The public school baseball team
was defeated at Colfax last Sunday
by score of to 8 by the Colfax
public school team.
DR.. Wilson, who has been
watching the hens lay on his Cali
fornia chicken ranch for a couple of
weeks past, returned home today.
--Messrs. Palmer and kellogg,
late of Colfax, have purchased the
Star livery stables, taking possess
ion this week. Mr.. Palmer will
remove here with his family at
once, and assume the management
of the barn.
Messrs. Mckenzie, Shaw and
Gelwick spent couple of days the
early part of the week feeding angle
worms to Rock Greek suckers. In
cidentally, the trio reports the loss
of the biggest trout ever taken from
Rock Greek. They tell it this way.
Once whom Uncle Dan pnlled his
line out of the water to note the
condition of the bait, he found
thereon the champion trout of the
creek. OF course, to all who are
acquainted with the lack of fighting
qualities of the Rock Creek trout,
it wouldn't do TO say that the fish
in question escaped in being landed,
SO the story is that Uncle Dan care
fully deposited the steen- FOUNDER
on the grassy bank to wait the ad-
miring inspection of Gelwick and
Shaw When Uncle Dan directed
the attention of his comrades to the
spot where he had deposited the
fish his wrath was great 10 see en-

of the things it heard Immediately

told to explain a diet of bacon.

Extend Water System.

That much needed Improvement,
the extension Of the water works
system, now bids fair to become an
accomplished fact within the next
few weeks, the city council at its
meeting Thursday evening, having
taken action looking to the imme-
diate construction OF the new reser-
voir.
Two weeks ago the committee on
fire and water was instructed to in
vestigate the matter, and Thursday
night the following report was pre-
sented to the sesuncil:
We your committee to whom was
referred the question ofconstructing
a new reservoir at height sufficient
to furnish water to all residences on
the higher levels, beg leave to re-
port in favor of such extension, and
after careful, investigation estimate
the cost of such extension as fol-
lows:
200, 600 gal. reservoir, covered. 81 800
1900 feet of Sin. iron pipe, laid..... 1880
Special fittings and gates...--......... I2o
Land for site of reservoir .............. $50
Engineering and experimenting. $50
$3.50
The proposed site is on lot 3, blk,
q, Mckenzie s93rd addition, at an
elevation of 2a2 feet above Main
street, or 81 feet higher than the
present reservoir, and would furnish
water to every resident in the city.
The proposed extension would in
our estimation increase the revenues
sufficiently to justify the expense,
and we therefore recommend that
the council proceed to take such
steps as are necessary to make this
needed Improvement.
1t being the sense of the council
that the extension should be con-
structed at thu possible mo-
ment the committee was instructed
to negotiate for the reservoir site,
and the ordinance providing for the
improvement will be prepared and
ready for passage at the next meet
ing If it is not necessary to hold
a special election, the work of build
ing the new reservoir can then pro-
ceed at once.
1t is proposed to pay for the ex-
tension with the money now in the
treasury i'll the water fund, some
$500, the rest to be borrowed, re-
payment to be made from a special
fund to be created by a certain per-
centage Of the revenue of the sys-
tenn. The water system now pays
a handsome margin over cost of op-
Grating, and it is estimated that the
indebtedness can be paid off in two
years. Under ruling of the SUI
preme court, it is not thought that
it will be necessary to call an cleo
ton, as no indebtedness is incurred
against the city. If no election is
necessary, it will make a consider
able saving i'll time and expense.
The site upon which the new res
ervoir will probably be constructed,
is situated 1900. feet back of the
present reservoir, and it will be
much more economical to build
there, and will give an additional
height of 81 feet, supplying all the
residence districts with adequate

GOOD ROADS NECESSARY.
Rural Delivery Routes Demand Them
and Must Have Them

1t is absolutely essential to the con-
tinuance OLA rural delivery route that
ii be at all times in condition for car
riers Good roads means rapid de-
livery and that is the essential of the
system. 1t is evident that the post
Office department meant business
when it declared at the start
that no free delivery route 5
would be maintained over poor roads
Not only must the roads be good in
the beginning, but they must be kept
in good order or the route will be
abolished a neighboring postoflice
recently received the following letter
which shows plainly the attitude Of
the postoilice department: "Reports
recently received shows that the
roads travelled by rural carriers from
your Office are in bad condition and
are likely to be impossible in bad
weather. You will please notify the
patrons of routes | and that the
present lack of attention to these
roads, if continued, be likely to endan-
ger the pcrmanency of the rural free
delivery service there. A rural car
rier cannot possibly make regu ar
time or perform efficient service over
poor roads, particularly during the
winter and spring months The sum
mer is the time for mending these
highways which are really serving as
post roads, and which should always
be i'm passable condition for the trans
port of the mails. IL is the hope of
the department that the patrons who
are receiving the benefit of the SER
vice appreciate it, and they will
promptly cooperate in an effort to re-
pair all deficient portions before win
ter sets in, so that the pcrmancnce of
rural free delivery service mag be i'm
