GOVERNOR TO COUNCIL
IN REGARD TO WATER
State Desires to Secure Flow
Pending Decision on Case
i'm Court.

Gov. John G. Cutler, as chairman of
the State Board Of Corrections. has ad-
dressed communication to tho city
council relative 10 contract for supply
ing the state prison with water. The
communication viii como mp for con.
sidcration at Monday night 5 session Of
the council.
The communication recites that in
July Of 1897 the city entered into Il
contract with George NJ. Dow, as war
den Of the prison, to furnish the IN
stitution with water for 500 n year
In consequence the prison tapped Far
lcys canyon conduit for water for culin-
airy and other prison purposes. but
afterward the city terminated this con
tract This left the State Board of Cor
rcctions without funds 10 provide water
for the prison until the last DegIsia-
ture made an appropriation for this pur-
pose.
The city Mt this time is engaged in
litigation that involves tho prison 5
right to take water from Parleys creek,
the communication says. and the Board
of Corrections is unwilling to undertake
TO eXpepd the appropriation until TINS
case is settled. rs it will depend IN great
measure upon the decree Of the court
as to what means Will be taken to
procure water for the prison. There
fore the board is willing TO make an
equitable settlement with the city for
the water used pending the determina
tion Of the litigation. and is desirous Of
entering into i contract along such
lines as will amply protect the municl-
pality upon the basis of a settlement for
the water that may be used by the
prison pending termination of the suit.
If the city cuts the prison S supply of
water now the institution Will be en-
tirely without means to acquire water.
as the system In vogue before taking
water from the conduit was destroyed
when the prison began to use water

The True Mechanic.

After n man has worked In shops
for ten or fifteen years there is n great
desire for Il change. Some want to go
out on Il farm, others think that the
invention of something that can be
patented will solve the problem. while
others want to own and run n shop
themselves. The latter is really the
true mechanic. but not necessarily the
man who will get out the most or even
the best work while working for a
boss, says Charles Henry in the Work
ers' Magazine. On the contrary, he
will often be considered the lazy man
by the foreman when the work is OF
IN ever recurring character. Let, how
ever, some difficulty arise in connec-
ton with n job or have some hard
proposition tn meet and he will always
have a suggestion to offer that Will
help to solve the problem, while the
ordinary man and the hustler Will
stand around helpless and often dis
Interested. He will have the elcmen-
tary laws of mechanics and physics at
his finger tips, will know enough OF
electricity to allow him to discourse
upon the subject in an intelligent man
acr, and he will he well posted upon
the mechanical progress OF the day.

resented in the delegation of 500 or
more public school teachers who are
10 DC sen to Europe next fall to study
the methods of teaching abroad.
The state that has the smallest per-

more than the regulation snare of mem

There are signs of weakening, however, in the steel market, and there is no doubt but that moderate concessions would be helpful.
