UPON the Declaration of Independence hit name may be read without spec tacles. It stand out the strongest, boldest, finest signature. In the most realistic sense John Hancock pledged life and fortune to finance the Revolution in its earlier stages. He held investments in banks, breweries, distilleries, stores, hotels, and owned a fleet of ships engaged in the rum, wine and oil trade. The seizure of one of them (for evading the revenue laws) precipitated the Boston Massacre. He was strong hearted, full of enterprise, patriotic and bold of spirit. Over many a foaming glass of Boston Ale and hot punch he often declared, "I glory in publicly avowing my eternal enmity to tyranny." REFERENCES: Hubbard's "T.lttln .Tourneys." n. 166-160.

Admiral Shepherd of the repatta hai presented each member of his staff with a handsome commission that is so nicely gotten up it will be preserved by each as a souvenir. The commission is printed on heavy white paper with a blue star In either corner. The head ing is "Vnlted States of America" and under It are the code signal flags read ing "Astoria expects every man to do his duty," an adaptation from Lord Nel son's famous signal flown during the battle at Trafalgar. DEMAND SALE OF CITY WATER BONDS AT ONCE, DECIDE ON PIPE LATER The Federated East fide rluhs unan imously resolved at a meeting last night to ask the council tr pass ;in or dinance making possible the immediate sale of the water bonds. It was the opinion of the clubs that the first thing to be settled is the financiering of the bond Issue and then it Is time enough to think about the material to be used. At the next mooting adherents of the different kinds of pipe lines will have experts to present the merits of each to the clubs and after a careful Investiga tion the big east side organiasatlon will determine upon what material It shall use Its influence for. Opinion was divided af the meeting of last evening, but sentiment seems to lean toward steel pipe. Dr. Raffety of the water board made a lengthy discussion on the value of steel as opposed to concrete pipes. In explaining his stand on the question Dr. Raffety said: V Hot Sure of Concrete. "As yet concrete Is an unproven quan tity In this country, ana arier careruny comparing it with steel I find that the latter is on the whole more satisfactory. Concrete makes a very good and durable OISAOUIEABLI AT KOKS. Lots of men- and women who are agreeable with others, get "cranky" at home. Its not disposition, Its the liver.

This would increase the cost to such a de gree that steel would be cheap by com parison. "Then when a concrete main breaks it is an extremely difficult matter to repair it. Wherever the foundation for tho concrete pipe is soft It is at a dis advantage when compared to steel, as the later will bemi while the former bears as much pressure as It can and then breaks. "One of the arguments against the metal conduit system is that It is im paired by electrolysis. Having studied the matter over 1 am convinced that this can be prevented by layintf the pipe upon a foundation of granite or siliconous formation. By doing this In sulation is obtained and electrolysis ob viated. "Where pipes run through clay or other soil that forms a conductor the electric current leaps through and leaves holes varying from the size of a gencll point to a half inch In diameter, ut wherever there Is such a piece of perioratea pipe it can do cut out and a new one substituted. This would make tne cost cheaper, too, than that of re pairing A break in a concrete main. Council Hnit Act Tlrrt. "Tho water hoard is being repeatedly asked why construction of the pipe line does not begin at once. I can say for the board that It is ready today to start work. We are only waiting for the council to act. Before ,any construc tion can go on an ordinance must first be paused authorizing the saler of the water bonds; these must then he sold and the money put to the credit of the water board. When this is done work will begin without further delay. "The city engineer will have a corps of assistants in the field tomorrow to complete plans for reservoirs and f;rade. By the time the council does ts share we will be able to proceed along the lines already mapped out by the engineer's office." In the course of the evening It was brought out by the speakers that the new reservoir will contain 126,000 000 gallons of water, more than doubling the present capacity. Speeches advocatlnr concrete were mane by Messrs. Resing, Davis and Hodges.' President Boise of the Feder ated clubs. Dr. William Deveny and Dr. Raffetv were the chief speakers for teel pipe The clubs decided to wait until further data Is secured before ap proving any particular kind of pipe. A resolution was passed Instructing the secretary to write to Manchester. Eng land, for Information with regard to concrete. This cltv carries water 60 miles through a concrete conduit sys tem. Bridge Committee Report. At the opening of last night's session the report of the bridge committee was received. This committee is composed of o. E. Heintz, Frank J. Perkins and F,. K. Rice. Three plans were submit ted and the tnlrd one recommenueu. This calls for a bridge having an ap proach on East Water street. The cost of bulldlne: here is estimated at $550, 000. Following is the report: "We, your committee appointed at your meetine held August IS, 1SKU. to ascertain if the proposed new Madison street bridge can be, built higher than its present elevation for the amount of tho authorized bond issue, beg leave to report as follows: "We find that so far there have been only three plans prepared by the bridge experts lor the following locations: "One from Hawthorne avenue to Jef ferson street. This location at Jeffer Bon street cannot be considered on ac count of the act giving authority to is sue bonds requires that the bridge be built at Madison street. "The second plan Is for a bridge from Madison street to llnwthorno avenue, with nn approach ninniriK to the west line of t'riion avenue which clears all the cai" tracks. "The third plan is for a bridge, the same as called for by the second plan with an approach running only to East Water street. It Is the same height, or 23 feet higher than the present bridge so that at some future time tho ap proach can be extended to I nlon avenue and clear all tho car tracks. Bids for Piers. The third plan, with an approach to East Water street on the east side is the only one, in the opinion of your committee, which can be considered, or built for anywhere near the amount of the proposed bond Issue. 'I he estimated cost of this bridge Is J55O.000. The plans call for a first class structure. It belnsr 60 feet wide, and the floor to be made of stone blocks on a concrete base. and the piers to he made of concrete and run down dcen ennuxh to secure a good foundation. In case the piers of the bridKe are changed to a grillage of tim bers on top of the piles, which will be similar to the piers constructed for the Morrison and the Burnslde bridges, the cost, as stated hv J H. C. Lockwood, will be $50,0( less than the estimated cost, which will bring the cost of the bridge down to $Siio,noo, or near the amount appropriated. "Bids can be received for both kinds of piers, and it will then be a question for the engineers to decide. If the bids in either case run oxer the amount of the bond Issue, we were Informed that the city council has the authority to make appropriations for bridges, and that body could make up the deficiency, If thev can be prevailed on to do so. We believe that the bridges over Sulli van's gulch were built under this au thority. Your committee did not have time to Investigate this thoroughly. Bell Bonds at Once. "It is further the opinion of your committee, after investigaation, that th bonds should be sold Immediately, if Dosslble and bids called for before busi ness revives in ti e east, as It Is prob able that we mav get our bridge for the 1460.000 o close to If.

