For the interest fund, 1.5 of \

we expect to make greater improve
ment in the system as soon rs we
can get the materials, by placing
our present intake farther up the
stream and taking the water from
beneath the channel.
The writer has wife and four
children and we think more of
them, a great deal, than any posi-
BILE interests in the water company,
SO when we moved into our present
home in the spring of 1894, we were
brought around to the back porch
and the well a driven one, twenty
give feet deep, way down under the
hard pan, was pointed out to us.
Some water was pumped up; it was
clear as crystal, had a good taste
and all iron flavor. We were not
accustomed to the city water for it
tasted fiat, so we began to invest.
gate. A salt of lithia was scattered
around the yard and the irrigating
water turned on. 1t took about
thirty-six hours for this salt to get
into our we'll water so we concluded
that the water from that we'll was
surface water and promptly pulled
out the pump and plugged the hole.
We have never had a fever of any
kind and we have always used the
city water, without boiling, using
only a sand filter.
The writer has been up and down
Wilson creek several times looking
for evidence as to the pollution of
our supply, and, frankly, we have
not yet found any that wo i'd stick
in court. Now, we are still looking
for this evidence, and as the editor
of the Localizer evidently has this
up his sleeve, we will make him or
any one else this offer: We will give
$500 in gold coin for each and
every conviction of any party pol
luting our supply. There is a state
law on this subject and here is a
chance to do us some real good.
Our stumbling block has been that
the water has an uninterrupted
flow of over two miles, open to the
air and sunlight while running
over it's rocky bed from the brick
mill to our intake.
Now as to the fever cases. The
writer has interviewed all the ply
s;cians in town and finds as follows:
DR.. Bean and DR.. Mahan have
seven cases of malaria fever, namely:
Mrs. DIR. Perry, Mrs. c. E. Wheeler,
Mrs. James &. Boyle, Mrs. Ernest
Baderscher, Mrs. Martin Cameron
and daughter, Roy Randall and

The Water Question Reviewed


ELLENsBURG, WASH, Sept. 26, '99.
EDITOR DAWN: In the interest
OF fair play,will you kindly publish
this letter? Respectfully,
J. c. HUBBELL.
ELLENsBURa, WASH, Sept. rs, '99.
F. D. Schnebly, Editor Localizer.
DEAR SIR: In your issue of Sep.
TENDER 23rd, you made vicious
attack both upon the water supply
of Ellensburg and the good citizens
who use hydrant water. Indirectly
you gave the city the worst slap
it has had for years, iniuring every
man who lives and does business
in it.
Your differences are so wide of the
truth that we ask space to reply to
them and we think you will be fair
enough to grant it, for you said that
you were taking this matter up in
the interest of the people. First, as
to the city. There are quite a few
people including the writer, who
think Ellensburg is about as good
and healthful town to live in as
say in the state, and they also
have good faith as to its future.
This fact is being practically EN-
phasized every day by the money
spent in improvements. We there
fore resent any public slurs. What
you say on the street we do not care
for. because the people always take
your talk with big grair of salt;
but what you say in public way
in your sheet is another matter, for
it gives people on the outside, ig-
norant OF the real facts, very wrong
impression of US. The two normal
school towns are just watching for
your "breaks" and even North
Yakima, a fine town, Of which you
have good word every week, has
begun to notice your prejudice. l
am reader of your paper, and |
have noticed that YOU have had
more good things to say about that
city in the last two months than
you have of us during the whole
year. We have been looking for
the cause, and at last have discov-
cred it. What terrible night
mare this water Bogy" must have
given you! Really, you have a
very bad case, but, after all, your
mutterings may be OF some real
benefit to the city.
The writer has been looking after
the interests of the Water Company
sence the beginning of 1898. We
have been trying our best with the
means at hand, to give the good
people of ensburg the best wa
ter obtainable in the state. We
have changed the supply and made
many other improvements which
the editor of the Localizer has never
vet noticed. We will also add that

CAPTAIN DYER.
Was Given a Big Reception at Bal
timore Yesterday

BALTIMORE, Sept. 12.-Captain N.
Mayo Dyer, commander of the cruiesr
Baltimore in the memorable conf ct of
May /, 1898, at Manila, was honC~ by
this city to-day. Residences q 81
ness houses were gay with bur s, Inc
streets were jammed with people wear

and all the ships in the harbor, regard
less Of nationality, We're decked in his
honor
Soon after breakfast Capt ~ Dyer
was taken in charge by a sp. ell COM
mittee and entertained in various ways
until 80 p. M, when he was escorted
to the City Hall. to be welcomed by
Reception Committee consisting of
about 200 of Baltimore's most promi-
nent people, headed by Mayor Malster.
Meanwhile a procession, composed of
the Fourth and Fifth Regiments of the
Maryland National Guard, the Naval
Reserve Corps, the Fifth Regiment
Veteran Corps, two companies of Unit
ed States Artillery regulars from Fort
McHenry, the Maryland division of the
Grand Army of the Republic and many
uniformed civic and semi military or
ganizations paraded through the prin-
City Hall, where it was reviewed by
Captain Dyer. Upon an immense plat
form 5000 school children were so ar
ranged as to form an immense imita-
tion of the American flag.
When the parade had passed, Mayor
Malster, on behalf of the City Council
of Baltimore and of the citizens gen.
orally, presented to Captain Dyer set
of resolutions commencing his conduct
at Manila and his record as an officer,
after which he handed him a magnifi-
cent sword, also the gift of the City
Council and of the people of Baltimore.
Captain Dyer accepted both in a speech
full of gratitude and expressions of the
kindliest feeling toward his hosts and
entertainers.
The sword is said to be one of the
finest weapons of its kind in this coun-
try. The scabbard is finished in gold,
and the blade is of Damascus steel On
| the scabbard are representations of the
coats of arms of the United States and
Maryland the Washington monument
and the cruiser Baltimore, and on the
sword hilt are symbolic representations
of the arms of the naval service. The
scabbard has a service and a fatigue
belt
After the presentation ceremonies
the guest of the day, accompanied by a
large number of the members of the
Reception Committee repaired to River
Review Park, where a public recep-
tion was held. A banquet in the even
ing at the Hotel Regnert rounded out
the days celebration.
