"a CANE FOR WALKER.
Some OF the enthusiastic republican
friends of Uncle Jimmie" Walker, the
Mark Hanna OF Timber Greek township,
decided that the good work of Mr..
Walker as township commit teeman
should not go unrewarded and that some
substantial method Of showing their ap-
probation for his slccesEful efforts in

the republican column should be adopt
ed. The corporation Of other republic

Walker was Invited tosattend q meeting

The event is to be the ratification Of

the fact that Iowa has rolled up mag

into considerable expense for the pur-
pose Of providing the inhabitants with
water for domestic and other purposes.
This is a laudable undertaking and the
necessity for an adequate supply is so
great that the cost will be secondary
consideration. sim, due economy ought
to be observed, for the taxpayers are
already burdened almost TO the limit,
and there win be a great cutlery II the
taxes are run up to high figure.
AS the Deseret News has already
pointed out, street sprlnklIng Is one OF
the absolute needs Of the city. In the
summer season It consumes a vast vol
une Of water that Is needed in other d.
rectlons particularly during 80 dry a
season as Is now threatened. II that
which ls needed for the streets can be
obtained without encroaching upon
what is necessary for domestic and
lawn purposes. II win be a great relief.
We have suggested TO the city coun-
al. and We repeat the opinion, that
water for street sprlnklng may be
utilized withou, tapping either the
waters OF City Creek or Of Parleys can

reetlon until II emptics into city Creek
at the head OF Main street, might be
tapped at several points along the route
we have mentioned
There Is sufficient fall from the
point OF divergence az Fifth South

supply at the point a little westward.
There IL fan enough also from the
course o. the canal on Third. Second

either or all OF these points down the
streets mentioned FOR a short distance
would give a fiow Of water from which
the sprlnklng carts could be fille@ and
the streets be sprinkled without ex-
haustlng the supply for the more essen
tlal purposes.
This could be done at comparatively
little cost il would be measure Of
economy. II would ensure a plentiful
supply for street uses and prove a great
boon IN that direction. All the signs
point to serious water scarcity In
