the people were quietly permitting the tlme for action on their part to go by While every day of delay brought the Jop that much nearer consummation.
 In addition to the newspapers, the people are now after some of the indi- Vldual members of the City Council whose records on the water question they do not approve of. F. NJ. Nic- keil Is Democrat and a member of the Council from the First Ward. He IS the chairman of the most important committee in the Council, and just how ne got the appointment is a mystery. The Council was organized against the Democrats owing to the fact that Her man Silver, the League for Better City Government Councilman, holding the deciding vote, acted with the Repub- hcans. Nearly every important com mfttee chairmanship that the president or the Council had was given to a Re publican. and the committees were ap- pointed on a basis of one Democrat to two Republicans. But, of all commit tees in this Council, the Water Supply committee was the most important, and as chairman of this committee President Silver named Democrat, F. NJ. Nickell
 In the campaign it was freely alleged that Nickell had, during previous term in the Council and at critfoli moment, failed of his duty in the mat ter or purchasing land for central works, yet with this taint attaching to him President Silver reversed the or der of things and named him as chair man of the Committee on Water Sup ply.
 This immediately caused comment. and ever since has been the topic of discussion. MT. Nickell has been strong and unrelenting advocate of de- lay, and in Councilman Charles H. Toll. who is also on the committee. he has an unwavering supporter. At the pub lie meeting of the Water Supply Com mittee, which was held some time back, Mir. Toll stepped right into the ranks and the opinion was expressed by some present that instead of Councilman he acted the part of paid attorney of the water company.
 Councilman Nickell is to be called to answer at once. A very sharp and

lined pipes, utterly worthless, and of Finch and 9-inch wrought iron pipes is the extent of the present plant.
 The map of the projected water works system, supposedly to be in the custody of the city officials, must have been placed at the disposal of inter ested parties, was copied by some one and palmed off to the unsuspecting reader as a fac-simile of the existing plant in the nature of an authorized statement'-of fancies, not facts
 "The descriptive statement abounds with facts in keeping with the illustra- tions
 Tt states falsely every feature of the system represents the most serviceabIe material and mode of construction ob tainable;' the true facts are: The pipe system consists of old, deteriorated. rusty pipes of wrought iron, sheet iron and cement-lined pipes, aggregating 6S per cent, together with 32 per cent of cast iron mains. The sizes range from two-inch, three-inch and four-inch to thirty inches; of the former there are 79 per cent, or over 1.286,000 feet. out of 8 total of 1.626, 900 feet. The fumes are in bad condition and need replacement by others; their sizes are inadequate fer the present re- quirements.
 The false facts recited state that notwithstanding the unusually large area for a city of it's size, covered by Los Angeles, and, too. in spite of the widely different attitudes the service for all purposes never fails.
 ''The true facts. as can be verified, are
The San Francisco call., 1898-01-23

