the dear boys are not exercised in the least

matters so trivial and to the person or
persons who wasted so much sympathy on
those blessed boys will l commend the
Christian like fortitude and patience of Col.

was vote to defer the erection

of the fence has betn completed. There
are about 0OU feet IN all.
The committee to whom was referred

Council as to the building of reservoir
on Capitol Hill, reported that no
definite action had been taken By the
Council, and it was resolved that the
same committee urge upon the Council
the ACCESSIBILITY and necessity of COM
mencing the work at once, in order that
water for irrigating may be had by next
spring, at which time, the fence being
up, it Is the intention of the board to
