As the committee does not w the right cf eminent domain can apply to such property as water pipes, laid underground, that for discu specialists in the ive submitted by the committee, which the space given to it and the complete elab- oration with which it is worked out is evideatly the T rred plan, is a new supply taken from the same source as the original supply oi the Dingee company, the gravel bed lying between Niles That bed reccives the spill of Alameda and Cala- veras creeks. water of the bay into the underground reservoir. This condition was observed in the Dingee water, | which was so full of caustic lime and other salts that | filled waterbacks in stoves with a deposit of min- eral matter. Perhaps the committee this phase of the question and finding it a negligible quantity dismissed eration of the legal issues involved. These seem to provide an abundance of hot water in the aqueous future of Oakland. The Spring Val- ley Water Company, by acquiring the riparian rights on Calaveras and Alameda creeks, has diverted their supply to San Francisco. It has put a dam on bed- rock near Niles, by which it is enabled to pipe the supply under the bay to San Francisco. The storm watérs continue to replenish the gravel bed, but the engineers differ as to the possibility of the diver- sion of all the water of the creeks at all seasons. It is admitted that if the Spring Valley Company can do this it can so deplete the gravel bed as to render it useless as an underground reservoir. In such case the committee recommends that legal proceedings may be taken against the Spring Valley Company t which will in effect bring the two cities into con- | It must not flict over their respective water supplies. be forgotten that in such a contest the Contra Costa Water Company, which now owns the Alvarado weils, will be an ally of Spring Valley, since the sink- ing of new wells in the gravel will tend to diminish its prior appropriation of the ground water. The committee estimates that Oakland may get a ground supply from that gravel at a cost of $3,500,- 000, or one-hali the value put upon the plant of the Contra Costa Company by judicial finding. The committee ad; ply of ground water is open to discussion, by dis- cussing it. Many cities in this country and Europe are cited which get their supply in whole or in part from ground water. Among these is London, but our recollection is that London pumped out the un- derground reservoir which was once thought suffi- cient for her needs. It is a fact, however, that all cities that can get an overground supply resort to ' it in preference to ground water. Birmingham went to the Welsh hills and Glasgow to the Trosachs. ‘While ground water is filtered free of vegetable mat- ter it dissolves and incorporates all the mineral salts found in the soil, and, as seems to have been demon- strated in the Dingee experience, in such situations as the Niles gravel bed is subject to admixture with | the denser salt water. p 1 The committee deserves great credit for making | the sanest and most businesslike report that has been offered upon a subject of widespread interest, and while its suggestions as to the source of a supply may not be valid, they open, fairly and well, the dis- cussion of alternatives, such as a resort to the abun- |dant waters of the mountain range, or the control of watersheds nearer at hand.

UILDING reports of the city of New York B for the past year are to the effect that the average cost of the private dwelling erected on Manhattan Island was in the neighborhood of $100,000. That is to say no houses were erected ex- cept for very rich people. Persons whose fortunes are below the millionaire rank may live in flats, or apartments, or hotels, or boarding-houses, or tene- ments, but they do not build houses of their own any | more. On this side the continent matters have by no means reached that point. We have still a large number of small houses erected every year as homes for persons of moderate means. Still even here the main tendency of the building boom is toward the construction of flats or apartment houses. A similar tendency can be doubtless noted in every other part of the country. Housekeeping is becoming a nuisance to an increasing number of people and, moreover, is yearly becoming more and more costly. There is required either a great deal of money or a great deal | of work' or a great deal of both to maintain a private house on anything like the scale of convenience and display that can be obtained in a well regulated apartment house or flat. So America is on the move and although it is moving slowly the progress is‘ steady. While the rich are maintaining private houses they ! can hardly be said to be maintaining homes. They have a town house and a country house, a villa by, the sea and a lodge in the mountains. From one to the other of these they flit as thg seasons change and fashion dictates. In neither place do they make a true home. Such seems to be the general rule with { the rich of New York. It is not so bad clsewhere | at present, but New York leads and the country fol- lows, so perhaps the time is not far distant when a similar condition of things will prevail even in Cali- fornia, where nature offers every inducement to home making and where nothing except artificial condi- tions tempt men to live otherwise than in homes oi | their own. | Artemus Ward once scored a great hit with the American people by saying *‘a man will fight for his home, but he won't fight for his boarding-house.” Were the humorist alive to-day he would have to change that saying or stand charged with