The demands on the city water system
for water have become so excessive that
the present supply afiorned by the well
is inadequate. The pressing need for
more water has been felt with each sue
cessive dry season, when water is greatly
needed for spripkling and irrigating pur-

Of water for consumers and at the same
time have enough for fire protection,
has long been problem hard to solve
by the water superintendent and the
city authorities
Wednesday the water committee Of the
council took sction in the matter with
the result that Water Superintendent
Sholson now has force Of men en-
gagged in extending the wing to the city

Is completed the wing or feeder to the

now being 80 foot wing. It will be

There was great excitement at Rear

practical joke played by three members
of the famous Swingsifters ball team.
A party of young ladies were leaving
on the afternoon freight for vacation
at Medical Lake, Chapler, the Swing
sitter manager, and Cox and Chester,
two players, took box which contained
achicken from in front Of the butcher
shop and put ii on . fiat car, remarking
that the girls could have il for supper.
The butcher appeared at the depot and
demanded that the chicken be returned.
The irate butcher stood guard over
the hen while he dispatched bystander
after the marshal The bystander proved
to be German cook who couldn t speak
the English Language. in the latest ap.
proved fashion. Here is where the ex-
element commenced. The German
started up the street on the dead run,

came exhausted he shouted to E. Sprin.
kle, the iveryman, TO send the marshal
to the train Immediately. Sprinkle
thought something serious was wrong
and he gave the cue to Marshal Dale,
who started ons sprint for the depot,
followed by large crowd OF excited
citizens.
Upon arriving at tie station the mar
shal took insthe situation and returned
home. Meanwhile a justice Of the peace
was summoned and the men were ar.
rested. The chicken was taken from
the car, and just as the train started
Chapler showed the hen, box and all,
through the coach window.
The ball players, having had their fun
offered to pay the bill. The butcher
wanted IS cents for the egg producer.
A board Of arbitration consisting Of
three citizens was appointed, and they
appraised the hen at 95 cents, which was
charged UP against the swingsiiter

n Sixty-two cents as against 55 cents,
(which was the opening bid last season,
was paid for the first wheat OF this sea
son which was delivered at w. s.. Byers'
roller mills at Pendletou. This is the
first wheat Of the season to reach that
city. 1t came from the farm Of Fred
Taute, two and a half miles of Pendle-
ton. The wheat.i is blue stem and is as
good if not better than the quality pro,
duced last year, ~
Sixty-two cents is ! little better than
the regular market price. The mill
there raises the prices slightly in order
to have prompt delivery and get a
good supply, as the wheat OF last season
is nearly all gone. This mill is paying
80 for club. Last years price for club
was 81 cents.
( 1t will be some little time before any
great quantity OF the wheat reaches the
local market. As a general rule num-
Der of the farmers assist in cutting each
others crops and the grain is not deliv-
cred until after the. threshing is COM
pleted.
The farm from which the first wheat
came is located at the edge of the res

Greater lOdUe Chitto.

Our correspondent at Bogue
Chitto says:
One serious cause of annoyance
to our citizens has been the incon-
venient and dangerous approach
to the /. G. station and freight
house. For a wonder no accident
of fatal character has occurred;
but such fatality is simply abid-
ing its time to cast a sad gloom
over the community. Passengers
hurry to and fro to escape ap-
preaching trains, while wagons,
loading with freight are in CON
stant jeopardy. Often when half
loaded the driver has to hurriedIy
pull up his team and cross the
tracks as the trains pass on. On
account of the tracks for the
Keystone R. r. it is impossible to
effect an approach from the rear.
Just north of the depot the cut
is forty feet deep and one hun
dred feet wide. The east side is
most desirable for building, and
we're it not for the dangerous ap-
proach, we doubt would rapidly
build up and become the aristo-
cratic 'nob hiIl'' of our city.
The Gill residence ensconced in a
grove of umbrella trees, is the
sole resident monarch east of the
cut. 1t is now proposed by Judge
j. n. Yawn to petition the |. C..
to bridge the chasm. If they
would fling an iron structure over
the track, at the cost of about
SIS, 900, big question would be
answered and the company save
money and impending damage
suits. In order to start popular
interest in the subject there is talk
of a rousing town meeting soon,
when the subject will be
thoroughly discussed. Judge
Yawn is a man of a bility and push
and when he lays his hand to the
plow, has no intention of looking
back. That the improvement is
needed, no one doubts. It will
have to come with our electric
light and ice plants, bank, oil mill
and system of sewerage. With
the new Keystone truck farm and
several new enterprises Bogue
Chitto will become dizzy with
its own hum and hustle. She pos
+sesses the natural advantages and

tage of her own self.

ing system, the convicts scatter
ed all over the delta in little
squads-on different plantations,
where their proper inspection
and supervision by responsible
state officials has been absolutely
impossible, and where they were
brutally treated by irresponsible
underlings. The people will
never tolerate the idea of tramp
ing them over the state in little
road working squads, or for any
other purpose.
The state is under moral OBJ
legation, which is recognized by
all right thinking persons, to take
proper care of these prisoners,
and this cannot be done except
by keeping them in permanent
establishment, suitably arranged
for them, and where they can be
properly worked and directly
supervised by the state officials.
The present system has prov
ed such thorough and satisfac-
tory solution of the state convict
problem in all it's different phases
that the people of this state may
be congratulated upon the per-
manent settlement of the state
prison on basis that is credita-
BILE to the state asa judicious and
admirable prison reform.
If there is any state institution
that may be regarded as finally
and permanently established, it
the state penitentiary, and all the
talk in a political canvass can
never lead to the abandonment
OF the present excellent and thor
oughly practical settlement of
the state convict problem.
The argument that the state
is putting the convict labor in
competition with the honest free
labor of the state is not entitled
to serious attention. There is no
competition in cotton raising and
if there was, what would it mat
ter, as the convicts must be en-
ployed at some kind of labor, and
connot be kept in idleness. for
two reasons, it is ruinuous to
keep prisoners in a state of idle
ness, and it would be enormously
expensive to the state.
The employment of the convict
has found it's natural solution;
and it would be an act of folly for
the state to abandon the present
system that works so admirably
and that is being constantly i'm
proved and perfected.-Clario
Ledger.

Will Stick To Her Trousers.

Miss Willie Ray, the young
woman who has been wearing
pants and hiding her sex in the
county of Prentiss for the past
seven or eight years, declines
very positively to don female at
tire, even after the disclosures of
a month ago. She was accused
by one Mr.. James Gatlin of init
macy with his wife. Gatlin did
not use his CUR, but he pounded
Willie good fashion, and she had
him arrested. On the trial it de-
veloped that because of her sex
she could not have been guilty of
intimacy with Gatlin's wife, and
the laugh was on him very much
to the disgust of the Court and
his attorneys. He was bound
over to the Circuit Court in the
sum of $3.50, in default of which
he went to jail, his slandered
wife returned home, and Willie
stuck to her pants and went on
her way rejoicing. The local
paper states that for woman to
wear pants is a species of immor-
ality that should not celebrated,
but the plucky little woman
pursues the even tenor of her
way and is looking after her farm
and attending to her own bust
ness in way that is commend
able.
