waste in the spring from every canyon
on the east side of the valley than is
consumed in the city during the re-
malnder of the year. Then there is
Utah Lake, only thirty miles distant,
which is reservoir equal to the re-
quirements of New York City. The
water of Big cottonwood, properly
nnsbanded, would DE equa! to the
demands OF Paris or London i,
and yet Big Cottonwood is
only dozen miles distant.
If Little Cottonwood stream were
owned by the city. and its surplus in
the spring stored, Salt Lake City could
grow in dimensions and increase in
population for generations wi bout the
spectre of water famine pr senting 1t
self.
1t is suggested that the Council de-
wise water supply scheme, and go to
work and carry 1t out. To fortify
themselves with courage the members
OF the municipal government may read
of what Liverpool proposes, what New
York has done and is doing, what San
Francisco has done and what it pro-
poses to do, what other cities have
done. If the Cettonwoods are out of
the question, and big reservoirs
In the canyons are deemed mad
Visable, let US at once and for good and
all, go to Utah Lake; not with cheap
arrangement, which will be found
inadequate to the demands before the
work is completed, but with a plant
that will inspire confidence in its
capacity. Just as long as we pursue
the narrow policy which has always
been pursued We will be in trouble. The
time given up to efforts to. obtain
Ii tie water here, and get q petty
stream there, the bartering for this in
significant brook, or the purchase of an
indefinite portion of that creek, is time
vast d, and the money expended in
these bargains and chickering's is largely
money thrown away.
The problem staring the city in the
face Is a good deal larger than some
people seem to regard it; and yet it is
not so large that it should alarm or
discourage anybody when the means for
the solution are in sight. The PROPOSE
ton is this-the city must have more
water. No one, narrow Of mind end
as he may be, will dis
pute this. To day there is a grievous
shortage for the present population,
and the scarcity will grow worse and
more oppressive until autumn. Next
year matters will be worse, and they
will keep on growing worse until The
'emedy comes. 1t is admitted by all
hat there is an abundance of water
which may be conveyed hither. The
'nly question to be answered is that as

Anti-rhird party arethodists

Waterloo, To-, special. s. The session
OF the Upper Iowa conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church closed at
Vinton to-day. There were $50 pastors
present. srThe T he committee report which
was unanimously adopted this morning
was decidedly in opposition to the third
party in politics. 1t stated that, while
the conference took no part in politics
as q body, yet it could not but favor the
party that has done the most for tenn
perance, and that, while the pulpits were
not to be used as rostrums, yet ii was
the duty OF the pastors to give their
congregations all the light possible upon
the moral and temperance questions at
issne. A leading member of the con-
ference stated this afternoon that he
did not believe there was third party
adherent among the members of the
conference. The Upper Iowa conference
is the one from which the democrats
had expected that greet help would
come to the third party.

A Dakota Wedding.

Neche, Dak., Oct. 10-When the pas
senger train from Gretna 8rrived here
yesterday young man named William
son, with lady named Sawyer were
among the passengers aboard. They
told Conductor Scott they wanted to be
married forthwith. The conductor said
be would try to accommodate them and
walt until some one could be found to
preform the ceremony, While messen-
ger was hunting up q clergyman the
bsggageman, Billie o O'Brien, OF M,nnea-
polls, was keeping the crowd of specta.
tors away, having pair of boxing gloves
on and threatening to lay out the first
person who would attempt to disturb
them. Rev. John Scott appeared, told
the young couple to stand up, called OF
Deputy Collector of Customs Miller to
witness, and In few minutes the clergy
man pronounced them man and wife.
Mr.. o Bfien Immediately addressed the
officiating clergyman, saying he thought
he was entitled, for his services, to kist
from the bride, and when approaching
her Deputy Collector Miller snatched
the first kiss, saying it was his privilege
as groomsnsn. While Mr.. o O'Brien was
indignantly rebuking Collector Miller
for his conduct he was again euchered
by Engineer Bnnnell and Station Agent
Roberts. Conductor Scott gave the
signal to go. The traiu left with the
apparently happy couple, amidst shouts
and congratulations from the numerous
spectators.

