GARFIELD IS A VERY DRY TOWN
Water Systems Pumps Disabled and
Conditions Are Most Distressing
Mayor and Citizens at Work.

GARFIELD, Dec. 27.-For nearly 10
years the town of Garfield has been
known far and wide as dry town.
but the people of this city never real
lied just what that meant until SAT-
urday. Several days ago the machlh-
cry that pumps the water into the re-
servOir south of town, whence 1t 10
piped to all parts of the city, broke
down. The matter was kept very quiet
and the mayor. the city council, the po-
lice Judge. and the city marshal nave
all been working night and day u se'
the machinery in running order before
the big reservoir ran dry. But 'no
work so far has been in vain, and slhce
SATURDAY. noon there has been no water
in Garfield other than what couIu NC
secured from Silver creek and the le"
scattering wells around town.
1t is now learned that the machinery
must be shipped either to Portidilu VI
Spokane before water can be obtalheu'
unless the Moscow Electric Lignt
Power company can come to the resouo
and attach to the pumps. Ihey nav
promised to do this, but so far h"'0
not. If the machinery is shipped away
for repairs it will be at least III DAYS
before il can be returned and lnstaii-

WANTS HALF OF ESTATE,
Actress Carrie Swain After Some of
GARDENERS Wealth..

BOSTON, Dec. PA cablegram
from Paris says that a new phase Of a
sensational will case will appear in
court as soon as Actress Carrie Swain,
formerly widely known on the west
ern circuit seeks to establish her claim
that she has been greatly wronged in
the distribution of the Gardiner es-
tate. She has just secured possession
of letters which her counsel, Budding
ton & Bartlett, are confident will es-
tablish her claim to half the fortune of
Frank Gardiner, the theatrical man.

alteration which had been made in the
specifications and moved that they be
changed back to 1-4-7 base. Bridges
seconded the motion.
Bridges called attention to the fact
that at the time the pavement was
first discussed Engineer Wilson had
favored a 1-4-7 base He himself had
not been in favor of asphalt at first
but since he had seen how it worked
he had changed his mind. He had
looked at pavements in other cities
and believed this was the best pave
ment in the United States. 1t was good
enough to stand the heavy truckage.

MUTTON FOR INDIANS.
Sheepmen Win Signal Victory With
the Government.

The National Woolgrowers' associa-
ton, through the direct efforts of Sen
ator f f. Warren of Wyoming, has
won another victory for the sheep in
dustry and result in the future, all
Indians who are still wards Of Uncle
Sam will be provided with button,
says the Cheyenne Tribune.
Three years ago resolution was
passed by the National WoOdgrOwers'
association that the Indians be pro-
vided with mutton as well as beef. but
no action was taken in the matter I'M
til short time ago, when Secretary
G. s. Walker took the matter up with
Senator Warren, who is president of
the association.
Senator uarren brought the cues
ton to the attention of the Indian bu-
reau with the result that Commission
er F. +. Leupp has announced hat in
the future all contracts for supplying
Indians with provisions will include
mutton. This means a material in
crease in the demand for this western
product.
novel question arose during the
negotiation, it being urged by those
opposing the matter that Indians
would not use mutton and in order to
answer the argument Secretary Walk
er cited an incident which occurred in
Wyoming recently when Indians ap
propriated and devoured large num-

Seven Ages of the Nose.

TIME nose has seven ages. First,
It leads it's owner straight
Il Where pies and cookies, good
and hot,
Lie fragrant on the plate.
Then, second age. it loves a smell
Perhaps of all the best
The sawdust of the circus ring
Beats Araby the Blest.
Third age, it shifts with great delight
From night till dewy morn
Tee perfume of a faded rose
A certain girl has worn.
Next age, it goes into the wars
Where falls the battle stroke,
And in it's nostrils linger long
The powder and the smoke.
Fifth age. its happy hours are spent
In speeding past the scene.
While floats on the surrounding air
The scent Of gasoline.
A JOY vouchsafed to few,
The faint aroma breathing forth
From bank notes crisp and new.
Then seventh age, when crowding
years
All other aims debar,
In blissful and uptilted ease.
1t shifts a good cigar.

that is all nonsense" said Kirkman.
! 1.-The pavement will not be laid until
spring anyway"
Tausick wanted to know who it was
that was so anxious to have the street
paved. Glasford answered it was the
people outside Of the city to whom
they had pledged themselves.
The mayor thought it would be a
fine plan to put all the little jags of
paving in together so that they could
be bid for at once.
Can't Swallow Reese's Play.
Bridges was quick to agree with the
mayor and remarked:
There seems to be a disposition on
the part of some to bring in little
streets one at a time so that they can
not be bid for in a bunch. I hate to
say it but I know who made the
play. I am inside the play. I know Mr..
Reese and 1 know his tactics. I could
swallow them for a while but they
won't go any further. We have got to
give the people justice. What is the
| real object of changing these speci-
fications. 1t has been the same OBJ
ject for three years."
Glasford could hardly control him
self as he arose to reply.

Mr. Reese is not running this coun-
Gill;" were the opening words of Glas-
ford's reply. 81 defy the council to
show that Mr.. Reese or any other man
is running me or has one iota of in
f1uence over me. The other gentlemen
insinuated that 1 have something back
of me. I do not like to say it but it
is just as probable that they have
something else back of them.
81 have been in Walla Walla "A years
and I defy anybody to show where
anyone had ever influenced me or
where I have had any secret from the
public. I never received an iota of
influence from anyone. I have moth
ing to hide from the council"
Bridges returned to the attack with
an abundant supply of pertinent re-
marks.
He told how Reese was the maddest
fications on Rose street had been set
at 1-4-7 and how he had threatened
not to bid on it and how the next af-
ternoon at a meeting at which he
had not been present they were
changed to 1876.
"They were changed to suit Mr..
Reese" shouted Bridges.
Reese Was Real Angry.
Tausick said that he was reluctant
meeting when the base had been
changed to 1-4-7 at the request Of
property owners; how Reese was not
in the city but returned the next day
and was very mad; how the specifi-
cations had been changed back to l.
3-5 at the afternoon meeting and how
Reese had tainted him over the eX-
celent training of his bithulithic
squad
Mayor Kellough thought it no more
than fair to property owners to call
for bids on the two bases.
Kirkman thought GlaSfOrd had no
possible excuse for casting insinua-
tons at any man who favored a pro-
position to increase the scope of the
specifications. He was willing to have
