Although the water question in this
city is a serious one, it has it's amusing
features. A few months ago, the Ana
conda Standard violently attacked the
quality of the water furnished our peo-
pie, and its vivid .portrayals undoubtedly
drove many a well meaning tetotaler to
beer. In the meantime, the Butte
Miner kept still. Now, the Miner
is %picturing the horrors of the water
supply, and the Standard keeps still. The
explanation of this change of front, on
the part of .our public spirited contem-
poraries, is the fact that some months
g w. A. Clark was guiding the desti-
MES of the water company; while at the
present time Marcus DAILY is the power
