chester wright, VINO is gfeatiy
interested in the proposition to
form the land under the Petersen
canal into an irrigation district
and develop the underhow in the
Platte river, stated to the editor
of The Grit Advocate last Satur-
day that he believed the PROPOSE
tion would meet with the favora-
ble consideration of 4 majority of
the resident owners. Petit
ions are being prepared and will
be circulated among those inter-
ested in a short time. The pres
ent shortage of water has brought
the farmers to a realization of the
fact that some plan must be a.
dopted whereby the conditions
may he changed. Many people
believe thut the undcraow propo-
sition offers the best solution of
the difficulty.
Chappell people are quito pa
triotic. Ono day is not sufficient
for them to give vent to their pa
triotism, hence they will use two

cipally to gun contests and II
game of ball between the Chap
pell and Ogalalla clubs. The Sec
ond days program will consist of
a blue rock target shoot in which
the Chappell aud Bigspring clubs
will participate, public speaking,
horse and bicycle races, broncho
busting, and a game of ball be
tween the Chappell and some
other club, possibly the Jules
burg club. At night there will
be fireworks and a dance.

They Had Met Before.

The newcomer, a portly man with
little tufts before his ears, entered
the waiting room, seated himself and
began to read, says the New York
Press. Opposite to him were two
young chappies, with high collars, eye
glasses, immense canes and other I'M
mistakable insignia of high life. One
of the chappies, wishing to impress
the other, leaned toward his friend
and said:
That persons face is very familiar
But where / have met him 1 cannot
just now recall"
Yes, one often meets people one
has met before, but cannot recall who
they are"
Il am going to speak"
"Oh, why bother? Some common per-
son very likely you do not care to
know further
Possible: but must satisfy my
curiosity, you know
The chappie rose, approached the
portly man and said:
Pardon me the interruption, but
your face is so familiar to me that l
must speak. Where and under what
circumstances did you and 1 meet be-
fore?"
The portly man began at the boots
and followed the slender form upward.
When his eyes rested upon the weak
face he said in a solemn voice:
Il very distinctly recall the occa-
sion, sir. I sentenced you to ten days
or ten dol
The rest of his remark was lost, for
the chappie turned quickly, hooked his
arm in his companions and said as
they left the station:
Il thought so. 1 had met him be-
fore. One of the directors of our club.
Fine gentleman. Sorry 1 cannot dine
with him this evening""

With traces of tears in his eyes, says
the Salt Lake Tribune, a clerk in
the employ of the local postoffice en-
tered Postmaster Thomas office to-
day, and in a manner that showed
he was embarrassed at being so WISH
bly, moved, handed a letter to the
head of the department and asked:
What shall I do with this, sir?"
The postmaster took the envelope
and gazed long and steadily at the
address. Turning to the clerk, as he
pulled at his gray mustache, he said:
Il Will take care of it,"
1t was like any ordinary letter in
every respect save one. 1t was prop
erly sealed and stamped and had
been received from the morning col
lection in the regular manner.
ITO My Mamma in Heaven" the adj
dress read.
The writing was evidently that of a
little child, and the painfully traced
letters seemed to denote that the writer
was some little girl who had lost her
mother and had sought this means of
conveying a message of love to her.
1t portrayed a beautiful trusting
faith in heaven, and told more plainly
than volumes could of the heartaches
and yearnings of some little one, SC
lonesome "since mamma died"
The letter, of course, could not be de-
livered to any one and could not be
opened at this office, to find the name
of the writer.
1t will be forwarded to the dead let
ter office, where it will be opened, and
if the name of the letter writer is in
side, it will be returned to her.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-09-13

The interview with Mayor Myers,
which the Morning News published
yesterday, on the subject of the out
rageous insurance burden which the
Southeastern Tariff Association insists
that this city shall continue to carry.
ought to awaken our merchants and
property owners to the fact that they
are in the power of a combination that
intends to get all it can out of them.
Mayor Myers takes the position, posi-
ton that seems to be we'll
fortified by the facts, that so long as
they submit so long viii they be I'M
posed upon.
The association pretends that it can
not take off the Is cents. which 1T has
been asked to take off until there has
been a rerating of the city, and that
a man cannot be sent here to rerate
the city at this season of the year. for
fear that his health will be impaired.
AS Mayor Myers pointed out, it did not
require a rerating to put on the 10
cents, why should a rerating be neces-
sary to take it off? 1t is a fair infer
ence that the statement about rerat-
ing was an excuse to do nothing.
The statement that a man couldn't
be sent here to rerate the city at this
season of the year for fear that his
health would be impaired is a great
injustice to the city. There are few
cities in the country of the size of this
that has had as many visitors this
summer as Savannah. and it is a safe
statement that there are very few, Dig
or little, that can show a better health
record. 1t is simple folly to say that
a man from any section of the country
wouldn't enjoy just as good health here
at this season of the year. or at any
other season, as elsewhere, in view OF
the fact that all summer long there
have been mechanics working on
great building day in and day out
without any unusual sickness, mechan-
les from other sections of the country
as well as mechanics residing here.
Mayor Myers points out the way to
get relief and the sooner it is adopted
the sooner the Southeastern Tariff AS
ISOLATION will realize that its grip Is
not so firm that it cannot be broken.
The fact has been pointed out time
and time again that the conditions
which were the excuse for imposing the
Is cents additional insurance burden no
longer exists but that knowledge does
not seem to have any weight with it.
1t simply offers other excuses for delay
ing action and goes ON collecting the Is
cents.
Those who have given the subject
consideration seem to have no doubt
that home company would be pay
ing institution, especially if it were the
agent of a number of strong foreign
companies. The matter is one dcserv-
ing immediate and careful considera-
ton.
