WAR! WAR! WAR!
The Alturas Water Company Threat
ened with q Lawsuit.

Complaint has been made to the
authorities by f. Bartsch against the
Alturas Water Company, and suit for
damages is threatened, and, it is
thought, will be instituted.
= 1t seems that for some days there
has been break in the waste pipe on
Main street, at the intersection of
Galena, which causes mud hole in
front of Mr.. Bartsch's place of bust
ness, and he is correspondingly hos.
tile and talks of bringing suit to COM
pei the company to repair damages.
Mr.. White, manager Of the com.
pany, has been informed of the ma
ture of the complaint, and for various
reasons is highly indignant at the
turn affairs have taken. He informs
TINES reporter that the public fire
hydrants in the city were put in by
the company at cost OF 1925 each.
and the city or county was never
charged cent for their use or the
water consumed; that these hydrants
are the only effective protection the
city has against fire--the water and
all being furnished free; that this
break in the pipe is no detriment to
the city or the individual making the
complaint, and to repair it would in
volve all expense of several hundred
dollars, besides having to shut off the
city water supply for time sufficient
to make the repairs; that if the street
in this particular place was graded to
a general level with Main street, the
mud-hole would not exist, and in fact
does not exist only during wet
weather, or for short time after a
heavy rain. Mr.. White, as manager
of the Water Company, wishes it dis
tinctly understood, further, that if u
suit is brought as above stated, or if
any more threats are made to that ef-
feet, the hydrants will be at once re-
moved, and the gratuitous public
water supply shut off. He says that
when the least necessity requires it,
repairs will be made, but the com
pany is not prepared, just now, or dis
posed to trouble itself for the mere
qualification or accommodation Of in
lividuals who receive treble the ben
eGts of other citizens, and pay nothing
for it.
1t is to be hoped an amicable adj
justnent Of the affair will be made, as
the action will, if at all, be brought
in the name of the county, and in
volve an unnecessary expense of sew
eral hundred dollars, besides involving
the Water Company in costs which it
can i'll afford to bear with its depleted
treasury.

in the way of obtaining title to the

a right to a certain quantity of water,
and don't object to his using it..
But after turning it back into the

makes one ton of ore which sells for

can get ore to work anywhere, and he
is seriously thinking Of going up some
place where titles are not SO involved

Our Rising wheat Rival.

The development Of the wheat in
dustry in India will have an important
effect upon this country in the matter
Of wheat exports. 1t bids fair to be-
come formidable competitor for sup
plying Europe with that grain. Eight
years ago India appeared in the Eng
lish market with a million and half
bushels, increased to four millions in
another year following to twelve mil
lion bashels. In 1sSO-Sl the India
export rose to fifteen millions bushels
and reached no less than thirty-soven
million bushels in 1882. This is a
very rapid development, and may well
be the subject for serious consideration
Of American producers. exporters and
economists.
