ed as only the Supreme artist know s
how. Here and there the tips of the
trees look as if they had been touched
with blue-black inks, so deep is their
coloring. In the middle distance the
forests seem transfigured, while in the
more sequestered hooks there is fan :
tastic display of color, as if some care
less painter had upset his paint box,
allowing the contents to drip and drip
and drip, changing the cliffs and
mountains to rainbow tints.
Contrasting finely with this wonder
full display of color are the buildings of
pink and white sandstone, of which
Hot Springs is largely built, making
this idyllic resort IL veritable city of
white not unlike that other White City
in jackson Park, Chicago, of which the
world has read and heard and seen so
much. Built upon generous plans,

and usefulness largely pre-

niarkable, no less Tran eight pubic
houses being open the year round, be-
sides innumerable boarding houses and
private residences where tourists are
taken. Next to the hotels naturally
come the bath houses; nearly every
hotel is provided with these essential
places at a springs resort, all of them
of incalculable benefit to those who
take the baths and enjoy the swimming
pools.
Notwithstanding the glorious beauty
of the scenery, the great attraction of
Hot Springs is its marvellous mineral
springs of thermal water, with medi-
cinal qualities that cannot fail to make
them as famous to the white man as
they we're from time immemorial to
his red brother. The principal springs
having temperature varying from SO
to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, are six in
number, issuing from fissures in the
solid rock. The strongest and most
valuable incidentally are the Minnek-
ahta, the Mammoth and the Lakota
which supply the water for nearly all
tho bath houses and plunge baths in
the city, while mile and a half dis
tant is the Catholicon Spring, with it's
cosy, comfortable hotel. The flood of
water from these springs is great. but

many smaller streams from the hills

While these springs are among the

So convincing was this test considered
that the military committee of congress
designated Hot Springs as the best To-
cation in the United States for the pro-
posed National Sanitarium for Veter-
ans.
One of the great advantages of these
springs is that their temperature is the
same as that of the human body, and
the addition of cold water, or exposure
to the atmosphere to render the water
suitable for bathing is unnecessary.
For this reason the waters retain all
their life giving, disease uring virtues
At no other place on earth does such a
condition of things prevail.
The chemical combination is SO per-
feet that, Notwithstanding it's great
specific gravity the water is as clear as
crystal, through which the smallest OBJ
ject can be seen at great depth. The
ingredients found by Prof. Mariner, an
eminent Chicago chemist. are the very
best for mineral waters, and their eff
cacy is shown in the thousands of tes-
timonials received by the different ply
sicians and bath. house proprietors.

tion of it's readers to the following re-
views of our commercial and profess
ional interests. These gentlemen are

HARRY D. CLARK.


In mentioning the prominent resi-
dents of Hot Springs aleading position
must be accorded to Mr.. Harry d.
Clark. This gentleman is identified
with our most important interests, and
he is a progressive and public spirited
factor in the development and upbuild-
ing of our town. Hot Springs owes
much to him, and he enjoys the good
will and esteem of the entire commun-
ity. Mr.. Clark is an expert on land
values in this part of the country
and his judgment and advice on such
matters is often sought. He was for
merly the leading spirit in the Dakota
Hot Springs Co., and having been Sc
lected as manager for that magnificent
property, The Evans, has made such
record that he was continued in that
important position when it passed un-
der the control of the Iowa Land Com
pany. His receivership of the Catholi-

