THE CITY OWNS 1T.
How ValIejo's Water Sup
ply Was Secured.
FIGHTING A CORPORATION.
The Final Success of the People
InsureS Cheap Water
Rates.

VALLEJO, March II. - The city OF
Vallejo Is one of the very few places on
the Pacific Coast now supplied with water
from her own sheds and plant. The sub
ject Of fayora bic rates for water and an
unlimited supply 1T all times is one that
comes up for discussion in every city,
town and village in the State at some time
or other, and as might be expected the
corporation enjoying the privileges of a
franchise and reaping all the benefits is
averse 10 any reduction, no matter how
Bile, and there are always ex uses
to bc made when Improvements in the
system are demanded.
For years, in fact since its existence,
Vallejo has suffered for lack OF sufficient
water. The owners of the old water works
refused at all times to consent to reason
able demands made by the Board of City
Trustees. John Frey of the board and
one of the oldest business men of the
town. broached the plan of Vallejo owning
its own ater works. he was ably sec
opGed by Mayor George Rounds and the
other Trustees-J. B. McCauley. j. A.
Browne, Frank 0'Grady, George RebuTn
and q. A. Bergwall-men who had been
elected on the Republican and Democratic
tickets, but who were known TO be able
and fearless advocates of the city of
Vallejo owning its own water rights, and
also favorable to any project that would
tend TO Improve and enhance the value OF
the place not alone for residence but for
business purposes.
The proposition was successfully carried
out and now Vallejo boasts of wafer
system that cannot be equaled.
Ii attempting to carry out their plan the
Trustees were bitterly opposed by the old

filed for the first time the frat of this
week, requiring four days to fill. 1t is
sufficient for four days consumption in
case of an accident OF any kind to the
main.
The city is now we'll covered with dis
trlbuting pipes. Already some 800 or 400
houses nave been supplied with tile Green
Valley water. and within thirty DAYS
time ii is confidently asserted that nine
tenths of the people will be consumers of
water owned by the CITY. The cost IF the
en- ire works is much less ID every re-
spect than The estimates, although the
system is not entirely completed as yet.
The first year the taxpayers will pay SO
per year for water, reduction of balf
over the old rates.

SENT TO SCHOOL.
Young AImon Smith to
Be Properly Trained.
The Troubles Between Cashier Charles
ii. Smith and His Wife Not
Adjusted Yet.

The long-existing trouble between
Charles z. Smith. cashier in the employ
of the Southern Pacific Company. and bis
wife. Josephine. came up once more be-
fore Judge Hrbbard yesterday.
a decree OF separation was granted to
the husband some time ago, but the ques-
tion of alimoDy for the support OF the wife
and her son, Almon, was not decided until
quite recently. 1t was then agreed that
Smith should pay $40 month out of his
$500 salary, 500 of whic ich was to support
Mrs. Smith. and the remaining $40 be used
to educate the boy.
Yes erday Smith came before the court
with petition that the order for alimoDy
be modified. He claimed that his wife is
unable to take proper care OF their son.
He desired that the boy be sent to school,
and said that he had been much ANNOYED
by constant communications from Mrs.
Smith on tile subject.
In support of tnis petition number of
le tiers from Mrs. Smith To her ex-hus Oand
were introduced IN which she stated that
the boy was beyond her control. They
were threatening letters, too. aud appeared
TO have been written 1or the purpose of
compelling Smi b to pay certain bills
which she had contracted. If he Gid not
comply startling revelations we're 10 be
made concerning Smiths conduct in the
past IL was also her intention to make
trouble with c. 7. Huntington concerning g
the accommodation of certain women with
passes over tue railroad.
AS to divorce, Mrs. Smith intimated in
one of her letters that IL WAS her intention
to obtain one when she felt like it." but
tnat If lie thought that she would consent
tU divorce without the receipt of a hand
some sum OF money from him. he was very
much mistaken. AS to their child, Almon,
he had passed beyond her control, and she
could now DO longer manage him.
In court yesterday Mrs. Smith SAID that
things had changed little since those let
ers were written; that her son was more
tractable, and she did not desire to part
with him. Judge Hehbard, however. de-
rided that the boy ought TO receive some
proper training. and at the suggestion If

May be Cleaned with Hose.

The ideal house of the future will be
one that can be cleaned with a hose.
This idea is not so unata;nable as at
first sight it may seem to be. The
drawing rooms and halls of the most
luxurious houses are now paved in
Mosaic. The use of Verona and MI
sidian marbles and of California onyx
are not uncommOnly found as vain
scoting. Every year brings to light
new American marbles. These, such
as the green of Tennessee and sort
of crushed strawberry Of Texas, have
fallen in happily with the newest
fashions n color. For people of less
means there are the enamel bricks
that have caught the iridescence of
soap bubbles, and piles that look like
tortoise shell. Encouraging news
comes from the makers Of artificial
marble. who expect shortly to offer
every quality and every tint within
the reach of most people. The best
hopes are however. with the stained
glass mosaics are vitrtied floors that
are to be both beautiful and cheap.
The truth is that this season there are
too many occupants of every house.
There are nations of croton bugs that
have coloniZed N the wood wainscot-
ny of city houses and regiments of
ambitious creatures who want to be
on too intimate terms with man.
Housekecpers say that scarcely with
in memory has the warfare they have
had to wage been so deadly and so
stubborn The real aim of arch tee
turc to them seems to be the contriv-
ing of houses that will accommodate
only mankind. The hospitality of the
modern house increases its drudgery
onc-hllf When the house can be
cleaned with hose the privacy of the
family can be re-eStablished.-Ho
