WATER SUPPLY.
SEATTLE, W. T.. July Z. 1881

SEATTLE. W. T., July Z. 1881.
To he Hon. Mayor and Common Cosrscl Of
The city Of Seattle and to TIE People Of said
Gig:
The undersigned have the honor of
calling your attention to the proposed
form of an ordinance herewith SUBJ
mitted. and respectfully request its
adoption and passage.
Tue introduction of q sufficient sup
ply of fresh, pure and wholesome water
is measure so beneficial in every way
to the city that its necessity is conceded
by all.
The provisions of said ordinance have
been carefully considered by the IN
designed. and they feel assured that.
in the event of the passage of this or
dinance, they will be enabled to success.
fully accomplish its object. They do
not expect to realize fortune out of
this project. but only fair remsners-
ton for the capital necessary to be
enlisted and employed Hence no COM
pensstion is expected or asked for any
supply of water required by the city
for fire, sewerage or other necessary
public purposes. The right to use the
streets, alleys and public places for their
purposes and the franchise for twenty.
five years is deemed fair and sufficient
consideration for the liability to furnish
free of charge said water for public
uses. The maximum rates allowed by
said ordinance to be charged for water
furnished for private uses are believed
to be reasonable and fully justified by
the large outlay Uf money required in
the erection and maintenance of said
proposed works.
In framing said ordinance. care has
been taken to have its provisions stated
in plain and concise terms and to pro-
tect all persons now owning and en-
gagged in the operation of water works.
The undersigned would. however, be
pleased to receive suggestions from any
source concerning any defect in the pro-
posed ordinance whereby the rights or
interests of the city or its inhabitants
are deemed to be insuficiently guarded
or protected.
Very respectfully submitted.

We fail to understand how men of no de-
termined religious views, men who vacllate
from one opinion to another in each express
sion of it, can feel competent or confident in
the recent criticisms bestowed on those who
by their life and teaching are as exemplary
as frail mortality ever aspires, and who, al
though they may sometimes fail in the eluci-
dation of the truth as understood by these
5igoted cyclists, never fail to satisfy the best
elements Of society both as to their ability
and sincerity. We do know that in misrep-
resenting recent sermons one has been given
opportunity to give long drawn out Sweden
borgian theories, and another slangy couch
ing Of Alexander Campbelfs doctrines, some
what perverted, while all know that the for
mer is ar ancient dogma, long since dying
out, Will, the religion of Jesus Christ stead
lily and surely advances. As To their making
their criticims the more biasphemous by the
quoting of scriptural passages and the de-
nouncing Of all protesting Christians as i'm
posters and their religion farce We leave
to our intelligent readers the solution.

HELD UP.

William Sutton, who resides in the south.
eastern corner Of the county, adjoining the
Sampson fruit farm, was in the city last
Wednesday. His business kept him until
about clock when he started home. hav.
ing twe-sorse team. Just after crossing
Dry creek about seven miles southeast OF the
city, on road not much travelled, it had be.
come dark, two masked men stepped out,
commanded him to halt, one of them seizing
the brides Of his horses, the other one pre-
sented revolver to his breast and told him
to hold up his hands and get out of the wag-
on and give up his money. Mr.. Sutton told
them that he had no money. One of them
replied that they knew better. And they
took hold Of him, threw him down, took out
his pocket-book, took iherefrom his money,
amounting to Ss1o, and some papers. They
asked him If the papers were of any value.
He replied that they were of no value to
them but were to him. Whercupon they
threw them down, mounted their horses and
left. One Oh the unfortunate things about
the affair is that Mr.. S. did not take any
steps towards catching the rascals until
the next evening. Had he driven back to
the city and reported it the chances were
good for their capture. No elew 20 their
whereabouts has been obtained The loss
will work great hardship to Mr.. Sutton
from the fact that it was money he had got
by mortgaging his farm with which he was
going 10 buy cattle. This is the second time
men have been robbed in that vicinity.

the number of sheep in this county, placing
the number at $4,000. We were told by many
who had better opportunities of knowing
low, and we believe it was. Sheep men with

that there are, at the lowest estimate, at
