 We certainly had a. ripping-that's the correct word, we know, for we were there on the spot-thunderstorm Tuesday afternoon.

 A new footpath is being made to the top of City Hill. Initiating the Prescott and Phoenix railway, it makes the ascent by easy grades and innumerable zigzags. Comfortable benches with backs are to be placed at intervals where the view is espe- cialIy fine that climbers may rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains. The way to the tip top is thus being made so easy that almost anybody can go up and look down on the world Those who have not made this trip should not miss it The work on this improvement has been done by enterprising mem bers of the Outing club-President J. w. Doris, Walter Bennett, MT. Matthews and Others-as labor Of love. There are two ways of finding he new path. One is to go to the -op and come down. This is surest, IS the path is plainest at the upper end. The other is to strike the trail just north of the Alkire cottage and 90 up.

 Early in the year plans were per fected and work begun for the install Iation of a new water system Two large storage tanks holding 1900 gal Ions each are located in the tank bouse near the spring, into which the water is first pumped. Upon the side of City Hill, well above the highest cottage, a larger, galvanized iron covered tank holding 5000 gal Ions has been placed in position. This 1 is filled from the storage tanks by ! means of three cylinder pump, |
