In ; our opinion ' the committee on the new railroad, consisting of Messrs. J. B. Blades, Harry Green leaf, W. L. Baxter, E. F, ;Aydlett, M. N. Sawyer,-;Thos. , G. . Skinner and Edmund Alexander, whose purpose is to thoroughly " investi gate the matter, have-not allowed any; time to waste but : have " gone directly to work on the matter. A meeting was held at the latter's office on Tuesday morning. The committee, organized and ap pointed H. T. Greenleaf to make surveys and estimates of, cost of rights of wav and construction of the . track, " docks, etc., -by two routes. 1st Beginning near ' Bax- ir s coia storage plant - and pro ceeding thence to the Zimmerman property on the . river. 2nd. - Be ginning - at the- same place and proceeding south along the edge of the city to' the rrotertT. of theRver: View Lumber Company. , Mr. Greenleaf is to make' his report to a call meeting of committee next Monday night the SHOULD DEfiSAND CASH. An exchange aptly says:" "The newspaper has, two sources of incomespace and circulation. The circulation comes from the management and brains of " the newspaper. The advertising is a result of the circulation and is the heavy source of income. When ever an individual; of society or a company gets notice that is of benefit the mention has a market value and should be paid" for, but too often the press is expected to give tlie . space j for 'a- complimen tary ticket and if it is an enter tainment go and write it up and puff the people who take part .when oitentimes-they should be roasted. if newspaper men would demand cash" for their-space, the -public would pay it and be well satisfied. lhis is well said. - It is too fre quently the case that "a newspaper t expeciea to -give space - to a mention of some local enterprise, as if sx)ace hi a newspaper had no value. ' -" - - ' . . - Intelligent -business men.-have long since, conceeded the value of newspaper space, and with it men have "made money through " adver using. - Advertising has become part of the necessary expenditures of a business, and hasgiven better results in many instances than, any other source of expenses. Frequently advertisers come to this ofBce and " give the rates o other local papers;-as if such were a standard of value to . be placed upon space in thp Tak Heel. - This paper has its "established rates 4 those rates . are the same to auiv. xliis paper ' has no interest in other papers--of this city nor qoes it care what their rates are Advertising rates 'are based, on circulation; And since - this paper has fifteen hundred " readerSj and obtained too in less than five months, it's space is more valuable than that of other papers '.of 'this town, not' one- of ' which has circulation approaching that of the TaeHefx. ,' - -j- ' - . " " HOW LAWS AN D SCIENCE CAN ABATE J MANY OF THEM. - The, Soft Coal, Garbase and ffolae . Problems Cblioea - Instead ol Cbnrcb Bells-How the Nolae ol Trsvffle Could Be Reduced. - " Closely akin td'the" Improvement' of the streets is the abatement of certain "nuisances which are-1 the natural out growth of lusty and unrestricted urbai life."-While large constructive schemes 'can only be carried put in tbe course of many years, a vast Improvement in urban conditions can be achieved slm . ply by restrictive "measures First.of all , naturally .-comes - the ..question of smoke. The problem is rather new for some cities, because.it is "only of late years -that bituminous coal has been used to an objectionable extent Ten years ago "a, fall of snow woull lie fresh and unsullied for weeks. Now it becomes dingy almost Immediately, "a simple test of the change. ,r : ' ' There has been a commendable pub lic concern in the-matter, and the whole question has been thoroughly debated, but the subject .must not be allowed to drop. The Insidious advan ces of the soft coal nuisance, must be met as far as possible, - with the hops , that mechanical science " will " before long give a complete relief., - In the meantime there must ' be ' a jealous watch - for ra uy -. pollutionpf - tbe afr. ;Ther are practical, smoke consumers. and the laws are adequate to the case. It Is only necessary to see; that they are strictly enforced. . - ;. . --- Another problem that" the present 'century must solve is that of river pol lution, 'i Tbe time, is not ripe for action yet but it Is not unlikely that in a few years an efficient and practtcarme'tliofl of destroying refuse of 'all kinds wil. be available, and every city .should bt prompt to adopt It. . There is. not cuse for ma king open sewers of out rivers, and tbe reform is one to keet constantly in view; . Sight . and smelt are :- not the dnlj I senses that need to be propitiated. ; II has been - shown: by . medical; sclenct that the nervous strain of city life Is In large, measure, perhaps, chiefly, dm -to the distraction' of city noises.? Only by an occasional flight to the ineffabh peace of the real: country, where the whir of the trolley Is never beard and the silence of eventide descends like a palpable thing, can the- citizen appre ciate, the nervous strain .brought by In cessant and multitudinous -- noise. Now, much of this jangle Is absolutely . preventable, - and its survival is a bar barlsm. Tbe municipality can contrib ute first of all by eliminating Intention al noise which is disturbing to the peo ple. " . . , " - In considering sounds that are to bt regulated rather than abolished one - naturally "thinks of bells, r There are many who have a detestation- of bells and would offhand abolish the tradi- - tional: Sunday morn Lag . pea! and. let worshipers go by their clocks, as peo ple do when going to a concert or a play. Now, It may be freely admitted that : the average ' church . bell . has nc tonal beauty to commend it to any ear. It is harsh, clamorous and out of tune. But a reaHy fine chime is quite another thing. ...No one who has heard tbe peal from a famous cathedral, say Antwerp, or in some of the smaller Italian towns, whose chimes Mrs. Meynell has so-beautifully described, can easily for get tlie effect. Hardly any one thing" seems so well tolvea city an atmos phere of its own. ; The peculiar charm of the bells hangs over the whole place and is inseparable In memory. We have more than enough bells. W need to substitute quality for quantity. Here , is - a need which well deserves the attention of people who would k well by- their city. A first rate chime. with the sweet mystery of softly voic ed and perfectly tuned bells, is expen sive and not easy to get. evenwith the money in ha nd, but the possession ot such a treasure Is enough to make any city proud.- Let .us In the meantime lighten the labors of our common, rau cous,' workaday bells which, disturb and give no compensating pleasure. ' - More difficult - and yet nltlmatelj feasible is the reduction of the noise ol necessary " traffic. Here paving is ac important factor: in the problem, and when there Is an even choice hetweer two kinds of paving material, as brlct and wood ,or asphalt, the- less noisy should" be chosen. Reasonable care car do much to eliminate. the most offen sive noise.- For example. no teamstei has a morgl right to drive through the public streets with a rattling truck, ev ery .individual ' piece of which makes -noise enougTt to wake the dead.:: It is a simple matter of mechanics to' get rid of such 'shiftless "noises,, and the city has a -right to insist that it should be done, while the noise of tertaln kinds of trucking,' such as ironware, can be dispensed with by careful packing." i 1 the noises of wheeled traffic were re duced by half, as might easily be done. the .relief to peoplej.1 ving-in bussy thor ough fares would be immen.se.' . ". 'z- . '-Rise of the America City. According to Mr.1 Walter Wellman, in an article In McClure's. the end of the. century census of the United States tells no more wonderful stoVyf than the rise of the American xity. -If we assume the official standard of 4,000, as the population requisite for a city, we find that at the beginning ol the -century there . were only sixteen cities in the United States, with a total population of 235.30R. At Jrtie eiid. ol ' the century therea re 1 .0S4 such cities, with a total population of 28.049.rns. ; - Placing; the.. Blaine.
