PUMPS AT SEWER OUTLET.

The contracts for supplying the
pipe, connections and other equip
ment for the Improvement Of the
water system were awarded last
night, being divided between Cald-
wen Bros, of Seattle, the Cash

The council last night rejected the
lids for the new pumps for the sew
er system and instructed the city en-
gineer to connect the large pumps
Installed under the specifications
supplied by Engineer Miller. 1t is
explained that the larger pumps
will handle the pumping in much
loss, time than the smaller equip
nlent, which would practically equal
lie the cost of the power used. 1t Is
also suggested that in case of flood
waters seeking an outlet through
, the sewer, or desire to relieve base
r nent floods through the sewer, the
! larger pumps are better suited toi

EACH indian
SPECIAL Police
TREATY Law MAKES IT DUTY
OF EACH INDIAN TO SEARCH
FOR LIQUOR ON RESERVATION
AND MAKE ARRESTS.

Every Indian of the Nezperce
tl:be and every employe Of the gov
ernment is authorized to make q
search where they have reason to
believe liquor is on the Nezperce In
dian reservation" said Indian Agent
Lipps, who was a business visitor in
the city last night.
They not only have the authority
to make the search, but the law
lpakes it a duty, and from what
can learn the Indians of many parts
of the reserve propose to execute
this duty
This is the explanation of the ac-
tion of several Indians in the vicini-
F.! ty of Nezperce, who, during the past
few weeks, have searched severa,
freight wagons that they believe6
were loaded with liquor for the res
ervation trade.
Mr.. Lipps states that up to this
time no complaints against the un
lawful introduction of liquors hav'
been reported, and with the eXcep
ton of a few cases where there is
suspicion all of the liquor was no
removed from the reservation whel
the court decision was secured, n
believes the reserve to be free fror
liquor.

 Instructions have also been issued to the members of the police department to see that all beggars found on the streets are sent to headquarters, after which the Mayor will make arrangements to have them sent to. the almshouse to be cared for In other words, objects of charity must stay off the streets.
 With reference to the order to make arrests for failure to keep the sidewalks clean and for throwing filth into the gut ters, it is the object of the officials to keep the city as free from filth as pos sible in order to avoid the spread of dis ease. A general cleaning of the city by the street department is under way the Eighth and Ninth wards having been GOV cred, and it is probable that work in the day

Not even Old Sol was up early enough this morning to see where MT. Dog Catcher inaugurated his work Before daylight he slipped out of his doorway ande whistled. In a few moments Bone sides" a horse which is generally dis liked among the purps. was between the shafts of 3 wagon. none other than the dog wagon, and shortly afterward half dozen pickaninnes, with long sticks with wire lops at the end were on hand.
 It is not known what route was taken nor is it even suspected. so silently and mysteriously did the procession steal away. It is safe to say, however, that "Old Tray" hit a hot trail before sun up. It was even reported last night that five fugitives had taken an early start yesterday afternoon and were seen jour neying up the macadamized road over Red mountain, evidently bound for Rose dale, about o'clock. Others. it is under sood, left Birmingham at midnight. bound for various parts.
 Woe be unto that dog who is so bold as to defy the law. Lest he wear a dog tax on his collar the gas tank stares him in the face. There is but one alternative, and that is to get tagged. City License Collector Boggan has a great bunch of the necessary licenses in his office at the city hall. He charges S1 for q receipt and gives you the dog tax.

 It was decided that battalion school will be held in the armory on the fourth Thursday night of each month. which will be of great benefit to the members of the National Guard, both officers and enlisted men,
 It is probable that all of the com panies will in the future drill on Thursday night making that a regular military night, though each company will drill independently and not in bat talion or regimental formation.
 In the afternoon of Saturday, May 23, the four companies of infantry, the troop of cavalry and the battery of artillery will go into camp on the old camp ground at East Lake and on Sunday will have a barbecue, followed by regimental drill and dress parade.

of Birmingham. It would be very much to be regretted if this issue were lost at the polls through the inactivity of those who see the importance of better sanlta- ton for our city. In view of the rapid growth of our city and the enlargement of our territory 1t is imperative that the present sanitary system be enlarged and additional sewers be constructed to meet the requirements of our enlarged popula- ton and area. The valuable Jefferson county trunk sewers, which were con- structed at great cost a short while ago, cannot be used advantageously by this city unless we build other sewers con- meeting them to our city system on either side. We regard favorable vote on ths question of the greatest importance to our community and essential to our continued growth, health and prosperity. The Board of Trade has indorsed the proposed issue and 1t Is incumbent on every member of the committee to do everything he can to see that the issue carries.
 As chairman of the committee I hope you will give your time and attention to this matter. Yours truly.

BIG RAID MADE.
Sixteen Negro Gamesters Rounded Up
 in Hardwood.

Deputy Sheriffs Parker and McCombs almost depopulated Hardwood yester- day afternoon when they swooped down upon a tent in that place and ar rested 16 negroes for gaming. There were r negroes in the tent at the time. but so well did the two officers plan the coup that but one of the gamesters got away.
 The negroes were brought to Bir- mingham and lodged in the county jail with charge of Sunday gaming docketed against them. One of the negroes Lam Erwin. also had a charge made against him for carrying a con- cealed pistol.
 Several generations were represented in the aggregation roped in by the two deputies. the ages ranging from the teens to one old uncle, age 62 years. Games of chance, via both the card and dice route. were in full bloom wh en officers Parker and McCombs made their entrance. Confusion relgned for moment. but the negroes submitted quietly when they saw the two depu- ties had it on them.
