PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
Waterbury Troubles Seem to Gene Heavier
 Than Those of 0ther Towns.

| There appears to be q great deal
 more trouble in Waterbury over the
 matter of public improvements than Ill any other town in the state, some say
 more than ill the whole state put to- | gether Just why this should he so I does not appear. but those who have ' given the question the consideration 1t
 requires think it is due mainly to the
 outrageousIy unfair system of taxa I ton under which we are working. which bbliges some to pay for every. ! thing they receive. while others gei many considerations for which they
 pay only in part and in some instances ! nothing at all.
 For example take the water ques- i ton. The full taxation district meets all the cost of construction and main- [ tenance and yet the water rates ar" 1 the same in both districts. One dis 1 trict buys the pipe. raises the money
 10 do the work. maintains the system and comes down with the dust for what water it uses exactly tile same
 as the district that does not pay q
 copper towards this outlay. Is this fair: Why should if be allowed to .o on then without steps being taken fo
 bring about change so that every
 man and every district shall pay in proportion to what he and it receives: : There arc sections of Waterbury that
 are not yet ripe for all public improve mcnts. still some Of these same places are paying full taxes. while otheis that are paying little or nothing have become thickIy populated and realty

road Companies.
 Vancouver. Wash. Feb 13--From information received from d reliable source. it appears that the United States government is taking hand in the contention between rival rail road companies over the right of way down the north bank of the Columbia river. The secretary of the interior has directed the register and receiver of the Vancouver land office to call on the Columbia Valley Railroad Co to show cause why its rights of way oyer public land should not be forfeited for failure to construct road within the time limited by law In 1889 the Columbia Valley Co filed papers uil- der an act of congress of March g. 1875. which gave it a right of WAY over all the lands then a part of the public domain. The law provides, however, tbht any company claiming benefit under this act must construct s, railroad line within five yeears. The instructions of the secretary are that unless proof of construction is made that suit be instituted in the name of the United States to enforce a for feiture.

Judge Shumway resumed business in the superior court to-day at noon, taking np the continued contested di- rOire suit of Nellie E. against Adel- bert s. Clark. Mrs Clark lives iil Straitsyille and Mfr Clark in Prospect. The defendant has no particular ob- Jection to his wife being granted divorce as they lived only nine months together, but he does contest her claim for maintenance. There has been evil dence given to the effect that his father left all estate of $6,000.

the annual fruit festival Although
the time was short, yet SO cnerget-
ically did they work TINT when all
gathered at the Opera House each
was heard to :"What a magnifi-
cent display of fruit"
Three large tables extending
from side to side of the building
fairly groaned under their burden
Peaches, pears, apples, melons,
grapes and bananas smiled on
every one Not only were these
fruits pleasingly arranged, but the
entire building seems to have been
renovated and made delightful for
the occasion All praise to the
committee for their untiring ef-
forts
The purpose of this gathering
was most admirably accomplished.
The trustees, teachers, students
and all, appeared as one in the la
bors; in fact so united and detern-
ined were they that every obstacle
placed before them vanished as q
common foe. May this union and
determination characterize their
every effort during the coming
school year.
An excellent program was fur
nished by the students, aided by
Prof. Stewart and DR.. Holloway.
DR. BrimhaIl spoke encouraging
