S. Ormsby and E. G. Gowans of this

fer with DR.. Adamson of Richmond,
and Drs Garfield and Montrose of

zens in mass meeting and discussed
the matter. They announced that un-
uuestionably the disease was caused
by the water supply, which is obtained
from surface wells. Samples of the
water were analyzed here and found to
contain the microbes of the disease.
The physicians suggested means for
checking the further spread of the
complaint, which is still unabated,
there being II or Is cases there now
The malady appears to be OF a very
fatal kind, as the percentage of deaths
has so far been very large.

PRESIDENT HIRSCH IN TOWN
TALKS OF THE GREAT LAKE
BONNEVILLE ENTERPRISE.
Has Received the Necessary Finan-
cial Backing and New Contract
Will Doubtless Be Made.

Interest in the great Lake Bonne-
vile irrigation scheme has again been
revived by the arrival of Morton B.
Hirsch. president of the company, who
is at the Knutsford. The enterprise
has now received the proper financial
backing, and at the meeting Oh tne
land board today it is quite likely tnat
a. new contract will be entered into be-
tween the company and the state. II
will be remembered that last December
the state entered into a contract with
the Lake Bonneville Water q Power
company, whereby the latter would De
enabled to commence the great work
of reclaiming something like Zl6,OOO
acres of land in MillarG county. Sixty
days were given the company in which
to file an indemnity bond to the state,
in the sum of $50 600, as a guarantee
that the company would carry out its
contract. On account of the war ex-
citement, a subsequent extension OF
time was asked for, and this period OF
grace has also expired. Now that mat
ters are again settled, the promoters
of the great enterprise are anxious TO
renew the contract with the state, and
stand ready to push it to successful
point.
Mr.. Hirsch. when seen at the
Knutsford last evening. did not care
to discuss the matter, inasmuch as he
had not consulted with his attorneys
here. He stated, however, that the
company was ready to enter into a
contract with the state on the same
basis as before, and carry it through
without delay.
The company has in contemplation

These Indians, as a tribe, are hon

Mr.. VinCent'S Record.

The story is beng circulated by dem
OCrats of Wood county that Mr.. Vim
cents administration Of the office of
sheriff of Wood county was not as eX-
pensiye as that Of Mr.. Lindahl, repub-
lican sheriff, and that the first year of
Mr. Smiths term was more expensive
than either year Of Mr., Nincent's term.
These statements are false as an exam
ination of the records of orders issued
by the county clerk of Wood county for
sheriff's fees will show.
Mr.. Vincent was sheriff in 1898 and
1894 and the bills paid by Wood county
to him and his deputies amounted for
those two years to S., 243.01, or All aver
age per month of $343.0S. Mr. Lindahl
was sheriff in 1895 and 1896 and the
bills paid by Wood county to Mr.. LIN
dahl and his deputies amounted for
these two years to S., 42O.S0, or an aver
age per month of $226.70.
Mr.. Smith was sheriff in 1897 This
bills for 1898 have not been presentedl
and the bills paid by Wood county to
him and his deputies amounted for that
year to S2,945.12, or an average per
month of $245.42.
From this it will be seen that Mr.
Vincent cost the county S11G.3S per
month more than MIR. Lindahl, and
$97. per month more than Mr.. Smith
or in other words he cost the county
about 81 400 per year more than the
republican sheriff Each of these
sheriffs had one of the Lord and Emery
trials in his term so Mr.. Vincent cannot
claim that that caused the extra ex-
pense Do the voters of Wood county
want to put so expensive a man into