simply a cry for a better supply for domestic and fire extinguishment pur- poses. Every tenant on a street served by a two-inch water main will cheer fully subscribe to this actual fact.
 "As stated. in all 335 miles of mains are used in this city AS found at the investigation. there are but 318.6 miles of mains, conduits, tunnels, fumes, etc. within and without the city limits The source of supply at Crystal Springs seems to be the pet argument for rec ognition of value, monetary and other wise. It reads as follows: This spring water comes from the snow of the mountain ranges and bursts forth from the gravelly soil pure and uncontami- mated by either animal or vegetable de- cay. And again. in a previous state ment in another Los Angeles paper in an article entitled The Water We Drink the writer of this article takes us again to Crystal Springs and pro- ceeds to tell us of three springs issu- ing as it were from the bowels of the earth through thousands of feet of the purest of solid loam sand
 We will cite in the following com ment upon this false statement made by another engineer of this city who has had the opportunity to investigate with the eye and intellect of a trained engineer. He comments as follows: This is indeed scenic revelation and person would need to possess a fertile imagination and barren con- science to be able to say there was even one spring. The fact is that Crystal Springs Is a misnomer, a christening of that which was conceived in sin at the organization of the Crystal Springs Land and Water Company, whose real existence, outside of the Los Angeles City Water Company. is a myth. The development of millions of gallons of water at this point is an un- truth; the whole supply, with the ex- ception of possibly ten miners inches, coming by infiltration from the Los Angeles River, and is as much the cor pus or body of the river as that which flows visibly upon the surface of the channel bed.
 'The people of Los Angeles are receiv- ing Los Angeles River water, the infil- tration pipes are totally interwoven with vegetable growth; animal contanl- ination as well is probable on account of the presence of surrounding graz ing lands. whence this water is derived. Swimming holes at Garvanza, and other so-called headworks and source of supply, testify to the desir- able cleanliness of boys and men living in that neighborhoOd to the distinct disadvantage of the people to whom such water is served after the perform ance of such ablutions.
 !, "A comparison of similar facts and fancies relating to the Los Angeles Wa terworks Company's plant could be drawn out at considerable length if wanted. The above will no doubt suf- flee to place existing affairs in the right light to the reader.

SUIT F0R LfBEL
 FILED AGAINST THE
 LOS ANGELES HERALD.
Mr. Putton Mil Kot Submit to the NLifca- ton From the Organ Of the Ring Formed
 to Loot the Southern City

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22.-H. W. Pat ton to-day filed his suit for $50,000 libel against the Los Angeles Herald. The attorneys for MT. Patton are Works & Lee, Davis & Winder and M. w. Conkling The herculean efforts that are being put forth by the Los Angeles City Water Company to save its combi- nation of newspapers and Councilmen from going to pieces are now engaging the attention of the community. The blows dealt by The Call to the syndi- cated newspapers and the public ofti- cials who, by their treachery, were seeking to deliver the city over to the water company, bound hand and foot, for another half a century, have had a most telling effect.
 What has aroused the people more than anything else to the importance of activity in this matter was the exposure of the well-defined plan of the corpo- ration to have it's lease extended for a period of fifty years. The people thor oughly understand the corporation S policy in securing delay on the part of the City Council in compelling 1t to pro ceed under its lease on contracts It is we'll known that the company had not and has not now any idea of turn ing the plant over to the city at the expiration of its lease. By the con- nivance of it's tools in the City Council and with the assistance of other public servants it was proposed to deliber- ately place the municipal water rate payers in the power of the water com- pany for fifty years longer, and then the cinch would be complete. The three daily papers were to give to the trai- tors in public office who would thus be- tray their trusts all the protection that could be afforded them.
 But The Call has stepped into the breach and exposed this nefarious plot, with all of its attendant infamies. and the fat is in the fire. Such an aroused sentiment among the whole people has never before been seen in this city. On every side the parties to this gigantic job are condemned. Of course, now that the exposure Is made, the syn dicated dailies disavow connection with the scheme. It was not to be expected they would plead guilty to the charge of wanton betrayal.
 It is only necessary to state in this connection that certain party close to the water company, in thought less moment said that as soon as the extension Of the lease was secured a company stood prepared to give the present stockholders $4,000, 900 in cash for the plant.
 This gives the lease and franchise, if extended, a cash value of 5000, 900, for the actual value of the plant is but lit tie over S1 ,000, 900. It was a large stake the company. the allied press and the traitors to the people, now holding Of flee at the City Hall, were playing for, and owing to the newspaper combine

VICTORIA, Jan. 22.-The British ship Commonwealth, of 5000 tons carrying capacity, has been abandoned on the coast of Vancouver Island and picked up by the steamer Willapa of this city. She is safely anchored in Sidney Inlet.
 The Commonwealth was bound from Kobe to Portland, and broke her shaft. She drifted for three weeks and finally came to anchor near Nootka Sound. The anchor chains parted, and the crew took to the boats in panic and made land safely.