Irene Hawley, alias Irene Duff, known throughout the United States as "Queen of the Pick pockets," is In jail today at Sparks after an exciting, escape from officers yesterday. The woman cleverly robbed a Sparks bartender of $90 and fled to Reno, where she was followed and arrested by Constable .Malay of Sparks. On a streetcar bound for the latter place j Malay missed a diamond pin and his ! wallet. He stopped the car and ordered ! a search, but while the hunt was in I progress his prisoner slipped out of j the car and lumped into an automobile standing near and started at breakneck speed for Sparks. Hearing of the runaway prisoner Dep uty Sheriff Maxwell of Sparks started toward Reno in an automobile to inter cept her. When Irene sighted the ap proaching officer, she Jumped from the speeding machine Into a pond and se creted nerself. The deputy kept on after the chauffeur. Later the fugitive was found at a road bouse and arrested. While at the police station undergoing search she slipped a diamond ring from the finger of an officer, but dropped it on the floor by accident afternoon on the Charmer, after having been 30 days overdue from Australia. Deputy United States Marshal Towle arrested the skipper as soon as the Charmer had dropped anchor and he put up a bond of J2.000 and was released soon afterward. The charge against Captain Killman is that he and officers of the West Coast Commercial company conspired to cheat the government out of a license tax on salted salmon In 1905. The gov ernment agents charge that Captain Killman. who was then skinner of the Agenor, sailed from Blind Point. Alaska, to Yokohama without having paid the license tax. Three days after the ves ! sel sailed, say the agents, every mem i ber of the company had disappeared. Captain Killman says he knows noth ing about the charges, as he was simply master of the ship. CALIFORNIA PEOUd" OF WEALTH INCREASE (United Press Leaaed Wire.) Sacramento, Cul., Aug. 26. According to a report by the state board of equal ization made public today the assess ment value of all property In the state for the year l!to8 Is $1,991,554,603. an increase over that of last year of $112. S9,1,6S. Suclr an Increase In one year shows that the assessed wealth of the state is rapidly approaching the two billion mark. The shpwlng Is regarded as remarkable In vlfew of the fact that California is just emerging from a period of financial Inactivity. In the last two years the combined total In crease has been $337,323,026. The state tax levy is regarded -aa particularly gratifying. It has been re duced from -iihi cents on $100 to 40 cents. The rate will bo formally rati fied at a meeting of the state board In September. India Imports sugar in great quan tities from Java.
