The Local Field
Should Receive Attention.

1t is stated that Soda Greek has prac
tically furnished the water supply for tht
city during the past winter. We believ.
that this place should have more atten
ton. Without finding fault with any
one, for an employee of the citv can do
nothing where the cash to do the work
is not furnished him, it does look as if a
little more attention should be given
sanitary conditions in the vicinity of the
source of the supply. The city should
either arrange it so that the water for use
would flow through pipes or else som,
of the stables and outhouses should bt
condemned as nuisances and moved
The health of the people is something
dearer than the cost would be. Besides
this any amount paid out by the city
goes to the toiler and is by him paid
back to the merchants and business men
A local improvement is not only good
thing on account of the improvement re-
allied but also good thing because ii
distributes the cash in the city to those
in need of it. This is a matter that
should receive the attention of the coun-
Gil. Mr.. Noxon has accomplished all he
could but there is no reason why there
should not be a general appropriation
for the purpose of purifying the water
supply We would suggest that the
members of the new council, or of the
old one if they desire, take a trip over

STORIES
The Texican Steer.

(EDIToR's S NoTE-The poem following
was brought to this office by Charley
Crosson, of Brookvale. He states that
the pretty little mountain resort is now
entertaining a strenuous bunch of femin-
ity who comes here from Texas and who
is becoming a popular favorite there. At
a recent session of the Brookva1e Debat-
ing society the young lady, who is not a
stranger to ranch life and the roundup
read the poem.)
o, the steer, the beautiful steer,
Kicking the flies from the tip of the ear
Flopping its tail in its frolicsome glee
Hopping about like a jubilant flea,
Believing,
Roaring,
laundering along,
Filling the air with its steerical song
Till the rumble from out of its lung laden
gifts,
Scares the wild animals all into fits.
To me there is nothing on earth so dear
AS the long-horned, Slim bodied Texican
steer.
How oft I've regretted that I'm not
steer,
With a long, shiny horn at the butt of
each ear.
With dear, fearless eye and tapering
tail,
That would snap like whip in a mad
dening gale.
How I'd beller
And roar and
Paw up the ground,
And lope o'er the earth with thunder
ing sound;
And snort like a terror and hump my
back
When I saw the wild cowboy pursuing
my track.
And I'd laugh at his oaths as he fell to
the rear
o, I'd be dandy if was a steer.
