Council Will Consider Water
 and Schools

Two important matters will probably come before the council for it's action at the meeting which will be held to- night. President Daly, of the chamber ot commerce, will probably submit a plan for the organization of a company l to establish a water system in Skag- way, and petition may be presented to the council asking that the election ot school officers be dispensed with until next April.
 Mir. Daly and the chamber of com merce committee, has secured an offer from one of the largest dealers in iron ani steel pipes to furnish Skagway, or a company of it's leading citizens, pipe for a first-class water system on one and two years time. It is figured that 1t would cost from Sl5 900 to S2O,0O0to put in a first-class water plant. This would be by utilizing the spring at Twenty-second avenue, the water right at which place has been secured for the city, Mayor Keller having filed loca- tiou notice upon it. This water could be pumped up on the side of the mounl tain to a reservoir by an arrangement with the w. P. X Y. R., from which a gravity system could be fed. It has been figured that there is s50O0 now in the city treasury and that by increas- ing the tax levy, the city could go into debt sufficiently to pay the labor of in- stalling the proposed water plant. This will be submitted to the council tonight.
 The proposition that the city dis peuse with the school election at the present time will be made, if at all, by those who desire that the school cleo tion shall take place earlier in the sea- season. It is held that, under the law, if an election shall take place at the present time, the men chosen will have been placed in office for a year. It is pointed out that the law provides that school officers shall be chosen, "whose terms shall be for one year" and there fore, the only way to fix an earlier date than June for the school election would be to permit the old school board to hold over till April. The council may hesitate to act on this matter, through fear that an eleventh hour decision might be misunderstood; and then it may not be in accordance with the views of tho eisy councilmen.

with the hotel The upper floors wiz
continue to be used by the Hotel fol-
rooms but other changes will be made
| in the arrangements, which includes
| the moving the dining room to the low
| Ell floor and easy of access from the
street. The present dining room now
on the fourth floor will be made into
| rooms for the use of guests. This will
make the National one of the best
equipped hotels in the west. 1t is IN
derstood that the lease on the property
held by Charles L. Wood and c. r.
Williamson which will soon expire is to
be renewed and they will continue in
charge of the new National.
Mr.. o. E. Walker erected this building
in 1889. just before the collapse of the
boom. Like other men in Topeka at
that time nearly everything he had
was swept away and the building was
taken under mortgage foreclosure.
Mr.. Walker, however, did not give up
and with energy for which he is known
he went to Oklahoma where he began
raising wheat. In a few years he had
made enough to enable him to come
back to Topeka and redeem this build
ing. He also bought the COVille place
west of Topeka where he now lives.
The purchase of the Walker building
by Mr.. Devlin gives him a frontage of
IS feet on Kansas avenue at the north
west corner of Seventh street and Kan
sas avenue, as he already owns the Ma
tional hotel. He also owns a frontage
of rs feet on the southeast corner known
as the Central National bank property.
Mr.. Devlin continues to add to his
holdings of Topeka property with a
regularity that indicates his confidence
in the city. Besides the two large
buildings mentioned he owns the vacant
property at the southeast corner of
Eighth avenue and Jackson street and
the property at Ninth street and Kan
saS avenue upon which his office is sit
uated. He also owns a. handsome home
stead at Thirteenth street and Topeka
avenue which he has recently enlarged
by the purchase of the three lots di-
rectly south of his property and from
which the buildings will be moved to
give him larger grounds for his city
residence. Mr.. Devlin has also recently
purchased a farm few miles south of
Topeka for q summer residence.
The sale of the Walker building is
undoubtedly a prelude to other trans
fers of Kansas avenue property. 1t is
known that negotiations are in pro-
gress from a corner only a block away
from the National hotel but the
deal is still somewhat In the air and
may not be made. The sale of the
Walker property and the Real Estate
building two weeks so are the largest
sales that have been recorded for a
year or more although the corner di-
rectly back of the National and 'front.'
ing on Jackson street has also recently
been transferred. Willard N. Hall be-
ing the purchaser.