THE LOS ANGELES WATER FIGHT

IT LTHOUGH less than ninety days remain for / \ the Councmen of Los Angeles to arrange for 1 ! the purchase of the improvements of the water company and thus regain for the city the valuable water rights leased for song in the days when Los Angeles was hamlet next to nothing has been done to accomplish that purpose Up to this time the water company has not even made statement of the value of its improvements, and until that is done everything else must wait.
 By way of making at least pretense at recovering the property, the Council its last meeting passed resolution demanding statement from the com pany. Such resolution has businesslike sound, but then equally strong and full sounding resolutions have been passed before The water company has ig- nored those of the past and is fair assumption 1t will ignore this also. Something more than a formal resolution of demand will be necessary to bring that cunning corporation to time
 The game now being played by the water company in Los Angeles is the boldes that has ever yet been put up by water company anywhere in California to enrich itself the expense of the people The feat recently accomplished by which water rates were raised in Oakland is of mild-mannered modesty in comparison with the grab in the City of Angels. The Oakland water companies own the property out of which they are to make exorbtant rates but the Los Angeles corporation aims to rob the people not only by high rates, but of the water property itself
 It is high time for the people of Los Angeles to bestir themselves in defense of their property and rights The Councilnen may be we'll meaning, but they are certainly acting with the force required to baff1e the greedy and interruptions who are planning to hold the leased water rights if they were private property Ninety days is short time in which to make estimates of the companys i'm provements and arrange for purchasing them.
 The company has been fighting for delay all along and will continue such tactics to the end, for to it delay means victory. The people must move in or der to win The Council having now passed once more the usual resolution demanding statement from the company, the people should to it that this time the resolution has vigor behind it and that the demand is enforced.

HERE is in Sacramento a well understood habit
 of referring to the Record-U Union as the "Old

Upon its editorial page showers the evidence of its dotage It has occasionally been led far from the path of intellectual integrity as to assail The Call
 The latest grievance of the Old Woman (we use the not with unqualified approvaD is that this paper has shown the water drank in Sacramento to be unfit for such purpose. For having done so the reward is lack of appreciation amounting to actual abuse It has been necessary to demonstrate that the water furnished the capital city unfit for use that 1t contains the germs of fever, that the pollution comes from specific For having performed a simple duty The Call is subjected to various epthets. Yet every allegation it made in connection with the matter is true every warning based upon a knowledge of the facts.

AFTER THE WAR IS OVER.

was apparent in the beginning that the real bur ] den of responsibility assumed by the United States would appear after account with Spain is settled
 We have to do things during the that impose peculiar responsibility. The Spanish fleet in the Phil ippnes had to be sought out and destroyed to make our Pacific Coast safe But when we did it we de- stroyed Spans power to protect the civilized people of the Philippines from massacre by the insurgent descendants of the Malay head-hunters. Talk about
 republic in those islands is like talk about Sioux or Apache republic in Dakota or Arizona Not only are those eight millions of mongrels ignorant of self government but they know nothing of any govern ment and respect none except strong enough to restrain by force their disposition to murder and rapine They are Malays crossed half dozen aboriginal tribes which were lower than any of our red Indians and this interesting result has been mixed with Chinese Portuguese and Spanish blood until there are millions of mongrels who at once the despair of the ethnologist and the statesman. Sev- era members of Congress speak of planting the stars and stripes permanently those people and extend ing to them our institutions, and doubt strong party will appear in advocacy of such an outcome
 The fitness of that people to receive birthright will have been tested, meantime. Their alertness in regarding the overthrow of Spanish authority as in tended to give them chance to sack hospitals steal stores ana enter upon career Of loot and murder should satisfy any to their fitness to receive Anglo-Saxon institutions.
 It is highly probable that when we land troops at Manila these head-hunting savages will in them simply the representatives of orderly government and will attack them they have the Spanish forces In our ardor apt treat all revolutionists as the analogues of foreathers, who English gentlemen, trained in the science of government and wise in the ways of legal order.
 Turning from the Philippines to Cuba, we have more of the mongrel class to deal with. Maceo the first insurgent chief half-negro, and his suc- cessor Gomez, is bred the way. It is already apparent that Gomez has great expectations A few days ago he stated the simple principle which he conducts his campaign by saying Tt is war of ex- termination" and now he is reported to have notified the President that troops should not be landed in Cuba but that we should furnish him with arms and amnuntion-of course to continue bis of exter- rnination It will be necessary to teach Gomez and Aguinaldo, the Philippine rebel general, that not engaged in the business of furnishing savages the means of carrying war of extermination. We have set out to do unpleasant du.y in the of Spain and when that is done may have upon our hands the task of exterminatng the Cuba extermnat- ors and quelling the Philippine head-hunters.
