If loyalty to party counts for anything
he deserved it. Tom has never scratch

Colon Water Supply.
It was not practicable, with the force at
the commissions disposal and in view of
the need that the force should be used in
the larger town of Panama, to begin this
work before early last winter. Water
mains were then laid in the town and
water was furnished to the people early in
March from a temporary reservoir This
reservoir proved to be of insufficient capac-
ity before the end of the dry season ana
the shortage was made up by hauling water
over the Panama railroad. so that there
was at all times ample supply of the
very best water Since that time the new
reservoir back of Mount Hope has been
practically completed. 1 visited this reser-
voir. 1t is a lake over mile long ana

will develop in this city hearty senti-
uient OF cooperation with Ogden In
giving an ovation to the annual meet
ing OF the United Commercial Travel
ers. The day of stress there will be
tomorrow. when the great parade is to
be held, and when the enthusiasm OF
the occasion is to break loose.
We trust that the representatives
from this city tomorrow will be worthy
OF the position of Salt Lake as the
chief metropolis of the State. that
there may DC a very large delegation
to go. for the mutual advantage and
pleasure of both cities and that those
who go will see that none shout louder
than they.

neighborly should 1t be welcomed and
put to mutual use. 10 the high advan-
tage of both cities. and to the cultIva-
ton OF close and helpful relations be-
tween one and the other.
Every Salt Laker who can should go
