Phoebe Weekly RECORD.

Phoebe Weekly RECORD.
Gentlemen:
There has recently beea a
great deal Of talk and agitation
about the sanitary condition Of
the water supply of this city.
Although this company is not
directly responsible for the con-
dition Of the water, it has al
ways watched it closely. / have
given it my personal attention
since January first of this year.
At no time have | seen any
chance for contamination.
However, that all may be
satisfied, / requested Drs. Stock
ham and Campbell to take sew
eral samples of the water, at
any time and place they saw fit,
and send them to any reliable
analytical chemist. The doctors
took several samples and sent
them to DR.. Herman Harms, the
state chemist Of Utah. The re-
suits of the analysis are enclos-
ed, and | respectively request
that at least the summary of the
general remarks, be published in
your next issue. 1t will assure
the people that there is nothing
to fear from the water. No one
connected with the company had
anything to do with the samples,
the taking of them or the choos-
ing of the analyst.
The first of the four samples
of the water Drs. Campbell and
Stockham took from the upper
tank; the second, from the lower
tank; the third, from the tap in
Jas. A. Nesbitt's saloon; and the
fourth from the overflow tank at
the old smelter below the city,
from which the water is drawn
that supplies Jack Rabbit.
This company feels that it has
done all that it can to reassure
the public as far as the water is
concerned, but would request
that the sanitary conditions,
other than the water supply, be
at least investigated, Anyone
can assure himself of the quality
of the water by taking a true
sample and sending it to a true
analyst. The results Of our in
vestigation are at their disposal
if you wish to publish them.
On the other hand, ID needs
nothing more than persons five
senses to prove that the sewage
running down the street along
upper Main and passing your
office, and the garbage piles in
the lots to the rear of Main street
are not conducive to the public
health. 1t seems rather useless
to erect new new tanks to rene
dy an imaginary evil while such
a real one exists.
Yours very truly,

Gossip Involves Names Of Several
Prominent Men for HOmina-
llOnS This Fall.
ON BOTH SIDES OF FENCE

Political gossip is now all the go
and there is much comment as to
who the candidates for mayor will
be.
Many think that Mayor Bollsch-
weller will be the democratic choice
again this fall, but Mr.. Bollschweiler
refuses to make any statement.
Just who the republican nominee
for the Office will be, is an uncertain
ty, although there Is sentiment in
favor of G. c. Baldwin, If he can be
persuaded to run. There was con-
siderable talk that Albert Leon
might be a candidate, but Mr.. Leon,
when questioned, said that he would
not accept the nomination If 1t was
offered to him. Il would of course
appreciate the honor" said Mr.. Leon,
but would not accept any public
Office as my business needs my at
tention."
1t is also rumored that an attempt
was made recently to have John J.

lican nomination, but Mr.. Deitche re-

is NOT STRONG ENOUGH
Two Tracks for Trolley Cars Are
Declared to Weaken Ii-At-
ieCied by Heat.

The Woodbridge Creek bridge
went out of commission again yester-
day, this time a broken cog wheel
being the cause. Adam Eckert, of
the Arm of Schantz & Eckert, spent
several hours there yesterday after
noon with three workmen, and fixed
it temporarily.
About week ago two large steam
rollers crossed the bridge and since
then it has been turned with difficult
ty. Mr. Eckert is having a casting
made of the wheel today and expects
to have 1t in place by tonight.
Mr.. Eckert this morning said that
the bridge was never built for heavy
traffic such as trolley cars and steam
rollers, and that the recent hot wea-
ther, causing high tension on the
girders, was responsible for the pres
ent trouble. "If there was only one
track across the bridge and that plac-
ed in the middle, l think 1t would
better matters" said Mr.. Eckert, "as
the weight of the cars would then be
on the center of the bridge. Now
on account of the two tracks, the
cars pass on each side and throw the
structure out of plumb"
The north bulkhead had to be re.
paired yesterday and Mr. Eckert
says he will level up the bridge after
he replaces the cog wheel. The
bridge today has direct gearing and
on account of the heavy purchase, re
quires the combined efforts OF three
men to turn 1t.

CARPENTERS NOW WORKING
UNDER THE UNION AGREEMENT
Only Union Men
Employed by
Bosses.
LET OTHERS GO

Almost every carpenter contractor
in and about this city discharged all
non-union help and hired nothing
but union journeymen this morning,
and thus the strike existing between
the carpenter bosses and journeymen
ended, after lasting for over two
years.
Some of the bosses felt indisposed
to let men go who had been in their
employ for over two years, some of
whom were good mechanics, but to
comply with their agreement, those
who had no union cards were told
that they were not wanted this morn
Ing. There are several journeymen
and also bosses, who are steadfast in
their statements of two years ago,
that they will, under no conditions,
affiliate with any union.
All carpenter journeymen will now
receive forty-tWo cents an hour. That
price has been paid for two years by
several bosses who have maintained
open shop.
How the journeymen of other
building trades will accept this
change remains to be seen. There
are some whose statements lead one
to believe that they propose to fight
1t to the bitter end. AS far as he
bosses in other building trades are
concerned, they apparently care lit
tie about the change.
About twelve boss carpenters are
anected by the agreement.
