a statement q the publlc.

On acc ,unt OF the decrease 10 the de-
mand for Onava Alternative water occasion.
ed by the announcement Of d raise in the
price to twenty cents per gallon, Chas.
Wright desires that a statement be made
to the public concerning the cost Of deliver
ing this water. He wants the public to
know that he hsa had to 20 to the expense
of three large galvanized tanks. the fitting
up of one two-horse wagon and one one
horse wagon, that 1t has been necessary to
employ one man who has spent more than
half bis time to draw this water nine miles
to town and another who has taken all his
time TO deliver IL about the town. He has
had to buy 500 jugs TO facilitate his hand
ling the city trade.
During the time be has been delivering
this water he has sustained a loss In cash
Of $2O3 50 and while he has been willing to
give the public the benefit OF his
money for q time, be does not feel that be
can afford to do 50 longer. As the pubic
seem to feeltbat he Is taking an unfair
advantage by raising the price, b makes
this proposition:
"To any person who will make a thor
ough canvass Of the two TOW ns and de-
liver water to all who desire same for ten
per gallon, I will furnish all the
Onava Alternative water necessary to IN
orders, free Of charge whatsoever.