In the list of demands upon the next
legislature by the farming classes, rep
resented through the alliance, is one
which asks for the enactment of law
declaring usury to be misdemeanor
and providing for its adequate punish
ment. Up to the last legislative session
such law was carried upon the statute
books of Dakota, but it was repealed
by that legislature. AS the last legis-
lature contained a majority of farmers,
in at least one of it's branches, the re-
pealing act could not have passed with
out agricultural sanction. The record
shows, however, that it passed with very
little voting opposition. We are told
in explanation that the farmers who
voted for the measure did not UNDER
stand its import. A blunder OF this
nature by q body of Legislators is hardly
excussble, bnt if the farmers of the next
legislature will restore the repealed Law
somebody besides farmers will applaud
the act. II is in no sense class demand
that Dakota should have law against
usury. All people, not usurers, want it.
| So it should not be understood that the
repeal of this law is o special grievance
OF the farmer class.

Reading road, one mile having been run
in 46 seconds. A first GLASS eight wheel
passenger engine costs So 800. Tho Santa
Fe is the largest single system, 5000

the Part of good judgment to avoid it

railroad commissioners would be the
most sensible act for our legislature to
pass. Their saiss1es would be saved and
the people can get along without such

show that the national republican COM
mittee is lsboring 60 secure the German
vote OF the country, regardless of the
anti.prohibition sen timent OF most OF
the German voters. The Voice produces
evidence to prove that the republican
party is not working within prohibition
lines op its endeavor. There is true gall
IN this proceeding upon the part of the
Voice. 1t pursues with vindictiveness
the party it has smitten upon one cheek
because it will not turn the other check,
for duplicate blow-because, having
been repeatedly betrayed by the political
protege upon which it has lavished its
fostering care, it now takes it's own wea-
pops in its hands and turns upon an
unnatural offspring. There is no con.
cealment of the fact that the republican
party is defending itself against the
ungrsteful aggressiveness of the third
party represented by the Voice. 1t is
searching out its enemies in this CAM
paign and in this search finds the third
party and the democratic party allied
against the success OF republicanism.
Both wings Of the alliance seek the de-
feat of Harrison-seek the ultimate death
of the republican party. Under these
circumstances it is hardly necessary for
the third party organ to labor to demon
strate that the republican committee
is shoulder to shoulder with its friends
and face TO face with it's opponents.

New York, Oct. 9-The democratic
betting men who have had access to
BILLY Scott's money the past week, and
have put mp $40, 900 in three even SIC, 900
bets, are not willing tonight to take
odds which are offered by republicans.
Ex-Sheriff Albert Dsggett, of Brooklyn,
was looking for some one who had the
necessary financial backing to his poll
teal convictions to put up the $4,000
against the $l00 900 MIR. Daggett was
willing to risk on the general results be-
tween the two presidential candidates,
in favor of General Harrison. MIR. Dag
gett was earnest, energetic and hope
tul OF finding some ardent believer in
Cleveland who would meet him in his
very generous offer, but up to 10 clock
had not succeeded. He did not insist
upon these amounts, or odds, and offer
ed to put ny $4,000 against SAC, 600
npon the same issue. But there was no
taker. Mr.. Daggett, who is an astute
politician, is confident that the demo.
cracy are in such condition that they
cannot meet the issue with success to
themselves, and he is willing to risk the
enormous sum mentioned above, after
his close and careful study of the situa-
tion. This endeavor to bring democratic
followers to positive declaration of
their honest beliefs. and its failure, thas
far, shows conciusively that they are ex-
tremely doubtful as to the result, con-
dition of things which has been intensi-
fed the past four days by the local
manipulations, which have caused the
administration democrats TO look ex.
tremely blue and to entertain most se-
rious doubts of the democratic outcome
of this contest.
