oUR WATER P P

| do not know enough about the
present controversy concerning the
Gallinas canyon to express an opinion
| upon the merits Of the case, nor have
any reason for defending the water
company. For several years | have
| been convinced that Las Vegas ought
TO control its W water supply, and
| regretted that when public owner
ship was proposed it did not receive
enough support TO carry it into effect.
However, it does seem desirable at
the present time to say something
about the danger to Las Vegas which
! would result from permitting resi-.
dences To be built in the canyon above
the reservoir. When the electric car
line runs far up the canyon it is pos
sible that the land Immediately ada
cent to the river will be used for build
ing purposes, If this Is not forbidden.
| Not only may private residences be
put up, but very likely places of pub
lie resort which will be %thronged on
holidays. Considering the nature Of
the canyon, with its steep sides and
loose soil. II Is easy to see that the
river would certainly be polluted by
the refuse from the houses. | presume
that the people Of Las Vegas do not
want TO drink polluted water as a mat.
ter Of taste, but, aside from that,
there would exist a most serious dan
ger OF contamination with germs OF
disease, particularly typhoid. As an
illustration Of what may occur, we
may take the typhoid epidemic at Ply
mouth, Pennsylvania, in 1885. This
town was supposed, like Las Vegas, to
have an exceptionally pure water sup.
ply, derived from a mountain stream.
A S OF typhoid fever occurred in a
house on the banks Of the stream, and
the water was polluted by the excreta
Of the sufferer. As a result, out Of a
population Of 5000 persons in Ply
monea, i.10i contracted typhoid and
LII died. This Is only one out Of sew
cral known cases. an informed. for
example. that Fort Collins, Colo, SUI
fered in the sane some years
ago. I. ID. A. C0CKERELL.

SENSIBLE VIEWS.

Right here, this paper desires TO
remark that 1t Is high time that every
insane person in New Mexico be taken

counties OF New Mexico insane per
sons VI now confined in county iails.
This Is a very unfortunate, inhumane
and detrimental state OF affairs and
should be put a stop to at once. II
the authorities Of the insane asylum
say they can not take care Of the nm
ioftunates nov incarcerated in iails,
change them and pun officials there
who a and will. The way to do is
10 do, and certainly il way can be
found for the accommodation of these
unfortunate and stricken wards Of the
commonwealth, ii the officials in
charge will make the proper kind OF
an effort SO to do. A change is need

Electrical EisheA.

The electrical fishes do not belong to
any one class or group-Some are found
in fresh water, while others inhabit the
sea. They possess two distinct types
of electrical organs. One closely relates
in structure to muscle, as found in the
torpedo, gymnOtus and skate. while the
other presents more Of the characters
of the structure of a Secreting gland.
as Illustrated by the electrical organ
Of the thunderlish. Both types are
built upon vast number OF micro
scopical elements, each Of which Is
supplied with a nerve fiber. These
nerve tibers come from large nerves
that originate in the nerve centers'
brain or spinal cord, and in these cen
tiers are found special large nerve cells
with which the nerve fibers of the
electric organs are connected and from
which they spring. Yet the electricity
is generated in the electric organ itself.
in these animals there are specialized
organs for the production Of electricity
on an economical basis far surprising

A Lies Mistake.

Do not be led away by the idea
that "a LIES Mistake" to be seen
here Thanksgiving Is a play OF
melo Dramatic tendencies, for
such Is not the case / Is good,
clean, enjoyable, domestic drama,
made from a close dramatization of
Charles Garvice's book of the same
name, and while many OF Its scenes
are intensely Dramatic, 1t IS entire
ly tree from rant or sensation. All
the novel reading world know Chas
Garvice as one o. the most popu
lar writer's of fiction, and no one of
his many books has attained the
sale of "a Lies Mistake" for 1t
has been read wherever the En-
glish language Is spoken, and IS
still eagerly sought after on the
news stands. The several charac'
tiers are all clearly and strongly
drawn, and yet they are flesh and
blood people and not ideals, but
people as they exist today. The
ele ments of comedy are most con
spicious In Its make up, and we are
p omised perfect staging, and a
cast Of excellence to interpret 1t for
the delectation of those who are
moved to bestow upon 1t their pa
tronage, and 1t is safe prediction
to say, that all who have read the
book, will be more than rejoiced to
embrace this opportunity to see Mr.
Garvice's story exempliied on the
stage.

Holding Up a Bank.

Perhaps the first Confederate bank
raided by Union soldiers was one at
Charleston, Va. as Milroy was making
his way I'D the Shenandoah valley.
Drumming" was in its infancy then.
but a dozen of the fellows found them
selves ahead of the army and resolved
to strike for a big stake. They made
sudden attack on the town at day
light and then dashed in and made for
the bank. They broke in the door with
an AK, obliged the banker to unlock his
safe and something like $6OO,OOO was
carried away as they retreated.
A day later they bundled up $lOO.OUO.
strapped it on the back of an old lame
mule and hired a farmer to deliver the
wealth" to General Milroy in person
Accompanying the money was Il note.
which advised the general 10 uribe tie
ConfederateS to keep ahead of him and
do no fighting. AS his military maneu-
vers had been checkmated right along
and his reputation was under Il cloud
it was 4 hard shot at him. The story
got to Washington and was commented
on by President Lincoln, and it has
been asserted that the presidents lev
ity caused the general to tender his
resignation.
