porary chairman Homer l.. Castle Of
Pittsburg made a caustic speech on tax.

the liquor traffic, he said:

HEALTH And PROP
ERTY THREATENED.
Sinking Water Furnished by the
Water Company Threatens the
Health of the Community.
Lack of Water in the Pipes
Makes the Fire-Plugs Useless
and EndangerS the Town.

The quality Of the water. To say moth
ing about the quantity, now being fur.
nlshed the people Of Elkp by the water
company Is Il positive and reckless dis.
regard Tor the health OF this community.
The water fairly stlnks and IL wholly
unit for . civilized community to use
for domestic purposes What the cause
Of the present condition OF the water is
Ii said upon reliable authority to be the
pumping OF stagnant water from, the
web by the river bed into the reservoir
that supplies the town with water for
domestic purposes. 1t is reported that
instead OF cleaning out the we'll before
pumping water from it into the rescr yoir
the water that has stood in the well for
nearly a Year, with all the filth il has
gathered in that time. was pumped into
the reservoir and dishcd out to the PEG.
pie for domestic purposes. II this be
true. some one is guilty Of n grave crime
against the health OF every man, woman
and child IN Elko who Ia compelled TO
nse the water furnished by the EIko
Winter company.
Again it is generally reported that the
lack OF water for irrigation purposes is
due to the fact that a greater amouIt
OF land Is being irrigated by the Water
Company this year than last. Whether
this be true or not the writer does not
know, but be does know that the stink.
ing water now furnished for domestic
purposes would make splendid manure
for newly broken sage brush land.
Wednesday night there was not force
enough IN to throw a stream OF water
over Il picket fence. Had a fire broken
out the force was wholly insufficient to
fight it, The town is now pay ing S5S a
month Tor the use OF tire-plugs. but
what good are they unless there ia
plenty OF water in the pipes: The oon.
tract with the Water Co. provides, we
believe, for testing the for e OF the water
at any time the authorities may deem
proper, but 80 far as the writer knows,
this has never been done. Why this
tender sympathy is shown the Water
Company, those whose duty it ia to test
the flow OF water in the pipes may be
able to tell. There il one sure thing
no yer, and that If that % fire plugs
are not worth $50 Il month Just to look
at. We respectfully suggest to the
proper authorities that the fire-plugs
should be tested every day or two dur.
ing the long, hot spell before us.
The next legislature should pass d
stringent act to protect the public health
from such dish-upB rs the people Of ElkC
are now being given by the company
that supplies this town with water,
There should be some method by which
water companies could be compelled to
supply water fit for "A human being to
use or go out OF business.

gone before may take come patronage

The car was well filled with women
who had been shopping, and one
large woman was hanging on a strap.
Near her stood a small man intently

boys in the front OF the car extracted
something from his pocket. stopped
