sperm candles three for twenty-five cents
and everything else in proportion. AL

says the night of the 18th was the coolest
of the season, the mercury registering 10
degrees below zero. Friday night also
was a singer. The blackbirds came up
from the tule sWampS during the warm

sang a triumphant serenade anthem near
the Blade office. a part of the song, like

| The enterprising little village of Wales
! IS to have a system of water works. The
water wiz be piped from some springs
west of town. the .farthest one being
! about two and one-half miles distant
The people will all assist in the work
and the only cash outlay will be for the
pipe. The filthy condition. of the bitches

that it would be a good idea for Ephraim

compared to human life, yet it is safe
| to say that the filthy water which a
| large majority Of the people have been
| compelled to use for culinary purposes
| has been the means of destroying many
I lives. We have the pure5t of mountain
water at our doors and the cost of bring
ing it into the city would be very slight
compared to the great benefit it would
be to the people. 1t should be done
