Phone Main 82. - A TEXAS ENCYCLOPEDIA. E HAVE Just received a copy Wof the Industrial edition of the San Antonio, Texas, Express. It contains 144 pages, every one of which is brimful of in formation about Texas in general and Ban Antonio in particnlar. We would like to say something about the things la that paper, but to do it justice would require 144 pagos and tho same mat tor reprinted. This issue of the Capital Journal could scarcely hold tho head lines, and one suroly has to sit up and punch his imagination to grasp even a faint idea of the facts. Here are a few things that will give one some idea of the State and of San Antonio. From northwest to southeast the state is 825 miles long and east to west 700 miles. It eontains 205,780 square miles anl is three times as largo as Oregon, l'Ii times as large as Pennsylvania; would hold 32 states like MassachusettB or 242 like Rhode Island. It is one-fourth larger than the German empiro and twice tho size of the Kingdom of Eng land, Ireland, Scotland and Walos, It had a population at the last census of of 3,806,542, and its growth has been so phenomenal that it is far above the 4,000,000 mark now. In 1010 it had P,000,000 cattlo, 2,000,000 sheep, 3,500, 000 swino, 1,309,000 horsos and 702,000 mulos. These are a few of tho things about the stato, but ji.st nnto thoso of San Antonio, and remember thoy are but a small snmplo of the thousand as tounding things of tho big Industrial edition of which the Express tolls. In lillO San Antonio lm.l a population of flfi(fll4, an.l Its city diroctory, recently completed, shows it now has 10R,000. It is tho supply and distributing point for a torritory greater than the New England slntos with Now York atldod. It is tho main gntowny to all of Mexico, and is on throe great commercial high ways. It has 453 manufacturing plnnts producing last year products valued at $3.1,507,240, and tho annual pay roll of these is tl,lfi5. Its illustrations show that its build ings aro magnificent both in size anil construction Mid it is building the high est building in tho world, the Alamo Heroes monument, which will be 802 foot high, with search light on top which will bo seen from tho Gulf of Mexico, nearly 200 miles distant, But why try to loll! Tho temptation to re pent a few of tho thousands of things told is grcitt, fur none outside of Texas, and probably few within it, realize a fraction of tho stnto's greatness. The Kan Antonio Exprcns edition should bo in tho liamls of everv intelligent Am erican, to glvo him a sort of hunch ns to tho greatness of our country. Wo none of us realize it. None, In fact, realize) tho greatness of, their own state until soma meanly newspaperman comes along and tolls their attention to things. The writer confesses, and would blush while doing so, If that were permissi ble to the profession that ho knew nothing of Kan Antonio, only in a sort of perfunctory way that it was "on the map down In Texas," ami had rail load and t 'legruph c'i!iimui(i utiou with tho outsiil ) world. He knows more now though ho has only glanced hurriedly through this magnificent industrial edi lion of tho Pnn Antonio Kxpress. When ho goes on vnultiou this summer he In tends taking everyone of those 114 page along with him, and nliwrli a few of tho wonderful filets about our big sister sl.ile. He has learned enough though to compel the lifting of h's hat to tho big state of Texas, and to lift It again to the enterprise anil ability that compiled that Iniincii.ie volume nf in formation, s renl encyclopedia of Toxat and presented It as a single number of a daily uim'hpaper. IS I Receives Telegram From Senator Cham berlain Telling His Appointment Is Confirmed. August Huckestein received a tele gram last night from Senator Cham berlain, telling of the confirmation of his appointment to the Salem post mastership. Senator Chamberlain also sent congratulations to Mr. Hucke stein. Mr. Huckestein's appointment was made some time ago, but only yester day was his appointment confirmed by the senate. He will take over the du- Years of Suffering Catarrh and Blood Disease -Doctors Failed to Cure. Miss Mabel P. nawkins, 1214 Lafay ette St., Fort Wayne, Ind., writes: "For three years l.was troubled with catarrh and blood disease. I tried sev eral doctors and a dozen different rem edies, but none of them did me any good. A friend told me of Hood's Sar eaparflla. I took two bottles of this medicine and was as well and strong as ever. I feel like a different person and recommend Hood' to any one suf fering from catarrh." Oet It today In usual liquid form or chocolated tablets called Sarsatabs The commercial clubs of Dallas, In dependence and Rickrtall visited Falls City Tuesday night, going in a special train and taking the famous, Dallas band along. It was just a great big county get-together meeting. Journal Want Ads Bring Result. FOR LOWER WATER RATES. THE PERSISTENT agitation of The Capital Journal has -borne good fruit, and this whatever tho final outcome may be, for It has awakened tho eity council men to the importance of the city wa tor question and to the necessity of gotting relief from excessive charges. As the Capital Journal has frankly stated it has no means of Information that would permit even a suggestion as to what water rates should be charged, that would be reasonable in tho case. But the city council in passing tho matter up to the railroad commission has done a wiso thing, for undor exist ing conditions that is tho only body that can get at the true Inwardness of tho situation and arrive at a just de cision. To do this, to establish rates fair to the company and just to the consumer, requires a knowledge of the Actual value of the plant; what it has cost; what it has returned to its own ers and tho amount thoy should re ceive as fair returns on thoir invest ment. Salem pooplo have no desire to get something for nothing; no inten tion of doing Injustice to tho Salom Water Company or any other. They expect to pay a fair and remunerative price for tholr water or anything else they got, but thoy expoct to pay only this, , and tho council has tukon the proper stops to got this matter settled, and a fair price agreed upon. It may bo so far ni- tho Capital Journal knows that tho pricos charged for water, yield now only a fair roturn on the money invested. Wo say this may be, but wo do not bolievo such is tho case, nor will wo beliovo it until it is demonstrated boyond all possibility of' doubt. Wo do know that tho water rates aro great er than tho peoplo should bo called upon to pay. Whon a family is com pelled to pay moro for its wator than it does for its bread, there is somothing wrong with tho water bills. Thuro are not less than 3000 families in Salem paying on avorage of $2 a month, or 24 a year for water. This would give tho company an income from this source of 8)72,000 yearly, and this added to income from other sources will mnke tho total at least 4100,000 yearly, This is of courso only an esti mate, but it Is a conservative one, and wo beliovo tho facts will show that Sa lem pays for its water about $125,000 a year. However, this will all be threshed out by the railroad commis sion. At tho sumo time It Is well for tho council to see that tho city is prop erly represented in tho examination and that its interests aro carefully guarded. Legal help ihould bo given the city attorney in tho investigation. It would cost something, but it would lie money well expended. Tho council has taken hold of tho matter, and will have the hearty backing of the ontiro community in its effort to get a reduc tion in water mtes. Money expended in getting legal help to protect tho city's itorcts will cause no quarrel or criticism by taxpayers, for they as we have said, expect to pay for what they get. They are behind the council, a solid unit in this matter, and the coun cil will find them willing and auxious to hold up its hands, and assist It in every way. The council has done the eminently proper thing, and has the commenda tion of eviry one in Salem. August Huckestein. ties of the now position about June 1. Mr. Huckestein has been in Salem since 1889. He has been a candidate on the Democratic ticket twice, and, although failing to be olected, made a splendid showing. As a member of Sa lem's city council, Mr. Huckestein did some good work. He was always an ar dent champion of any plan that would mean good for Salom, and he took a livoly interest in all matters pertain ing to the city anil its welfare.
