1HR WATER PROBLEM
Ina Fair Way 70 be solved at
Last.

Yesterday the special committee Of clti-
zens appointed 10 submit 10 the Water
Works Company the report Of Judge
Walker, communicated the same 10 the
Company, whereupon Judge Latham
called a special meeting Of tho Board OF
Directors OF the Water Company and re-
turned an answer Of which the following
Is q synopsis.
After expressing regret that the meet
ing Of the 18th inst failed to harmonize
matters, Judge Latham stated that he al
ways maintained Il was possible 70 secure
Mississippi river supply In the mode
proposed, but denied its feasibility as n
business proposition, on the grounds that
i would entail a loss on those
who supplied the money. He further
stated that while number Of citizens
might be willing TO risk few hundred
dollars each, or even Thousands, In A
hazardous enterprise In their anxiety ~
improve the water supply, the proposed
terms would force on number Of sock
holders the alternative OF selling or TAX
ing very large risk Ia what they regard
as an extensively risky monetary venture;
hence he was anxious % Incorporate
condition that would oqualize tho hazard.
II was evident, continued Judge Latham,
that unless the terms offered BY the citi.
zens were accepted Internationally, the
odium Of failure 70 secure Mississippi
water would revert 10 the Water Com
pany, and being fully aware Of the
urgent necessity OF securing a
better water supply, = special
meeting Of the board was called yesterday
and the acceptance Of the proposition
made By the citizens was urged.
In pursuance 10 the call the following

soon accumulated several millions. Last

a club dinner speech in London by ex-Gov.

that the English people smiled and winked

RELICS OF A GREAT EXPLORER.
The Name of wm Clarke Found Carved
In sandstone

The Name of WIN Clarke Found CarVeu
In sandstone
On the south bank of the Yellowstone
river, between Miles City and Billings,
sta1ds detached idy oil yellow sandstone,
which rises abruptly on three siues 70 the
height ot about 400 feet. It's base occupies
about one acre of ground. The iourth slde
is irregular and broken, aud anords way
by which ascent may be made, The rock is
known as Pompey's Polar, having been so
called by the expl 5rer, William Clarke. The
most noticeable thing about 1t is Clarke's
name, carved deeply on the iaee OF the rock,
about half way up on the north side. At
this place, which may be easily reached by
clamhering over the heavy blocks ol sand
stone, broken dowh from the body OF the
ela, the face Of the rock is protected by
some oYcrhsngine portions from sun and
Storm and the inscription "Niliam clarke,
Juiv rs, 1906, +" is traceable throughout. L.
is IN old fashioned scliptauu is undoubtedly
genuine,
A modern vaudal, who evidently had
never heard OF the explorer, bad registered
his own worthless name in uncoutn charae-
tiers over a part of the original inscription.
But Gen. Anderson, chief engineer OF the
Northern Pacific railroad, has given orders
to have the bumpkin' h name removed, aud a
frame covered with glass placed over the
name OF William Clarke to preserve Ii. 1t
was on his returdl from the mouth OF the
Columbia river that Clarke passed this place.
| The exploring party had divided short
time before, Clarke having taken this route
while Lewis pursued another. Lewis, upon
his return to the East, was made Govern !
| of Louisiana Territory, and died by his owu
hand, near Nashville, in October 1909
| Clarke was made Governor OF Missouri Ter
ritory and lived till September, 1888.

COUNCILS MOST ridiculous and la~less
action, last night, was in gravely proceed
ing to amend an ordinance after sustaining
the Mayors veto of the measure. I'm
dOubtedly the sustaining of veto defeats
the vetoed measure beyond re. direction, but
as Councilman Pickles and President Con
rad held differently the other Republican
IN embers bl!Ddiy followed their lead and
proceeded to amend an ordnance that had
no existence whatever, in law or in TACT, as
gravely as though it was before them ipr
final consideration. Mr.. Pickels was viii
fully determined TO defeat the approplia-
ton making loan to three needy
fire companies, and in his zeal he did not
take time enoughto adopt regular eonst-
tutional measures. III reality the ordinance
vetoed by Mayor Wales has no existence,
aud Treasurer Pierce has no authority TO
pay out dollar charged to either Of the ap-
preparations contained in the amending OF.
uiuance
The daily gazette., 1883-07-06

The MAYOR, by his veto OF the amend
ment to The appropriation ordinance, places
himseltin very humiliating position. lie
approved the original ordinance, which
provided for a loan of $4,000 to three
hre companies, and in yetoing the
amendment, which contained the same
item, states that he was ignorant Of the law.
1t took the greatest persuasive efforts Of
Councilman Pickels to eniighten the Mayor
on this point, but he finally succeeded, and
the member IRON. the Fifth ward now adds
the Mayor to the ranks OF his seryile Coun-
cilmaDic followers.
