William Howard Taft in his address to the republicans of Virginia, who gath ered here to meet him today, appealed to t he " solid south ' ' to break away from the democratic column. He said: ' ' F very one having the interest of the country at heart would rejoice to have the solid south as a democratic in every national campaign broken up. It would be better for the states them- selves and for the countrv. The re- publican is not sectional, ' which fact the south always support the democrat- ic party would 'indicate. The South's Influence. "The reason that the south has such little influence in the executive branch of the government is that the south has always been used by the democracy, es- ! pecially by the northern democracy, as a I part of a plan to split the democratic party, therefore when the administra- j tion is republican it is not to be expect ed that it should summon to its oxpcu tive positions leading men in the oppos ing ranks in the south.

It is possible thai this can be stilt lowered so that a contract can be signed by the city with the Ameri can Light & Water company for the construction of the gravity water sup ply system. The amount available for the work totals $240,000, nnd it is the matter of getting down to this figure that is engaging the attention of both the committee and the contractor. Lowery to the Field. F. K. Lowery, the manager of the American Light & Water company, left this morning to go over the route of the new survey in order to determine whether it will be possible for him to shave his figures in any way so as to i-oine within the limit set by the com inittee of the council. Me will be gone for a few days and upon his return it is thought that it will be possible to dose a contract with htm. A number of matters hnvo been ad justed already, ho as to make the price of construct ion lower. The new line, while longer in length, will be subjected to a much lower pressure, so that wood en pipe may be used the entire dis tance, doing away with the steel pipe altogether. The amount of rock exenva tiou along the new route is also much less, effecting n saving there of at least $(000. Where the reservoior is to be located the formation is sandstone and the bid will be changed from figures submitted for excavating solid rock to a lower figure for doing the work in sandstone, These little matters all have to be adjusted in order that the con tract will not call for more than the amount specified by the committee as their limit. Length of the Line. By a curious coincidence the length of the line from the Little Butte creek to the site of the reservoir is the same in both surveys 0l!,O()O feet. There is. however, a difference of l.'l, Too feel in the distance required to bring the water from the reservoir to the corner of Seventh street and Roose velt avenue. This makes the new route approximately 2.7 miles longer than the first line run. While the route is longer, the pres sure on the line is much lower. One third of the entire distance, or ,t:i,000 feet, will have less than a 1oil foot head of water pressure. The greatest pres sure is slightly over a 300 foot pres this is only found for a distance of (1500 feet. Steel pipe will be required at no point in the line. Will Probably Get Together. With the contractor willing to make all t he concessions in his power and with the engineers shaving off corners wherever it is possible tit do so, there is but little doubt but thnt the limit will be met in some way or another. With the return of Manager Lowery of t he eont rue ting company the final points in the matter will be detenu ill el. Wasson Canyon. The latest reports from Wasson can yon, received this morning, are to the effect that there is at the present time inches of water flowing in the can yon. The rise from the lower amount recorded a week or ten days ago is due to the fact that there have been heavy fogs on the uplands from which the wa ter is d rained.

'BOB " EVANB REVISES TALE TOLD ON HIM NKW YORK, August 11 1. A special dispatch from Lake Mohonk brings the following story of Admiral Fvans: The other day a friend asked him: 4 ' Admiral, is t he re any truth thai after (lie battle of Santiago you called out from the bridge of the Iowa to a captain of another battleship: 1 Those Spaniards can 't fight a damned thing except water? ' ' ' Admiral Fvans laughed and said: " I will tell you what I really said nnd what the incident really was," he said. "One dri.zly day during the blockade we stood in toward t he harbor and shelled the shore batteries. It was not as exciting as it might have been, for whether we hit anything or not, I know the Spaniards did not quite come near us. After the Kindling was over a press boat lay alongside of my ship and a newspaper man asked if we had been hit. I shouted back: 'They didn't touch us. The Spaniards didn't hit anything except water, and t hey coudn 't have hit t hat if there wasn 't so damned much of it.

He said that steps would be taken against the outlaw state league and at the same t ime I he contest for the Pacific northwest territory will be tak en to the nut if inn I commission. Fwing believes the state league can be put out of commission by robbing it of its best players. He said, however, that men who are blacklisted by the Coast league would not be re-instated.
