The city council held caucus one
day last week to consider the ques.
fion of engaging in the business OF
furnishing artesian water to the
water peddlers. The city has fine
artesian well At the pump house.
which was put down for the special
purpose Of furnishing pure water
supply for the boilers. There is q
plentiful supply, much more than is
needed at the pump house. and it is
the intention to erect 5000 gallon
tank and furnish a supply to the
water peddlers. The revenue de-
rived from this source would soon
pay for the tank. besides furnishing
pure and plentiful supply Of ar-
tesian water for local consumers.

The editor of the Silver City New
Mexicol Independent pays this pret-
" tribute to the Elks of that city,
and to Elkdom in general;
The Silver City Elks, like their
brethren of other cities. have by act
and deed endeared themselves TO the
people generally, and what effects
the Elks consequently touches the
hearts and arouses the interest of
all. regardless of creed or atfiliat;on.
The beauty of Elkdom has many
sources, not the least of which is
that the duties and pleasures and OBJ
legations of an Elk in no manner in
terfere with either his relations to
his church or to any other order.
The religion of Elkdom is to spread
JOY and sunshine over all who come
within their influence; to give flow
ers to the living and not save them
to cover the grave of the dead: to do
good as secretly as though doing
good were crime; to tighten the
burden Of their fellow men: to re-
lieve suffering everywhere: to write
the faults of their brethren on the
sands and engrave their virtues up
on the tablets Of love and memory.
Their charity and benevolence is
as wide as the earth and broad
enough to include all humanity. and

OF his birth is 1850, and the city Can
ton, Conn, AS a boy he played on
several OF the local teams, but his pro-
fessiOnal career began with the Water
bury CLUB, IN the Connecticut State
League, in 1901. IN the following year
he was transferred 10 Springfield. Mass
where his batting and fielding attracted
the attention OF the major league mag
mates. In the fall of 1892 his release
was secured b. the Athletic manage
ment and during 1903 he was used as
utility OuLhelder. In 1904 he was made
a regular and did splendid work until
July, when he was hit in the eye by a
pitched ball by Jesse Tannehill, OF BoS-
ton. and laid up for the balance Of
that season. In 1895 he had an of
season in batting as the direct result
OF the terrible injury he had sustained.
In 1896 he was released by the Athletic

team he has since been a valued mem
Der, as he gradually got back into his
old form last season.
