A eood suaaestion

At least nine-tenths Of the stock of
the public service corporations of this
city is owned outside of our city and
State. Robert keenan,, candidate for
the Legislature from the Third district,
favors the passage Of a law taxing
public service corporation stock there
by compelling the nonresident stock
holders to pay back to us some portion
Of the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars they take from us every year
They have our franchises and II they
will not give us good service then we
can make them give us a fair share
of the revenue we pay. 1t is a good
proposition and that alone should
nominate Mr.. Keenan, over his oppon-

PART OF HIS GOOD PLATFORM

Mr.. keenan, who is this afternoon seeking the
support of the voters of the Third Legislative
District Tor the nomination for Representative,
stands for thing that should result in his
nomination. The public service corporations are
largely owned by foreign capital. The only in
terest this capital has in the city of Wilmington
is to milk it of money to create large dividends
a fictitious capital There should be some method
to make these foreign-owned corporations pay
share OF the taxation commensurate with the pro-
rs Trey receive from the city. Those who own
property in Wilmington and live here have TO
pay high rate of taxation Why should the
foreign-owned corporations receive favoritsm at
the expense of the people OF this city? That is
~.c Of the questions to be considered in the vot-
ing to-day.

object the leading of those who have
not started in Christian life to do so.
In both these lines DR.. Mahood's s
work has been greatly blessed. as the
scores of those who have made a re-
consecration and also of others who
have made definite beginning in the
religious life will show.
His sermons are characterized by
their clearness, logic. deep earnest
ness, absence of all sensationalism,
by intense spiritual insight and prac-
tical application
His clear. rich voice seldom rises
above conversational pitch, but it is

DR.. Mahood in his work, is a native
of Iowa, and graduate of Iowa Wes-

girls. He is unsurpassed in this line
of work, and isalso excellent in his
sermonizing.

Revival ServiCeSClOSe
at Methodist Church

The revival services which have
been in progress in the Methodist
church for little more than two
weeks. closed Monday evening in a
farewell service conducted by DR.. Ma
hood.
He did not take text, but said that
If he were going to preach he would
take the text BE thou faithful unto
death and | will give thee a crown
of life"
However. instead of preaching a
sermon he said he wished to have a

At the close of the talk the invita-
ton was again given and a number
accepted 1t and made a start in the
spiritual life.
1t seems appropriate at this time
to write of the characteristics and
who have had these meetings in
charge. meetings so far reaching in
their influence for good. so mighty in
their spiritual results.
DR.. Mahood is a Canadian by birth.
He was educated in Canada and began
his ministry there. He is a man high

He came to the Northwest Iowa Con-
ference on credentials in 1887, serving
as pastor there until 1899. when he
was appointed to this special work:
He has taken a post graduate Bible
course in Chicago University, and was
for some years superintendent of the
Iowa State Epworth League Assembly
and Training School. He spent the
summer of 1905 in the study of the
great revival movement In Wales and

Lain STATEMENT MADE
BY MAYOR 7. B. COULTER
Request Record Mayor Coulter Makes Plain State
ment Regarding Water Proposition

| The same testimony is given by
Albert Phillip. who has resided at
Coaldale for quarter of century.
Mr.. SAKE, Mr.. Armstrong and Mr..
Houston tell me the same thing. all
of whom have been water commits
sioners up there and are thoroughly
familiar with the condition of Cotton
wood Creek at all seasons of the year.
To make an absolute certainty, we
can have our water decree from the
Arkansas river transferred to the
mouth of Cottonwood Creek. When
our system is installed. arrangements
can be made for a river connection If
| 1t is ever needed
Herewith is submitted the estimate
of the engineer:
Pueblo. Colorado. Oct. 1906
Hon. Mayor and City Council.
Canon City, Colorado
Sirs:-
l herewith hand you report and
estimate of cost OF water supply
for your city from what is known as
Cottonwood Creek, a stream that
flows into the Arkansas River about
two and one-half miles above Coto-
paxi.
A careful preliminary survey has
been made OF the proposed pipe line
by your City. Engineer. Mr.. c. r. Nit
ton. the maps and profile os said sur
sey are herewith submitted.
In making my estimate / have as
sumed that 1t would be wise to pro-
vide water supply for a city of
twenty-five thousand Allowing two
hundred t20o) gallons per capita per
diem would make the total quantity
to be delivered PEI day five million
C5, 900. .0o0) gallons. would strongly
recommend the adoption of heters on
all taps: by their use the per capita
consumption would fall materially be-
low two hundred t20oD gallons. A
delivery of five million gallons per
tweniy-four hours is equivalent to
about seven and one-half (7ts) cubic
feet per second.
The estimates are based upon a
gravity line from near the mouth OF
Cottonwood Greek to a point about
six miles above Canon City, and from
thence TO Canon City by a pressure
line. The prices are based upon salt
glazed earthen pipe for the gravity
line and wood for the pressure line:
however in asking for bids l think II
would be advisable to solicit competi-
ton between wood, steel. concrete and
earthenware pipe.
The estimate also includes the item
of a distributing reservoir of capa-
city OF about ten million 10000 .0o0)
gallons TO provide a supply when re-
pairs may be necessary to the pipe
line. The capacity of this reservoir
might be varied in capacity to cores
pond with the surplus after contract
ing for ipe line. but in no case would
1t be advisable to reduce 1t to less
than ten days supply.
Based upon present prices of mater
ials and labor the pipe line, reservoir
and appurtenances can be constructed
for the sum of Three Hundred and
Eighty-seven Thousand Five Hundred
and Thirty-nine Dollars and ninety
cents ts3S7, ,539.so).

