In addition to the above report Mcssrs. Morrison
and Luttrell submit brief reports of their own.
Mr. Morrison, after setting forth briefly the ma
ture of the request made by the Texas and Pacific
Railroad Company for aid says that the bonds
TO be issued to the company under the provisions of
the majority bill and the interest guaranteed to be
paid by the United States if used sinking fund
and invested in Government bonds bearing the Same
rate of interest," would pay $300,OO000O of the
public debt. IIe then asks the question: /" Has
Congress the power to authorize the coveted guaran
tees ~ and adds:
II IL has, then power has been conferred upon Con-
qress to make gifts OF the public moneys and public
property 10 private corporations and ndiy iduals.

ferred upon Congress make the United States part

Mr.. Morrison argues this point at some length,
quoting from the highest authorities from the days
of Jefferson TO the present time and concluding
that to grant the aid asked for would DO plainly

could not serve because the meeting
of the convention occurs at the same
time Court meets. The other Judges
are not running, consequently the
ma jority of the Judges being off, it
made Judge Vineyards withdrawal
a necessity. He authorizes US to
make this fact known. Judge
Guichard has made his decination

OUR WATER SUPPLY.

This question is just now agitat-
ing the mind Of the average Port
Townsend resident to an unusual ex-
tent. 1t is one which interests all,
and will find a satisfactory solution
sooner or later, according to the
course pursued to reach the desired
end, viz, to supply our town with
what it most needs--an inexhausti
bic supply of pure, fresh water.
BY some the idea has been mooted
that a sufficient supply Of water can
be obtained by digging a large -ell
aud raising the water to the required
height by means of donkey engine.
This plan, we think, will be demon
strated, if tried, to be entirely made
quate, for several reasons. In the
first place, the supply of water from
any surface we'll could easily be ex.
hausted, and our people would soon
lind themselves without the amount
of water necessary for their use, and
secondly the quality of the water
thus obtained would by no means be
desirable. 1t is q well known fact
that for a considerable depth in this
vicinity the salt water percolates the
gravelly earth so much as to render
all the well water in town more or
less brackish, so that wells which
yield even moderately fair water
when slightly drawn from, furnish a
very inferior article when much of it
is used. The reason of this is quite
apparent when it is considered that
the salt water, being so much heavier
than the fresh, fills the bottom of the
well and rises iu proportion as the
fresh water is taken from the top.
One plan suggested is to sink an
artesian well and obtain the supply
in that way; another is the one
spoken of by us before, viz, to bring
the supply by means of pipes from
Chimacum creek or some other availa.
BILE source. Either of these would eyi.
IDENTITY be feasible, but their relative
cost must be determined by investi.
