GREATLY FAV0RS
WATER PROJECT
Colonel {. T. Holmes Writes a
Letter TO Mayor Morris.
SAYS THE STEP is NEEDED
THINKS EVEN GREATER Ex-
PENDITURE ADVISABLE.

Colonel T. +. Holmes. president OF
the Commercial club, who was active in
behalf Of the club two years ago in
studying and seeking a solution Of the
Salt Lake City water problem. has
written a letter 90 Mayor Morris en-
dorsing the latter's plan now submitted
TO the taxpayers. Colonel Holmes is
now in New York on an eastern trip.
His letter Is as follows:
New York. Dec. s. 1904.-Iion Richard
Norris Mayor Salt Lake City. Utah
Dear Sir: Having been duly informed
through the newspapers and by private
adVices concerning the movement 20 i'm
prove the city water supply | write 70
as understand 1t. and hope most ear
nestlv that the people will approve of
the proposed bond issue. If / had any
criticism to make. il would be that your
committee had not gone far enough along
the lines indicated. as there is no doubt
but the city will eventually require
and must have the entire flow Of Mill
creek and both Cottonwood streams and
there are times during the low water
period when the whole flow would not
be too much for a city of 10000 people.
During this same period OF low water
supply, the city needs and must have the
most water. and during former inves-
tigation II was found that in Denver the
consumption was 40 gallons per capita
during this period, and this where the
water was paid for at a rate about four
times as high as that charged IN Salt
Lake city. This is about the only city
in which the climatic conditions are SIM
liar 10 ours, and the water there is in
the hands OF private company Every
years that the Settlement of this ques-
ton is put off. Just so much more the
people viii have 10 pay.
Yours truly, -

SOLID IN OPPOSITION
Western Men Are Trying to De.
feat the Hill Coinage
Bill.
Especial to The Heraid.)

Washington, d. c., Dec. 13.-Western
men in congress. including the solid
delegations from Utah and Colorado.
are lining up to defeat the Hill coinage
bill, now pending in the house. Prac-
tically every man in the west is opposed
to recoining silver dollars into frac-
tiOnal currency, as proposed by this
measure, and these men, combining
with that element opposed to disturbing
currency conditions, viii probably bring
about the defeat of the Hill bill.
While the western men are assigning
various reasons for their opposition, the
principal cause for their adverse atti-
tude is their desire 10 prevent the re-
coming of silver dollars. thereby fore
ing the purchase of bullion for subsi-
diary coin. They recognize that some
thing must be done soon to meet the
growing demands OF business. and if
they can prevent the recOining of silver
dollars they are confident it will be but
a short time before the government is
compelled to again go into the market
and purchase silver for new fractional
currency.

SAW A WILD MAN.
Story Brought in by British Cclum-
bia Hunters.

Vancouver. 3. G.. Dec. 13.-While out
hunting recently near Horne lake, four
reliable men from Qualicum named
Kinkaid, Ross, Hutchins and Krump,
saw a wild man, evidently young, with
long matted hair and beard and COW
cred with hair all over his body. The
man ran away with the swifness of a
deer when the four approached. Sew
eral times during the past few years
reports have come from the Horne lake
district that such a creature had been
seen. and people recollect that twelve
years ago a boy wandered off in to the
bush and was. never seen again. IL is
surmised that this little boy grew up,
but how he Jared unless cared for by
wild animals, Mogli fashion, il is diff
cult to understand. A party will go
out to search for the wild man.

Gear swore by his Ear.


The uneducated peasants IN the Chersen
province OF Russia have an extraordinary
belief that the ear has only one ear.
They are confirmed in their belief hv
pictures and photographs of the car
showing d side face view and naturally
exhibiting only one ear. They account
for the absence OF the other in the fol-
lowing manner:
some time ago they say, a deputation
from their province waited upon the car.
and in the course Of the meeting the car
IS said to have stated that an Russian
land would be divided equally amon~ the
peasants Of the various districts
To this one Of the deputatiOn boldly
said:
AS sure IS YOU cannot see your own
ears You viii not divide the land 4"
The cars reply 10 this was to cut off
one Of his (the cars ears, which he
placed upon the table, remarking as he
did so:
As surely as now see my ear will
divide the land. -

~ believe that he has only one ear and
