In those troubled days it was as much as a New Yorker's life was worth, to say anything good of Brooklyn, and vice versa. Although Manhattan and Brooklyn are now in one big: munici- Pal family, the Manhattanese contin- ue to express contempt for the Brook- lynites, and will probably continue to do 80 until the memory of the 1889 world's series is forgotten. Bob Car- Tuthers, who figured in more world s championship baseball than any other pitcher in the history of the pastime, was now wearing a Brooklyn uniform and was the star of the American Association. Caruthers fellow - pit- ober at St. Louis, Dave Fouts, had also been sold to Brooklyn, The first game went to Brooklyn, 12 1i0. New. York took the second, 6 2, beat- iug Carruthers. Bob pitched again in the third contest, and won 7. Hank O'Day and Smiling Hickey Welch. were in the box for New York. With Terry pitching Brooklyn took the fourth game, 10 6.. It seemed to be all over but the shoutting at this stage of the series, as Brooklyn had taken three out of four games. The dark pall of gloom that hovered over Manhattan could be seen from Tren- ton and Philadelphis; while in. the City of Churches the joyous cele- brants consumed so much champagne that the supply was exhausted. When Carruthers. Weiit into: the bok for the fifth game, Brooklyn fang considered the series Ginched, but. their ido fell and New York won, 11 3. But why drag out the agony? The NeW Yorkers proceeded calmly and deliberately to annex all of the remaining contests, by scores of 2 1, 11 7, 16 7, and 3 2.. That was the first and last world s series be- tween New York and Brooklyn, and it 1s well that it was so, for another would have probably resulted in a declaration of war between the two eltfes, and rendered forever impos- sible the consolidation of Brooklyn with New York, which was effected in 1898, Ta 1800 the Brotherhood of Base Beles co-operative league, appeaitd lipon the baseball map, and th Boston team won the pennant nd was beyond doubt the strongest club of that year.

To the Mayor ang Aldermen of the City of Medi ipe Hat, Alta. Gentlemen: 1 herewith submit. for your con- sideration, report of work done in the varioug departments during the month of September, 1912. Water Department, During the month 941 lineal feet ot 6 inch water main was laid, three few valves were Installed and leven new hydrants. Thirty-six n w confections were made ai com- pared with thirty-three for the cor- responding month in 1911. During the month nine leak were reported in the water mains. These were chiefly in old wooden pipe and Seems necessary to have. these wooden mking taken up and re- placed with ast iron pipe m the: near future, Fifteen services were repaired. These consisted chiefly in lowering old services and repairs to broken stop cocks and goose necks, Construction work of the epart- ment has been considerably retarded by the lack of pipe and labor, How- paver shipment of both 6 in. and 8 . pipe is expected daily, and with labor conditions improving, a con- Siderable number of extensions will probably be completed during the month of October. Sewerage Department. 2045 Uneal feet of 8 in, pipe, 1301 lineal feet of 12-in. pipe were Iaid for domestic sewers during the past month, These entailed the conatruc- tion of 1 manholes. 30 new connec- tions were installed as compared with 9 for the corresponding month in 1913. This department has espe- sfally suffered very materially from the lack of labur. At the present time, but 30 men constitute the sew- erage outfit, while under ordinary conditions, it should be made up of 75 men at least. There is approxi- mately 1.1 miles of domestic sewer yet to be completed, but it Is expected that more labor will be available during the coming month, so that the work of finishing up domestic sew- ers can be rushed to completion, when work om the surface sewers will be commeneed. It would seem to be a good plan to have the domes- tle sewers started as early as pos- sible in the year when labor is not hard to be procured, so that by the time ttie harvest begins, the work of the-sewerage construction depart- ment would be well advanced and would not suffer from this cause so materially as has been the case dur- ing the present. season, The doiiiestic sewers have all been flushed periodi ally during the wum- mer and fali and at present are clean and no filth obstru tiig the free pas- Sage of water thfOligh their course. Public Works Department. During the month 6283 lineal feet of curb and gutter were laid, th Work being chiefly done on the north Work, 1145 square feet of concrete Bidewalks, and 696 square fect of lane crossings, were laid in connec- tion with curb and- gutter construc- tion. During the month 9 wood, crossings, containing total of 1600 Square feet of BANK, were aid.

