D. Clarke, en gineer of Portland water bureau, wno Is urging that water services here be metered.' Mr. Clarke has made a thorough study of the problem and says water meters are necessary to curb waste, maintain high pressures, provide fir protection, provide an equitable dis tribution of water and stop water shortage. . ; . ' According to the figures compiled by Mr riark there were 94.960 water services supplying 643,810 residents in Boston In 1908. At that time only 380 meters were In use or only 6.7 per cent of all services was metered. The daily consumption under that sys tem was 93,379,300, or 153 gallons per ' capita. By 1913 the number of services had grown to 101,100 with 40.7 per cent of them metered. - The population had increased to, 726,973 but because of the installation or meters the daily con surlrption had dropped, by the ellmina tion of unnecessary waste, from 93,. J78.300 gallons to 1908 to only 79,391, 600 in 1913. The daily per capita, con sumption dropped from 153 to 108 gal lons.' - i f : : : "In" my study of the problem say Mr. Clarke, "I find that the most pro gressive -engrlneera of . the country favor the use of meters, and the water work engineers adopt the, meter pol-i ley wherever possible. - I 'I think it Is perfectly proper that periences of other-cities. - Mr. , Clarke quotes from- the reports of the water bureau of . East ' Orange, N.. J to show that the meter system Is working satisfactorily there. The following: "i from the. engineer of the water byreau of that cityj ' "We are making more money with meters, although we have only 26 per cent metered, than we were with the old flat rates, i Seventy per cent of our people who were on the flat rates and now have j meters are saving mrmv a n H fhi-r1tv la amm rim. , -J . - .HUig account out of the other 30 per cent. . "The consensus . of opinion among water worksengineers is so' markedly in favor -of the contlnued.use of meters as a necessary adjunct to the success ful operation Uoif vany V; water . works plants, that I have no hesitation in advocating: -their "use in Portland, whlcrj I tTust may be fully authorized at an early date." " Anthony P. WlldJag. : London, May l.-1 The latest' noted athlete to be killed in action. in the European war is Anthony F. "Wilding, probably the greatest tennis player that ever lived. He fell In the hot fighting on the Dardanelles at the head of the Royal marines, of which he was second lieutenant. Wilding was the former tennis champion ot Great Britain, holding the title in 1910, 1911. 1912 and 1913. $ . Wilding first came into Davis cup prominence in : the tennis world as a member of the-Australasian team that was beaten in 1906 by Ward and Little. He has played ' in six Davis cup tour naments, emblematic of the world's championships' , In tennis. Last year Wilding and N K.

Wilding of New Zealand, former tennis cham pion of Great, Britain, who was killed fighting the Turks in the Darda nelles.

He was the greatest player ever developed, and one of the finest sportsmen that ever handled s racquet. There was never a fairer athlete and from what 1" have read of his last battle, It is easy to see that he went to his death as gallantly as he went Into Important matches, always Just to his opponent, playing the game on the level and fighting to the last."

Were the local consumption the sole factor, merchants declare it would be an easy matter for this port to claim her own, regardless of competing ports. It is because of the through ship ments, however, that the railroad In fluence is felt. On the north, the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Milwaukee have transcontinental trunk lines into Puget sound. On the. south, the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe have direct lines into San Francisco. The Union Pacific system ! ha the only, direct, transcontinental line into Portland with the Spokane, Portland & Seattle, owned Jointly by the Jforthern Pacific and Great Northern, running a line from Spokane through the Inland empire. These factors, combined with the In difference to Portland of large local operators who also nave Interests on Puget sound, have kept Portland In the. background.

Nathan Strauss, member of the firm of Fletschner-, Mayer & Co., wholesale! dry goods merchants, is, not one of I those who holds back. 'He believes, that Portland is entitled to the pres-1 tlge her geography has given her. If j direct steamship lines cannot be brought here at this time, he declare the importers should at least insist that their goods be cleared at this port, that the tariff duties be . paid here rather than at some other port under the customs provisioa that goods may be shipped in bond to the point of clearance. "It has alwaya. been the practice of this company to have all Imports cleared here when we have the control of the shipment," declared Mr. Strauss. "We have found it of more ex peditious and in every way more de sirable from a strictly business stand point, even ignoring the added Import ance given the port by such a practice. "We have found that we get better service through this port. Somehow there doesn't seem to be the annoy ance and red tape that is experience! In dealing with distant ports." -. Frank E.

' "The journal is on the right track. said Mr. Smith. "It shall have all the backing the chamber can give it." B. E. Lipplncott, a customs broker, with offices in : the Concord building, is one of the men who has seen : the business of this port aecline through the. Influence of rival cities and the domination of railroad lines that con trol steamship lines. . "It is wrong to allow these things to continue," he declared today. "I have a personal interst, of course, because I want the brokerage here. But aside from that, from business and patriotio motives both, this port should have the business, .' .- " .t -; "It costs in brokerage about three times as much to clear imports In New York than If they were shipped in bond to Portland. I know that because I have checked it over with importers many times. The broker, In New York, for Instance, charges enormous fees for cartage from the steamship dock to the railroad terminal. As a matter of fact, the steamship companies absorb these . charges, but many Importers don't know it. Other charges,' such as postage,, notary work, extras of all kinds, go into make up the difference, "With a down bill haul to the sea, with an open, river and all enormous tributary country.
