Discussion Over the Fewer Companyss
Proposition.
There was not quorum of the city conn
Gil present for yesterdays meeting Of the
committee OF the whole. The officers and
stockholders Of the Seattle Steam Heat and
Power Company were present to explain
their proposition for furnishing auxiliary
ire protection. They said they did not
ask the city to spend some $50, 900 or so in
extending mains for their system; 30 this
part of tae objection Of the water engineer,
Benezette Williams, was done away with.
After considerable discussion IL was agreed
by those present that the best plan would
probably be to have the city build the sue
ton pipe from the 6ompany's pumps to
deep water. This work will cost about
5000. The company is to have the use OF
it for two years in consideration OF furnish
ing salt water for the city's mains in case
of Dire. The city is to expend nothing in
extending mains for the company's use,
and ct the end Of the two years the suction
pipe, with all hydrants and taps attached
by the city to the company's mains, are to
be the property Of the city. The agree
ment may be renewed at the expiration Of
the period.
Whether the council will agree to this
proposition Is not known.

Another Search

Last Tuesday night when John
Wendall came from the midnight train
he found the BrookIngs house on fire,
but by prompt action put the fire out
without causing an alarm. The fire
caught near a cupboard in the kitchen
and burned the cupboard, floor ana
ceiling, also damaging some napkins
and other table linen In basket near
the cupboard. How the fire started
is mystery as it was some distance
from the stove and nothing to cause
the fire to start was in the vicinity.
This is second time the house has
been on fire within about q month.

Correct You Are

The Aberdeen Daily News has this
to say: can effort should be made
this winter to have the terms of the
Sioux treaty opening the reservation
to settlement modified so that the
lands may be taken under the home
stead law. The present law practi.
cally torbids settlement. The terms
OF payment are such that no claims
will be taken until all the other public
lands are exhausted. The proposed
terms in the Sisseton treaty are also
calculated to prevent the occupation
OF the lands by white settlers for years
to come. In these two cases there is
an unjust discrimination against
South Dakota, whose public lands
should be open to settlement on con.
ditions as favorable as are the lands
OF other states and territories"

Brookings desires direct rail connec-

reciprocal, but it is impossible to do
everything at once. In patience pos
sess ye your souIs.-Sioux Falls Daily
Press.
The people of Brookings county
daily talk OF the mutual benefits to be
derived by Sioux Falls and Brookings
being connected by railroad. There
are innumerable advantages to be
considered and it Is high time steps
were taksn in this direction. The
first thing Sioux Falls knows some
road from the south will tap this
county and leave our esteemed city in
the swim" We would not have
things thusly, but we must have q
south road and our people will "catch
on" to anything which looks like
business in that direction. So you
see We naturally give our sister Susan
slight squeeze" to see how she feels
about the matter, hoping that she
may smile while we "tickle" her.

the act of raising wheat and other

done about the matter more than to
make the parties refund the money.

Clark, Watertown, Estelline and

tore presenting them to the banks to
receive his money.
Last Saturday he brought six and
