COMMUNICATED.

Since the publication Of the item
last week stating that one feature Of
the Adams County society's press
work was to publish the record Of
petitions for saloon licenses together
with the names of petitioners, some
of our citizens have been disturbed
over the matter. Such persons should
remembe that these petitions become
public documents aiming to influence
the work of the city council upon
matters of Importance to the whole
community. Upon such things every
person should be informed, as we'll as
upon the many other matters that
come before the council. There are
more reasons why the personnel Of
such public document should be
thoroughly known by the people than
there are that the names of the sub
cribers to voluntary enterprise
should be published. The person pub
fishes his own name when he puts it
to public document, and he thereby
makes it legitimate matter for pub
LEGATION. Every person has the pow
err to keep his name of such public
documents as may bring publicity,
which at some future time may become
distateful to him, and if he does not,
he has no one bnt himself to blame.

easy to obtain Colville lake is an
unfailing source Of supply for not only
the present but for many years to
come. 1t is only about 16 miles dis
tant. The surface over which ditch
or pipeline would be constructed is
comparatively level between the lake
and the town, and the natural fall of
the land to the town is about ITO feet
The water could be brought in guam
titles limited only by the size OF the
pipe line or canal, by merely the force
OF gravity. All the land in the town
and for several miles above and below
could also be irrigated, thus eriving
a great source of revenue from the
water as well as adding to the comfort
and pleasure OF living here. Residents
and business would thus be attracted,
and the value of the taxable property
would be increased, as we'll as adding
greatly to the amount of taxable pro-
perty. Ritzville would then be un-
surpassed in the state as q residence
town, as it already is az business
center and market. Marketable pro-
ducts would also be increased. and
much money would be saved annually
that now goes to Walla Walla and
North Yakima for fruit and vegetables.
In my humble opinion it would be
much BETTER and more economical as
we'll IS good inve stment, to vote to
bond the town for all amount sufficient
to obtain this water supply, if it takes
$50, 900, than to expend 81 900 in sink
ing another well for small, dear and
uncertain water supply. 1t is time
to begin to look to the future. / am
in favor of taking immediate steps
toward securing the water from this
source, if possible, and if the town is
not able let the franchise be let to a
private company. Let the matter be
investigated, and / am certain it will
commend it:elf to the good judgment
of all. Yours truly,
g o. r. HoLCoMB.

ACTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

The meetings of the council occur
ring as they do on Tuesday evenings,
it is difficult for the News to give any
full account of the proceedings in the
same week US the paper is published
on Wednesday morning. There was,
however, some very Important bust
ness transacted at the meeting of
the council last week and perhaps
not the least important or least in
teresting was the prompt and unani-
nous refusal to extend the area of the
saloon in the city at the present
time, and while some good people
think they see in the consequence
financial disaster the great majority
applaud the act of the city fathers,
and we believe that time and exper-
ienee will not only justify but prove
the wisdom of it.
1t has been covertly limited that the
town is growing temperate also that
undue and unfair influence was
brought to bear upon the council.
Much as we might wish the first was
true, there is nothing in the bare fact
that the council refused the license to
warrant such statement, and the
second is too absurd to be considered
for moment by any sensible person.
The present council hare shown them
selves to be a body of sef-respecting,
safe business men, and at the same
time courteous to all and ready to
carry out the will of the majority.
1t was their judgment evidently that
another saloon situated on one Of the
principal corners was not desirable.
They probably felt that $3.50 was in
adequate at this time for such priv
elege, they may have had other reasons
but if they had there is no doubt they
were good ones. They gave their
verdict like honest men and conscien-
tious officials and the same is general
ly approved by the best citizens.

WATER SUPPLY.

Ritzville, WASH, Aug. q, 1898.
Editor News:
The water question is again to the
front in Ritzville, and the town is in
the meantime without adequate or
any fire-protection. 1t is apparently
the intention Of the town authorities
to sink some more money in more
wells. Any casual observer must be
convinced by this time that such ex-
penditure is putting money into only
temporary make-shifts at the best
and is not securing even temporarily
an ample water supply. A well or
ten wells in this locality amount to
the same thing since all wells are sup
piled by the same sources underground
The only drawback to Ritzville's
making the best inland town in the
state, 10 the absence Of sufficient water
at economical rates to supply domes-
tic and public use and to irrigate gar
dens, lawns and trees. The natural
wealth of the country surrounding
the town, snd the energy and circum-
stances Of the people, would conduce
to build up a town here of great i'm
portanee, wealth and elegance, were
it not for the scarcity of the one ele-
ment that alone can give safety against
FIRE, and add beauty to the surface by
promoting the growth oftrees, grasses
and flowers. This is comparatively

COMING OF THE EXCURSIONISTS
Railroads Bring Many People from
AL Parts of Nebraska to At
tend the Exercises.

