"How are the waters today?n asked

night. Mr.. Doremus was especially
fearful, vigilant and determined. An.
other visit up the canyon laat evening
demonstrated to him the urgent neces.
slty Of additional help. He returned
10 the CITY and Immediately went In
search OF tho Mayor, but as he was
unable TO find any trace Of that official
he lost no time In hiring a gang OF
men whom he stationed at all points o.
danger along the stream with psrpci
tools to arrest and remove all rub.

these reached the creek dame or tho

Editor Mexican, Of the Sanborn
Enterprise, seems to have stirred up
a hornets nest about his ears, all
because he made few comments in
his paper, sitting down on the action
OF the school board for wanting to
build another school house. There
are $1,000 in the Sanborn school
treasury and the school board want
to blow it in by building a new
school house. Editor Mexican gave
some very good reasons why the
present building was all right with a
little fixing up and says that a major
ity ct the bona-6de taxpayers are
against the project. His remarks
have "rlled" some of the board and
Mexican is catching it hot. The
newspaper is for the purpose Of
agitating public questions and Mr..
Mexican has only exercised his priv
ilege in that direction, and as the
taxpayers are to vote on the ques-
ton, the Enterprise has nothing to
do with settling the question, but
only warns the taxpayers to 60 slow
which is good advice. There is
no sense in the Sanborn school
board getting mad and kicking
around like untamed bronchos. Let
the taxpayers either vote for or
against the proposition.