During the month the creek on the Ogilvie ite was diverted in order to allow the free passege of water dur- ing spting treshets, thus lessening the Ganger oF the flooding of their prem- ines. These operations necessitated the removal of 1869 cubic. yards of earth, Parks and Markets, Riverside Park, North Park and the cemetery receive dthe usual at ttention such as mowing grass, roll- ing the walks and general up-keep. Considerable work has been done at Bennett Park. The walks have all been Iaid out and edged and the main part of the park has been graded so that the general Iayout can be ascertained at a glance.

The well. was capped October last and is perfectly tight and Is now ready to be connected with the city gas system. A capacity test was made on October ist and it was found that the output on that date was 3,394,000 cubic feet per 24 hours. However, as the gas had been flow- tug from this well for nearly a month it is thought that after capping: the Sutput wili be considerable higher than this amount, During the month 5118 feet of 6 in. and 4in. low pressure maine were lafd, 34 meters were installed, new lamps placed, 4 new valves and 67 new services. This is a record for the installation of new services. The work of construction of the new power house and pumping sta- tion has b en commenced and about. cubic yards of dirt removed. The concrete mixer has arrived .and the work of laying foundation cour- ses and foundation walls commenced for hauling of sand, brick, steel and cement have been let, as well as the Supplying of the bricks and steel, As before stated, a temporary light- ing system has been installed to ai- low the contractors to work a night shift.

In the twinkling of an eye the Portuguese throne was overturned and King Manvel and his royalist adherents fled for tlie'r tives to England, that refuge alike of monanchs and anar- chists. Tomorrow the republicans 4 Portugal now a large proportion the .ctal population will celebrate the second anniversary of the pro- clamation of the republic. Recent attempts of the royalists to regain control have but ttrengthened the government of President Manuel de Arriaga, and the republic now pro- mises to be permanent, Only in the. hortu in part of the country has atty considerable part of the population remained loyal to the old regime, and even these have become discouraged by the futile raids of Capt. Couceiro, who, at the head of a band of mer enaries, adventurere and royalists, invaded the country. The insurrec - tion was quickly put down by the republican troops, who showed them- selves vastly superior to the royal ists, and the victory for the gdverh- ment arms was complete. The royalist invasion also afforded the government an excuse for de- Porting many monarchist. clergymen. Owing to the anti-religious attitude of the republican officials, practically all of the representatives of the church have favored. the restoration of Manuel to the throne. The gov- ernment has retaliated by wholesale banishment of the religionists. Like most revolutionists, the republican Jeaders-in Portugal were practically all fresthinkers and atheists, and Affonso Costa asserted two years ago that within two years'he would have uprooted Christianity from Portugal. That period expires today and-while the prediction has not come frue in its entirety, it is cer- tain that Chr stianity is very much Gas Department. five will be immediately, Contracts J. D. McBEATH, Asst. City Engineer. Portuguese Republic Two Years Well Established on the wane in Portugal. The re- publican newspapers which includes. all the important: journals of Lisbon and other large cities indulge in fre quent and hitter attacks on Chris- tianity, which they describe as gross superstition. The teaching: of science has replaced that of relig ion in the schools, all the institu- tions of learning formerly conducted by the Catholic church in Portugal have been seized, and the new gener ation that is growing up knowm neither God nor Manuel, Yn some of: the text, books used in the Portu guese schools Christianity is deverib . edas an . outworn superstition, abd the existence of a Deity, while not denied, is alleged to be un- knowable. S The strike of the employes of the Lisbon traction system, owned by Scotch capitalists, has been one of the most serious matters the gov mmenit: has had to face. The Scotsmen, under the terms of con- tract made with the royalist regime, had the power to pay absurdly in adequate wages, and to force its: workmen to continue to toil even at the point of the bayonet. The Britishers refused to increase wages, or to listen to any. compromiss, and called upon the govaerninent to pro- tect their property with troops. The- President ond his advisers found themselves between the devil and the: deep blue sea, and at one time the difficulty threatenel to wreck the republic. On the whole, wages of Portuguese workmen have more thar: doubled in the last twy years, the farmers of the country hay become. Prosperous, and the material and in- tellectual opportunities afforded the: great miasses of Portuguese iiave been vastly increased. Even in the north, the supposed stronghold of royalist sentiment; Affonsa Costa and other republican leaders have re- cently been given enthusjastis re ceptions, and in one city the cross was pulled down from the. leading church, and the republican flag hoist ed, in honor of Costa's visit, and the sacred ediffice was transformed into a school, 120.10 89,00 148.61 107.10 78.78 11.37 23.04 536.90 20.00 27.50 43.31 8.70 420 MAIN ST.