being a pessimist. We are becoming a nation of “apartment dwellers,” but our patriotism and our pugnacity have not diminished. We know not the story of the cliff dwellers of the Arizora and the Colorado mountains, but doubtless they fought heroically for the preserva- tion of their lofty abodes high up on the precipices; and so we'shall fight for our elevated flats and rooms way up in the top stories of huge buildings. It will be a homeless age perhaps, but love and patriotism will live with undiminished vigor in our hearts. It may be that such prognostications are not wholly called for. California at any rate can show an in- creasing number of homes in all her cities and in all her counties. Still it is a notable and remarkable fact that in an American city during the course of a whole year not a single house was erected to setve as the home of a man who is not rich enough to be | rated as a millionaire. | William Jennings Bryan says he wants to have absolutely nothing to do with tropical agriculture. One would think that William Jennings, after the series of frosts from which he has suffered, would be willing to do with anything tropical. | | THE PANADUNGAN ROARS. HAT or who is a Panadungan? It is up to the American people to find the right answer to that question, and find it quickly or take | the consequences. A message has been sent to Amer- ican officers at Mindanao saying: Neither the Sul- tan of Bacalod nor the Panadungan wishes to be your friend. Within this month we wish war to begin. and if you do not wish it you are a lot of cowatdly rascals.” Further the note says: “If you do not| wish to go from here come to this place and the Sultan and the Panadungan will take care of you, | for you are a lot of hogs that eat hogs.” It wili be readily inferred from the note that the Panadungan is some kind of an unsocial creature that backs the Sultan up in his yearning for war, but what kind of a backer is he? Is he a pitcher or a catcher in the battery? Is he a priest, a banker, a necro-! mancer, a medicine man, a hypnotist, a syndicate, | a buildog or a brass band? We will have to fight the Panadungan or put him —or it—on the pension list. That much is evident, 50 it is j as well for us to set about finding what it is, what it wishes and what is the size of the sack it thinks it can get away with. The thing is having | a pernicious influence on the Sultan of Bacalod, and | unless something be done to restrain it there will | be trouble around those regions. W When we bought the Philippines we bought, acAi cording to Tom Reed, “10.000,000 of Filipinos at | $2 a head, unpicked.” We knew of course that we! would discover some rare birds in the covers, and accordingly when we found ourselves in possession of a small lot of Suitans with a variety of rajahs we were not surprised. We did not, however, count on getting a Panadungan, and ascordingly it is a sur- prise party that is now presented to us as a New | Year’s entertainment. | Mindanao dispatches tells us that the Sultan of Sulu continues to draw his pension regularly and to enjoy | it; that the Sultan of Uatobauto has shown himseli | cheerful, genial and friendly. It is probable they keep no Panadungans in their courts. Only Bacalod has a Panadungan, and Bacalod is for war. A com- mittee of investigation is imperative. The country can never be sure of peace while the Panadungan (is loose and the American people continue to eat | hogs. Measures have been taken to insure the construc- tion of more battleships for the American navy. It will not be long before the friendship of our European friends for us will be intensified and made glorious by that fear which contributes so materially to good feeling and good fellowship. There appears to be one thing upon which the Crown Prince of Saxony and his spectacular spouse agree absolutely. That is a mutual desire for divorce.

Hsi end Fei Chi Ho, the Chinese students whose exclusion by the Treasury Depart- ment has excited the interest of the mis- sionary world, have finally been admitted The authorities at Buffalo have been notified by Commissioner of Immigration Sargent to aliow the young men to enter that port, and they are now on their way to Oberlin College, Oberlin, O.. whither they were bound more than a year ago, when they landed at San Francisco and found themselves barred by the immigra- tion officials. Kung and Fei were brought to the coun try By Miss Luella Miner, the missionar: During the siege of the legation at Pe- king, it is said, they rendered valuable services to the foreigners. In recognition of this work Miss Miner made arrangements for their reception at Oberlin. When they landed at San Fran- cisco, however, it was discovered that they had no regular papers, They carried passports from Li Hung Chang, writ in Chinese, which wers rejected as irre- gular by the immigration officials. The the authoritics would make was to take bonds for the custody of the young Chinamen in San Francise pending the arrival of proper papers fi China. The papers did not come and Miss Miner spirited her wards out of the city to Da- kota. There they wére rearrested and sent back to San Francisco. Again the determired missionary left the city with them, and next appeared in the neighbor- hood of Toronto. The president of Ober- lin College made a special trip to Wash- ington to argue with the Secretary of the Treasury for the admission of the two Chinese. Under the law, however, they could not be admitted with the papers they then held, but as soon as the proper documents were received they were promptly released. PERSONAL MENTION. A.
