PUSH THEIR CLAIMS FOR MORE SALARY
Coitraian to B Invited Attcad
Tktn Mtiaa aad Haa What . .
tka Carriers Hdt ta
Ofr, '
, The Rural Leter Carriers' ' association
continues t push its claims for recocni
tlon by the government. President F. H.
Cunningham of the national association
stated yesterday that the association
would call a meeting- soon In each con
gressional district where there Is a rural
service, and Invite the congressman r pre
senting the district to attend. This meet
ing, Mr. Cunningham asserts, , will bt
called during the holiday recess of con
gress, in order to permit every congress
man to attend, in case he desires to do
so. , ;
at these meetings, to be held all over
the country, the rural carriers will en
deavor to show the congressmen who at
tend the necessity for the passage of a
blU for more wy for the rural carriers.
Continuing on this subject. President Cun
ningham said:
"I have now three bills which have al
ready 'been introduced advocating more
pay for the rural carriers. One bill calls
for aa advance in salary of S10O a year.
while another asks for an Increase of tSOO
per annum. We have prepared our own
bill asking .that .the maximum be plaoed

at $860. Thia bill we will not present to
congress untU after the holiday recess, I
and the roeetlnea I have mentioned have
been held. We sincerely hope that con
gress will take some action on this mat
ter, and that aa soon as possible, for the
reason that tha l&K) salary now paid Is
not sufficient for a carrier to furnish
horses, wagons, etc., and devote all of
his time to the work."
In conclusion President Cunningham
said that he had received advices from
prominent people in Washington that the
request of the rural carriers would be
carefully considered by congress, and
that there was a probability of an in
crease in wages all along the line among
this class of federal employes.
Fever Water Ordinance.
There is an amended water franchise or
dinance now before the city council, but
it cannot be passed until the publication
of the same for two weeks. Officers of
Improvement clubs all over the city would
Ilka to see this ordinance go through, aa
It would give the city the right to locate
number of Are hydrants. There haa
been a demand for several years for more
hydrants in every ward In the city, and
the Increased' number of buildings really
demands better fire protection, as well
as the extension of ' mains for domestic
use. With the overlap an increase in the
number of hydrants was impossible. Now
that the overlap bonds- have been sold, and
old accounts settled up, there is some
hope oT more hydrants if this ordinance
Is passed. The levy for water remains
the same as last year, but should the or
dinance now under consideration be passed
the company will locate sixteen new hy
drants this year and twenty additional
hydrants next year, the company to be
paid for these hydrants and the wattr
used by the annuity promised In the orig
inal franchise ordinance. People who have
erected homes outside of the hydrant dls
trlcts ssy that they dq not care whether
an annuity is paid or uot what they want
Is water therefore, they favor thl
amended ordinance as the easiest way out
of the difficulty.

fourth and I streets for the Missouri av

laid the switches and rails were of light
material for the reason that heavier ma
terlal could not be secured at that time.
Not very long ago a rumor was current
that the street car company proponed to
make a change in Its eastern line and run
cars down N Instead of L street. This
caused some little commotion among resi
dents on tt street. The laying of tha
heavy steel rails and the new switches as
sures the people now that the L. street

Miss Clerk Satlsaed.
Superintendent McLean of the public
schools received a letter yesterday from
Miss Delia Clark, dated Moorcroft, Wyo.,
In whlcl. she states that ehe la delighted
with her new position. Miss Clsrk is a
graduate of the South Omaha High school
and has many friends here.' When a re
quest came from Wyoming for teachers,
Miss Clark accepted the offer. She la paid
$40 a month and her board furnished. 8hs
says she has twenty-five pupils, but not
snough books to go around. Miss Clark
says she likes the people there and Is con
tent to teach during the term of her con
tract Adeerilslac Beads.
A week or so sgo the city council author
ised the mayor and city clerk to advertise
In the Omaha Dally Bee for the aale of
l-l.OiiO refunding bonds, running twenty
years and tearing I per cent interest, the
Interest to be paid semi-annually. The at
teuiloa of the city officials was called yes
urday by a bead buyer to the fact that
two eastern bond buyers art. now advertis
ing these bonds for sale in eastern financial
papers. Not a single bid for these bonds
has been reoelved, as the bids do not close
until I p. m.,' November 23. City officials
think an . effort Is being made to sell this
issue In the east before making e bid for
the bonds. These same tactics were em
ployed by some eastern brokers about
three years ago.
. , Hedeelna? Street Force.
Mayor Koutsky haa ordered the regular
street repair force to be reduced to two
men.' This was done yesterday. These
two men are paid at the rate of 26 centa
an hour and work eight hours each day.
Their duty Just now is to look over aide
walks, nail down loose planks and in places
were planks are missing fill In dirt enough
to make the walk even. 3y doing thia it
Is thought a number of damage suits can
be prevented. City Engineer Beat said last
night that if the weather softened up a few
more men would be put to work repairing
sidewalks, but no more street Improve
ments sre contemplated this year.

