The Drinking Water Question

The absence of City Attorney Shaw is expected to cause the hearing in the case of VanHOrn and Fuller Bros. for driving hogs in the canal and polluting the water supply of the town, uo be car red over for a week We nrte quite a strong protest from the people living on the Elder ditch and hear of quite gen eraI complaint regarding this sort of misconduct One is led to believe that this law against allowing livestock in the canals is observed more in the breach than otherwise, and that it is too com mon practice among the people of allow ing their stock to run in the canals at will In fact, it is advanced by some as an argument against enforcement of the law, that if sickness would be produced from this cause we would have long ago been swept by an epedemic. We com bat this view. If the natural healthful- ness of our Valley has enabled us to throw off the evil effects which we might not have been able to do, let us be thank ful; but let us not depend upon that, and continue the vile practice of polluting our domestic water supply. Let the law be enforced. The hogs can be snp- piled with water without allowing them to run in the canals from which our pen pie get their domestic supply. 4 plan has been suggested for remedving the matter by the construction of large res ervoirs and settling basins at the main canal, eight miles south of town and conveying the water in pipe to this town, and perhaps to BrawIev as well This would insnre clean water, under strong pressure, and in abundant quan titv. Sc far as we know no figures have been made on this proposition. but we would like to see it taken up and invps- tigated It is what we will have to come to sooner or later, and perhaps it could be done now as well as any time.

A Suggestion On Damages

In conversation with l. w. Gleason we learn that the plan now in mind by the California Development Company for the SC clement of the damage claims is to pay them in water rentals in the future. It Is intended to first determine by a careful enquiry, what damage was really caused by the failure of the Cal- ifornia Development Company to de- liver water for the irrigation of crops during the season of 1903-4 For this purpose the lists of questions are sent out, the object being to ascertain what damage was caused by water shortage after first determining what effect late sowing and improperly prepared land had on the crop failure. After these matters have been disposed of and the actual damage from water shortage arrived at it is proposed that the farmers who suffered the damage be given credits that will be received in payment for irrigation water as follows: Here after, each share of stock to pay its
 
 minimum assessment in cash, and all water used by the stockholder in ex- cess of one acre foot per share, to be paid fir in these water credits. This is proposed for several reasons. One is, the California Development Company cannot pay them any other way. They l,foxy tn |, the present time and will need all their resources for construction work for d long time to come. The water will be as good as money to the farmers when they use it and the fact that water will be already paid for will cause these farmers to put in all their land and use all the water they want. All these factors will tend to improve the Valley and further it's development In this way the farmers can make their dam ages out of their farms many times over, ont of the free water thus furnish ed, the actual money they pay for wa ter remaining at the minimum assess ment for several years to come. No doubt it can be arranged to have these water credits transferable or subject to the order of the holder. This arrangement could be made very great benefit to the farmers and the Valley generally and at the same time the burden would be one the California D .velopment Company could carry. Mr. Gleason feels assured that this method could be arranged with very little trouble.

CATARRH A DISEASE OF THE
 SYSTEM.
Pe-ru-na Cures catarrh Wherever
 Located.

Catarrh is a systematic disease, cur able only by systematic treatment. A remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. Peruna inn mediately invigorates the nerve centers which give vitality to the mucous membranes. Then catarrh disappears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
 If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Pe- runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
 Address Dr. Hartman. President of The Hartman Sanitarium Columbus, ohio.
