Pure Water "a consideration.

If the people generally were CON
suited. there would doubtless be con
census of opinion not only in favor of
providing every reasonable advantage
and precautiOn so far as pumping ia
cilities go, but in the matter of the
source of supply. The public is quite
naturally concerned fully as much in
the character as well as the volume OF
water that is to enter into the city
mains. Adequate pumping facilities
are of the utmost importance, but what
is more essential, or more imperative
than pure water? 1t is well that the
water works question has been aSitat-
cd 10 the extent that it has. II would
have been better had the public needed
fully the admonitiOn some weeks ago
that the subject was worthy OF the
more interest than it was receiving.
The agitation has developed the fact
that the intake pipe is needful OF at
tention. Aside from the precaution al
ways of the most timely Importance
that there should be abundant fire pro
lection, any increase in the volume OF
the supply served for consumption
will be worthless unless the supply is
pure.
Volume Not the Only Question at That.
And going back to the subject of the
volume, all that could be pumped into
the city pipes would be of little avail
without sufficient mains TO carry II
and il would be a lamentabie failure
for protection. if ever carried. il not
intelligently applied. Fire protection
does not lie in the deluge. Alertness
that insures the best results with az
little water as possible affords the only
adeuuate fire DroteCtiOn And alertness
can only be assured by going back to
| the adoption OF the first principle urged
| for years by The Argus-the installa
ton of a reliable alarm system.
So that. viewing the wateTworks Ques-
| tion from every side. there are after
all things to be considered besides the
putting of money into a certain brand
and a certain priced pump simply be
cause the city has saved ii up for that
purpose-and this without the least
disparagement of any reasonable pre-
caUtionary methods in the line of am
pie pumping facilities.

time the information that the council
would naturally be expected to desire
is as to the actual condition of the
present pumps and the extent of the
needs. On this point Supt. Cavanaugh
ought to be qualified TO speak. Conf

confirmation for the position he now
holds. AS has been repeatedly stated

young folks returned last evening from
the Prickett Farm near Montana
where they had spent a delightful.
day. The party was composed of
the Junior Christian Endeavorers OF
the Peoples Temple and Miss Nell.
Layman's Sabbath School class. Two
hay wagons conveying the party as
well as well filed lunch baskets left
the city about ten o'clock and reached
the farm about one. After a substan-
tial picnic dinner the young people
wandered over the farm at will and
enjoyed themselves as young people
can. They returned here after sum

one Of the men took them to a house
where a performance had been ar
ranged for them. Women, entirely
%disrobed, came into the room and
gave an exhibition. They wore only
shoes and stockings. Mrs. Taggart
said she IA sorry she had ever seen
1t.
Mrs. Taggart told me her friend,
an officers wife. was the sort of wo-
man that had all the men at her feet.
She had a way of going up to them
ard placing her hands on their knees
but she had never detected her in
anything compromising.
Mrs. Taggart told me when she
returned from the Philippines that
she did not want Mr.. Spencer to call
on her because he was such a nui-
and Captain Taggart did not
like him.
In cross-examination the witness
said she did not know whether Mr..
Spencer called on Mrs. Taggart or
ladies visiting her. A young lady
went upstairs with Mr.. Spencer to
turn on the light when he carried Mrs.
Taggart to her room. Mrs. Taggart
was Ill. She had a bad cold.
Witnesses for Captain Taggart were
here to-day to testify as to the repu.

Cruz, the Filipino girl with whom
Captain Taggart is accused by his
wife with indiscretion in Manila, was

family Of Captain Taggart. About the
month of August about three in the
afternoon, a Captain Bash was in the
house. Mrs. Taggart and Captain
Bash ordered me to go down and play
with the children. About half an hour
afterwards I went upstairs to get a
cigarette. The door to Captain and
Mrs. Taggart's room was ajar. I saw
Mrs. Taggart and Captain Bash in it.
He did not hear me because I was in
my bare feet. Captain Bash was of.
