men and the other member of the
board of delegates. One day 1 got
them together in a room. locked the
door and told them that tney would
not get away until 1 had them thor
oughly converted to my views They
swung around and were glad enough
TO escape finally from the room.
The question of finances stared us
In the face then, and we could not fig
ure any way to get around it until
one day We received a newspaper from
Spokane containing the news of a SUI
preme court decision that was lust the
tnlng we wanted. 1t had the effect
OF allowing city 40 build a water
plant and pay for it out of the receipts
of the plant without entailing anv ex-
pense whatever on the general fund.
I'VE decided that it was just what
we wanted to do. We would set aside
25 per. cent of the gross income for
the maintenance of the plant and de-
vote the remaining IS per cent. to pay
off the cost of the system.
ITO do this required a go per cent
vote of the people. There were many
opposed to the plan, but we finally de-
cided to attempt the project. This,
gentlemen, is the tenth anniversary
of the night on which we made that
decision. Every newspaper in the city,
every judge, every large property own
er, was violently opposed to the plan.
They called it sheer insanity"
Mr.. Thomson continued, saying that
finally the question was submitted to
the voters and carried by a vote of Is
per cent of the voters.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 20
Robert F'itzsimmons and philadelphia
Jack" O'Brien will meet in Woodward
pavilion tonight to fight for the
heavyweight championship of the
world" 1t promises to be one of the
most interesting fights ever pulled off
mere for many years and lovers of box
ing have come here from all parts OF
the country to witness the great bat
tie. The question whether Fitzsim-
mons can defeat the younger man, is
an open one and all sportdom is dis
GUESSING it, with the majority On the
negative side of the proposition.
F'itzsimmons is 43 years old. O'Brien
is q. O'Brien is a better boxer than
Fitzsimmons, but has not the punch
ing ability of the Cornishman. Both
men are ring generals. Each has gone
through more than a hundred battles
Their judgment is tempered by ex-
perience. OBrien is confident, rest
ing on the laurels of his victory over
AL Kaufman, the hard-hitting pro-
tege of Billy Delaney. He recalls the
sorry exhibition F'itz presented two
years ago when ne fought George
Gardner in San Francisco. But Fitz
is in better condition then he was
when he met Gardner He mas lived an
exemplay life and he can take punish
ment as we'll as administer it. The
last time Fitz and O'Brien met in
Philadelphia, O'Brien cut Fitz into rib
bons for three rounds, and then the
Cornishman drew himself together and
was wearing the Philadelphia down
when the police interfered and put
stop to the fight at the end of the sixth
round. Fitz had been in inferior con-
dition at the time of that fight, as he
had quit training a week before the
fight, on the statement that he au-
thorities would not permit the fight.
Fitz has been out of the ring
year. He is older and possibly slower
of movement then he was. O'Brien has
has been fighting right along and mas
travelled all over the country. His
fight with Kaufman showed that he is
a ring adversary, not to be lightly
overcome. One result the fight will
have besides settling the question Of
the superiority of the two men: it will
draw the other heavyweight aspirants
out into the open and start another
controversy over heavyweight honors
Good fights.

TO DISTRIBUTE THE PLUMS
ARKANSAS REPUBLICANS JUGGL

DIOUS PROBLEM.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. 2O.-The
most important session held by the
republican state central committee
during the past four years was called
to order by H. L. Remmel, the chair
man of the committee, this morning
All the SO members Of the committee
were present, wnen the roll was called.
The object of the meeting is to de-
eide on the distribution of the large
terms of the present incumbents
expires within the next few months
This number includes nearly all the
important federal offices in the state,
as we'll as between thirty and thirty
five presidential postoffices. Judging
from present indications there will be
contests for nearly all the offices and
the committee will have a rather
stormy time of it. 1t is expected that
the biggest fight will be made over
the marshallship for the eastern dis
trict. H. L. Remmel and Col. A. S.
Fowler have both been carrying on
spirited campaign and both are con-
dident of success. Another question,

CITY ENGINEER THOMSON TELLS
PEOPLE OF TACOMA ABOUT
HIS EXPERIENCES.
Was Financed Along Lines Similar to
Those Proposed by WaIIa Walla
Commercial Club.


