This bill we will not present to congress untll after the holiday recess, and the meetings 1 have mentioned have been held. We sincerely hope that con- gress will take some action on this mat- ter, and that as soon as bossible, for the reason that the 3600 salary aow pald is not sufficlent for a carrier to furnish horses, wagons, etc., and devote all of his time to the work. In conclusion President Cunningham sald that he had recelved advices from prominent people in Washington that the request of the rural carriers would be carefully considered by congress, and that there was a probabllity of an in- crease In wages all along the line among this class of federal employes. Faver 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 like to see this ordinance go through, as 1% would give the city the right to locate & number of fire hydrants. There has been & demand for several years for more hydrants in every ward in the city, and the increased number of bufldings 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 of more hydrants it 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 pald for these hydrants and the water used by the annulty promised in the orig- inal franchise ordinance. People who have erected homes outside of the hydrant dis- tricts say that they da not care whether an annuity Is paid or not—what they want is water—therefore, they favor this amended ordinance as the easlest way out of the diffculty. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Rural Mail Oarriers to Hold Conventions in All Parts o! Oountry, s PUSH THEIR CLAIMS FOR MORE SALARY o Be Invited to Atte &s and Hear What the Carriers Have to Ofter. The Rural Letjer Carriers’ assoclation continues td push its claims for recogni- tion by the government. President F. H. Cunningham of the national association stated yesterday that the assoclation would call a meeting soon in each con- gressional district where there is a rural service, and Invite the congressman repre- senting the district to attend. This meet- ing, Mr. Cunningham asserts, will be called during the holiday recess of con- gress, In order to permit every comgress- man to attend, in case he desires to do 0. 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 for more ay for the rural carrlers, tinuing on this subject, President Cun- ningham said: hy.. | hnlv- now three bills which have al- ready been intriduced advocating more pay for the rural carriers. One bill calls for an advance in salary of $100 a year, ‘while another asks for an increase of $300 per annum. We have prepared our own bill ssking (that the maximum be placed GOLD MEDAL Curved Rat on are engaged now teel curve rals at Twenty- fourth and L. streets for the Missouri av- enue car line. When this track was first lald the switches and ralls 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 proposed 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 L street. The laying of the heavy steel rails and the new switches as- sures the people now that the L street and the Missour! avenue line wil stay. Miss Clark Satisfled. Buperintendent McLean of the public schools recelved a letter yesterday from Miss Della Clark, dated Moorcroft, Wyo., in whick she states that she is delghted with her new position. Miss Clark 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 is paid 340 & month and her board furnished. She says she has twenty-five puplls, but not enough books to go around. Miss Clark says sha likes the people there and is con- tent to teach during the term of her con- tract, Advertising Boundas. A week or 80 ago the city council author- ized the mayor and city clerk to advertise in the Omaha Dally Bee for the sale of #1000 refunding bonds, running twenty years and bearing § per cent interest, the interest 10 be pald semi-annually. The at- tention of the city officials was called yes- ierday By & boad buyer 1o the fact that two eastern bond buyers are now advertis. ing these bonds for sale in eastern financial papers. Not a single bid for these bonds has been recelved, as the bids do not close until 8 p. m.," November 23. City officials think an effort is being made to sell this issue In the east before making a bid for the bonds. These same tactics were em- ployed by some eastern brokers about three years ago. Reduelng Street Force. Mayor Koutsky has ordered the regular street repalr force to be reduced to two men. This was done yesterday. These two men are pald at the rate of 2 cents an kour and work eight hours each day. Their duty just now is to look over side- walks, nafl down loose planks and in places were planks are missing fill in dirt enough to make the walk even. By doing this it is thought a number of damage suits can be prevented. City Engineer Beal 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 are, contemplated this year.

The spectacular idea of developing elec- tric power from the glaciers of the north- west 18 nearing 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 d-ip from the lcy fields of the Rainier peak that rises in the southwest corner of ths state of Washington to a height of 165,000 feet. ‘The sources of supply are practically unlimited, for the sixteen great glaclers, 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 coplous water supply that the engineers are now taking steps to secure before it has escaped far down the mountain side. For the present, the development is to be limited to 20,00 horse power. A dam is being erected on the Puyallup river, which drains five of the sixtegn glaclers of the mountain, Below this point the river drops rapldly into & deep canyon. Above this gorge, on the bench of the mountain, a flume is .being bullt capable of carrying 1,000,000 tons of water & day for more than ten miles to a capacious reservolr that will stand nearly %0 feet above the river. From this reservolr the water will be led to & power house in the gorge in four steel tubes, each four feet in diameter at the top, and tapering to a five-inch nozzle at the bottom. will turn a pair of huge impuise wheels. The water will rush through the nozzle at errific rate of nearly three miles a te, and will look like a bar of solid lce. A heavy bar of iron thrown against it would be hurled away with frightful force, and with the ring of & 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, whe it will be adapted to the uses of the cities ot Seattle and Tacoma, respectjvely, twen- tv-five and forty miles distant. It is pro- posed to eventually extend the service from Mount Rainier to many towns along Puget sound. It is claimed that this is the first utilization of wlacler outfiows for the generation of power. While this is true of, this country, it is & matter of fact that for the last fourteen or fifteen years, in Switzerland, a large number of rallways end light and power ‘plants have been actuated by power derived from streams produced by the melting glaciers, includ- ing those of Mont Blanc itself.
