The prophecy" of the Laborer
is that six months would see wine
rooms and gambling in full blast
in this city. We think that state
ments of this kind are entirely un-
called for and shows a disposition
todoubt the present city admins
tration, whicl. is composed of men
who have the good of the town at
heart and will take care of its inter-
est. Well. anyway, we are unable
to find out anything that would lead
lis to believe such things-but
perhaps. the Laborer man is in a
much better position to judge in
the matter-there's such a thing as
being on the ''inside," you know.

The City Council.

Three adjourned meetings OF the coun
Gil was held since last Thursday, the
one Saturday and Tuesday night. The
object OF those meetings were to formu-
late some plan by which the Gran Mesa
Lumber company could be induced TO
move their planning mill. which WAS being
constructed just buck OF the opera house.
w. r. Gale. who is president OF the
company. had been granted d permit to
build planning mill at that place some
time since by former council. The
citizens owning property in that portion
oi the town showed willingness to help
the council out in the matter by SUBJ
scribing liberally for that purpose.
Consequently Alderman Travis can.
vassed that part OF town for several days
and succeeded IN raising s305 in cash.
The third meeting which was held
last night proved to be quite interesting.
W. r. Travis reported to the board the
amount he had secured by subscription.
The amount was within S95 Of what the
lumber company had agreed TO move it's
machinery for-they wanting s40O which
is considered very moderate sum for
so doing. This amount was ordered paid
by the board. There was some objec-
ton to moving the mill to the new ioca-
iion near the cement factory. in fact ].
M. McMurray and others registered
quite vigorous kick, but after consider.
ing the matter the board decided that
it would be difficult to tind another loca.
tion and it was settled that the mill
would be built rs bad been decided upon.
Licenses were granted the Delta Liq-
uor Co., Gill 4 smith and F. u. Herrick
to run saloons.
Bonds zero approved for Treasurer
Mati,ess and Night Watch Shippey.
The question OF waller superintendent
WAS laid over until next reg gular meeting.
The board decided that all bills. ex
cept those Of fixed salary. must be
HI-d one day previous to regular meet
ings So as 10 give The tinance committee
time to audit the bills.
The water committee reported the
digging OF u cistern near the river by
which means they intend to filter the
wafer before it enters the main pun ping
cistern. A good flow OF water is report
I'd although nothing more than pros
pecting had been done. Alderman Nc
: Grew and Mayor Jobnson seem to think
that an abundance Of water can be
secured by this means and they are both
practical men aud are familiar with The
system.
Some discussion was had as to whether
or not water would be cut of from de-
linquents. As the system has not been
the best during the past winter it was
thought best to confer with the deliD-
quents and learn their reasoDs for re-.
fusing 10 pay water rent before cutting
off the water.
Much was said regarding sewers. water
pipes etc, which was finally turned over
to the proper committee.
