- 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.

"For three years l.was troubled with
catarrh and blood disease. I tried sev

good. A friend told me of Hood's Sar

medicine and was as well and strong

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.
