service for the most money. Ma
nicipal ownership everywhere con-
siders fire protection as the first
consideration.
Fire protection in a town like
Grangeville means a substantial re-
duction of the rates of fire insur-
ance. The revenues of the water
system from it's customers are only
a trifle compared with the amount
which our business men pay out for
fire insurance premiums year after
year. Municipal ownership means
a substantial saving to our business
men in the matter of fire insurance.
X X X X
All the talk of increased taxa
ton if municipal ownership carries
is a bugaboo, a man of straw set up
to frighten the timid. The pur-
chase of the water plant and con-
tract by the city is the best and
simplest business proposition ever
brought before this community. On
the one hand municipal ownership
means the ownership and control
OF the most important of all public
utilities, together with the wiping
out of a debt of 1000 against the
city treasury in the next "a years,
with the absolute certainty Of a
large reduction in the price Of
water to consumers in the near
future. Private ownership means
a continuation Of the payment OF
s24, 600 out of the city treasury in
the next "a years under the con-
tract, with no fire protection and
no reduction in the water tolls
which you pay month by month.
Under private ownership we have
seen 80 cents per month added to
our monthly tolls for water for the
privilege of using a bath tub in our
homes. We have seen that private
ownership is a constant source oil
, dissension and strife to the com.
munity, keeping us fighting each
other, pervading our city elections
and setting neighbors by the earl
year after year. Municipal owner.
: ship is the common sense solution
: of all these troubles. Let the city
own and control its own water sup
: ply, giving lower rates to thu
domestic consumer and adequate
fire protection to the business nan

city treasury for good and all, and
the city owns the water system in
addition.
There is plenty of idle local cap
ital ready to do business with the
water company if municipal owner
ship is defeated. The ownership
of a water plant in a growing town
is one of the most desirable invest
ments to be found. The cost OF its
maintenance is small, and the re-
turns are large and sure. You do
not have to wait for your dividends
annually, as in the case OF a mort
gage, but the monthly rentals
come in month by month from the
consumers OF the water. There
are at present 306 customers on
the present water system. The
total receipts Of the water company
for the past year were s7421. The
total expense was $3.50, leaving
an annual net income Of $4931.
The system is growing with the
growth of the town, and each new
customer adds to the net profits oil
the system. Under municipa,
ownership these revenues will &c
to the city.
By this time next year we may
confidently expect the railroad t.
be built into Grangeville. Thii
means q large addition to our per
manent population, with q cores
ponding increase of customers o
the water system, and increased
revenues therefrom. Do yot
want the city to get the benefit o
the growth Of the water system O
do you want private owners to ge
the advantage thereof? Thes'
matters the voters of the city mus
decide next Tuesday.

THE BOND ELECTION.
Who are Entitled to Vote
Other Opinions on Question.

Oln0f opinions on Qu0SllOn.
EDITOR FREE PREss:-Sept. Is
is the last day for the registration
of voters for the municipal bond
election next Tuesday, Sept 10, to
decide for good and all the ques-
ton Of municipal Or private owner
ship of the Grangeville water sys-
tenn. Thus far nothing has been
published concerning the qualifca-
tion of voters for this election.
The law on this subject is some
what ambiguous, and NJ lawyer
will venture an opinion thereon
for publication. Single men and
women owning real Or personal
property subject to taxation within
the city limits are clearly entitled
to vote. But when it comes to
community property the law is
less clear. However, it seems
equally clear that if the property is
in the name of the husband, then
the husband alone is entitled to
vote. If the property is in the
name of the wife, then the wife il
entitled to vote. OF course, il
both husband and wife own separ.
ate property subject to taxation
within the city limits, then bott
are entitled to vote. 1t is claimed
that the county assessment rol
must show who are and who are moi
taxpayers and voters, but this il
preposterous, for the law never
contemplated that the county
assessor should be made the Judge
of who is or is not qualified to vott
at a municipal or other election
The possession of property subjec'
to taxation within the city limits
is the requirement OF the law. /
may be either real or persona
property. Six months residenc,
in the state and thirty days resi-
dence in the city is the only othei
requirement. But do not forge
that you must register next Satur
day or lose your vote. The cleo
ton requires q two-thirds vot,
and if you want municipal owner
ship you must register and vote.

jealous Of any interference with
their water power.
Different members Of the Com
nercial Club were on the rostrum
to safeguard any attempt that
might be made to take away their
water power without giving ade-
quate return.
There was one decidedly lively
episode. A man OH the platform
took issue with Mr.. Noble, disputed
some of his statements and engaged
III a fierce war of words. Mr.. Noble
was incensed by the tack and in
sisted that he be snoLea to "as
though he were gentleman - And
the audience applauded wildly and
shouted "Good!' Mo-e!" After
ward mutual apologies were in
order.
Taken altogether the meeting
was enllnently successful. MI.

Mr.. Jones was the speaker of the
evening, and his lucid ex plantations
Of the adjustments of water ights
IN the valley, preparatory to the
government taking hold, were lis
tened to with the most profound
attention and intei est.
Mr. Noble talked exclusively
from the government standpoint,
and his propositions were some
what Disappointing. He does not
hold out much promise for the i'm
mediate extension of the Sunnyside
canal even ifthe governments should
purchase it. Yet ne asks water
right owners to surrender to the
government all their holdings save
the actual quantity of water they
may have used the past season.
He was of course not at liberty
to say all that he might have in
mind in regard to even what has
been recommended to the Service.
Being a subordinate he could not
divulge what had been approved
by his superiors. Personally, Mr..
Noble could promise little. He
did not advise the Ledbetter pro-
ject for some years to come and
says in the most positive manner
that the government will not take
hold in the valley if handicapped
in any way whatever; that it is up
to the people to adjust their water
rights among themselves and in
their own way, but always with
the definite object in view of ad-
justments of water rights without
litigation and also with the view of
government control.

ent points By the contractors.
Only a small portion of the road

one of the longest stretches of grad
ing to be done with teams, and
even there the engineers have put
the line back on high ground that
in places is rocky, because of the
record made by the Columbia in
overfowing its banks in 1904.
While the north bank road is
not considered hard piece of con-
struction, it has been determined
that by far the largest portion of it
is through rocky lands and bluffs
that will necessltate picks, shoveIs
and dynamite.
