No VOwelS in It.

Many places have curious names. but
apparently there is only one place which
has a name without any vowels- That
place IS the little hamlet OF Ws. near
Paris. Ws being an unpronounceabls
name, the inhabitants OF the hamlet
have transformed It into .d'Us,~ but
this change has not been sanctioned
legally. and on all the Official records
the name Ws still appears. The hamlet
has III inha bitants. and its sole attrac-
tions are the Chateau d'Osny, which
has been for many years in the posses
sion OF Edmond About's family, and
the best specimens OF the Renaissance
style Of architecture.
SO far as is known there IL only one
person in Europe at present who has a
name without any yOWels. and that is

city was enjoined from paying even
its current expenses until it's previ-
GUS obligations had been met. An
effort has recently been made to
reach a settlement by compromise
and in the preliminary steps the
water company seems to have again
secured an advantage, but whether 1t
will be more substantial than previ-
Gus victories remains to be seen.
The water company has sought to
sell it's plant and water rights to the
city and in the effort at compromise
a petition was circulated and freely
signed asking that a committee of
citizens be appointed to appraise the
water company's plant The COM
mttee was appointed from the Bust
ness Mems association and after
weeks of deliberatiOn appraised the
companys plant and water rights at
$3.50 900, figure that is regarded as
excessive by those who ought to
know.
The Helena Independent regards
the appraisement as remarkably high
but seems to be entirely in the dark
as to the reasons for the high figures.
If the Independent will examine the
court records in the recent trial be-
tween the water company and the
city all will be explained for the tes-
timony at the trial disclosed the fact
that the water company had eXpend-
ed between two and three thousand
dollars in fees to the members of the
citizens committee and the engineer
appointed to appraise the plant, and
if the report of the committee cuts
any figure the money thus spent by
the company was we'll invested. The

priety as to accept money from one

which he is acting as arbiter can

this reason the report of the commit
tee is valueless, and as a basis of
compromise it is worthless.

HElENA'S TROUBLES.

From time without mind the city
of Helena has been fighting the corpo-
ration which owns the Helena water
system. Law suits. injunctions, judg-
mentS and executions have followed
one another in bewildering success
ion until even the respective lawyers
could not give an accurate account
of the litigation that has been had
between the parties.
The bone of contention has been
the price which the city ought to pay
the water company for water, and
while the lawsuits have been pend
ing, the charges against the city have
been piling up and with a bankrupt
treasury the city has been trying to
find some means to avoid payment OF
the debt. To this end the city coun,
ell purchased certain alleged water
rights over III Jefferson county at a
cost of about 100000, which served
the double purpose of employing the
city treasury and providing a club
with which to force the water com
pany to terms. for rather than have
rival water system installed the
company would no doubt make i'm
portant concessions.
