islation that will render more secure

have monopolistic influence.

THE STORY CONTEST.

The original story contest given by
the young ladies of the Y. NJ. |. A. at
the tabernacle last Friday night was
by far the best literary and musical
program that has been given by the
church people this year. All of the
stories were spicy and full of origi-
nality. Most of them had been COM
mitted to memory by their writers and
We're delivered in a distinct and clear
tone that could be easily heard by the
large audience. The musical numbers
were exceptionally good: instead Of
the quartet that was to give the last
a duet was sung by Misses
Mary Holiday and Debora Allen which
was pronounced the best number OF
the program.
The contest was won by Marguerite
Schwarz. Lottie Noble and Minnie
Pomeroy by two points. All of the
stories were so good that il was a
hard matter for the judges to make
decision. Miss Schwarz's side was at
a disadvantage on account of the loss

possible today The pump was shut
down yesterday morning for the pur-
pose of installing the new duplicate
pump and while the reservoir was fill
ed to its fullest capacity. it is urged
that those using water be as saving
as possible. Not that the reservoir
will not hold enough to last over the
time that the pump is shut down. but
more as a matter of protection in case
of fire. 1t is expected that the re-
pairs to the plant will be completed
by tonight or possibly this afternoon.
for yesterday all was progressing a.
well as could be expected and good
progress was being made in the work.
When this second pump is installed
and in good working order. Tempe will
have a water system that is not sur
passed. IL equalled. by any other town
in the west. There will then always
he an extra pump available for use
at any time and unless some serious
calamity should occur. there will never

EARLY TOMATOES.

L. " Guthrie, who has been gard
ening on the acre patch just east OF
the Methodist church. has been hav-
ing some early tomatoes from his
garden for several days. Mr.. Guth-
rie had good tomato crop upon the
ground last year but was not quite
satisfied with the time of ripening of
the vegetables so he stated last fall
that he would have his tomatoes to
ripen one month earlier this spring.
This year Mr.. Guthrie very much sur
prised his doubling friends by pro-
ducing ripe tomatoes within one day
of month earlier than the wear be-
fore. He performed the feat by SOW
ing the seed in a cold frame in Janu-
airy ane keeping them well protected;
then when danger of frost had pass
ed set them out.
