Gentlemen: Your board of water
com mmlssloners beg leave to report that
they are informed by Mr. Ira L. Henry,
that the property in the Third ward of
this city, on which it was proposed to
erect box factory can not be purchased
on terms 1t was originally agreed on,
ana that it has been concluded to take
the property offered by Mr.. Chas E.
! Straw, situated in the Fifth ward of
] this city.
| Ihe board further inform your honor
able body that the distance to which six
inch water mains must be laid in order
to give fire protection to said factory is
about 200 feet further from the nearest
hydrant than it is to the first proposed
site III the Third ward and the estimated
cost OF laying the six inch mains to the
$llO0 and $I200
In view of the fact that the water
commissioners were authorized and di-
rected TO make the extension in the
Third ward only and the further fact
that The increased cost will be between
200 and 300 dollars, the commissioners
deem it necessary to receive a further
authority from the common council to
proceed with said work in the Fifth
| ward.
There is choice of two routes to the
| proposed site of the box factory:
First, commence at hydrant on West
Green and Warren streets, run two
blocks west on West Green street to
Union street, then one block north on
Union to Elm street; or
Commence at hydrant on West Green
and Warren streets, run one block north
on Warren street to Elm, then two
blocks west on Elm street: the distance
being practically the same on both
routes.
4 our commissioners recommend that
fire protection be furnished to the said
Ira L.. Henry box factory to be erected
IN the Fifth ward of this city and that
they be authorized by yonr honorable
| body to lay six inch water mains for
that purpose.
The following resolution was then
introduced and passed:
Resolved, BY the common council of
the city of Watertown, Wisconsin, that
The water mains of this city be extended
/ from the intersection Of West Green
and Warren streets in the Fifth ward
of SAID city, and run one block north on
Warren street, to Elm street, then two
blocks on Elm streeG in a westerly
direction to point on said street,
as will provide fire protection facilities

tory, to be located on said street and
along the Chicago & North western rail-
road company's tracks, and be it further
Res lvAd, That the board of water

Important to rIothers.

The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature of Chas. H.
Fletcher. This has been necessitated
by reason of pirates counterfeiting
the Castoria trademark. This count
erfeiting is Il crime not only against
the prOprietOrs of Castoria, but ao ainst
the growing generation. All persons
should be careful to see that Castoria
hears the signature of Chas H.
Fletcher if they would guard the
health of their children. Parents.
and mothers in particular, ought to
carefully examine the Castoria ad-
vertisements which have been appear
ing in this paper, and to remember
that the wrapper of every bottle of
genuine Castoria bears the facsimile
signature Of Chas. H. Fletcher, under
whose supervision it has been manu-
factured continuously for over thirty
years. Philadelphia Bulletin.

Investigating Water Supply

q. Fred Schwarz, a government ex-
pert from the United States Forestry
department at Washington, was here
last week and in company with Judge
Bachhuber made an investigating
tour Of the HORIZON marsh. The
government officials object was to
ascertain from personal investigations
the causes of the diminution of the
water supply of Rock river He took
ph otographs of several points in the
big marsh and vicinity which will be
used to illustrate his report to the
department.
The government is paying much
attention TO the future supply of water
in the Rock river valley The official
has travelled all over Rock river this
spring in pursuit of Information on
the subject His Investigation will take
in many of the tracts of swamp land
adjacent to the rivers that are now
drained or about to be drained. His
report will recommend, among other
things, the planting Of trees on the
hills near the river, especially those
that are rocky and dry, legislation
and an appropriation to prevent the
further draining of swamp land He
thinks that the best way to increase
the water supply in the river north OF
here will be to have the river
dammed.-Juneau Independent

The First Seen Here.

Profs. r. W. Wood and Joseph Jast-
row, of the state university, made a
trip by automobile from Madison tC
Milwaukee last Friday, returning
on Saturday. Their route both ways
took them through this city, and thus
Watertown was given its first oppor
tunity of seeing the horseiess car
riage-the most modern means of loco
motion. The professors conveyance
was Stanley locomobile, steam being
used for the motive power aud gaso-
line for fuel. The outward journey OF
eighty-five miles was made in five
hours and thirty minutes, actual run
nirg time, which is considered very
good The only accident marring the
trip occurred near this city, when the
packing Of the steam chest blew out,
which, however, was soon supplied by
stripping off the rubber from the car
riage step and fitting it into position.
So far as known this run is the first
long distance tri p made by automobile
in the state.

Attempted Safe Cracking

Last Tuesday night two bungling
attempts at cracking and rifing safes
were made in the city by parties who
evidently were not well skilled in such
undertakings. The first place visited
was Theodore Huber's lumber office
at Clyman and Fourth streets, and
failing of success there the would be
thieves proceeded to the Touring mill
Office of r. 2. Koenig & Co. on First
street, where their efforts were also
futile. In each instance the combin-
alton lock was hammered and the
door pried with chisel, but to no
avail. The tools used were secured
from the shops of the Z. Kunert
Manufacturing company. Consider
able damage was done to the safes.
but otherwise no loss is reported from
either place.

l1abhegger and occupied by Theodore
Lotz as a saloon and dwelling, the
structure suddenly collapsed, re-
sultlng in its total demolition. The
middle portion caved in and the sides
oulged out, the fact being at once evil
dent that it was beyond repair. One
would have supposed from a glimpse
OF the wreck that a cyclone or earth
quake had visited the locality.
The work of raising the building
preparatory to remodeling it was be-
ing done under the direction of Con-
tractor G.. Huenefeld The customary
methods had been employed and the
structure kept as level as possible
W hen it collapsed it was standing
on jacks about two feet from the
ground. Mr.. Hucnefeld ascribes the
cavern to faulty construction in the
second story.
Luckily when the accident hap
pened the workmen were all outside,
