CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Condemn Lands for Waterworks Pur-
poses-Alderme Kicking.

S0NANNNA 1aNl0o N0A w dANN NN0AN
poses-Alderme Kicking.
The city council held a special meet
ing Friday afternoon. at which Mayor
Dick stated the object of the meeting
was to take steps TO condemn lands
for waterworks purposes, and stated
that South McAlester had taken such
steps and had condemned about $500
acres of land which would cost them
a little over 81 per acre.
Alderman Best made a motion that
the council take such steps as neces-
sary to condemn such lands as the
city needed. The motion was put and
carried.
Mayor Dick then thought that one
mile wide by three miles long would
be sufficient, which would make 1920
acres, and the city engineers will go
out and survey the watershed at the
waterworks lake.
The council agreed to turn the street
commissioner over to the Mayor Tues
day to put in some street crossings in
the postal limits.
Alderman Golledge brought up the
sidewalks ordinance, and upon motion
the rules were suspended and after
making a few remarks the ordinance
was put on its passage and passed.
The ordinance Is now in full force and
effect. (Read ordinance in todays
paper)
The raising Of the waterworks dam
was brought up and 1t was the sense
OF the council that the city would not
need a higher dam for several years
Alderman Kendall stated that he un
derstood that some Of the work done
on or in the dam was not according tc
plans and specifications and that he
thought it was time to call halt.
Alderman Best said a good dea
about the laying of pipe through the
dam. and was of the opinion that Il
was not done according 70 contract
and that It was time to call a halt OF
the seeming Indifference of the super
visor.
The council then adjourned.

acter reading Friday night at the
United States courthouse under the

Ever since the days of that floral
abomination, the green carnation, we
have known that flowers are sus-
ceptible to influence of drugs and can
be made to change their colors by
proper, or, rather. improper, treat
ment. This branch of Horticulture has
been pursued further by inquiring peo-
pie, and 1t seems that plants are as
liable to the effects of poisons as are
human beings, writes the London Tat
Ter. If you give a flower too much
chloroform, it will not agree with it.
In the words of the operator, 1T
crops and dies" 1t is difficult to see
what is the advantage Of this particu-
lar study. Every one knows that flow
ers a be killed far too easily. If
some scientific person would find a
way of causing them to bloom all the
year round in our climate, that would
be something of a discovery-less
scientific, perhaps, but much more &C.
ceptable.

SUNDAY New. eoaper's Real Use.

One copy OF the Sunday Post will
furnish more warmth than an over
coat. Several sheets of paper, pinned
to the inside of a mans or boys vest
before putting it on, and another part
of several thicknesses worn under the
vest when going out into the cold,
will take the place of an overcoat to
the poor man who has none, and will
furnish as much warmth.
Many poor families have not had
bed clothing enough in winter to pro-
tect them from cold during extremely
cold nights. Such families can make
themselves perfectly comfortable by
spreading three or four newspapers
between the scant bed clothing they
have. They will be agreeably sur
prised to find that the papers are
equal to the Heaviest blanket in ex-
Guiding the cold. If people generally
understood the merits of this simple
remedy, and practiced it. there would
be less sickness and fewer cases Of

OPULENCE OF THE NILE.

In the days of Joseph the valley Of
the Nile was the granary of advancing
civilization. Again it is about to be
brought into the greatest prominence
agriculturally because of the Assouan
dam, the completion of which was eel
ebrated last Wednesday.
Every schoolboy knows the story Of
Joseph and his brethren and how there
was great famine in all the land at the
time Joseph was Pharaoh's premier,
save and except in the valley of the
Nile. In that early & of civilization
the Egyptians had learned how to
raise crops by irrigation, but their
methods were crude. They placed
their chief dependence upon the rise
and fall of the river. which they re-
garded with superstitious awe. The
flood of the river brought fertilizing
matter in the way of mud and the soil
was made so rich that little cultivation
was required to bring forth plenteous
crops. For more than six thousand
years this has been going on in Egypt.
Now modern engineering has brought
within the reach Of the waters of the
Nile a tract of desert land that will
again make the valley the granary Of
Europe. The Assouan dan forms a res
ervoir 144 milese long. The river will
at times be damned back to a height
of sixty-six feet above its present level
and the quantity of water impounded
will be one thousand million tons.
When the river is rising in August.
the sluices will be opened and the red
water. containing the famous ~fertiliz.
er. will be conducted Eel the land.
When the food is subsiding n the
water is clear, and when the discharge
of the Nile has fallen to about 1000
tons per second, the sluices will be
closed. and between December and
March the reservoir will fill up.
This gigantic enterprise has been
constructed at a cost of s24. OOO. 900.
the projectors taking as their pay only
a share of the additional annual in
come the government will receive. 1t
is an object lesson from another coun-
try of the benefits derived from gov
eminent aid in the reclamation of the

father that he chose common law in

Gene down to a jury at all and always
saw h two sides of everything. At
The Exeter sessions he held a brief in
Il case of which he felt the rights
strongly, but could not make the bench
agree with him. In the next case he
appeared. too. and simply remarked:
lit the last case | held a brief for the
plaintiffs in which l was absolutely in
the right and you decided against me.
Now l will appear for the defendants.
The facts are exactly similar and
am entirely in the wrong. So l must
ask you to decide for me- And the
