We want to see our people self

A people who are always import

are always becoming poorer, and
that is too much the case with us
In Southern Utah. True, the
mines have been a help, but all
cannot be miners, as somebody
must grow the necessities Of life to
supply those vino do mine, and if
we do not grow them here, the
money must go off to bring them
in. In growing articles for sale,
those in greatest demand are what

What the Herald says, we

tion apropos OF the discontinuance OF

Officers Poor Eye.

A smooth-faced Second avenue bus
mess man came into the court room
during the progress of the pickpock-
cts trial the other day and took a
seat among the large crowd o: spec
tators. He was neatly dressed and
appeared very much interested in
what TRANSFERRED between witnesses
and counsel.
The deputy from the sheriff's Of
fi'e, who has resided here long
enough to know nearly every one in
the city and who occupies seat in
front of the judges rostrum while
court is in session, began cycling the
late arrival. Finally he employed
the assistance of his eye glasses.
Yet he seemed unsatistied. He fig.
eted aroung awhile. Then he medi-
taxed; took another long glance at
the Second avenue man. sizing him
up from head to toe, then gave it
up. 1t was evident that something
was bothering him. Finally he sum
moned gentleman and whispered
in his ear. He was answered softly
he looked around at the man again
and then his face took on the ap.
pearance of an aged beet.

Don't Know What to Think.

Chief Etzel don't know what to
think about the robberies which
have been occurring with such I'M
usual frequency in Rock Island of
late. He says all the attaches of the
department have kept their lamps
frightened since the first visitation
of the midnight mauraders, but have
been unable thus far to land any of
them.
But we'll get 'em yet" the chief
said. II hardly know what to say as
to who is doing these jobs; but
hardly believe that outsiders are re-
sponsible. for all the work that has
been done. Anyhow, it looks as though
people pretty well acquainted with
affairs had been taking hand"

why does the council hesitate on

This was the question put to an

ny citizen who keeps track OF pub
lie Improvements, and the addressed
admitting that he could not present
an answer. the interrogation contin-
ned: What l cannot understand is
that with the ma iority of the coun-
Gil favorable to the project. as the
case seems indisputably to be. why
there should be SO much putting OF
from time to time and from one
meeting to another. Every irregu-
larity that may now stand in the
way OF the Improvement could be
wiped away and the work advanced
at a single meeting. as Lhope to see i,
done at the next session OF the mu
nicipal assembly"
IL know Of some of the complica
tons that have arisen in the past,
and know of some of the influences
that are at work to kill this levee
Improvement. l know of unneces
sary delay on the part of some of the
salaried city officials in this matter
and on this account admire the way
the aldermen have stuck to this pro
iect. 1t is happy thought to know
that the ma ority of the council
stand by the undertaking. but why
further delay? The Rock Island
council is making history in thi
river front business. The time will
come when every present member
of the council who favors this en-
terprise will be proud of it and every
one who opposes it will see the error
of his ways, and if he does not SCI
it there are plenty of people in Rocl
Island who will keep it before hin
until he does.
As to the Terminal Company.
Now about this terminal com
pany's various enterprises. am il
the first place a friend of the termi
nal company; believe in encourag.
ing it. but this thing of delaying i'm
provements of a vital nature unit
it suits the convenience of these join
corporations now seeking rights OF

wait au indefinite time to go ahea
with our improvements until tn,
terminal company or its ally i

the privileges it has there, or unit
, it gets such additional rights as il
may be after?

POISON POLLUTED.
Condition of Some of the Well
Water in Rock Island.
RESULT OF THE ANALYTICAL TEST

some OF the Sources of Supply should
Be Filled Up-Result of An Important
Iavestig alton.
Last evening Health Commissioner
E NJ. Sala received the analysis of
The samples OF water taken from the
various sources of supply in Rock
Island and sent to Prof. A. w. Pal
mer, of the state university at Cham
paign. The chemical examination
applied to seven samples. three from
the water pumped from the river,
one from the Mitchell & Lynde arte.
sian we'll. one from a well on First
avenue and Ninth street, one from a
we'll at ZIG Sixth avenue, and one
from the well on the court house
grounds. The result is to reestab-
lish the dangers in the use of we'll
water and to sustain the warnings so
frequently made by the leading
physicians of Rock Island is this re-
gard. The ordinary well upon which
a great many Of our people rely is
found to be curse, and If two OF
the wells whose supply has under
gone inspection are to afford cri-
terion most of those throughout the
city should be filled up and their
use discontinued in the interest of
public health. The one on Ninth
street and First avenue and the one
GA Sixth avenue near Twenty-sev-
enth were found to be polluted with
poison as deadly to the human sys-
tenn as could be imagined, evidence
of sewage and drainage from ami
NAL refuse being abundant. The
court house well is not in a particu
larly alarming condition. although
there were traces of draining of veg
etable matter, and this will be inves-
tigated. The artesian water from
the Mitchell & Lynde well was
awarded the palm for purity. 1t
was shown to be the best of all.
The River Water.
The river water test was very sat-
isfactory. The sample taken froE.
the river Just before the water en-
tiers the intake pipe showed it to be
comparatively free from contamina-
ton. That as it had passed through
| the pipe was of course about the
same, while after it had gone
through the filter was greatly i'm
proved and in it were found no eIe-
ments of danger to those consuming
| it. Still DR.. Sala holds that there
should be no abatement of the pre-
cautions many have taken of late in
boiling all water consumed. This is
the safest and surest way to destroy
the possible existence of typhoid
germs.
The analysis ought to serve as a
solemn warning to people to avoid
we'll water. While the city should
at the earliest possible opportunity
extend it's river water supply, it
should likewise increase the filtering
capacity at the works. The system
has grown SO extensively since the
one presented by Mr.. Cable, and af-
terward enlarged by him. was put in,
that it is now inadequate to thor
oughly cleanse more than half the
water that goes into the city mains.
But people should make the best
of the circumstances they are inland
Rock Island is by no means as badly
off as many other cities-and he care
full about what water they use.
