Few people think that this much
water is being used in a city of g.
900 people but such is the case.
Last year the maximum daily sup
ply of water for the city was 2.225,-
600 gallons. The average daily suppIy
was 100000.
This year, at this time. the city is
using on an average of 1000, 900 gal
Ions every day and Water Supt. We'd
der believes that during the hot
months of July and August the daily
amount will reach the 100000
gallon mark.
With the present facilities 3,OOO.-
600 gallons per day is the capacity
OF the city water plant.
The many new lawns. the extern
siye parking work, and the great in
crease in the population of the city.
Mr.. Nedder states is responsible for
the increased demand for city water.
The work of pumping at the city
water plant never ceases these davs.
Supt- Nedder has three shifts of eight
hours each and the pump is kept in
constant operation.
Few people realize what amount of
work is required in properly conduct
ing the water plant and what numer.
GUS precautions are taken by Mr.. We'd
der to furnish the city with the best
quality of water possible.

in constant operation is cleaned out

And The PreSideScy

been easily the most influential man
of his day in either party. He has
been far in advance of public opinion
always, and to his influence. more
than any other factor is due the public
opinion which has made it possible
for Roosevelt to secure legislation
embodying Bryan's ideas as to rate
regulation and the control of piratical
corporations policy for which
Bryan was derided when he first an
nounced it, which solidified opposi-
tion and campaign contributions
from corporations in behalf of the
Republican party. And it is one of
the freaks of politics that the Repub-
licans who opposed Bryan most bit
terly for what they called his social
istic notions are now clamoring and
proclaiming loudly their part in car
rying out the very program he first
outlined.
Unless Mr.. Bryan's character has
been misjudged by his admirers, he
would rather remain in private life
as an Influential citizen than win the
presidency by any sacrifice of per-
sonal conviction; and it is certain in
advance that he will refuse to in
trude his own candidacy on the next
national convention If he finds the
party unwilling to follow as far as he
would lead. In that event, he would
still determine who should have the
nomination, since he is the strongest
leader the party has today.
In a way, Bryan is as potent in the
party as Jefferson was after his re-
tirement from the presidency, and
the power he has is welded for good
quite as unselfishly. Few men have
ever held more enviable position
in the nation; and it may be ques-
toned whether Mr.. Bryan has much
to gain by seeking or accepting the
nomination if it is offered to him.

1t has been understood for a long
while that Mr.. Bryan would be a
candidate If the conditions of nomi-
nation and support were satisfactory,
but it is also known that the condi-
tions cannot be fully outlined until
the issues of the next campaign are
more fully made up. At no time has
Mr. Bryan said he desired the nomi-
nation unqualifiedly; on the contrary,
his public utterances have indicated
determination to remain unem-
harrased by his ambition for Che
presidency. No man anxious for a
great office and willing to sacrifice
conviction to eXpediency would be so
frankly outspoken as is Mr.. Bryan,
so Indifferent to the effect of his
views en- his personal fortunes. In
this regard he has been unique among
politicians, and to this trait of his
character he owes in large part his
failure as a candidate as well as his
hold on the confidence of the people.
Looking over the list of men who
have achieved the presidency, one
does not recall any man since Lin
coins day who has had so little of

IN THE WILSON MESA COUNTRY
Genuine Mining Boom Probable
Gravel Rich in Cold
Many Acres.

The are many Grand Junction peo-
pie Interested directly in mining
claims in the Wilson Mesa district.
What bid fair to become a genu-
inc mining boom has been getting un-
der way on Wilson Mesa for the past
few days. says the last issue of the
Grand Valley. Moab. (Utah) Times.
For years the mining men of this reg
ion have recognized the richness of
the placer and float of Wilson Mesa,
but until recently no one had had an
idea of the imemnsity of the depos-
its Now it is shown that there is
section of country four miles square
at the foot of the LaSals, about Is
miles distant from Moab, which here
tofore has been considered valuable
only for raising the best potatoes and
grain in the county, but which now
turns out to be literally teeming with
gold.
Here may be found hundreds and
hundreds of acres of placer that will
run from $500 to $50 in gold and
one may travel from one end of the
section to the other without finding
dirt that fails to pan good colors. |
Where bedrock is reached the gold is /
unusually coarse and flake gold a |
quarter of an inch in diameter may be |
found in abundance, while many flax
es as large as 25 cent pieces are dis
covered.
Up to the present time there has
been practically no work done on any
of the claims, the property of JOS
eph Webb and Emil Bosen being in
fact the only claims worked at all.
Messrs. Webb and Boren, with sluice
box eight inches wide and four inches
deep have been cleaning up an aver
age of an ounce of gold a day for the
last two weeks and for several days
they have been beating the record.
The Day brothers have 100 acres of
placer ground that is said to be as
rich and possibly richer than the
property being worked by Webb and
Boren. They are making sluice box
es and betting ready to work their
]. f. Hall has forty acres of plac-
er. on which he says he can find
plenty of dirt that will run 200 col
ors to the pan.
The Wilson Mesa Placer company !
which secured the water of Mill creek
for placer purposes from the Moab
company late last year and
who installed their machinery just in
time to be shut off by the cold wea-
ther before any amount of work
could be done, have been waiting for '
warm weather before again commenc- {
ing operations, and are expected to I
have a number of men on the Mesa |
within the next week or so to start up t
the work. [

