HOW BROWNWOOD
GOT SEWERAGE
COUNTY MADE FIRST MOVE
TO AID IN CONSTRUCTING

Public Spirited Citizens Fell Into
Line, Paying for Construction.
Taking City's Notes for Money
Spent-At Small Cost Now
Have Fine System.

The following extracts from q
letter which the Corpus Christi
Caller received from the former
city attorney OF Brentwood, Tex
as, contains some suggestions
which may help the city council OF
Brownsville to solve the problem
of building a sewer system for
this city, which everyone realizes
is now the greatest need of the
town:
About the year 1900 the city of
Brentwood. Of which l had the
honor to be City Attorney at that
time, put In a sewerage system at a
cost of about five thousand dollars.
1t was then an overgrown town,
more than a year behind with its
general operating expenses, with
its tax levy at the maximum limit
and its waterworks not much more
than paying expenses. Like your
city it has not yet attained ten
thousand so that it can obtain a
special charter.
"The county fortunately was
also in Dilemma at that time and
found the matter of keeping the
vicinity of her jail and court house
in a sanitary condition, perplex-
ing problem. So the county Of
fered to give the city two thous-
and dollars towards iraugurating
the system and to pay it literally
for the use Of water for flushing
out and other purposes around its
institutions. This was a starter but
the city did not have dollar and
no credit. 1t was not In position
to issue a bond. This tender, how
ever, looked good to the council
and they went over the PROPOSE
lion carefully and finally put it
up to me as legal advisor to sug-
gest some possible method of ex-
.racting red corpuseles from the
1roverbial turnip. l suggested

itizens to cash them and with the
ounty's donation build the plant.
his was done. Many extensions
ave been made since in the fol-
owing way: Citizens living on
ertain street would extend a line

CUT OUT THE SIDEsHoWs.
Circus Season I'm New York Opens
Minus the Freak Exhibitions.

New York, Mar. 19.-Although the
usual crop Of harbingers OF spring has
been sprouting occasioally for sever
al weeks in New York, the only real,
genuine, unfailing harbinger will
have it's inception today with the
opening exhibition of "the greatest
show on earth" at Madison Square
Garden. After the customary stay in
the Garden, the great amusement ag-
gregation will leave on a road tour
that will include nearly every big city
in the country
one of the most startling changes
is the abolition OF the freak exhibL
tlon or "side show"
There are many reasons for this
innovation, the management announ-
ces. one is the impossibility of Sc
curing anything new. novel or start
fling in the freak line. Another is the
waning interest that the crowds have
exhibited in the curio hall during the
past two seasons. A third and very
important reason, is the large number
OF letters that have been received by
the circus men criticising the display
of human abnormalities' as part Of
the big show, and expressing the wish
that something more elevating might
be submitted for the annual exploita-
tion of museum freaks.
Naturally, there is a great deal Of
excitement in the local freak colony
and the Benevolent Order of Freaks
has entered a formal protest

Many Trees for Maple Day

There are pessimists everywhere
they are in Baker city. When Prof
Churchill conceived the idea OF Ma
pie Day In Baker and give out the
possibility that with the 800 trees the
schoolboard would take the children
could secure orders for 700 more, so
that there might be planted 1000
trees, he was confronted with the
pesimlsts: mo, 1t can't be done,"
says the Baker City Democrat.
Never daunted. however, the pro-
fessor continued his project and has
to report for the benefit of these
same pesslmists, that he has orders
now for 1862 trees, including the 800
that the board ordered, so that the
children have turned in orders for
1862 trees, and there are other orders
for trees Of different varieties than
those ordered by the board that will
bring the number up to 1900 trees.
Maple day will be an event in Baker
that will be a "glory day" for the
promoters. Professor Churchill will
always have reason to be very proud
Of the achievement he has accom-
pllshed and the citizens of Baker will
have reason to thank him.

Did Battle With a Coyote.

Mrs. T. A. Caldwell, who lives on
the M. Wingfield ranch mead Adel,
performed one OF the most daring
feats Tuesday morning Of this week,
that 1t has been our experience to
chronicle in this country, says the
Lakeview Examiner. Shortly after
her husband had left the house for
his days work on that morning, a
coyote came to the chicken yard and
made a raid on the chickens
Mrs. Caldwell went to chase the
coyote away, not believing that a
coyote would tackle person. But
she was surrised when the thing took
after her. She started to run, trip
ped and fell prone on the ground. The
coyote Jumped on top Of her and sank
his teeth in her breast. She grab
bed Mr.. Coyote by the throat and
with a death grip choked It to death.
The coyotes teeth were fastened in
her clothing and she succeeded in
overpowering him and never loosened
her grip until her desperate victim
was dead-and dead to stay. The
coyote was skinned and Mrs. Cald-
well will undoubtedly keep the hide
as a souvenir Of the most blood-cur-
ding experience of her life.

wreck four miles north Of Almota to-
day, when the engine climber over
the rail and turned turtle over a
steep embankment, says a Lewiston
item.
Ramsey was brought to Lewiston
on a river steamer and placed in the
hospital for treatment. His leg and
arm are broken and he is injured in
ternally. No reason is given for the
derailment of the engine, as the track
was measured, after the wreck, and
found to be standard gauge. 1t is
thought that a flange on the engine
climbed over the rail on account of
the settling of the cribbing because
Of high water.
Ramsey was partly buried under
the cab and 1t was feared that he was
killed, but he recovered consciousness
when unpinioned. The engineer
jumped and rolled into Snake river,
but scrambled out unharmed.

schooI bow Awarded $4,000.

Following a fire at the Bradley En-
CINE and Machine company's plant on
College avenue In 1906, a number OF
boys from the Field school found a
dynamite fuse that had been thrown
out. Charles Akin, II years old, who
knew that the fuses had to be fired
by battery, secured one, and with
several companions set one off. 1t
relieved him of his thumb and fore
finger on his right hand and injured
the second finger so that it remains
crooked says the Spokesman Review.
Akin, through his guardian, sued
the Bradley company, but the case
was nonsuited. The supreme court
sent it back for trial, and yesterday
a jury in Judge Miles Poindexter's
division of thesuperior court gave the
boy verdict for s25OO for the loss
of his fingers. The defense will APP

A large number of logs have al
ready reached the Perry reservoir
from the drive which starts at Hill
gard. The crew went to work yes
terday and will be kept at work for
three or four days, or until the last
of the drive proper, and the stray
logs have been ushered into Perry.
The crew is working at Hilgard,
breaking the logs loose, and once
loose 1t does not take the timber long
to reach its destination. With the
high water to carry them down the
step grade which the river takes be-
tween the two towns, the speed which
the logs assume is sometimes terrific.
