UPHELD
Are the Smoke Nuisance
Laws by a Chicago
Judge.

Chicago, May pa ruling has been
made in court here which is of in
terest to all cities in which the smoke
nuisance has become a serious mat
ter.
Chicago ordinances governing the
so-called smoke nuisance are upheld
by Judge Kohlsaat in an opinion an
nounced in the suit begun some time
ago by the Glucose Sugar Refining
company to restrain the city from en-
forcing the laws and attacking the
power Of the council to pass such
measures, claiming that the enforce
ment of the ordinances, under the
fourteenth amendment to the constr
tuition of the United States Is the TAX
ing of citizens property without the
due process of law. "The position TAX
en- by complainant involves the whole
question of the suppression Of dense
smoke. If the health and morals of
the city require 1t, even such result
as the bill of complaint declares
should not be allowed to defeat the
efforts of the authorities by proper
means to protect the public, the court
declares in his opinion.
The bill of complaint sought the
restriction of all city officials in en-.
forcing the ordinances governing the
regulation of smoke and declared that
the corporation has been subject to
great expense because of litigation
and attempts to comply with the ordi.

A LIONS SPRING.

We were washing for gold among
the streams of the Wind River noun
tains, and it was midsummer. The In
dams were hostile and mad given us
several close calls until we had pene-
trated the Businesses and got beyond
their ranging ground. When we set
to work at last we were as secluded
as if there was no world around US. A
man will die of loneliness on the
desert, but if lost in the grim noun
tains the loneliness will be ten times
greater. 1t is so lonely and silent and
grim among the Businesses that one
may wonder if the grizzly, the noun
tain lion and the wolf do not feel it.
We had on this morning moved our
camp about three miles down the
creek, and I was not feeling at all well.
While my partner Joe went back after
a second load 1 looked for a spot in
which to rest for an hour. Ten rods
TO the west of the creek there was a
rocky bluff, and ten feet up I saw the
mouth of cave. 1t was distressing
~ hot day, although deep among the
mountains, and l sought the cave for
its cool shelter 1t was a place not
over eight feet long by three deep-a

noise above me and was wide awake

some sort could have gained the rocks

earth below me. The sun was at my
back, and at the back of whatever
thing was up there, and it's shadow
crept into view inch by inch. In time
1 made out the ears and head of a
mountain lion. There was no mistaking
it for the head of any other animal.
From lair higher up among the rocks
the animal had got my scent on the
morning breeze and had come down to
stalk me- Down on the other side of
the bawling creek was my rifle, and 1
had even left my hunting knife among

also got that of some one else. 1t was

did not seem possible that other white
men had penetrated to that point 50

been in the mountains three weeks and
had seen no signs of Indians. In try
ing to solve the puzzle I almost forgot
my perilous situation.
When Joe returned he would not pass
the cave. but halt two hundred feet
away. He had his rifle and revolver
with him. Missing me, he would call
out. The lion would not attempt to at

DON'T KNOW WHAT TO Do.
Waterworks Committee Still in Guam
Diary About Water Fund

The waterworks committee of the
city council will meet this evening and
endeayor to recommend for passage
the waterworks ordinance which the
city attorney drew up under the in
structions of the committee. The COM
mittee is divided on the question of
providing a suitable fund for making
extensions of water mains-a fund
that will not only be legal, but which
at the same time will be large enough
for the needs. The committee would
like to retain the hydrant rental,
amounting to $4,000. but there is a
difficulty confronting such an at
tempt; it is claimed TO be illegal. The
ordinance presents few vexsome ques-
lions aside from this.
A. Watson, who has lived at Eighth
and Topeka avenues for thirty years,
thinks the extensions should be made
by voluntary contributions of 25 cents
from each voter. He also thinks the
meter system should be abolished be-
cause it is not fair.
