0'Brian & Rhodes Bid.

While there were no bids opened at
the council meeting Monday night it is
quite evident that the bid OF O'Brian d
Rhodes would have been much lower
than even the most saDguine had ex
pected. This company among other
things included in their contract, agreed
to take the water bonds at par, buy all
water rights OF both the Doughspoon
and AIkali streams. or to refund theui
an amount OF money equal to the EN-
ergency. for so doing. Together with
this he offers to pay al preliminary ex
penses incurred by the town in connec.
ton with the new water system. Mr..
Rhodes. who was present himself. also
made the town a proposition to furnish
all tools, maintain their camps. etc, for
10 per cent Of the cost OF the PROPOSE
ton and let the town buy their own
material from whom and where they
please. This proposition was made in
view OF the fact that Irresponsible par

THE WATER QUESTION
A Disposition on the Part Of Some
to Lag Back.

Some time since the CITY council en-
plo:ed an engineer to investigate
~hether or not there was sufficient
water in the Doughspoon for the town.
The engineer was onetot the best in
the state and reported that there was
moro than Ieufficier. x.sS.r Tor the Town
and that with very little trouble much
more could De produced. His statement
was borne out by J. A. Curtis. our own
surveyor, who has stated that water
sufficient for town several times the
size OF Delta could be obtained from
that source.
But there are few who are as yet
skeptical and there are others who in
stead OF taking the word OF men who
are perfectly converssnt with m alters OF
this kind. hesitate because some fellow
that couldn't measure beans 10 half
bushel measure thinks, perhaps, that
the supply might not be sufncient-well
the Gunnisou river might not be
sufficient for all times" We do know.
however, that il the mining industry
continues in Gunnison county as now
seems probable that in few years its
waters will be little better than the I'm.
compahgre.
This is not all. II we ever secure
mountain water it must come FROM this
source--there is no other-you can't get
around that fact, and whether the
present administration builds the new
plant or not some future administration
will.
Anyone else seems to be perfectly
willing to take all these risks that
Deltaites are making such a "bugaboo''
over.
G. II. Whitelaw was willing to put his
money into ii and would have been glad
to have done so. Mr.. Whitelaw is a
business man and one with great deal
OF backboue--in fac, we are beginning
to believe that he has about the only
thing OF that kind that can be exhibited
in Delta--he is will ing to go ahead and
take all these long chances that individ.
uals,--not engi RS. -have discover
exist and yet the entire town gets weak
in the knees when it comes to doing
things.
As there is no other source--and there
is not why hesitate! We must have
the water and the sooner We get it the
less it will cost.
The present water system is a dead
expense on the town and does not pay
for it's operation oy several thousand
dollars annually.
There are some OF tho aldermen who
are inclined to postpone the matter and
decide on some detnite plans.
The water question is not \ political
one, but there is no doubt but that there
are some who would like to use it for
political purposes.
Itit is the opinion OF the council that
more time should be given in which &c
receive bids, all good aud well, but W,
do not even believe this is necessary. TO,
all reliable contractors have had an
opportunity to be familiar with all the

How Russian Peasants Live.

Most of the Russian peasants pass a
great deal of their lives in workshops,
where they work, eat and sleep, the
same room sheltering a number and
probably a pig in the bargain. There
are few beds. Instead, all around the
four walls of the room is fixed what
may be literally described as a bench.
1t is made of wood, and at this works
the peasant by day, and on it he sleeps
by night, each man at his own spot.
The conditions of the Russian work
shop or factory and the Russian prison
and military barracks, so far as in
terror arrangements are concerned, are
akin. Chairs there will also be and a
table, rudely fashioned, as a rule, by
the men MISUNDERSTANDING Re-
view.

AN INTERNATIONAL TOWN.
P~ecu1iarities of NOEnles, on the Mex.

Pecu1iarities of NOgaIes, on the Mex
fcan Border Line.
1t would be incorrect to date a letter
from either Nogales, AriZ., or Nogales,
Mex, alone, for the town belongs so
thoroughly and completely to both
that neither half is a town at all. 1t
is the most completely and c%uriously
international place that can be conceiv-
ed of. There is no separation of the
two parts visible as you look down on
the town from the hills, and the life
and the ordinary traffic of the place
flow back and forth with no one ap-
parently to say they may. However,
it must not be supposed that there is
free trade across the ~thoroughfare,
which on one side is called Information
al street and on the other the Gale In
trrnativnaT.
In the middle of the street, where
the Gale Elias, or main business
street, crosses the international ave-
nue., stands d stone obelisk about
twelve feet high, and in the vicinity
of this are always n or two guards
in civilian dress, who pay no attention
to empty handed passersby, but will
stop any carriage or any person who
offers to cross with a burden that
might contain dutiable material. De-
c~asionally on the Mexican side Il
sees a Mexican soldier in uniform,
but the Quartet neal by is too small to
hold more than q small detachment,
and neither soldiers nor uniformed Gus
toms guards are ever in evidence along
the border.
The Americans live apart from one
another in individual houses of all
grades, most of which are very neat
and some of which are quite fine and
must have been costly. Their streets
run up the sides of the mountain glen
in which the town is situated. In
among their houses are the adobe cab

hewers of wood and drawers of wa

In reopening the old wound they
located a small coil of pure silver
wire about one and half inch in
length imbedded about two inches
and half beneath the skin. probably
left in the old wound at the time of
the first operation through negligence.
Those who are professionally asso-

and that the luck which has followed
him at cards since he began making
money for Dutch Jake" is due to the