council. the Commercial Club and quite
a number of citizens of Walla Walla
are wrestling with the water ques-
ton the following extract taken from
a speech delivered at Tacoma by En-
gineer Thompson may prove Of inter-
est to the readers of the Evening
Statesman. After recounting the var
ious water systems that had been en-
ployed in Seattle, Mr. Thompson said:
Many Sources Were Suggested.
"a short time later we ran across
Rock creek, which had flow of 5,OOO,-
600 gallons of water per day. Many
at once began advocating Rock creek
as source of supply. They suggested
that Swan lake could be used as
reservoir for the waters of the creek.
Then 1 pursued my way to the south,
while Mr.. Whiteworta went north. l
discovered Green river and returned
to the city strongly in favor of that as
a source of supply, while Mr.. White
worth was equally in favor of another
stream, which he had found-Cedar
river.
AT that time Mr.. Leary was get
ting his supply from Lake Washing
ton by pumping. He had been forced
to abandon his spring proposition and
was now raising his water 465 feet
above the sea level by pumps. About
that time, in 1887, Robert Moran was
elected mayor of Seattle He became
interested in the water question and
conceived the idea of having the city
take over the system operated by
Leary and having it run by the mu-
nicipality. With this aim in view he
sent for an engineer from Chicago to
come and appraise the value of Leary's
system and to make recommendations
in regard to the best plan for the city
to adopt. Shortly after the fire 1 be-
came city engineer and was requested
to make a thorough investigation OF
conditions and report to the mayor
as soon as possible. More pumps were
being installed in Lake Washington
at the time. 1 at once reported that
Lake WASHINGTON would not be of any
use as a permanent supply. AS fast
as 1 could find time for it I began a
careful investigation of other sources.
I recommended, as the result Of these
Investigations, that in my opinion the
city should secure Rock creek, Cedar
river, Swan lake and a part of Green
river-thus urging the use of all of the
watersheds which had been talked OF
for some years before.
LAS soon as this report was made
public some of the influential men o.
the city rushed to the streams men
toned in the report, and acquired the
| land which we had in view. When we
got ready to begin operations we found
| a company in the field which was ready
to begin operations we found COM
pany in the field which was ready
to supply the city with water. Then
| came another setback. In 1893
the city treasury was looted, and it
was impossible to do anything for
some time for lack of funds.
Urged Council to Take Action.
But the fact kept presenting itself
that the city must have water. The
| council dallied along and did nothing
to relieve the situation. 1 urged them
| to take action, but made no Roadway.

But was not there an ominuus sig
nilcance in its being found on the
bank of the river so near the spot
where the Italians were wont to land
on their excursions after liquor?
Easily excited, malicious and revenge
ful, ready to brandish their knives at
any provocation, 1t was not impossible
that they had set upon Hamilton when
intoxicated, killed him and sunk his
body in the river If his surmises
should be proved true, then it would
not be asked why Hamilton should do
so strange a thing as to go to the bank
and yet not to his own house after
wards. II would be seen that he was
on the way there when something hap
pened to prevent, something dreadful,
or he would have been heard from.

to what would be the wisest course,
called after banking hours at the
house of the president Mr.. Hastings

alone with the president in the lat

confirmatory of his statement.

not you think so, Mr.. Hastings?"

that this is all the purest conjecture;
but il by any strange conjunction OF

INCIDENT TOLD BY CYNic.
Proof of Presence of Skeleton l.
Every Mans Closet.

The late Emerson Bennett of Phi&
delphia was in his prime the most
popular American author He was the
star of Robert Bonner's New York
Ledger staff. and certain of his books
THE Prairie Flower" and THE
Phantom of the Forest"-had a circu-
lation that would be thought enormous
even now.
Mr.. Bennett was over so years old
when he died. He was so unfortunate
as to have outlived his fame. Never.
theless, he continued cheerful to the
end, and in the Masonic home, where
was priced highly.
Mr.. Bennett often used to talk about
Robert Bonner at the home. This is
one of the Bonner stories that he
sometimes told:
Bonner one day was criticising hui
man nature cynically. A clergyman
took up the cudgel in human natures
defense.
There is good in all of u.s." he said !;
more good than bad | believe that 80
per cent of us have never done any
thing for which there is real cause to

closet. You could shoot a gun any
where and bring down bad man.

once knew a bishop who was consider
ed the holiest man In America A
friend of mine, by the way of Joke,
telegraphed one night to this bishop:
"'All is discovered. Fly at once "
Mr.. Banner paused and chuckled.
"Well?" said the clergyman, impa-
tiently. well. what happened?'
"By morning." said Mr.. Bonner, "the
bishop had disappeared, and he has
never been heard Of since New Or
