ENGINEER LEWIS' REPORT Facts Concerning Public Utilities With Which Citizens Should Make Themselves Familiar Anaheim, Cal., March 14, 1905 To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, Gentlemen: In compliance with your request for a report as to what changes were necessary to improve the municipal water works and electric light plant I would respectfully offer the following, as being, in my opinion, the most economical plan, although of considerable first cost. Improvements and repairs could be made at small cost that would provide for the present shortage in water and light but would be of only temporary relief and would gain nothing in economy. The demand for water has been such that the present mains are too small to supply consumers with water at sufficient pressure during the evening hours, when the largest amount of water is being drawn. By laying a six-inch main from the tanks to Lemon street and thence on Lemon to Center, connecting with the present main at that point the capacity of the system would be about doubled. There should be four-inch mains laid as follows: On Broadway from Claudina to Olive. On Center from Olive to Santa Fe de- WHAT IS CATARRH? Hyomei Cures this Common and agreeble Disease. Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple method of breathing it into the passages and lungs. It kills the germ of catarrhal poison, heals and soothes the irritated mucous membrane, ters the blood with the oxygen, kills the germs present there, effectively driving this disease from the tem. If you have any of the following symptoms, catarrhal germs are at w somewhere in the mucous membrane of the nose, throat, bronchial tube tissues of the lungs. offensive breath dryness of the nose pain across the eyes pain in back of the head pain in front of the head tendency to take cold burning pain in the throat hawking to clear the throat pain in the chest a cough stitch in side losing of flesh variable appetite low spirited at times raising of frothy mucous expectorating yellow matter difficulty in breathing frequent sneezing Hyomei will cure the disease, troy activity of all germ life in the piratory organs, enrich and purify blood with additional ozone, and a few days use of this treatment majority of these symptoms will disappear. In a few weeks they will be complete. Catarrh or catarrhal colds can exist when Hyomei is used. This strong statement, but W. B. Hutson emphasizes it by agreeing to reyour money if Hyomei does not cure Tartaric Acid Product Santa Rosa, March 20.—For men everywhere interested in grape industry have been trying solve the problem to find the method of removing cream of tartaric acid from the grape. water is being drawn. By laying a six-inch main from the tanks to Lemon street and thence on Lemon to Center, connecting with the present main at that point the capacity of the system would be about doubled. There should be four-inch mains laid as follows: On Broadway from Claudina to Olive. On Center from Olive to Santa Fe depot. On Adele from Los Angeles to Olive. Several fire hydrants should be placed on these lines From 2000 to 5000 feet of two-inch pipe should be laid to supply parties desiring city water. On account of the decayed condition and also on account of the small height of the present tank frames, I would advise the erection of a 60-foot steel tank, the size to depend upon the number of hours the lighting plant was run during the day of 24 hours. The water in the wells being so far below the surface makes it difficult and expensive to raise with the present steam pumps, therefore I would suggest the use of deep-well pumps driven by electric motors. If the deep-well pumps were not considered suitable for fire pressure the Deane pump could be erected on the surface and connected in such a way that it would draw from the deep-well pumps and the tank at the same time and discharge into the mains giving greater pressure on the mains than is possible with the pump at the bottom of the pit, as at present. The new tank frame should be erected at the rear of the lot and a new building erected covering the present boilers and extending towards the street to provide for a new lighting plant. The present plant has been in use from nine to eleven years and with some repairs and additions could be used for a number of years more but it would be more economical to replace it with new apparatus entirely. The present dynamos are single phase 125 and 133 cycle machines and this type is Tartaric Acid Production Santa Rosa, March 20.—For men everywhere interested in grape industry have been trying solve the problem to find the method of removing cream of tartaric acid from the grape. Percentage of acid was so small the process of separation so effective that the acid has almost been precious. A day or two ago, some scienmen came here from one of the iiversities to see Luther Burbank regard to the problem. A prize of $25,000 for the best and feasible solution was offered time ago. Burbank's opinion not asked in the matter of the however. Burbank told his viewers that there will be "no reason grapes cannot be bred that yield tartaric acid alone." He stanced giving to the world those sugar prune. and how it been possible for him to inject the fruit saccharine matter enso that when the prune is dried half sugar. So, in the matt grapes, the sourest variety, as as the sweetest, can be producethe breeding of the varieties. present boilers and extending towards the street to provide for a new lighting plant. The present plant has been in use from nine to eleven years and with some repairs and additions could be used for a number of years more but it would be more economical to replace it with new apparatus entirely. The present dynamos are single phase 125 and 133 cycle machines and this type is out of date and not suitable for power. The engines are of the simple high speed type of low first cost but extravagant in the use of steam. In increasing