water Matters Go Up:
City Advances Price

Users OF city water who have meters
placed In their residences now will ind,
when they come to buy them, meters
have, advanced in price one third over
what they were six months or a year
ago. II the property owner does not
buy meter for three or four months
he will find that it will cost double
what 1t did year ago. With the cost
price going UP the city water depart
ment has advanced the price at which
it will furnish meters.
For several years the standard meter
for domestic use that the city has been
supplying applicants has been fur:
nished at 1915. Recently the city pur-
chased meters. 1t found it had to pay
$S.40, exclusive of freight and drayage
for them, The city has therefore ad-
vanced it's price to $3.50 which is prac-
tically cost price Since the purchase
was made the price has advanced still
more and it was said at the city clerk $
office that when the next purchase of
meters Is made the city will have to
charge $11,50 to $1s to cover the cost
price. ~

WASHINGTON DIVIDED

1t cannu. -. be disagreeable to the
public to perceive that collision OF
opinions has arisen between the sen
ate and House of Representatives on
the subject of their respective powers'
the Senate having rejected a bill from
the House of Representatives, TOT
carrying treaty Of commerce. with
Great Britain into effect, our regrets
on this occasion are, however, greaty
alleytated by the knowledge that TINS
difference proceeds from no division
Of sentiment in regard to the treaty
itself: not single member OF eltner
House having expressed an incllnation
to throw any impeachment In the way
of giving. to its stipulations the most
complete effect. The question IS en-
tirely constitutional in its nature; ana
the difference of opinion confined TO
the question, wether legislation be or
not be necessary to give the treaty
effect.
IL this be a question adjud1cateo
under the great national charter, II ~
fortunate that it has presented itself
on an occasion where no party parry
feelings nor motives of expediency
can Be supposed to influence the de-
cfsion Of it, and every circumstance
fayors the exercise OF the unbiased
Judgment OF both branches of Con-
gress on the question.

SHALL WE ALI. FLY?

A news dispatch from st. Peters
burg Fla. reports that a Portland,
Ne, woman aged ST has just gone up
1900 feet in an aeroplane. From
some of the winter resorts the news
comes that many of the women guests
are going up with aviators almost
daily. Is the time drawing near
when we shall look on an air trip
as no more of an event than a ride in
an automobile?
For, some of us cautious people,
that day Is some distance off. If you
are rolling along In your automobile
at 20 miles an hour and the motor
breaks down, you merely have a dis
agreeable hour while some one runs
to the nearest telephone and gets the
nearest garage. If the same thing
happens in your aeroplane, you are
quite fortunate if you merely get to
the hospital instead Of the GENE
terry.
No motor that man can ever invent
will be perfectly secure against stop
ping in mid air. Then it comes down
to the question whether machine
can be so equipped and handled that
it can descend safely on "a still engine.
Ore adInires the courage OF our friend
of 81 who enjoyed that quarter OF a
mile trip, but many of us would rath
