sonal inspection by the commissioner
and by examining his books, of finding
where connections with the city water
mains have been made.
The council should also require that
all meters be located at the curb and
not, as ut present, at any place where
the property owner may choose to
place them. In this way leaks could be
readily located. The necessity for this
is easily illustrated. On the property
where County Clerk CARRIER formerly
resided the pipe broke in two, causing
a leak of 800 gallons a day, yet no
water appeared on the surface. Had
| the meter been located at the hydrant
instead of at the curb the leak would
have remained undiscovered for an in
definite period.
Should the new council succeed in
making the water works s~elf-sustain.

hoped that this part of the state would

The appointment of Judge Baxter
of Omaha to succeed District Attorney
Summers leaves Harry Lindsay out in
the cold There is one appointment
remaining which Mr.. Lindsay could
accept without cheapening himself
that of clerk of the supreme court.
Chairman Lindsay has worked hard
for the the success of the Republican
party, and the Justices of the supreme
court could bestow the honor of its
clerkship on 40 more deserving per.
sou. We are adherents of the axiom
TO the victors belong the spoils,
and, in u judgement, Chairman
Lindsay has contributed largely to the
success of the Republican party in
this state and is deserving of some

The Water Works Question,

Each succeeding council for years
past has had to grapple with the ques-
ton of how to make the city water
works IA self-sustaining institution.
Previous to 1902 IA fiat rate was
charged; then an ordinance was
passed requiring all users of city water
to put in meters. IL was hoped by this
means to greatly increase the income
from the water works, which has
proved to be tine case. The amount
collected from private parties is much
smaller than formerly, while the larger
users of water. such as the B. n NJ, pay
much more than under the flat rate.
The b. a NJ. has for more than Il
year been paying from SO to 500 per
month, and that at the low rate of S
cents per thousand gallons, while I'M
der the old rate they paid but $50 per
month a part of the time and for "A
long time paid nothing.
The meter system has also had the
effect of cutting down the amount of
water wasted, eifecting another saving
to the city.
One of the first things that should
be done is the laying of II direct line of
pipe from the pumping station to the
stand pipe, which would effect IA big
saving in the expense of pumping and
wear on the machinery, which but for
the care lavi,hed on it by Engineer
Sellars would have broken down long
ago.
a plat of the mains and connections
should also be made. At the present
time there is no means, except by per.

AS soon as the County Council got
control of the land offers from Ameri-
can capitalists. who wanted to put up
skyscrapers, became plentiful. The
Americans were willing to pay any fair
consideration and abide by any reason
able conditions, and they had the
money behind them The council was
pleased to have such good customers,
and plans were at once Forthcoming for
one of the grea test office buildings In

tai Then "VoX Populf' began to
growl in the columns of his favorite
newspaper that he wasn't helping the
municipality to raise $50, 100000 sim
ply to-open new opportunities for the
American invasion. There was SO
much of this sort Of talk, regardless
Of the fact that the Americans were
Offering fancy prices, that the County
Council became frightened.
Lord Rosebery, who was the first
president of the council, is quoted as
saying, when he saw the number of
American applications for sites: "lf
we entertain all these offers the new
street will be nothing more than a
miniature New York. Even though ii
may not be good finance, we cannot
have our first great thoroughfare a
promenade of American stores"
Private influence of great strength
was brought to bear on the council
until it decided to shut out Americans
by refusing permission for skyscrapers,
and restricting builders to leases of but
eight years after which the structures
would revert to the municipality.
1t seems to have escaped the atten-
ton of the county statesmen that the
restrictions which cut off American OPP
portunltles likewise make it unprotlt
able for British capitalists to put up
costly buildings on Kingsway, as the
new street has been named. The result
is that what was to have been the
worlds finest commercial avenue is to
be lined with the cheapest buildings

pleted in the new thoroughfare is ut
terly without dignity and its neighbOrs
are to be similar in character.

tons for sites In the new street has
been withdrawn. Among Others there
were plans for n mammoth American
department store and two theaters, one
of which was for the Frohmans.

strenuous party was at the height of

made them valuable, and as The Arabs
thought their converts were sincere and
looked upon them with the utmost

The Mahdi and his followers were
not inclined to deal any too gently
with Christians who fell into their

presence with the Mahdi ultimately

This is the kind Of talk the traveller
hears in the trappers' huts and rest
houses on the frozen Yukon river and
the Behring coast up to Nome. Along
1000 miles of this ice bound region the
United States government has estab-
lished the loneliest and most dangerous
mail route in the world.
The mail carriers travel on foot over
LOCO miles of route, and one stretch Of
uninhabited country, has to be cover
ed by a single postman. The Yukon
mail carrier must travel with his dog
sledge along n river piled up with
blocks of ice like the powders on II
hillside.
The river is several miles wide in
places, and sometimes the surface Is
so broken by hillocks of ice and snow
drifts that its winding course cannot
be distinguished from the land. The
carrier then has to don his snowshoes
and break a new trail for the dogs over
the trackless waste
Theodore Blum started to do this one
morning. 1t was on the Yukon Hats,
inst inside the arctic circle, where the
river is nearly IL miles wide.
He carried a long fir pole with him,
his dog team following him, and when;
he felt the ice giving way he threw
down the pole and rested his weight on
it. But even though his weight was
thus distributed. il did not always save
him from ducking. He broke through
no fewer than six times in his endeavor
to cross the river, and narrowly eS-
capped being frozen before he could
