The vote throughout the State will
perhaps be a little larger than usual

Talk GunniS0n Tunnel.
MOnITose Enterprise.

Monifose Enterprise.
a very interesting and spicy meeting
was held at the court house Saturday
About eleven o'clock a number of citi
zens concluded while the most OF the
members Of the Executive committee OF
Water Users Association were in town
to obtain meeting OF that committee
and talk over the appointment OF com
mittee to be sent to Washington, also of
other matters concerning the tunnel
project. This was done, though of
course the executive committee could
not meet as body, as several memb bers
we're absent, and could not receive
proper notice.
Judge Bell was chosen chairman and
A. f. Reeves made some statements to
the meeting, which were answered by
Judge Bell. Talks were made by F.. D.
Catlin. Senator Buckley, Dr. Shermer-
horn. G. NJ. Ryan, John Gray, j. F.
Kyle, E. l.. Osborn. E. G. Brown and
others, all of which were very interest
ing and to the point. The executive
committee members present expressed
themselves as positively in favor of
committee to be sent to Washington
and assured the people present that one
would be appointed 10 due season.
The meeting brought out many facts
concerning the tunnel. and gave the
people much enlightenment regarding
what was do be done.
Now all there is TO be done is to get
together and push, and there isn't
possibility of a failure. 1t should be an
easy thing il all work in harmony to Sc
cure enough land TO make up the $1,000
acres required from the land owners of
the valley. This done. and there isn't
a possibility OF failure. The project is
absolutely won.

The Chicago Disaster.

The past few weeks has seen an un
usual number of-terrible railway acci-
dents in this country. The two great
horrors in Pennsylvania and Michigan
have been accompanied by many others
of lesser proportions. and the climax
was reached Wednesday in the great
theatre disaster which will take its place
among the great catastrophes Of this
class.
From the accounts thus far received
it appears that the disaster was one
practically beyond human control. 1t
is true that the great majority OF the
many hundreds OF victims were killed
as result of the frantic rush to- ward
the open air, IN which the frightened
men. women and children hurled them
selves over each other like frightened
sheep. But there is plenty OF terrible
evidence that the danger from which
they fled was a real and deadly one.

be found to have been killed and
wounded when full reports come in. 1t

scarcely ever gets below the freezing