pertinent communication has been ad- dressed to him by the chairman of the late Democratic convention, the chair man of the Populist City Committee and the members of the Silver f:epub- lican executive committee, asking him to explain his course, and directly charging him with violating his pledges made to the three organiza- tions when they supported him for Councilman.
 The water company has placed a lobby in the field to prevent, if pos sible, any further action being taken by the political or other organizations in regard to this matter. The lobby includes some aStute politicians, and their task is to prevent any expression on the part of the people of their wishes in the matter of the situation of the water fight through central committees or clubs.
 The particularly villainous and in- decent manner in which the Los An geles Herald is waging the water companys battle meets with condem- nation on all sides. Republicans, as well as Democrats and Populists, ex- pressing their contempt for it's meth ods of defending the corporation, which absolutely controls it's editorial policy. In the Democratic ranks, how ever, the Herald is receiving the worst drubbing. It is directly flying in the face of the policy of the party as ex- pressed in its municipal platform, and IS at all times discredirfng the efforts or the Mayor and the two faithful Councilmen to carry out their pledges. Many Democrats have openly declared in favor of holding a meeting of the City Central Committee for the pur- pose and announcing to the public that the policy it is pursuing on the water question places it without the pale as a Democratic journal

NAPA, Jan. 22.-When approached in the murderers' cell of the County Jail this afternoon, George Willard Clark was gazing meditatively through the skylight above him. The huge iron door swung back, but still the prisoner seemed lost to all about him. Not until spoken to did he turn his head Then a quick, piercing glance met the gaze of The Call correspondent, and half-smil- ing, he said: How do." He gave a chair to his visitor, and moved himself to the end of his cot.
 Sheriff Mckenzie stood by for a min ute and asked him how he felt. He re- piled that he felt better than for some time past and had slept nicely the night previous-much better than on the first night of his incarceration. He in- quired about the funeral of his brother and the outcome of the inquest. He

unsuccessful in that place that he was
obliged to move OF ard finally located
in Rock Springs. True. he is in need OF
a place where he can get a regular sal
airy hut the position of secretary Of state
is out of his line.
Priest, their candidate for state au-
ditor. did not get the nomination be-
cause of his ability to fill the office. but
fer the reason hat he was willing to be
called a silver republican. He Is so no.
t~oriously deficient in qualities neces-
sary in a state auditor that Alger and
Arnold nave been ashamed Of him from
the first and have advised him to re-
main at home during the campaign. OF
course they do not expect him TO lie
elected or come any where near it.
jerome +. Brown, their %cadidate Tor
superintendent of public instruction,
has an itching for office and always mas
shown a Willingness to accept a nomi-
nation from any party who would ten
der it. 1t is useless to speak of his
ability to fill the place for which he has
been nominated. for he hasn't any.
The democrats call him a silver repub-
iican. but he really isn't anything and
never was, for any great length OF
time. Politically he has run down at
the heel and has reached the end of his
string.
There is only one more candidate to
mention of the state ticket and that is
Charles E. Biydengurg. who wants a
place on the supreme bench. 1t can
be said Of him that he is a clever fellow,
fairly successful as a prosecuting at
torney for Carbon county and the peo-
pie OF the state have nothing against
him. Some say that he is an allround
good fellow, but there has never been
any serious intention Of placing him
upon the supreme bench or for that
matter upon any other bench.
For congress the democratic party
has named C. P. Arnold, a gentleman
who as an orator stands high in his
own estimation. He is a lawyer by pro-
f~ession. cute and all that, but the peo-
pie Of Wyoming do not care to be rep
resented by a man who will be as weak
in congress as is Osborne. Arnold
makes a pretty good appearance but
when he speaks there Is a squeak in
his voice, which is SO d~isagreeable,
when there is company around. His or
atory is of that blank kind so difficult
to grasp. totally void Of strength or
point and always fails to give out any,
thing that the average nearer a carry
away with him. Webster defines dem
agogue as an artful politician and this
suits Arnold exactly.
