MAYOR BALDWIN AND DIR. CHEAT.
HAM IN THE RACE.
A City Primary to Be Held. Mass
Meeting at the Court House
Tonight.

Municipal politics are now engaoing
the attention OF the average citizen of

test Tor the local offices every year, but

for the years that were missed.

OF Mayor Baldwin and Aldermen Dean
Davis, Bishop, Melton, Lowrey and
hainey. The terms of Mayor BALDWIN
and Aldermen Dean, Davis and Bishop
expire in December. They have made
ef1clent officials and announce elsewhere
IN The NEWS for reelection.
Ex-Mayor w. B. Cheatham. who was suc-
ceeded by Mayor Baldwin several wears
ago after one of the hardest fought and
bitterest elections ever witnessed in naw-
son, has announced himself candidate
Ior mayor and begun an active campaign.
no aldermanic ticket in opposition to
Messrs. Dean, Davis and Bishop has been
announced, but it is generally under.
stood that there will be one.
Mayor Baldwin and DIR. Cheatham are
TWO OF the most popular men in Dawson,
and race between them will be exciting.
The people of the city do not want
another bitter factional fight, which al,
ways grows out of scrub race, and it
has been determined tc have mass meet
ing at the court house tonight to arrange
for primary and thus eliminate the
floating vote from the contest. This
movement is perfectly agreeable to all
parties concerned, and will be acquiesc-
ed in by them.
The meeting at the court house will
be called to order at 7.3O O'Clock. and ev-
cry democratic voter in the city is urged
to be present.

Irrigation Deoiaion by the Supreme Court
#M Means Prosperity for Them.
" SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.-Much local
interest is felt here in the decision Of
the United State supreme court in the
irrigation bonds case, for on it the de-
velopment of the state greatly depends.
About 81, 900, 900 of irrigation bonds are
held in this vicinity and in Europe.
Local banks and capitalists have .ad.
vanced much money upon the bonds as
collateral security and decision that
they are valid means the immediate
establishment Of a strong market value
for them, the issuance of ,r6e bonds
and the opening up Of vast areas Of
rich farming lands, which, coupled
with the advance in wheat, will make
the state more prosperous than ever. A
decree Of the supreme court confirming
Judge Ross decision that the bonds
were invalid would haye meant loss
to the extent Of the money invested in
them and loaned upon them and the re.
tarding Of the important work of irri-
cation for a time.

NO FIRE ALARM.
The City Should Have Some
Means Of Conveying Fire
Alarms.

For several months the city fire
alarm has been out Of use The
Electric & Water company formerly
had cl,argeOf the alarm. aud received
$40 a month for the work. When
the crusade against the Electric &
Water company was at It's height
the agreement to care for the fire i
alarm was terminated BY the city
and since then it nas not been in use.
Now there Ii NO way ~ conveying
an alarmtto rhes fire station, or from
the fire station to the pumping
station. s.3$
The Electric & Water company
never desired the work OF caring for!
the fire alarm, as 1t imposed the OBJ
legation to keep in good order the
apparatus BY which they were to he
notified that fire pressure was want.
! ell on the mains. But the company
seemed the only one that was pre-
/! pared TODD the work. They are glad
to be relieved Of it. but AL the inter-
!, ests Of the city are jeopnrdized by
the present conlitiOns. For instance.
On Sunday evening some III the EN-
ployes III the company happened 10
see The Perry fire, and the pressure
| was at once raised to u point that
would have been efficient II nee dec.
| But the second fire, late in the night,
| was not heard Of by the conpnny's
employees till the Lex, morning.
| While the ordinary pressure will fur
nish water enough for one stream, ii
| the fire had been serious the depart
ment would not have had sufficient
| water until word had been sent to
| the station. Such contingency
could easily give a fire u chance to
get beyond the control Of the depart
ment. and that il where the danger
comes in. The city must notify the
company when fire pressure is want
ed, and it is folly to trust to luck
that the man at the sta ton may
hear of the fire by chance.
The council can now easily find
someone who can attenu the halter
les and alarm boxes Of the fire alarm
system, and that is about all Chere
is to do. When changes in the wires
are necessary some of the electric
light linemen can make them. as no
one else would care, or tie allowed,
to work upon the poles amOng>tfe

system should be in working order,
as its present condition is liable to
be d. very expensive economy.
