CITY TAKES STEPS TO BUILD
 ITS OWN WATER WORKS SYSTEM

nu T the regular meeting of the
 mayor and board of aldermen last night the following reso- lution was presented by Alderman Jones, seconded by Alderman Moore, and unanimously adopted by the coun- cil: Be it Resolved, By the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, That the judiciary committee be instructed to prepare a bill to present to the next legislature, authorizing the city of Birmingham to issue bonds sufficient to build and erect water works plant sufficient for the needs of the city of Birming- ham,"
 This petition was presented and passed after a discussion of the delay by the Water Works company in installing the filtration system, and the inability of the committee on filtration plants to get a satisfactory statement from the Water Works company as to the time work would commence and approximately be constructed by them.
 Alderman Moore stated that 1t was the general impression throughout the city that the Water Works company did not intend to do anything; that 1t was their intention to ignore the city coun- cil and the people of Birmingham, and that drastic measures should be taken by the council in this matter.
 Those Present.
 The following were present at the meet ing last night: Mayor Drennen, Alder men Ward. Linnehan, Greener. Kerr, Copeland D. R., Copeland J. R., Moore, Gum, Altman, Heidt, Gray, Stockmar and Jones.
 Alderman Kerr of the committee or finance, recommended the payment oi the monthly account and the same was ordered paid. The contract for the cree. tlon of a stone wall on the north side oi Oak Hill cemetery was awarded to A F. Berdin, his bid being the lowest viz $S40. The petition of the tax collector for a safe was allowed and $50 was ap. propriated for its purchase.

The club season in Canon City il
nearly over. One or two of the clubs
have already finished the season i
work and have dishanded until next
fall, when they will meet agan.
The past year has been prosper
ous one among the clubs of this city,
and a great amount of good has been
derived from them. Some of the
climbs have literary studies, others
study the customs and manner of the
people of other countries, and others
have music and various things fer their
objects. They all tend to an uplifting
and afford social opportunities for
many women, who would otherwise

ton is the same as il was few years
ago, only the management of the
present monopoly company is
more considerate and more congenaal
than that of former years.
In all this there is lesson to- be
learned. 1t is this: No power is so
strong as the peoples will. AID with
them sometimes an impression is as
good as fact. If the people IL Canon
became convinced that they We're being
unfairly treated by the new company,
with all its capital and power, it
could not hold ont for local business
against a smaller independent lighting
company. 1t is the lnoWhdge OF
these facts that will no doubt keep the
present company from becoming too
grasping and dictatorail in its business
methods.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

One of the best indications of Canon S
prosperity, is the great number OF
Fakirs usually spot the prosperous
place.
A writer in woman's paper says
the mans share of the expense in
modest wedding is about $500. The
writer must have been disappointed
in love and wants to prevent as many
weddings as possible, It's a great bluff
she's running,
That was An emphatic note the
president sent to Gen. Funston. 1t
was in effect merely shut your
month";
Quite lot of walks around town
of year to have them sanded.
o Q Q
1t does't pay to hate your COM
petitor. 1t doesn't pay TO hate or
dislike anybody 1t IS waste of
good energy. Time spent in nursing
hatred and dislikes by some would
make them money if employed in
their own business.
Did you ever notice how few loafers
Canon City has. Most small cities
have gangs of people who have
nothing to do but loaf about the street
corners and in stores that never adver-
tise Their main object in living is
to find fault with people who are
busy. Canon has few, but not
many in proportion to her size.
What has become of the old fashion
ed boy, who used to work his way
through school by milking five or six
cows and chopping half cord of wood
every morning before school?

Relation of Crons

Proper rotation Of crops must be OBJ
served In truck growing as in general
farming if the fertility of the soil be
maintained and maximum results be-
desired. Melons, cucumbers and
squash belong to one family and
should not succeed each other. Egg
plants, tomatoes and spuds form an
other and beans and peas another.
Always follow crop by another Of a
different family. Roots should not
follow roots. A tap-rooted plant can
follow fibrous-rootedy one. After
heavy manuring cabbages, onions,
spuds and egg plants should be put in
since these require excessive fertility
for best results. Follow these crops
with tomatoes, squashes, etc, and
these in turn with beans. peas, etc.

The old plant will be completely dis
mantled. What there is of value will
be used by the new company and the
will be sold for old junk.
The old poles and wires that have
stood unused on the streets during the
past year, will all be removed, and all
signs of former company entirely
And thus will have the
ending of one of the keenest corpCSIa.
tion battles that Canon has ever seen.
There are those who say it IS y tri-
nmph of money, and the nerciless
crushing of weak company by IA
strong corporation, but such is not
the whole story.
A few years ago, the local company
which existed here, was in \ most
prosperous condition. 1t had long
time franchise, good contracts, and
its future outlook was good. 1t had
an absolute monopoly OF the lighting
business in the city, aud with grow
ing conditions of the town it ought
to have been an excellent investment.
. o .
But from just causes or imaginary
wrongs, the company became very
unpopular with the people. The peo-
pie are apt TO watch monopoly with
jealous eye, and are sometimes liable
TO attribute more evil TO it than really
exists. In this case the people felt
they had a sore aggrievance, and at
the first opportunity We're glad to
grant a new company franchise.
This was done and then great many
people, believing that they would
like to give the old company another
bif. ordered out their lights and put in
the new. Then followed the appoint
ment of receiver. the annulling of
the city contracts and the sale of the
plant.
The changes ~ere not made on ac-
count of better lights or lower rates,
for there was really no practical diff
ference. 1t was all on account of the
prejudice felt for the old company.
SO the defunct company really brought
its sorrow upon its own head.
O o o
But the people had done more than
they had planned. 1t was not their
intention nor their desire TO drive the
old company out of business. 1t
was felt desirable to have competing
companies, and it would undoubtedly
have been better for the town had
the old company continued TO do bust
ness. But it was crushed to earth by
the peoples will, and today the situa-

Saved The Tomato Crop

Once a neighbor of mine had 5000
tomato plants set ont in field and
in order to save them from being
killed by frost he started fifty fires in
different parts of the patch which
covered nearly an acre and kept them
going all night. The object was not
10 much to produce heat as TO make u
smudge: hence such materials were
used as suited the purpose. In order
to get place for each fire four plants
were removed and put back in place
next day. There was not sufficient
wind to take the smoke away and the
experiment WAS successful. Early po-
tatoes alongside were frozen to the
ground but the tomato plants were
saved.
