EDITOR HERALD:-I see that the

of Miller of EaStland and tries to put a
different face entirely on certain Oc-
curreuces VIII le there. | have 20 doubt

Now let us see how the other side stood,

they were all very friendly to Miller,

The WhyfOreness of il.

Mayor Magoffin and City Engineer
Wimberly said today that it would not
do at present to close up the gap in the
north bank of the river east of the
Stanton street bridge, ami for this rea-
son: The sewerage outlet is washed
completely out for about 1900 feet or
more, but the current now running
through the corner of ward 2 catches
up the sewerage discharge and carried
it on to the river at the intersection of
Second street.
If the gap is closed, the current will
stop, and with it the sewerage of the
city, making all that part of the coun-
try the center of a pestiferous nastiuess
and perhaps the source of contagion.
However, sufficient sewer pipe has
been sent for, and as soon as the sewer
is connected directly with the river,
the gao will be closed up, and ward
people will be able to rebuild their de-
molished homes.

WHAT'S the Natter?

Several propositions have been made
to the city to dam the new channel of
the river and turn the water back into
the old channel. George Gaennie has
offered to do the work for $500, but has
been refused the job. Gaennie says
the mayor offered the job to the Texas
& Pacific railroad for $500 and he does
not see why the city will not let him
do it for the same figure. Some time
ago the same offer was made, and the
brick yard company then offered to
pay part OF the amount but still the
mayor would give no decided answer
For over two months now the people in
Southeast Ell Paso have had the water
over their property and it is about
time something was done to stop it.

CREAM RAISING IN A WELL

It is established that no system without the use of separation or ice has yet been discovered by which perfect recovery of the cream contents of milk can be secur- ed, but where the herd is too small to justify the expense of a separator or ice is not available a good method is to fit up a we'll creamery. A we'll four feet in diameter will care for the milk of 10 COWS, but if it were six feet 1t would be better
 Fit out 8 sufficient number of common milkings, with loose-f1tting deep-rim covers, and stout balls so arranged as to hold the covers firmly in place when sus- pended. Provide pulley and one-hali inch rope of sufficient length to let each can when filled with milk into the water until it floats.
 It should remain undistuI bed, except by the addition of the next milking, for M hours, when it can be raised and skim. med.
 By this method an effective creamine is secured; the milk is safe from all con taimination of. flies, dust and odors. Further, the we'll affords a perfect place for the ripening and care of cream for the churn, as we'll as for the proper storage
 If this we'll creamery. system be studied and faithfully carried out, it will not only save vast amount of labor, but greatly improved the quality and increase. ths quantity of the butter made. Its worl is constant and uniform, whatever the weather may change to be, nor does il require 8 daily scrubbing and scalding.

(Annie A. Preston, in the Sunday Republican) THE BOY AND THE BROOK.


 THE BOY AND THE BROOK. DEDICATED TO CHARLES TAYLOR PRESTON
 ON HIS BIRTHDAY, AUG. 7TH. There's nothing, nothing like the brook To hold the boyish heart, To him 'tis like promise book
 Of life's great treasure mart. It ripples, ripples on its way.
 "Where goes 1t ?" asks the boy, As, idling some bright summer day,
 It gives his thoughts employ. "'Tis flowing, flowing to tho sea, Wavelets will pillows make !" The boys heart swells with things to be, The mans heart is awake. Its murmur, murmur is song Beguiling to the boy: Why, must to the world belong"
 A winsome thought, but coy. It spreads and spreads in meadows green, Its face a mirror fair; Here an inverted world Is seen,
 The boy finds it a snare. These depths on depths confound his soul. "Away!" is now his cry, ''The ripples go to find goal, A goal too must have l." And still and still the brook goes on, The boy to manhood grown Mayhap has many harvest won That boyish thoughts have sown. And now, ah now, his heart returns, From city by the sea, To trace the brook among the ferns,
 The boy that used to be. A boys heart still, though old in years, He thanks God this Is so, And sighs, "I find the brook endears
 The life of long ago. 2 --e "There's nothing, nothing like the brook To lift the human heart. Iris like a leaf of Gods own book,
 Of endless life part" Maple Corners" Wilmington, Conn
