70 state again that my kick is not in any

that he had employed his wife in the
Office and WAS Obliged TO work over

hours" Do our officers dare claim that
they work rs many hours In the office
as do the taxpayers at their business
And 0nr wives work with us, too. Ask
the stock men, farmers and merchants il
they know such thing ms tower honrs 2"

years, we're willing to do the work for

wages than 1880 per day all the year

Outlook for Water Works
Favorable.

Mr.. H. Orchard, Q practical water
works man, and the owner Of several
water systems In different towns In this
and adjoining states, arrived In Condor
on Thufsday Of last week, In response
70 request from the city council that
no come here and investigate the prop
osition Of putting Ia water system.
Perhaps at no time In the history Of
Condor has the visible supply Of water
been less than at present, but II no.
qnIres only q brief investigation on the
part Of Mr.. Orchard TO convince him
that 80 ample supply can readily be
obtained 70 furnish an abundance Of
pure water Tor ell purposes.
A called meeting Of the city cou neil
was held Thursday evening. q number
Of citizens also being present, at which
time Mr.. Orchard made an informal re-
port on the proposition, ~ is had lm-
pressed him during the short time he
had had 70 investigate II.
Ia the drst place Mr.. Orchard stated
that there 10 absolutely no question
about obtsining sufficient supply OF
water, the large number Of excellent
wells now existing In the town being
proof positive that water can be found
wherever We have mind 10 diY for it,
1t an average depth ot about 20 feet.
In THE connection the gentleman re-
ierred 70 the proposition Of sinking
test well for artesian water. which 10
now under consideration by the city
fathers, and gave II ~ bis opinion that
flowing we'll might be secured here.
Continuing, Mr.. Orchard recommend
ed the following system: A tank hav-
lns capacity of 20. 900 70 1000 gallons
10 be erected on concrete pillars IA feet
high, on the high ground Just north Of
town. This would give an elevation Of
something like % feet above the busi.
ness portion Of the town and would give
ampIe hre protection ~ the entire town.
Tbs wsier supply would bs drawn either
from the Main street spring, aud frun
wells already owned by the city, or from
a large we'll 10 be excavatsd near the
proposed site Of the tank, or from all Of
! bsse II necessary. The power recon.
mended, would, 10 the main. be iurnish-
I'd By wind mills To be supplemented by
= 0 or S.horse power gasoline engine, |
which could be used in case Of an en,erg-
sncy when the wind failed 70 furnish
The necessary power.
Mr. Orchard impressed our council
men and citizens generally 40 man
sbo thoroughly understands his busi.
ness, and his very favorable report has
given the proposition new life.
The council held another meeting Fri
lay evening and unanimously decided
" order an election. at which the prop
'si,lon Of bonding the city for the sum
II $500 will be submitted u the people.
The election is called for Saturday,
September 3 I'd.

Composltors sometimes make some
awkward blunders. Something Of this
kind may have happened In the Jour
nal Office last week when the "Condon
Notes" were being put in type. In the

may have inadvertently substituted the
word "littte" for dozen. The cores

On Thursday OF last week Otis Helms,
who resides near Twickenhan, met
with serious accident ct the Jas. Nor

msn was helping Jos. Frizssll with y
drive oi the Gilman cattle, and while
riding at rapid rate his horse stepped
In badger hole and fell, rolling over
the rider. Helms was picked up in an
unconscious condition aud at last reports
had not regained consciousness. His
recovery is considered doubtful. A ain
gular feature Of the accident was that
not 40 much as a braise could be found
on HE body.
The GInBE man. in company with II.
N. Frazer, enjoyed short outing last
Saturday and Sunday In Trail Fork pre-
cinet. Chicken shooting was the prime
object Of the expedition, but, as both
the gentlemen have gilt-edge regulations
for modeety TO sustain, we will refrain
from naming the number Of birdie killed.
We never boast. An invitation from O..
W. White was unanimously accepted,
and tho cordial hospitality Of his cub
stantIal and comfortable home was
thoroughly enjoyed. Trail Fork lie a
favored section. The people are pros
perous and hospitable; the cattle are
sleek and fat, and the chickns are az
gamay a. any sportsman could desire.

A Well Attended Meeting in Mari.
eta Club Rooms. ~

One of the most successful meetings
of the Village Improvement, .Associa-
ton was held Tuesday afternoon at
the Marietta Club Rooms. The meet
ing was called to order by the Presi-
dent and after the reading of the min
utes by Mrs. c. H. Turner, Secretary
pro tenn, the reports Of the treasurer
and several committees were given.
Miss Payne opened the special pro-
gram for this meeting with piano
solo, Scherzo in D fiat, Chopin.
DR.. Waters gave an interesting talk
on The Laws Governing the Work of
the Board ofHealth and the Relation
of the v. /. A. To It." He spoke of the
members composing Board of Health
and the laws under which they act.
He thought the V. l. A. cleaned thecity
more from an aesthetic point of view
and the Board of Health from sani-
tary standpoint. In using the Ice Har-
bor lot as a dump-ground the remain
der of the season DR.. Waters explained
that the Board of Health had been en-
powered to purchase the ground for
that purpose but that it was a diff
cult thing to get suitable piece of
ground The speaker thought the
time was not ripe to enforce an ordi-
nance against the splitting habit.
Miss Rowena Buell. followed DR..
Waters with a paper on What Can Be
Done to Improve Our Residence
streets?" Miss Buell. told of the sue
cess the v. l A. had met with in
cleaning the business portion of the
town and thought the residence por-
tion could be kept in much better con-
dition at the same cost, the residence
portion being naturally much cleaner
in itself. Miss Buell. said the Street
Commissioner was doing as much as
he could with the funds at his disposal,
out thought with the increase Of paved
streets that larger fund for street
cleaning purposes would follow nee
essarily and hoped, another season,
that each street might be swept at
least once in six weeks..s Miss. Row
eia Buell. read most excellent papeg,
in which were many good ideas ex-
pressed. She spoke Of the appearance
of the Methodist Episcopal church
property on the corner of Third and
Wooster, especially in the high trim
ming of the trees. She thought the
town would be improved II the trees
were trimmed similarly on all the
streets. The President asked for re-
marks on this subject and by request
Miss Florence Dale told of some of the
cities she had visited in Europe and
the methods used to keep them clean.
TIE chairman Of the committee on
graveyards appointed meeting Of all
lot owners or persons interested in
Mound Cemetery to meet at the
Mound, September 9th, at O'Clock,
on WHICH, occasion several addresses
will be made.
The program. closed with a vocal
solo by Miss Murial Palmer, of Bos-
ton, Irish Folk Song by Arthur Foote.
Miss Palmer was encored and sang
