DAWSON TO HAVE ANOTHER ARTEsIAN WELL
City Council Has Decided Bore One the Intersection of MAR
Failed Reach Agreement With the County

a we'll located on the county's prop
erty and the county three fourth, or
the county pay one-fourth and the city
three-fourths of the cost of well locat-
&c at the intersection of Lee and Main
stress.
This proposition was notaccepted by
the representative of the county
board, and the council, therefore, de-
termined 10 bore well on the latter
site, independent of the county. 1t is
not known as yet what further action
the commissioners will take.
The old we'll on Lee street has not
furnished water in several months,
and the one at the intersection of Main
street and Third avenue, with the ex-
ception of private wells in the city,
has been supplying the town with ar
tesian water,
Another we'll is badly needed, and
the action of the council in deci6rag to
bore one is universally approved.

POPULAR COUPLE WED.
Mr.. w. w. Collier and Miss AL
ice SIade Quietly Married.

Mr.. Will w. Collier and Miss Alice
Slade mere married Sunday evening
shortly after seven o'clock at the
Methodist parsonage by Rev. o. F.
Cook. 1t was a very quiet affair, and
no one but Mrs. Cook witnessed the
ceremony.
Immediately afterwards the bride
and groom attended the services at the
Methodist church, but none of their
many friends present guessed that
the two had plighted their trotb, as
the groom occupied the front
pew and waited for his bride, who in
the choir, was rendering a beautiful
Easter song, to rejoin him. Dame
Rumor had it limited that the mar
riage of the two popular young people
would occur Immediately after the SER
vices, and no one supposed that they
had already been made man and wife.
The bride is the daughter OF Mrs.
W. J. Slade of this city, and is ad-
mired for her beauty and charming
manners and is quite social favorite.
Mr.. Collier is a young man OF sterling
qualities, occupying the important
position of general manager OF the
Georgia Alabama Telephone Company.
The many friends of the young peo'
pie wish for them life OF much hap
piness.

ern side Of the Great Salt Lake
basin, where Ogden river breaks
through the mountains on the east.
The city Is surrounded on the north,
east, and partly on the south by
lofty noun tains. An abundance OF
good water is supplied by gravita-
ton from the Ogden river. Part OF
the water from Ogden river is car
ried down the canyon some miles