In order to be reassured regarding
the Phillips estimate. visited Denver
and obtained prices on material as
specified by Mr.. Phillips, and found
that he had made liberal estimate.
! also obtained an estimate from a
reliable firm OF contractors, who have
installed water systems and are fam
iliar with the conditions existing here,
who assured me that 100000 bond
issue would be amply sufficient TO in
stall the system.
Remember that the bond issue can
not exceed $500, 900. and If the Council
after submitting the plans and speci-
fcations. cannot get bid. supported
by good and sufiifficient bond. for
this amount or less. the proposition
fails
| firmly believe that with the natur-
al growth of the city, the increased
water receipts will cover all expense
OF maintenance and water indebted
ness without further direct taxation.
In order TO show the increase in
our water revenue for the last ten
years the following figures are given;
Cañon City record., 1906-12-06

familiar with our present water
tenn the following statement is
ie:
The reason for the scarcity OF water
many parts OF the city is not due
any fault in our system Of water
ms, but to the capacity Of the
nps. as they are not of sufficient
acity to force water into mains as
as it Is consumed. The time has
ne when, IL we are to depend upon
for our water supply we will be
iged to make quite large expendi-
9 for new pumps and some means
settling basins or filtrations, in
er to supply us with water.
After careful investigation. 1 believe
re are only three possible sources
supply.
Enree years ago l secured Mr.. Allen
Denver tthe chief engineer of the
Bnver Water Co. for fifteen years.
Investigate and suggest the possi-
ties OF the river.
ie came here and spent several
Ia on the work. without any ex-
ise to the city. and reported that a
svity system was practical. by TAX
out the water about mile above
hanging bridge.
)n the strength of that report, the
y Council ordered Mr.. Smythe. the
engineer. TO make the necessary
-vey and estimate. This provided
either a gallery system at the in
ke or settling basins and filtrations
the reservoir. The estimated cost
s about $3.50. 900.
There was a mass meeting called.
d after full discussion the Council
ordered to proceed no farther re-
riding this system
An investigation at the same time
,arding the supply from Grape
eek showed that the cost would be
|lppi the same.
Ihc present Council have taken up
l question of water supply and in
.sugated the above sources of sup
j and minor ones that have been
ggested, but could reach no con-
hsion.
Eop account OF the difference of opin-
|, Of our citizens, then suggested
the Council that they employ an
Sdraulic engineer to come here and
blk over the different possibilities
ID recommend to the Council the
jst available supply.
fThey employed Mr.. Hiram Phillips
81. Louis, an experienced hydraulic
Igineer. to investigate the sources
bm which 1t nigh, be drawn. After
inspection of the country along
|e base OF the Sangre de Christie
|nge from Black Mountain south
|ard to the Wet Mountain valley, Mr..
hillips has decided the only adequate
|urce OF supply is Cottonwood Creek
I'd so reported to the Council.
As result of his recommendation
|e city has purchased all of the
inches and water rights on Cotton
pod Creek, paying therefor the sum
| 33s.75o.
There is no doubt that the volume
water carried by Cottonwood Creek
more than sfficient to meet the re-
lfrements of any community that
lll ever grow up In this locality. /
Id measurements made of the flow
water In the creek on the 21st of
pvember, when 1t was probably as
pail as at any time during the year,
IA found 1t to be thirteen and six
nths cubic feet per second. The
,w very rarely gets below fifteen
lbic feet second.
T. T. whftcher. who has lived In
Q neighborhood of Cottonwood Creek
nee 1876. says there can be no pos
BILE doubt about the sufficiency OF
e supply there to meet the require
ents of Canon City for years to