the plant engines should be selected with a view to efficiency, rather than first cost, and to provide for this I would suggest installing Corliss engines belted to the dynamos, or high-speed tandem compound engines direct connected to the dynamos, and two dynamos of from 70 to 120 K.W., 60 cycles. A new boiler of the same size as preset boilers would also be required. The heater in use at present, while being one of the best makes, is much too small for the work required and should be replaced by a larger one. A summary of the suggestions would be the following: 1000 feet 6-in castiron water pipe, 3000 feet 4-in castiron water pipe, 2000 to 5000 feet 2-in screw pipe, six to eight fire hydrants, one 60-foot steel tower with steel tank, three deep-well pumps with motors, two dynamos, two engines, one boiler, one heater, one brick building. This, with the necessary piping, fittings, labor, etc. would cost approximately fifty thousand dollars. Respectfully submitted, A. L. Lewis. BUYING RUBIES IN BURMA. Srips and Signs Used In Bargaining For Precious Stones. The peculiar business methods of oriental merchants are illustrated by the manner of buying rubles in Burma, says the Jewelers' Circular Weekly. In the examination of rubles artificial light is not used, the merchants holding that full sunlight alone can bring out the color and brilliancy of the gems. Sales must therefore take place between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and the sky must be clear. The purchaser, placed near a window, has before him a large copper plate. The sellers come to him one by one, and each empties upon this plate his little bag of rubles. The purchaser proceeds to arrange them for valuation in a number of small heaps. The first division is into three grades, according to size. Each of these groups is again divided into three piles, according to color, and each of these piles is again divided into three groups, according to shape. The bright copper plate has a curious use. The sunlight reflected from it through the stone brings out with true rubles a color effect different from that with red spinels and tourmalines, which are thus easily separated. The buyer and seller then go through a very peculiar method of bargaining by signs, or, rather, grips, in perfect silence. After agreeing upon the fairness of the classification they join their right hands, covered with a handkerchief or the flap of a garment, and by grips and pressures mutually understood among all these dealers they make, modify and accept proposals of purchase and sale.

One of HYPOCRITE AND VILLAIN. The Gentle Terms a Playgoer Once Applied to Forrest. A number of professional men were exchanging reminiscences of Edwin Forrest, the great tragedian. One of them told the story of Forrest's experience in the west, which was not only of interest in itself, but also a tribute to the art of the actor. The play was "Virginius," and Forrest was at his best. In the scene where he slays his daughter the audience was almost stricken with awe, and not a sound was heard until the scene was concluded, after which the artist was greeted with overpowering applause. In the following act Virginius comes on the stage looking worn and distracted. The reaction has set in, he is frenzied over the loss of his daughter, and he walks up and down, crying out: "Virginia, Virginia! Where is my child?" An old miner, who occupied a front row in the orchestra and who had been terribly wrought up by the murder scene, could stand this no longer and, arising in his place, shouted out in loud tones, freighted with intense indignation: "Why, you old villain, you killed her in the market house in the last act. You know it well enough. You are a hypocrite as well as a villain." The laughter and applause that greeted this unexpected turn in the performance made it necessary to ring down the curtain.—Harper's Weekly. The Blameless One. Mrs. Colburn removed her outer garments and seated herself with a thud in her rocking chair in the front window. "I declare, I never saw such a gadder as that young woman the minister married in all my life!" she said jerkily as she ran her darning ball down into the heel of Mr. Colburn's gray stocking. "I can't go over to Miss Deacon Graves' of an afternoon or down to the store in the morning that I don't either find her there or see her, coming or going, three times out o' five! "She's an awful starer, too," continued Mrs. Colburn, pulling at a knot in her darning cotton till it broke and her elbow flew back against the sharp edge of the table. "I can't look over at her front window but what she turns her above picture of the fish became extinct in a world-wide calamity the oil that comes over surpasses all other fishing and life-giving threats. Thirty years ago, doctors of Scott's Emulsion used a way of preparing oil so that everyone can get the full value of without the objectionable Scott's Emulsion is the world for weak children, thin, delicate and all conditions of health lost strength. Not Humility of Spirit. A young preacher in an uptown church was much struck one Sunday by the seeming effect his sermon was having upon one of his congregation, a shabby genteel man with white hair who throughout the entire discourse sat with head bowed in deeply reverent attitude. After the service the minister pushed his way to the man and proudly said: "I am glad to note that my sermon affected you. Did it make you see the error of your ways?" "Oh, it wasn't that," said the man sheepishly. "You see, my waistcoat is too short, and I had to bend over to hide my shirt."—Cleveland Leader. A Tramp's Problem. A tramp having found a hen's feather in his travels about the city kept it until night, when he carefully placed it on the pavement in a back alley and slept upon it. Awaking next morning and looking scornfully upon the bit of down, he exclaimed: "Gee whiz! If one feather is as hard to sleep on as that, what must a whole bedful be?"
