ENLARGED WATER WORKS.
City Plan, Being Rebuilt New Boil
ers-New Filters.

Water Superintendent Allen jane
son has large force of workmen
putting up Lew buildings. setting
new boiler and machinery and erect
ing filtering tanks. When completed
the water works plant will be
equipped to supply the city with all
the water needed for all purposes.
But until the conditions are changed,
and the waters in the river are less
befouled, there will be great diff
Guilty in getting as pure and whole
some water for domestic purposes as
the city authorities desire. The
council deserves great credit for UNI
tiring efforts in this line, and it is a
satisfaction to know that there will
be no abatement of effort until sup
ply of pure water is obtained.
After the present improvements
are completed at the plant, one other
large job will be undertaken. 1t is
that of constructing immense settling
basins near the mouth of the canon.
The water from these basins will be
cleared of nearly all precipitable
matter and flow from the basins
nearly clear. 1t will then be piped
direct to the filters and pass through
the we'll. 1t is confidently believed
that when this last Improvement shall
have been made, that the water furn-
ished our citizens will be clear and
soft.
The RECORD is glad to note the
effort being made by the city author
tiles toward securing pure, whole
some, soft water, and hope their eff
forts will be crowned with success.

A REPUBLICAN YEAR.

In many ways the last has been the
most remarkable election in many
years. 1t has been what is known as
a three-cornered fight.
Failing to fuse, the Democrats and
Populists went in to pile up just as
big a vote as possible, each deter
mined to show tt cir full strength.
The Republicans made fair fight,
but did not make the exertion of
former years.
The result is surprise to every
body. Every man save one on the
Republican ticket is elected. Tho
pluralities are the greatest ever OBJ
tanned. They will run from 400 up
to over 1000.
More than this, it is believed in
every case save two the Republican
candidates have large majority over
both other candidates. Take the
treasurer, for example-Fredrickson
will have plurality of nearly LOO,
and he will have about TOO more than
the combined vote of the Democratic
and Populist candidate.
This is great record for the Re-
publicans. 1t means that if the Popu-
lists and Democrats had effected a
fusion the Republicans still would
probably have won by a handsome
majority.
1t is certainly a great Republican
year in Fremont county.

CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

The RECORD takes some pleasure
in the fact that it is by far the prin
cipal paper in this county that sup
ported the Republican ticket, and il
feels that it has had more than q
small share in bringing ,about the
happy result.
But what it rejoices in most is the
character of the campaign it has con-
Quoted. The RECORD strives at all
times to be clean and honest. 1t is
fair, and even liberal, to its opponents.
1t believes nothing is gained by hold
ing up the opposing political candi-
dates as criminals and scarecrows to
frighten the voters away. 1t has
never tried to build up its cause by
tearing down or blackening the char
acter of others.
Some friends have wondered why
we have not Jumped onto" and
ripped up the back" the Democrats
and Populists q little more severely
than we have. To be frank, we must
confess that our course has been
through policy as much as principle.
Our experience has been that the
more you lampoon Democrat and
show up his failings the more votes
he gets. So in this campaign we
have been content to dwell upon the
good traits and good deeds of our
own people, and calmly leave the op-
posing candidates to rest in that
quiet oblivion which was made eter-
nal by Tuesdays selection.

a,.n,.. x...... In Mlna..o,..

In the Interstate Park, near Taylor's
Falls, Minnesota. has been discovered
a singular group of giants kettles"
or potholss. covering an area OF two
or three acres and ranging In diameter
from less than foot to rs feet. and
In depth from one foot to "a feet. They
have been bored In exceedingly hard
rock, and In many cases they are like
wells in shape, the ratio Of width to
depth varying from one to Ave up to
one to seven. Mr.. Warren Upham
ascribes their origin to torrents fall
ing through glacial moulins' at the
time when the northern territory of
the United States was buried under
Ice. As with similar pot-holes else
where. rounded boulders are OCCASION
ally found at the bottom OF the cavi-
ties.

TAcLAMUR.
Active Developments In an Old but
New Camp.

The Fremont Mines company, COM
posed exclusively of Boston capital
lists, working the Isabel mine at Tao
lamur, % miles northwest of this city,
has installed the largest plant of min
ing machinery in the county. The
machinery, which includes a Leyner
compressor and drills, rassed through
this city on the End on its way to the
mine.
The Isabel mine is an old patented
claim, formerly owned by W. H.
Murray, of Parkdale, and was pur-
chased about year ago by C. G.
Tackaberry and E. NJ. Lamont. of this
city, who in turn sold it to the Fre-
mont Mines Co., it's present owners,
last July.
The value and extent of the Isabel
mine is well known by many mining
men, and numerous tests, in ton lots,
have been made upon the ore. The
vein assays from eight to fourteen
feet in width, and has general aver
age value of $3.50 in gold, silver,
lead and copper, while there are
streaks ranging exceedingly high in
silver.
1t is an ideal concentrating ore,
which has been tested upon all the
numerous tables upon the market, the
Bartlett giving the most satisfactory
results, and preparations are being
made to erect concentrating plant
with seven Bartlett tables.
With the amount of ore in sight
close estimate by experienced mining
men and experts has demonstrated
that the Fremont Mines Co. will net
$500 daily with such plant of ma
chinery in operation.
TIE property has been examined
and favorably passed upon by several
eminent experts. Last July Mr.. Geo.
Arlett, one of the leading practical
experts in the West. made thorough
examination of the property, and pro-
nounced it lone in hundred wor-
thy of extensive development, and his
recommendation is being followed by
the Fremont Mines Co
At Tsclamur several properties are
being developed by Cripple Greek
parties. Miss Evelyn McConos is
working large force of men, with
machinery, upon the Eccosias, which
runs fattering values in gold. while
there are several other properties in
active operation.
All these properties are in Fre-
mont county, tributary to Canon
City.

