his position to the delegation of labor

All along the city engineer has been
opposed to the reservoir plan and in
favor of the additional pumping ca
pacity and new force mains. The
majority of the citizens interested in
the solution of the water problem
have, together with the representa-
tives of the insurance companies, in
sisted upon reservoirs.
Extravagant Plan.
The Press does not believe the plans
outlined by the city engineer-evi-
IDENTIFY for the purpose of pleasing all
sides-are the wisest for the city. 1t
is really combination of two plans
designed to bring the different sup
porters together and at cost to the
city far beyond the necessary figure.
Mr.. Gill has proposed the plan, but
he does not say how those two reser-
voirs and those two new pumps and
that new force main are going to be
paid for. Mr.. Gill neglected to point
out the limited amount of money for
which the city could be bonded.

At the Joint meeting Of the city
council, the executive committee of
the Taxpayers league and the spe-
cial water committee from the cham
ber of commerce last night the ques-
tion of relieving the water conditions
In Spokane was referred to Engineer
Il. C. Riblet, City Engineer A. f. Gill
and Water Commissioner f. p. Wey-
mouth. These experts are to prepare
a plan to be submitted to another
meeting at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
The selection of the three men
came after two hours discussion
of the water question, in which a
number of business men took part.
Immediately aftere the naming OF
himself as one of the committee City
Engineer Gill said he would report
on the building of new reservoir in
Cliff park, the building OF smaller
reservoir at Ninth avenue and Divis-
ion street, the laying of new force
main from the upriver water works
to the Cliff park reservoir and the in
stallation of two new pumps with n
daily capacity of 100000 gallons
each.
Gill Tries to Please.
The city engineer evidently intends
TO secure the support of all Of the
citizens who are advocating increased
water supply. He Is ready to build
reservoirs for those who want reser-
voirs, to put in new pumps for those
who support his contention that addi-
tional pumping capacity is what Is
needed and Is also willing to lay
new force mains for those who advo-
cate the latter. Above all things, Mr.
Gill Is politician. As a politician
he is willing to please everybody-at

champion steers have each year been
lower than the preceding one, until
the sale of Jute this year stemmed the
tide and! brought price $40 per hun
dredweight higher than the champion
of 1908. This steer was certainly a
model of it's kind, and great credit is
due to all concerned in the handling of
it, especially to those connected with
the Minnesota agricultural college in
the persons of Dean Liggett, whose
wisdom and foresight in buying this
steer as calf, with a great outcome,
is apparent, and Prof. Boss, the head
of the department Of animal bus
bandry, who directed the handling;
also Mr.. George Craig, the herdsman,
and graduate of this college, who
had Jute under his personal care from
the time he become the property of
the college until after he had passed
into the possession Of the United
dressed beef company in New York
city, where Mr.. Craig accompanied
Jute on his last journey. This steer
was the center of attraction in the
big cattle pavilion and was viewed by
thousands of admiring visitors, the
daily attendance at the show aver.
aging about 10000. The Minnesota
college certainly presented an object
lesson in the handling OF fat cattle
to the sons of stock men and farmers
that was appreciated by them as well
as by all agricultural students and the
public at large.

The extra cost Of maintaining frame

days when buildings Of all descrip-
