NOW FOR WATERWORKS.

The disastrous conflagration Of
Monday morning,in which alarge
area of the most important bust
ness center of the town of Jen-
nings was completely destroyed,
brings vlvidly before the mind of
the thoughtful citizen the unmis-
taxable necessity OF d system Of
efficient waterworks. No more
suspicious time could be chosen
to present the Importance Of a
movement to bring this matter
before the people of Jenniugs.a and
no stone should lie left unturned
that will aid in bringing it t. a
successful issue.
Every body comedies that had
there been a good system of wa
terworks, and had water been ac-
cesSib!e and AN organization of
firemen with appliances for fight
ing fire, the fire that swept away
SO much of the town and sent up
in smoke thousands of dollars
worth of valua BILE property, might
have been prevented entirely, or
at least confined to a much small
er area.
1t is stated that when the in
cipient Glaze was first discovered
in the Dudley res taurant, a few
buckets OF water would have
been sufficient to quench it; but
lhe water was not to be had.
Could a condition be found more
deplorabie? There were plenty
of willing hands promptly on the
ground, but they were helpless
for the want of water and a sys-
tematized force with proper APP
pliances to use it judiciously.
''No use to lock the stable after
horse is stolen, some may think;
but there are more horses in the
stable-there are more buildings
to burn, just as valuable as those
that have just succumbed to the
devouring clement, and the
burned district will soon be GOV
cred again with fine and costly
business blocks.
Every effort should be made
and every precausi0n taken to
protect them froln theravages of
the fire fend. There is no better
way to do THIS than TO establish a
substantial and reliable system
waterworks, an eqnipioent Of fire
engines and other articles with
which to successfully com bat the
flames under acotnpetent organ
ization of fremen. This is no
idle talk it is dire necessity.
This ''penny wise and pound
foolish business does not pay.
Better to llV2S Z: liberal sum for
the protection OF property than
to have it consumed 10 the short
space of q few hours when the
destroyer starts GA its work.
Wake up to this vital theme
and let not another day go by
until start has been made to-
ward the accomplishments of this
great object. keep it going until
the end is achieved. Stir the
heavens and the earth until you
are needed. We need system
of waterworks and we know it
everybody knows it. flew did
not know 1t before, we do now.
1t will be money well spent.
For the dollars spent, thousands
will be saved.

THE DISPOSAL
OF MIGRANTS
COUNTY JAIL IS FULL AND JUS
TICES CANNOT CANDLE ALL
THE CASES.

County Attorney Breen this morning
telephoned the police headquarters that
he would like to have that court take
up some of the cases against the va
grants If it could De satisfactorily ar
ranged.
The answer that he got was to the
effect that the police judge would be
glad to handle the cases providing he
was paid for the work.
The county Jail at the present time
is crowded. and there are many va
grancy cases to be cared for. The JUS
tees of the peace have all they can at
tend to, and as they are only allowed
compensation at the rate of $500 per
year for all their services in criminal
cases, it smacks of an injustice to over
load them with criminal cases. The po-
lice judge was in the nacSit of taking
care of vagrancy cases, but the commits
sioners refused to allow rim compensa-
ton for his services. although he is by
law an ex-officio justice of the peace.
Mr.. Breen told the judge this morn
ing that he would lay the matter be-
fore the county commissioners, and he
believed that some satisfactory ar
rangement could be made. In the police
court a great deal of time is saved in
attending to the vagrant population, as
it is but little trouble to bring them up
the stairs and arraign them, ana when
they enter pleas of not guilty 1T i:
easier to get representative jury from
the center of the city than it is in the
southern part Of the town.
Judge Sullivan, when h, attended to
the cases, was a terror to the Migrants,
for he generally gave them TIA maxi
mum sentence, or else gave them "a
hours TO get out of town.
1t is believed that mu.i: good VIII re-
suit if the police court is allowed to
handle the cases.

In response to a request from w. D.
Clark, chairman of the board of county
commissioners, James Donovan, at

an opinion in the matter of the legality
OF the vote cast at the last election on
the proposition to issue bonds of 100000

addition to the county Jail of Silver Bow

as Il majority of the votes cast on the

number of votes cast at the election was
1,249, but only 1919 of these were cast

the number against it $50. !,

no in the suit Of the New York Life In
surance company against Kleinschmidt
Brothers. consolidated, to foreclose
mortgage for $50, 900 on account of nom
payment of interest. He says it is shown
that the delay on the part of Klein
schmidt e. Brother, consolidated, to pay
their debts is not due to inability or lack
OF property sufficient to satisfy them,
but to the delay or Indifference on the
part of creditors to push claims: also
that defendants are amply able to pay
any excess Of judgment that may be OBJ
tanned out of other property not covered
by this mortgage. He says:
"Preponderance of evidence is decided
~ in favor of the sufficiency of this
mortgaged property to discharge the
debt involved. The spirit of the law
with reference to the appointment of re-
ceivers in foreclosure cases is to the eff
feet that courts should be cautious in ex-
ercising this power. and the court is of
the opinion under the showing made
here, the court would not be justified in
appointing a receiver at this time and
imposing upon the mortgaged p>n,erty
the additional burden and expense neces-
sa1ily involved in a receivership." This
is the first decision rendered by Judge
Clements since his accession to the
bench.