TO GO TO A HIGHER COURT
Election Contest Ends
Before Judge Ninson-
halcr.

Tho Parish-Shields election contest came
to an end in the county court yes
terday morning when Judge Vinsonhaler,
after the contestant announced that he
rested his case, decided in favor of
the incumbent. The recount OF the
ballots was completed Saturday
afternoon, resulting in an increase of
Shields majority Of "A, as returned by the
election officials TO 1i5.
Parish was expected to proceed with the
introduction of evidence to substantiate his
charges of fraud when the trial OF the case
was resumed yesterday, but he an
nounced that he had no further testimony
to put in at this time. The court then
stated that there was no evidence to show
that Shields had not been legally elected to
the Office Of county attorney and ordered
judgment in favor of the contestee.
Parish served notice in open court that
he would appeal the case to the district
court, and afterwards stated to the news
paper reporters that his evidence to show
the illegality of Shields election would be
produced in the higher court.

by Senator VanBoskirk, The measure was
unanimously condemned by the members of
the club and discussion of methods of
preserving the game OF the state were dis
cussed, One member favored a stringent
law prohibiting the shipment and sale of
game in the state, while another thought
that If the farmers were permitted to sell
a limited amount of game they would pro-
tect the young birds and the nests, while
n they found they could make no money
from them, the nests would be destroyed

FIGURES ARE MADE PUBLIC
Official Announcement Of 0maha's Assessed
Valuation is Given Out,
INCREASE is SHOWN OYER PREVIOUS ytAF
Change of Basis in Making ASSESS
mcnts Explains the Increase on
Personal Propcrty-Commcr-
ciaI Club Interested.

The total assessed valuation OF Omaha
property for the year 1901 is S36,4ll ,716.
| This is an increase of $7l950S over the
amount upon which taxes were levied in
1900.
The Commissioner William Fleming has
been working On the lists since the adjourn
ment Of the Board of Equalization and the
official figures were given out yesterday
morning for the first time.
Real estate is assessed at 500, ,2iS 1876 and
personal property Is listed for taxation at
ST. 1851 In 1900 the amount upon which
real estate owners paid taxes was $lsl $50
less than for 1901 and the assessed valua-
tion Of personal property fell $3.50 ,329 below
the mark set for the present year.
Change In the Basis.
The increase in personal assessments Is
explained by the change in the basis OF
assessment. Last year one-third of the
actual valuation OF such property was
turned in while this year the percentage
was raised up to 40 that realty and personal
property might share the burdens of taxa
tion more equally.
Assessments originally made by the tax
commissioner would have raised the taxable
valuation of property to $3S,OO0,000. Per-
sonal property was turned in at more than
50 600 600 by MIR. Fleming, but the Board
OF Review and the Board of Equalization

FOR DECOyING YOUNG GIRLS
One of the Alleged Victims Returns
from south Dakota 10 File
Formal Charges

BERTHE Moore arrived yesterday morning
from Deadwood. $. D., to appear against
the men who, she says, decoyed her from the
state, deceiving her as to the employment
she was to have in Deadwood In her con-
versation she has implicated J. A. Hawk
and Joseph NJ. Beankey as the men who
were the principals in sending her away and
says that the final arrangements were made
in an employment office in the presence
Of Henry Mannwiler, though he took no
part in them.
Mrs c. G.. Fisher, president OF the
Womans Christian Temperance union. met
the young woman at the train and took her
to her own home on Dodge street.
According to the story which the young
woman told, she had misglvings when
she left Omaha that all was not
as it should be, the first thing to arouse
her suspicious being the fact that her trunk
check was withheld from her and sent direct
to the parties who were to receive her in
Deadwood. A letter was also given the
train porter, who was to hand 1t to the
Deadwood parties Miss Moore communi-
Gated her suspicious to the conductor. who
Is said to have secured and opened the
letter and found that she had been de.
ceived. Word was sent to the Deadwood
police and the scheme was foiled.
miss hoore salu tnat the reason she
has refused to return here until given
transportation back to Deadwood from
this city was that she had found that she
could really do better in the Dakota city.
She has good position in a restaurant, re-
ceiving higher wages than she did here.
Hawk, Mannwiler and Beankey are in jail
awaiting hearing in the case. Mannwiler
had been released, as no complaint had
been filed. but when he appeared in court
this morning he was formally arrested on
the charge of fraudulently decoyng girls
from the state. He and Beankey were
arraigned yesterday. Hawks hearing is
set Tor this afternoon The police
have information of four more girls who
are said TO have had the same experience
and 1t is expected that they will be
