The Water Supply.

The Water supply.
Walla Walla has just secured an
abundant supply of water tor all
ordinary requirements OF popula-
ton Of tenfold its p'esent number,
and Seattle and Tacoma ale basing
calculations on quite as extensive
scale, which reminds US that rur
greatest need is water, not only AS
protection from fire, but to meet
more fully the ordinary wants OF the
household. The many Years OF liti'
CATION in which the owners of the
water pipes here have been involved,
has resulted, as such contests usually
do, in a greatly impaired service,
aud for several seasons past steamers
have been unable to obtain water,
except at Westside wharf, and those
consumers who drew from the older
mains were always Oh short allow
ance and at times shut off for weeks
from the source of supply. Now
that the lawsuits have terminated,
Mr.. Horton has exhibited a praise
worthy spirit in the endeavor to not
only restore our former facilities but
increase the capacity to meet pros
pective wants. He has secured an
abundance of excellent running
spring water and has set up machine
ry for elevating it TO a reservoir
where it may be delivered to or
thrown over the highest buildings.
An eight.irch main is to he laid Ill
the principal streets, if the city offers
an inducement by the rental of ten
or more fireplugs, guaranteed to
throw an II inch stream on the
highest roofs. The rate asked for
this service-$5O per month for the
ten hydrants-is quite reasonable,
and much less than any of the esti-
mates made, Immediately after the
last fire, for less effective service.
The Council should not hesitate to
close a contract, at these low fig
ures, for as long term as possible
and pro rata rates for a larger num-
Der of MIGRANTS. Delays are dan
gerous in more senses than one.
The dry season is approaching when
the larger portion of town will be
absolutely at the mercy of the de-
vouring element should it once get q
fair start among our wooden struc-
lures.
The cost of 5000 year should be
readily assumed for such purpose.
It will scarcely be felt, while the
purchase of q steamer would reqaire
an immediate outlay of ten times
that amount and an annual expendi.
ture of 81, COO or 81 200 to keep it in
effective service, while still the great
Observation-Disclosures have to
be provided at additional expense.
In fact the acquisition of a first-class
engine would necsssitate the use of
inexhaustable hydrants or of some
other equally costly means of supply.
The decrease Of the rates of insur-
ance, if this arrangement is effected.
would go very far towards making
up the cost and would settle at once,
if anything more were needed, the
question of economy.
The committee on Fire and Water,
acting under instructions from the
Council, have advertised for bids for
this service. 1t is sincerely hoped
that this course will not delay the
work. II seems to be the general
opinion that the town could not do
better than to contract at once with
Mr.. Horton. The price is reasonable
and he is in position to give us the
service at the earliest period.

box, and sorted over his books of travel and
adventure, and embraced a handsome set of
house gymnastic apparatus, and tossed up in
the air and caught again morocco purse with
S. gold piece in it, "But I tell you, father,

saved him from slang, am obliged to stated
and Joe Wexford said yes'day mine looked
like 'cheesers' though that's just because he
was goin' to have some now ones himself-but
they are kinder heavy, put 'em with these''-
and CLEAN of appreciation lighted Harry s
eye as it rested upon the 'bang up" new
AGNES.
There was no ice to try them on that day SO
| they shone among the other presents waiting a
re-nspection, when Harry should come home
from an afternoon frolic. This he did at four
O'Clock. It hogan to grow dusk, SO he drew
all his beauties near the window and sat by
| them pouring over his splendid stock ia trade
again. The window was very near the street,
and in few moments Hal looked up and saw
Jim Munson gazing in, holding on by the top
Of the iron fence, open eyed and open mouthed
WITH admiration. So Hal slipped on the new
seal cap and slipped into the vestibule to con-
verse with Jim, with whom he had made &C.
quaintance at the public school. Jim was
poor but good boy whose widowed mother
had seen better days
"Say Jim, whatdyerhave?'
"Well not much, you know. My mother
can't give me much [ had a new coat-got
her on-and nuts ;and candy, have some?-
and, well. that's about all. But my mothers
gon' ter give me if she can earn for 'em some
skates next year, hey? But, my jolly, you had
the lots, didn't yer? I'll see some of 'em at
school, may be, at recess"
A thought flashed through Halls mind-"I
could give him my old ones.'
'sHod on here minute, Jim, I've got some
thing for you" and in he rushed At the par
Tor door the new skates met his eye, and just
then came to him another feeling. "to give
away only what you don't want" and he
paused moment Not long. He was ia ear
nest. He was growing generous, really and
truly. He took the new skates and ran his
fingers gently down the sides of the runners,
looked at them grayely and went back to
Jim.
''Here, I've another pair. I'll give'em to YOU.
You just better stare. Amt they Summers?
There, quick don't you wait long, might
take 'em back, you know. Iniun gift!'" with
a raerry shout of laughter at Jims dazed
stare.
"Wait! we'll you must believe not Jim said:
"My! you're good, and I'm the luckiest boy in
the world this Christmas" and turned to
Harry a face SO full of ecstasy that it was re-
ward enough. Then he vas off like an arrow
from bow, and Hal drew deep sigh and
went back to his book.
At night he told his mother, and added.
''And it wasn't for praise, mother wanted to
do it, and I'm going always to be generous
Now the moral of this story is not that
children must always give away their best pos
sessions. 1t is simply what Harry's mother
told him, ct is not real generosity to give
away what you do not want yourself" The
gift that costs some sacrifice is the one that
blesses the giver.

Isn't Christmas Jolly?"
JOHN LATELY.

A certain young lady,
Who lives in Already,
Thinks her simple Polly
A duck of Dolly;
And in an armchair,
With minute to spare,
Fast-chatters away to her;
Though what she can say to her
By way of invention
is past comprehension;
Now kissing, now scolding her,
Now warmly enfolding her.
A sly little bird
One day overheard
Missy's gossiping tattle,
And thus run the prattle:-
My sweet darling Dolly!
Now is it not jolly
That Christmas is near,
With its berries and holly,
And best of good cheer?
1 am vastly delighted,
Mamma has invited
Young ladies a few
To meet me and you.
Well may you stare, Miss,
At thought of such bliss.
Each brings fine Dolly,
But none like my Polly!
Yes, you shall be drest
AS fine as the best;
Nay, finer; for know
Let me whisper it So
l am sure you can hear,
Though dumb you appear.
You're like my dog Tray.
Who knows all say;
For that he shows clear
BY pricking his ear
And beating his tail
On the floor like a fail;
But he is too shy,
1 suppose, to reply:
Yet what sympathy lies
In his liquid brown eyes!
His frame all a-shiver
And low whining culver
Betraying his rapture
AS / hold him in capture.
I.wish you acoattd speak,
IF only a squeak,
just as Pussy-catgoes
When you step on her toes.
Now, dearest of dears!
Keep open your ears,
And let your eyes glisten
To show me you listen.
I've a toilet, the rarest,
To suit you, my fairest:
A pink satin dress,
From Paris express;
Then dainty silk socks,
With finely worked clocks;
And shoes-O such beauties!-
To put on your tooties;
Rare pearls to bedeck
Your lily-white neck;
A scarf DER your shoulders,
To charm all beholders;
And pair of kid gloves,
Such dear little loves,
Tight-fitting as skin
The fair hands within.
Owen't you look fine
And all else outshine!
With envy they'll stare,
Their eyes open wide,
AS you sit on a chair
Erect by my side,
Dressed out as a Queen
On State days is seen.
o darlingest Dolly!
Now isn't Christmas jolly?
