In connection with the auditor .
report there is another matter Of impor-
lance to the taxpayers Of Marion.
Before the corporate limits Of the city
were extended and before Il became a
mile square, the length Of the railroad
track in the city was considered one
fourth Of a miIc.
On this basis the valuation within
the corporate limits was made $3.50
for the quarter mile Of track and sliOo
for other property makes total Of $3.50
subject to city tax.
The corporate limits Of Marion were
extended in ample time for the city to
have been the beneficiary IN the 1890
taxes. THIS matter was called TO the
attention Of the eity attorney last year
BY the editor Of this paper. The attor-
ney Investigated the matter and was
informed by state authorities that u
was too late for the correction TO be
made that year and u was made Known
that the city could be the beneficiary
this year Of taxes on at least a mile Of
the I. c. rackagc or 5000 TO which
sllG for other property should be
added making the taxable value to the
city $500. Just why the omission Is
made again this year Is not known, but
the city Is entitled To taxes On a mile Of
trackagc. there can be nc question. and
on account Of the fact having been
made known to the railroad eommis-
sioncrs about year ago Il will cvi'
IDENTIFY be an easy matter TO have the
assessment changed and the other tax
payers Of the city will very likely
demand that Il be 80 done.

tanks, so it will only be a question ci supplying more tank room when the demand for water increases; the ma chinery for pumping it is already in- stalled The water works for the town and ice plant both connect with these tanks. All the water used in making ice is run through Altering paper, the
 same as is used by druggists, and is thus rendered as pure as it would be were il distilled. The Holton Power company also owns the water works at Holtvllle. These are located near the west end of the power canal and the water supply is drawn from the powe
 canal. As this canal is nearly thrt e miles long and SO feet wide for much of its length it forms quite 9 settling basin of itself and consequently the water at the point where it is taken out by the Holtvlle water works is always clear and pure. The water tower IS about 30 feet high and is surmounted by two tanks of about 5000 gallon cap acity each. Into these the water is lifted by a centrifugal pump, which up to the present time has been operated by gasoline engine, but the motor for running 1t has already been bought and will be installed and the change made from gasoline to electricity in a very short time. From these water tanks pipe system conveys water over the town of Holtville and supplies it to the residents of that town. All irrigation in the town is done with water from

certainty of increasing very rapidly. They will increase their capacity as soon as the present season is over and prepare for taking care of all the busi- ness f.. the Valley. This will be done by putting in another freezing tank, thus doubling the capacity of the plant and by building two more ice storage rooms and increasing the storing capac
 ity to at least 10000 tons The ma chinery now in the building could oper- ate an additional freezing tank and double the amount of refrigeration. In fact, it was put in with the expectation of operating twice the amount of freez- ing tanks and refrigeration and all prep arations made for doubling the capacity of the plant before next cantaloupe season comes around. The business has increased more rapidly than was expected and is three or four times as great as was anticipated. The phe- nomonal success of the cantaloupe growers has doubled up the demand for ice and will keep on increasing it and the Holton Power company will in crease their facilities for supplying this demand so as to take care of it, no matter how great it may be. The ad- vantages possessed by that company for this business is so great that they can produce ice more cheaply than any other ice plant in Southern Cali fornia.
 In connection with the ice plant at Fl Centro the water works for that town are operated. The methods used to settle and filter the water before it is. used in manufacturing ice or fur nished to consumers at Fl Centro are the best that are employed in the valley. The water supply for both the ice plant and the town is taken from the Date canal at the headgate on the northwest corner of the Fl Centro townslte. From there if is conducted for about l-3 of a mile in a ditch 30 feet wide and about 8 feet deep. This makes quite a settling basin itself and when the water is drawn out of it il is quite clear. From this canal the water is carried through pipes into and through a system of SIX settling basins, each about lOOx2OO feet and ten or twelve feet deep. Four of these basins are west of the Southern Pacific tracks and two are east of them and almost directly in front of the ice manufactur- ing plant. Before the water reaches the last of these settling basins it is as clear as if ii had been distilled and has passed through number of feet of sand and graveI filter Near the last of he settling basins the water tower and pumping plant is located. Here is a tower 36 feet high surmounted by two sheet.iron tanks of 5000 gallons capacity each. In an adjoining pump house is a centrifugal pump driven by an electric motor. This pump is cap able of raising sufficient water in Is minutes to fill one of these 5000 gallon

Letter to II. II Btsbee

PENIS Grove NJ
Dear Sir: You know, diamonds don't
o by size. So with paint.
We make paint, one gallon of which
goes as far as two OF another and last
twice as long: that's four to one.
You know it is true in diamonds; they
don't go by the gallon, do they?
II you're going to paint your house, you
go first to your painter and say: Pm 60
ing to paint; do you want the job? and
what'n it COST"
If he happens to know, he'll say:
Depends on the paint. | can do it for some
where about 500 or 5000, whichever you
like; 500 will make a good job; 5000 a
poor one"
And you, if you have your wits, you'll
say: "Tll take the good one when'll you
do it?"
Painters ought, all, to know about
paint; and jewellers ought to be able to get
a good job. We do what we can to help
both.
One gallon Dev voc is better than two of
average paint-and Devoe will wear a long
time; the life of average paint is very un.
certain, it may be a year, it may be five.
Why is it that painters don't know about
paint? Do jewelers. Fnow about diamonds?
They know more than they tell sometimes.
There are painter and painters; so there are
jewellers; SO there is paint, and the least
gallons paint is Devoe.
Yours truly
FW DEVOE & go

County Court,

Salem County Court closed its criminal
business last Friday when Judge G. II.
Sinnickson made the following sentences.

ard Forman, for larceny Of a bicycle, was
sent to the State Reformatory.
The sensation at this term of Court was
made OH Thursday by Mrs. VIM Rey-
nolds, OF Yorktown, nee Jennie McCarty,
formerly of Penn's Grove. Mrs. Reynolds
was on trial for assault on Miss Myrtle
Myers, teacher of Pleasant Hill school,
which is zeal the Reynolds home. Miss
Myers, who is the daughter of Rev.
Myers, Pastor of the Wildwood Baptist
Church and supervising principal OF the
schools of Five-Mile Beach, told how
Mrs. Reynolds had attacked her in the
| neck with a stick and threatened herilife
| with all iron bar she carried. Earl Urion,
a boy, who was driving by, leaped from
| his wagon and saved her from further
harm.
Roy Horner swore that when he attend
| ed school at Pleasant Hill many a time
Mrs. Reynolds had leveled a gun Oh the
| children for making what she called too
much noise. William Horner stated that
only a short time ago, after she assaulted
Miss Myers, Mrs. Reynolds struck one
OF his daughters with a whip
SAID TEACHER Cur DIDEoEs.
Mrs. Reynolds testimony was to the
effect that she had been annoyed by the
pupils of the school calling her names
and abusing her property, all of which
was sanctioned by the teacher; that she
had made a complaint to the county su,
p~erintendent several times; That Miss
Myers did not act as a teacher should
before her pupils, and had spoken to hel
about turning somersanlts before them
Mrs. Reynolds also alleged that the
teacher told the children what names tC
call her and encouraged them in making
remarks about her appearance. She die
not deny striking the teacher, but claim
che did not hovo ON iron hor
Jon. w. Acton refused to further plead
her course when she refused to plead MOI
vult and she pleaded her own cause TO
half an hour, and had to be stopped by
the Judge, who sententeced her to thre'
months in the County Jail.
