That was very significant statement
which Mr.. Bailey Gatzert made before the
joint meeting of fire underwriters, Cham
Der of Commerce and Board OF Trade
Wednesday night. Speaking for the
Spring Hill Water Company. he said that
when his company laid their mains they
thought to meet the wants of the city for
the next fifteen years. but the city has
grown so rapidly that the mains are a.
ready Inadequate. This is true. 1t would
have seemed like madness five years ago to
have made the expenditures for water sup
ply which the surprising growth of the city
has made necessary. This should be borne
in mind when calculations for the further
improvements are being made. Make big
allowance for growth greatly in excess Of
past experience.

Torcnto's Eyes ON Seattle.
San Francisco SpeciA

T. II. Ferguson, OF Toronto. arrived here
last night on visit. In an interview to-
day Mr. Ferguson said much interest was
felt in the road being built to connect Seat
tie and Vancouver. Vancouver has grown
from nothing. after the fire OF lSs6, TO a
town of 1900 inhabitants. The Cana
dian Pacific railway has its works and EN-
tloyees there, which alone requires an an
nuh outlay OF 10000, while the actual
expenditures last year were over 500 600.
With new aud faster ships to China, and
the fast vessels on the Atlantic now in
process of construction there will grow up
another large city on the Atlantic coast,
and the natural competition will be gen
eral for both, and really lie between the
two countries

II is understood that both Idaho and
Wyoming will make earnest efforts to get
into The Union this coming winter. An
is based upon the claim that there is
large Mormon element in Idaho. and the
territory being contiguous to Utah. the
Aormons can easily move UP into Idaho
from Utah after the former has been given
Ia understand by congress that il can come
into statehood. and thus the Mormons, il
IS asserted. can capture the new state and
elect the first legislature. Those familiar
with the general facts concerning Idaho
know how little there is in this claim.
Idaho Is entitled Ia admission.