every third day and this is a task of
no little proportions.
Every Saturday during such wea-
ther as this the giant skinner is
cleaned out and many will be sur
prised to know that not less than
seven cubic yards of mud is removed
from this skinner every week. This
shows that great amount of impur-
tiles and dirt are taken from the
water before it reaches the citizens
even if it is pretty cloudy many days
when it rugs from the hydrants.
The muddy water during the high
water period is much harder to hand
lie and much more expensive in the
handling than the clear water of the
winter. For instance" Supt. We'd
der said. twenty-five dollars worth
of packing will run us for five months
in the winter when the water is clear
but when the water is muddy as it is
now we use about 5000 worth of
packing every day"
Continuing Superintendent Ved-
der said: 1--WE labor at a great dis
advantage of running the plant during
the summer time. In the winter time
with clear water and the river low we
get our plant in fine condition, then
comes the spring and with it the high
rivers and muddy waters, our packing
is cut all to pieces and our plant put
in bad condition by the time that the
hot months when the demand for
water is greatest, come upon us. AS
a result just at the time that we need
our plant in the best condition and
prepared to handle the greatest
amount of water why We are pretty
badly knocked out. 1 wish the high
and tha mud pnu1d pnrOa In q
fall at the end of the heavy strain on
the plant, instead of in the spring just
prior to the heavy demands for
water"
Superintendent Vedder has the
plant in the best possible condition
and believes that he will be able to
meet the water supply demands this
summer without any inconvenience
to the people.

WENT HOME FOR WARRIOR.
Dog Evidently Had Reasoned Out the
 Situation.

c. B. Shockley, who lives across the river, was recently blowing in some new ground near the edge of the river hills, says an Oklahoma correspondent of the Kansas City Journal. He was accompanied by a half-grown shepherd dog The dog in hunting went over a small hill and soon came kiting back with coyote close to his heels. See ing the man the coyote ran back and the dog plucked courage to follow Out of sight of his master he weak ened and came back over the hill with the coyote after him. This was re- peated several times, to the amuse- ment of MT Shockley, who offered neither counsel nor assistance, mean ing to see how the dog would figure it out. He had not long to wait, The dog sat down and seemed to think over the situation, and then started for the house on keen run. He was back in very short time, accompanied by a big dog whose reputation as coyote fighter was established. The young dog led the old one over the hill and soon the coyote had disappeared.

"BLEST BE THE TIE"
How the Familiar Old Hymn Came tc
 Be Written.

Not one in a thousand of those who sing that good old hymn ''B st be the tie that binds" knows the history of its homely origin. According to the Church Eclectic, 1t was written by the Rev. John Fawcett, who in the latter part of the eighteenth century was the pastor of a poor little church in Lockshire, England. His family and responsibilities were large, his salary was less than four dollars week In 1772 he felt himself obliged to accept a call to London church. His farewell sermon had been preach ed, six wagons loaded with furniture and books stood by the door. His congregation, men, women and chill ren were in an agony of tears. MT. Fawcett and his wife sat down on packing case and cried with the oth- CTS. Looking up, Mrs. Fawcett said: "Oh, John, John, 1 cannot bear this! know not where to go," Nor 1 eith- er," said he; nor will we go. Unload the wagons and put everything back in it's old place." His letter of accep- tance to the London church was re- called and he wrote this hymn>to com memorate the episode

Now the Chances Are He Will Carry

Niae-year-old Paddy Monacco says that the next time he plays hat on the back with the gang he isn't going to have his rear pants pocket full of matches, says the New York un. They play the game strenuously in a lot on Twenty-seventh street, near Tenth avenue. The game had pro- gressed to the grab the hat and slap stage yesterday, and Paddy stood dou- bled mp with his head pointed east ward and the other end of him direct ed toward the setting sun. Tommy Glynn in leaping over Paddy gave him a vigorous wallop. In a twinkling the west end of Paddy spouted smoke and he let a howl out of him that could he heard for blocks. The other kids beat the flames out as best they could and saved at lesst the front part of Paddy's brooches. Tommy Glynn and Billy Rooney were more or less badly burned about the hands, and Paddy was more severely burned elsewhere. An ambulance was summoned from Roosevelt hospital and the surgeons fixed up the Glynn and Rooney boys and took Paddy to the hospital for more thorough treatment Later Paddy was sent to his home at 545 West Twentyseventh street and ate his SUD- per off the mantlepiece.