SPECTACULAR PROJECTS IN NORTHWEST
s
Suggestions for People Who Have
Telephone Grlevence Vapor
Eleetrle Lamp Grows
in Pnbllo Favor.
The spectacular Idea of developing elec
tric power from the glaciers of the north
west is nesting a practical stage. It. is
proposed to harness the glaciers of Mount
Rainier to furnish light and power for
manufacturing purposes to a group of
cities in the Puget Sound region. The
power will be derived from the waters
that drip from the Icy fields of the Rainier
peak that rises in the southwest comer of
tha state of Washington to a height of
16,000 feet. The sources of supply are
practically unlimited, for tha sixteen great
glaciers, covering more than 100 square
miles of the surface of the mountain to a
depth of 100 to 2,000 feet, are constantly
replenished by heavy rainfalls from the
Pacific. The excessive precipitation in the
upper slopes of the mountains yields a
eoploua water supply that the engineers
are now taking steps to secure before u
haa escaped fur down the mountain side.
For the present, the development Is to
be limited to 20,000 horse power. A dam is
being erected on the Puyallup river, which
drains five of the sixteen glaciers of the
mountain. Below this point the river
drops rapidly into a deep canyon. Above
this gorge, on the bench of the mountain,
a flume Is .being built capable of carrying
1,000,000 tons of eater a day for more than
ten miles to a cupacloua reservoir that will
stand nearly 900 feet above the river. From
this reservoir the water will be led to a
power house in the gorge In four steel
tubes, each four feet In diameter at the
top, and tapering to a five-inch nozxle at
the bottom. Tha stream nom eav.lt ilt
will turn a pair of huge impulse wheels.
The water will rush through the nozzle at
the terrlflo rate of nearly three miles a
ir.'.s'jte, er1 will look like a bur of solid
Ice. A heavy bar of Iron thrown against
It would be hurled away with frightful
force, and with the ring of a powerful
blow on an anvil. Were a strong man to
try to cut the solid stream with an axe,
the handle would be twisted from his grasp
with Irresistible force. From the power
house the electricity generated will be
transmitted to a transformer station, where
it will be adapted to the uses of the cities
of Seattle and Tacoma, respectively, twenty-five
and forty miles distant. It is pro
posed to eventually extend the service
from Mount Rainier to many (owns along
Puget sound. It is claimed that this is
the first utilisation of uiacler outflows for
the generation of power. While this is trus
of this country. It Is a matter of fact that
for the last fourteen or fifteen years, In
Switzerland, a large number of railways
and light and power 'plants have been
actuated by power derived from streams
produced by the melting glaciers, inclad
Uig those of Mont Blano Itself.

has been the largest and most conspicuous
of its kind, and from that point power is
transmitted by the Niagara Falls com
pany to Buffalo and other places, the ulti
mate capacity of the power houses being
50,000 horse power each. In addition to the
marvelous horse power utilized and sup
plied by this company a largo amount of
the Niagara current is employed in electro
chemical and electro-metallurgical opera
tions and In the extensive grain operations
carried on at Buffalo, and at the Buffalo
Dry Dock company, where forty motors
of upwards of BOO horse power capacity are
employed In the process of building some
of the largest steel steamships that ply
the great lakes.
But It la to the far west that we must
turn our attention to find the longest
power transmission In the world up to
the present time; that of San Francisco
and several other coast cities, from the
Sierras in eastern California and over a
distance nearly ten times that at Niagara.
Another wonderful feature of this work Is
that whereas the Niagara is a power se
cured from a fall of from 150 to 200 feet of
a huge volume of water, the large enter
prises In California depend upon the utiliza
tion of relatively small bodies of water,
but with fulls varying from 600 to 1,600 and
1,800 feet. This application of power has
relieved the strained conditions In many
of the mines, owing to a scarcity of fuel, I
and a large amount of miscellaneous work
throughout that state Is now tilhatary to
these long-distance transmissions, which
excel in daring, in number and In commer- ',
clal success anything attained in any other I
part of the world. I
The transmission of the power of the '
North Cuba river, In the Sierras, to San
Francisco, above referred to, stretches
across sixteen count lee. Tha systems have
two courses, one at Colgate, over 200 m.les
from the Golden Gate, and the other at
Electro, 160 miles distant, meeting on San
Francisco bay, at Mission San Jose and at
Oakland. The Colgate plant la located at
the base of a 1.600-foot hill. Water la
brought a distance of seven miles through
a timber flume capable of delivering 2J,
000 cubic feet of water per minute. Cur
rent is generated at 2,400 volts pressure an J
la t ty trar.ef?rwrs to jrnr of
40,000 and 63,000 volte and aa high as 80,00)
volts have been reached. This current is
carried across the Straits of Karqulnes in j

Talking Over the 'Phsse.
A telephone company that had been be
sieged with a great number of complaints
as to the faults of Its service sent out a no
tice to Its subscribers that the result of
whatever . additional effort It would be
willing to make to Increase the efficiency of
its plant and working staff would be
greatly enhanced if its customers would fry
to talk better over its lines. This Injunc
tion was followed by Instructions as to how
people should use the telephone. It wss
insisted that the first requisite is the proper
pose. The transmitter should be ss nesrly
vertical as possible, with the hearing fun
nel so adjusted thst It Is level with the
Hi when the head Is in the ordinary posi
tion for conversstion. The Hps should be
held about one Inch from the funnel and di
rectly opposite Its center. Instead of mak
ing the common mistake of shouting Into
the transmitter, the speaker should use a
tone only slightly above the ordlnsry con
versational pitch, speaking, in fact, as If
the person addressed were on the other
slds of the room. Above all, csre should
be tsken to talk slowly and to articulate
distinctly. The talker is further advised
to take plsoty of tune and naka a alight
pause at the end of every sentence. Thin
Is a great assistance to the many people,
and their number, so the telephone com
panies say, is very much greater than the
public has any idea of who are more or
less deaf. In many cases. It Is a further
help to comfort In telephone conversation
to allow a little time for the mental re
ception of the ideas conveyed, for It fre
quently happens that persons are prevented
by nervousness from being as quickly re
ceptive when listening on the telephone as
they are In ordinary conversation. Clear,
deliberate nnd reposeful telephone talking
Is worth cultivation, and by taking a little
trouble to learn the art many who are now
in .the habit of blaming the man at the
ether end of the line for his denseness will
come to realize that the fault has been
with themselves.
