HAS THE CITY THE WATER?

The most important move In the City
Council for some time was the intro
duction on Monday evening, by Coun-
Gilman Ferry, of a resolution TO deter
mine the rights Of the city In the water
Of Big Cottonwood stream. 1t has been
claimed persistently by the Morrisitcs
that the citJ has the right TO take the
water for the conduit, from the main
stream at the intake; and that there
would be no trouble about this. for.
though II is true thet the city's right
begins much farther down the stream,
there would be no objection to the TAX
ing OF the water out farther up.
on the other hand, as The Tribune
showed last fall, there are several
farmers whose irrigation bitches are
taken out below the conduit and above
the city's right; and there is no evil
denco that these farmers would con-
ceda any such privilege TO the city as
the MorrisItes claim would be con-
ceded On the contrary, as we at the
time made clear from the statements
of the farmers interested. they
were not disposed to concede
anything, but would stand on their
rights OF prior appropriation. denying
permission 10 any one to tap the
stream above their ditcEes.
The Morris administration let the
conduit contract without having any
thing TO show that it could of right tap
the stream at the conduit make. The
Tribune protested against this. holding
that the water right should first be Sc
cured before letting the conduit con-
tract. when there might not be any
water to turn into the conduit when II
was completed, II 1T was found that
the water could not be taken out above,
then, of course, the conduit should
have been built lower down. That
would have taken time. however, and
the gang" were in a hurry to get on
with something, to show that they were
doing actual work, this for campaign
purposes, and the contract was let.
without anything to show that the city
can turn water into 1t when it is COM
oleted
This resolution of Mr. Ferry's is,
therefore, OF the very highest impor-
tance 1t Will determine the citys
rights in the premises, a determination
that in all conscience ought TO have
been made before the conduit contract
was let. 1t Is not pretended by any
one that there is anything TO show this,
OF record In the city. The spokesman
OF the old ineflciency and bad faith did
not claim in his impulsive suggestion
TO have the matter referred to the law
department, that there Is any such
record. Mr.. Ferry expressly stated
that the resolution was introduced at
the request OF the law department
which has been unable to discover
that we have any rights up there" II
Is probable, as suggested that Mr..
Richards, OF counsel In the water ne-
gotiations, may have valuable informa-
ton I'm this connection, In which case
ne will be an important reliance when
the investigation called for by Coun-
Gilman Ferry's resolution is made.

CLOTHES AND CONDUCT.

London Chronicle.
Every man and every woman feels
the influence Of clothes and appearance
upon conduct. You have heard of the
lonely man in the Australian bush who
always put on evening dress for din
ner so that he might remember he was
n gentleman. Addison could Tot write
his best unless he was well dressed.
Put a naughty girl into her best Sun
day clothes and she viii behave quite
nicely. Put a blackguard into khaki
and he will be hero. Put an omnibus
conductor into uniform and he Will live
