Looking Forward.

Unless one has something to look for
ward to il is difficult to live. When
the joy Of looking forward is gone the
zest of life ebbs and fails. The days
are evil and we have no pleasure in
them unless on tines horizon some
bright day burns like star.

IN response to telegram announc-
ing that an eastern man would be
ready to buy the proposed $780,.
600 bond issue. Mayor Corbin
placed the bonds on his inside
pocket and hied him hence. The
prospective bond buyer was an
ONO banker. The first thing he
wanted to know was whether OF
not the bond issue had been ap-
proved by the people, aud when
informed that the proposition had
never been submitted 10 a vote
he refused absolutely to con
sider the purchase Another oh
lection h= made was to the con
tract with the Otero ditch. An
Interview was also had with the
attorney for the Rollins Invest
ment Company. the gentleman
who manipulated the bond deal in
its infancy. drew up the ordnance.
form Of bonds. etc. He now turns
down his own handiwork and says
the bonds are not valid. It's very
evident that the Sioo. 900 bond
deal is off tor all time. Mayor
Corbin says that the city will n7w
Improve the pumping plant and
put down new we'll across the

which has already considerably in
