New Improvement for Clifton Water
Company.

During the past few years continu-
GUS floods have gradually destroyed
the old wells and pumping plant of
the Clifton Water company and it
has been under many difficulties that
the team was supplied with water.
While the service has not been the
best in existence, still old time resi-
dents of the camp, who were accus-
toned to muddy water, realize the
convenience of the present water
system. The company has been busy
driving new wells Il safe distance
from the river and a new engine
house is being erected. When COM
pleted the new pumping plant will be
operated by 4 60 horsepower gasoline
engine and a lmaller emergency en-
CINE.
When the company was organized
about five years ago. local people
were anxious to buy stock, but so far
it has not been much of d paying
proposition, all profits being utilized
for extensive repair work caused
principally by the heavy floods. The
water main has been rebuilt and laid
on higher ground since the first disas-
trous flood and with the installation
of new engines the company will be
in much better shape. The new i'm
provements will not be completed
much before the first OF the year.

Il visit this week combining business

good fellow and his many friends in
Clifton were glad to see him. He re-
ports that Metcalf continues to i'm
prove and has great faith in its
future. When asked about the situa-
ton IN the mines, he stated that
quite Il few miners had been dis
charged at various camps, but did
not think the list would be large
enough 10 effect the camp to any
great extent. He also mentioned
the tact that he thought the board of
supervisors should pay some atten-
ton to the road situation in the
Metcalf district, as that precinct
was paying considerable money into
the road fund without results.

Choosing a Husband.

The best man does not always wear
the finest coat or the handsomest face.
Girls learn that after a while, but
when they are first beginning to know
men and their ways they are very apt
to be carried away by good looks and
good clothes. 1 do not by any means
intend to insinuate that some OF the
best men in the world have not been
both well dressed and handsome, but
only that very often girls do not look
beyond the surface-good looks ana
good clothes are enough to satisfy
them. If a man is plain of face and
badly dressed, they do not think him
worth cultivating.
You never can tell, girls, what the
development of the gawky, shy youth
may bring. Lincoln was plain, aWk-
ward and badly dressed, and yet the
woman who married him would not
have exchanged him for the most per-
feet Adonis. Take the trouble to ma
out what there is in a man before you
condemn him for his badly fitting
clothes and plain face. Any girl can
work wonders with the man who loves
her.
Supposing you fall in love with a
man who has no regard for the little
niceties of dress. It will worry you,
Of course, for every girl wants to be
proud of the appearance Of her sweet
heart. But don't be unhappy over 1t.
Go to work and bring all your inf1u-
ence to bear in persuading him to
take more pains with his appearance.
You will have to work on his vanity,
but you will win out in the long run.
No girl of sense will keep herself from
loving a man simply because he is plain
Of face. As long as he looks clean and
manly and honest any man is good
looking. If he is not all Of those three,
he can't amount to anything.
Don't waste your time and affection
on a dressed-up dummy. Remember
that it takes more than good looks to
make good husband. What you want
Is a good, honest man, good provider.
If he is also good looking, why all the
better, but that is the least important
Of any quality in husband. Don't
spoil your whole life by placing it
above the other qualities necessary in
the making of a good husband.-Caro-
line, in Chicago American.
