Colonel Says That When
ever Tried Wooden Pipe
Has Proved of Little
Value-Should Have Steel
"l am very much surprised," snid
Colonel K. llofer, who cnjoyB tho rep
utation of being the greatest student
and booster in the state of the welfare
of tho citizens of Oregon, "thnt your
ousiness men are considering tho laying
of wood pipe for your water system.
I believe this to be a great mistake,
for when pipe is put in it should be
of steel. This is but what is taught by
the experience of other cities in this
state, and olHewhore. Tako Salem or
Mnrshfleld, for instance. Here wooden
pipe was laid only to be pulled out in
a fow years anil replaced with steel.
The wooden pipe rots out in n compar
atively short time; it becomes weaken
ed and bursts; and in every case where
it has been used it has been taken out.
I really believe it is a mistake to uhc
it.
"The price is another thing that is
to be considered. The price of steel
pipe like that of staple articles dues not
vary to any great extent from year to
year, and by looking at quotations, as
in t lie fa so in steel rails, one knows
at once what the price is. This is a
different mailer when wooden pipe is
considered. Here the prices vary, giv
ing a contractor a chance to make great
profits. And the pipe house will only
guarantee it. for a year.
"There is no doubt but that wooden
pipe mfs rapidly, ft is full of sap
and between the inside of tho flume
n-'Xt to the water, and the coat of tar
outside the wood gives way. T am not
an engineer, of course. T only speak
troin tho experience of other cities. Jf
I were n taxpayer here 1 would not
entertain wood pipe for a moment."
BODY REMOVED AFTER
BEING ENTOMBED A YEAR
SKATTLK, Wash., Oct. 2!). The body
f Herman Sund is lying in the morgne
t Nome today after its removal from
pall of ice and dirt in which it was
entombed for nearly a year, according
to dispatches received today. Sund was
believed hv hin friends tn have left for
Alaska for "The Ouside," and it was
not until his hat was found on n ledge
in the shaft of the Itainy Day claim
that a search was made for him. After
two attempts, the scare how discovered
t he body encased and preserved in
frozen sand and ice. The owner of a
u?arby shaft had been using tho old
old shaft as a storage pluce for his
provisions, oblivious of the proximity
of Sand's remains, (t is believed that
Sund committed suicide.

mer United States senator from New
York. Tho first time in Hoveral years
that Hill had appeared on u political
platform.
"They say there will bo n panic if
Brynu is elected," declared Hill. "If
there is any panic it will be a panic, on
the part of thousands of federal office
holders and public officials, who will
have to surrender their places to the
victorious party, and not a business in
terest panic."
Bryan had difficulty in quieting tho
crowd when lie arose to speak. II is
speech was a review of tho campaign.
lie laid special Htrcss on the publication
of contributions and Tuft's labor roc-
rd.
At Schenectady Bryan spoke to the
aiployes of tho loconiot ivo works of

IT IS WEALTH
AGAINST LABOR
So Declares Walter Well-
man Republican Mana-
qers Have Money
CHICAGO; Oct. litt. 'Another Bry
an scare running through tho country
has aroused the republicans and appa
rently insured Tuft's, election by a
small plurality," declared Walter Well
man in the Uecord Herald today.
"The most noteworthy font tiro of tho
closing days was tho rumor of Bryan's
strength. The first effect of tho ru
mor was tho sending of moro money to
the republican campaign malingers than
they ever dreamed of getting.
"The second effect has been to set
a considerable part, of the business in
terests against Bryan. Apathy among
business men has disappeared.
"Tho struggle has now become one
bei ween the republicans with wealth
and business interests as coadjutor,
against the democracy with organized
labor, or a part of it, and the employ
ed as tho chief auxiliary.
"With plenty of money on hand and
the business men discarding their pre
vious attitude of indifference, the Taft
leaders no longer fear (ho outcome, des
pite the probable loss of Ohio and In
diana." YOUNG WOMAN TAKES