Several thousand people from this state
and Iowa came into the city yesterday morn
ing to take Nebraska day at the exposition.
The attendance was much larger than was
expected when the "blarsted" weather, as
one non-cussing railroad official remarked,
and the other conditions are taken into ac-
count. The excursionists arrived in the city
shortly before noon and the downtown
streets were crowded with them until early
in the afternoon when they commenced to
go out to the exposition grounds,
The Burlington brought in some thousands
from Hastings, Ravenna, Liberty, Schuyler,
Columbus and Wymore, from which the
specials ran, and intermediate points. The
trains were consolidated at Lincoln and the
excursionists were run into Omaha in
several sections. The regular trains were
also split up in sections to accommodate
the travel.
The Union Pacific had three specials and
these, together with the regular trains, were
crowded. The Rock Island ran in a couple
OF specials from Horton, Kan, and Nelson,
Neb., bringing in many eXcursionists. The
Missouri Pacific brought in more from the
south and the Elkhorn road brought in a fair
contingent. The Milwaukee and the North
western also carried in a nice batch Of the
eXcursionists.
When the trains disgorged at the depots
the big majority of the arrivals jourHeyed tc
the central portion of the city and spent ar
hour or two about town before going to the
exposition grounds. The restaurants and ho-
tells did a big business, About the same
time the streets of the central section were
pretty well packed and afterward the street
car company had its hands full in trans.
porting the people to the grounds.

WHEEL AROUND THE WORLD
Three EnEIishs Writer'S on the Home
stretch -oToa Long Run
on~tetcscies.

In July of 1896 John Foster Fraser, Ed
ward Lunn and Francis H.. Lowe left Lon
don to wheel around the world. On Mon
day they arrived In Omaha and after n few
days visit to the exposition will resume
their journey eastward, In the expectation
of arriving in London after a little more
than two years dabsence. After leaving
London the cyclists went to Antwerp, from
Antwerp they went to Brussels, where the
king Of the Belgians invited the trio to
spend Sunday with him and started them
on their journey in royal fashion. The trip
through Europe was delightful until the
wheelmen struck southern Russia and then
their troubles began. In Armenia and Per-
STA nothing but hardships awaited the
cyclists. Fanatics stoned the little party
and bandits attacked them several times,
but they made their way safely through
the country where Lentz lost his life and
arrived in India. Here fine roads awaited
them and hospitable treatment, but when
they crossed into the Chinese empire they
found a country without roads and abso-
lutely impossible to bicycles. One member
of the party suffered an attack of small
pox and the other two were so completely
worn out that they had to enter a hospital
for treatment, but as soon as they had recov-
cred they resumed their journey. In Japan
they found the wheelman's paradise and are
warm in their praises of the island.
The trip across the American desert was
a hard one and the three men suffered with
the cold in crossing the Sierras, but they
found the trip much easier than they ex-
pected from the reports they had heard of
the troubles other wheelmen have had in
that part of the United States.
Messrs. Frazer, Lunn and Lowe are news
paper correspondents and during their en-
tire trip they have correspondent with a
large European news syndicate and Mr.,
Fraser is securing material for a book. They
lay no claim TO being professional bIcyclists
and have made no attempt to break records
but have taken ample time at all points Of
\ interest

charge by Police Judge Gordon OF Ed, VIII
hanson, charged with having robbed him
Of cloth to the value OF S54 last December.
Chiado asserts that in the face of the testi-
mony of Ollie Sullivan and another negro
that they purchased a part of the stolen
cloth from Williams, the prisoner was
discharged. Influence, Chiado AYERS, was
used in securing the Liberation of the
prisoner, and he threatens to have Williams
rearrested.
Judge Gordon says hat the testimony ad

navy. of which every American is justly
proud. First within the covers of this inter-
esting work comes a map sixteen times as
large as the book itself, showing on one
side the Spanish possessions, ana all ad-
jacent territory. while on the other side
the East Indian possessions are similarly
treated. Steamship lines, with the dis
tances intervening between different points,
are shown, and a close study of these maps

this territory, in regard to which the in
terest of the American public is now at
fever heat.

While W. s. Morgan Of the Buzz Saw will
continue to carry on the ready print work.
Enforcing tits Doctrines.
THE Devir' and the Editors Desk"
combined to make f. w. d.. Mays Of the
Pomeroy (Wash.) Independent interesting.
Mr.. Mays said he was fully competent to
handle the former because he had been a
theological student once and had a diploma.
The idea Of reincarnation he was now a
believer in and he considered the modern
fusionist a bigger liar than Ananias. Some
times in running the Independent he had
found 1t necessary to use his right arm on
obstreperous individuals whose objections to
his style Of reforming the community had
been too abrupt and personal.
A proposition for an international reform
press association was then advocated by ex-
State Chairman II. S. Bentley of Texas and
the association agreed to the appointment
Of a committee of seven to carry 1t out, the
committee to be named later.
The problem Of a "Populist Editors Bank
Account was tackled next by o. Dorm
blazer of the Hillsboro (Tex.) Reformer. He
did not believe he ever would have a bank
account so long as he tried TO run a pop
ulist paper or at least until the present
financial system was changed and anybody
who would expect to run a populist paper
with n bank account wouldn't run one at
all, he said. Had he any surplus he would
put 1t all in his paper. His real bank ac-
count was a potato patch and II he needed
anything else his subscribers brought it to
him. Sometimes he thrived on watermelon.
He could have chicken, he said, were it not
that the chicken seemed partial TO the
Methodist and Baptist ministers Of his town.
The millennium of the populist editor was
still in the future. Paper money would
usher 1t in.
The paper money idea was touched upon
and considerable financial history gone over
by Marvin Warren of Fairbury, Neb., also.
President Burkitt has appointed as the
committee to confer with the exposition
management to secure representation for
the Reform Press association in the Sound
Money leagues debate in September, l.. ID.
Reynolds of the Chicago Express, w. S.
Morgan of the Louisville (Ky.) Buzz Saw
and Paul j. Dixon of the Missouri World.
The association will continue here an
other day to finish up its business.
