SHALL WOODSTOCK HAVE WATER ?

The question. can Woodstock get
water, nv natural Tow. mas be, r
settled. MIR. ID. G. Adelsbergcr,
hydraulic engineer, of Baltimore, III
response to letter from Mayor
Rodeffcr, came here las: Thursd Y,
and at once examined several springs,
near the North mountain. While
his report has not yet been submitted
to the council, we take the liberty Of
mentioning some of the facts. lie
found several excellent springs with
ample flow for the purpose, but did
not visit all the springs whose &C
vantages are under consideration
An examination of the sprmg upon
the farm of the late Calvin Wlsman
proves that the supply is ample, that
the water Is OF excellent quality, that
the spring is so situated that 1t could
easily be protected from wild water
and filth of every kind, and that It's
elevation is 800 feet above the Valley
pike at the North street crossing. Its
distance from town Is four and enc
half miles. While this spring seems
to possess all the advantages, i'll
quality, quantity, elevation and dis
lance which would be required, there
ere other springs to which caretnl
consideration should be given. In
come respects they may be more de
} sirable than the one examined.
Other considerations will also de
mand the attention of the council,
but it is highly important that first OF
all, the best and cheapest place
should be selected. The 18th OF
August is considered about the
proper time to examine springs. II
tue flow is sufficient at that time, it
will probably be sufficient all the
time. The springs on the mountain,
East of town should be carefully OK.
amined. If there is sufficient guam
tity of water, they are more desirable,
on account of distance aud quality of
water. There are also other springs
along the North mountain which
should be carefully examined, as We
should have the best spring that 1t Is
possible to get.
The.question whether tins Is the
proper time to put in the water
works, the cost of the improvement,
the manner of securing the necessary
money, &c. deserve the calm aIc
patient consideration Of the Mayor
and his council. We, however, feel
gratifed that such favorable progress
has already been made and that al.
can be now satisfied that it is possible
to supply Woodstock with pure
mountain water, III sufficient quaint
", by the gravity system.
1t may be proper to state that
the above article was prepared with
out consulting the seltappointed
censor of the citizens of Woodst ock,
who is the correspondent of The
Edinburg Sentinel. We have not
the space at present to spare to no
tice him and the scurrilOuS articles
that have proceeded fiom him.

The curse of most territory
towns is the conglomeration of old
wooden shacks that surround the
business parts of the town and
make hazardous every substantial
and handsome enterprise of the
city. The action of the Muskogee
council in establishing fire limits
and rigidly enforcing the same
meets the hearty approval of all
the best citizens. The men who
invest vast sums of money in
modern, up-fo-dste brick or stone
structures are entitled TO such safe
guards and protection as the city
can afford them and it is mani
festly unfair to permit "tinder-
boxes" erected in close proximity
to such structures. It's blessing
that there are now adequate laws
for the safe and permanent pro-
lection of the business portion of
the city and we shall look to the
city fathers for the careful enforce
ment OF such laws.-Muskogee

THE CITY ELECTION.

comes the city election. Alread,
may be heard the faint rumblings o
the coming campaign. A timi'
effort to "organize" along part,
lines is being made, and candidate
are grooming themselves for th,
conflict. Knots of men here anC
there are discussing town politics
and one runs up against "feelers'
everywhere.
The Daily Chieftain, in thi;
matter as in all others pertaining
to the welfare of Vinita has decid-
ed and well defined views. 1t is
anti-dsmocratic and anti-republi-
can when it comes to city politics
The issues which divide the two
great political parties in national
politics do not apply in any sense
to this municipality. The people
of Vinita are not effected SO far as
municipal government is concern
ed, as to whether free silver or the
gold standard should prevail in
the United States, and such line
OF demarkation cannot be properly
drawn in city politics. The prop
osition to organize the voters of
Vinita on national lines does not
come from those who are disinter-
estedly seeking good government
for the place, but from the spoils-
men who want Office, and to have
turned over to them it's political
management. Men who are 80
intolerant as to refuse their sup
port to those of opposite political
belief would be very unsafe people
to entrust with the governm ent of
the town, for the same partisan dis
elimination would by them be car
ried into its schools and other
public enterprises. This town has
before it now an object lesson
known and read by all men, as to
what national political domination
can do when lett unbridled and
when given full political sway.
Partisan politics is responsible for
the presence Of the horde of in
competent nincompoops who are
swaggerlng over this Indian coun-
try at the present time, and who
were not elected to the places they |
hold, but appointed and commits
stoned for political reasons. Away
with such rump politics.
The unaminity with which the
citizens of Vinita are taking
hold OF the public school PROPOSE
ton now being agitated, is source
OF satisfaction and graduation to
all who have at heart the moral
and intellectual advancement of
The place. When the election is
called to vote upon the subject
here will be few if any dissent
ng votes. The question now is,
low can We inaugurate the very
'est school system possible with
