DULU1H HEIGHTS: G0Ss jjI {.
BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS
First Steps BY City Council Is
Taken to Get Money for
Heights Water Works.
Members Of Water and Light
Commission Appear Before
City Council In: Matter.

The first practical steps have been
taken for securing money for the build
Ing OF a water plant on Duluth
Heights. At meeting of the city cum
ell on Monday evening the members of
the water and light commission
appeared and laid before the council
a proposition for Issuing bonds for the
purpose of making some necessary ex-
tensions to the present water and light
plant, and for building a. plant upon
Duluth Heights,
The statement made to the council
was as follows:
THE people Of Duluth Heights have
asked the department to construct a
water system in that territory, where
by they may be supplied with water
from large wells, until such time as
an uphill system can be constructed
to supply all Of the territory above
the present water pressure. If water
pipes and mains are installed in that
district to be used for water sup
ply from wells. the same pipes and the
same system can be used when the
time comes that the department shall
be able to establish an uphill system.
The department has not yet sufficient
ly considered the question of grant
ing the request Of the Duluth Heights
people, but if it shall conclude to COM
ply with their request, that will re-
quire expenditure of $4,000. The
installation of this Duluth Heights sys-
tenn will depend upon whether suf-
fcient income Is guaranteed, and
whether a sufficient quantity of pure
water can be obtained. Before pro-
ceeding with the installation Of such
plant, the commissioners will I'M
doubted1y obtain expert testimony as
to the quality of the water that can
be furnished from wells in that ter
ritory."
1t will be noticed in the above that
the board is naturally in favor of the
construction of the plant, and the only
obstacles in the way will be the secur-
ing of a sufficient revenue, and the
necessary quantity Of pure and whole
some water AS to the latter we have
an abundance of confidence. We be-
1ieve that there is a. veritab1e under
ground lake under the suburb and the
gravel bed underlying the surface war
rants the theory that the water is alb
solutely pure.
The matter Of revenue will be the
most difficult 1t will require at least
a guarantee Of 1920 from the people
of Duluth Heights. At present we have
a promise Of $3.50. 1t will be up to the
citizens to do the rest.

TUNNELS IN PARIS.

From the Electric Review:
Paris will have forty miles of SUBJ
way when the work now begun is
completed. 1t Is carried out in sections
and at present two of the sections are
finished, and have been in use since the
latter part of October. One Of them
runs across the central part of the
city and connects at each end with one
Of the existing lines. It passes the St.
Lazare. The line runs entirely in tun-
mel. One Of the remarkable points of
construction Is the huge masonry and
iron work block which lies in front Of
the Opera. It contains three superposed
tunnels, as in the future there will be
three roads crossing at this point.

LOWELL SCHOOL CHILDREN

On next Thursday evening at the fire

everyone who has seen rehearsal.
The admission fee will be 10 cents,
and the proceeds will be used to pur-
chase instructive pictures for the
school building. Every child in the
school is enthusiastic over the enter
tainment, and this alone 1nsures it's
success.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Naturaliz-

the president in a talk he had with
Representative Goulden Of New York
Mr.. Goulden said he had a bill pend

proposed to, withdraw that measure
and introduce a joint resolution pro-
vtding for a commission to revise the
naturalization laws. The president
approved the commission plan and
suggested that Mr.. Goulden discuss the
subject with Attorney General Moody.

upon the part Of organizations Of cap
ital to avoid long and sometimes bit
ter strike and boycott controversies
is to be commended, and members Of

The last paragraph in the quotation
reproduced above is very strongly ia
vorable to organized labor, with the
exception Of the words Grimes by in

Union Violence Farfetched.
1t is conceded that individual men,
bers Of labor unions perhaps commit
crimes occasionally, but the words

what farfetcf ed. We do not recall at
this time having ever heard of a
union, as a union, committing crime
Unions make mistakes as well as in
divtduals. but it Is scarcely probable
that union, In its organized capac-
ity, would deliberately and knowingly
commit crime. A majority or even
two thirds or three-fourths Of the
individual capacity, commit crime, or
might do so while understanding each
other; still this would not be the
union itself committing the deed I'M
less it had been SO ordered In the reg
ular and constitutional way. The
words "and few unions may have
been intended as thrust at the West
ern Federation Of Miners or some Of
its locals, or perhaps at the Butcher
Workmen In Chicago in their recent
trouble. or perhaps at the great rail-
road strike In Chicago in 1894. If So,
the Injustice Of the reference is ap-
parent. It is pretty certain propo-
sition that the crimes connected with
these strikes and unfairly charged to
the strikers were actually committed
by the hired thugs. so-called detect

To Sterilize Drinking Water.

Here Is the latest receipt for steriliz'
ing drinking water and killing Off the
typhoid germ: Put four drops of tine.
ture of iodine in half n gallon Of water
and permit it to stand ut least half an
hour. BY the end Of that time 1t will be
as harmless as distilled water. Many
persons have not the facilities for max.
ing distilled water. Boiling 1t also en-.
tails a certain amount Of trouble. In
either case the water Is fiat and un.
pleasant to the taste. The few drops
of iodine impart practically no taste to
the amount of water they sterilize, and
at the same time they answer every
medicinal purpose.
