RAIN IN NEAR FUTURE
Janitor Levi Malone "Ain't Super
stitious," But He Has Noticed
Some Things.

Janitor Levi Malone, who looks
after the sanitary condition of the
offices in the city hall, is not super
stitious, but he has grown to take OBJ
servations of certain conditions that
always prevail upon the performance
of a certain duty. Lee" has been in
charge of the city hall for the past
year, and one thing has never failed
to record itself. Moreover, those who
are inclined to be critical might de-
termine the number of times the win
dows of the treasurer's office have
been washed in the past II months,
by going to the weather office and
looking up the rain records.
Whenever the farmers need rain,
they may secure it by asking Lee"
to wash the windows of the treas
urer's office, though during the heated
season, dust storm not infrequently
follows that event. The windows
were washed this morning, and those
who are next are watching the
horizon and the weather forecast, for
rain is not needed. Lee" says those
windows had to be washed this morn
ing.>rain or no rain, though he says a
dust storm is due, rather than a
shower.

pointed toward this city, and Incl

man to take charge of the sign work
for the Commerciaf club, supplied the
workman with a plat of the country,
showing the roads and the directions,
and that he could have become so
confused as to point the arrowhead

moment seriously considered. But it
is possible that others have tempered
with the signs since they were put in

can be kept as free from contamina-
ton during the summer months as it
should be, and further insinuated that
the cloud on the title might stand in
the way Of the city's protection of the
watershed With campers now begin
ming to go into the mountains, it is a
question whether the city has the right
and authority to place conditions upon
pleasure seekers who desire to camp
along the banks of Mill creek.
That the Commercial club should ap-
point a committee of competent and
well-informed members was one of the
statements of the speaker. who .'aid
nothing better could be done for the
advancement and the welfare of the
city than to place the water system on
a sound business basis. He spoke of
the argument that had been made in
favor of sinking wells above the city,
from which to derive the supply, and
cited the failure to secure water on
the Harbert place as an argument
against such action.

of work that would be necessary to
carry out that plan. AS far as the le-
gal question was concerned, he said
that would be by far the better solu-
ton of the problem.
There was always a question" said
he, "as to the city's right to use wa
ter from the old Lennon springs. but
that is an old question now, and the
settlement in the near future will have
little bearing on the present supply.
Fully one-half the water that natur-
ally flows in the channel of Mill creek
enters the intake of the water sys-
tenn. Every land owner living along
the creek has an interest in that wa
ter; none of them have conveyed to
the city the right to use the water, and
the city must acquire that right in the
near future. 1t is not only a question
of securing the right, but also of Sc
curing money with which to acquire
such right. 1t is not reasonable to
suppose those land owners merely
through spirit of patriotism, will do
nate to the city their interest in the
waters of Mill creek
Legal Phase Considered.
The talk by Attorney Sharpsten
was more upon the legal side of the
water question, and as the question is
still pending in court, he urged that
some action be taken whereby the sit
uation might be made more favoraole
for the city. He recommended the APP
pointment of a committee from the
Commercial club to investigate the
question, and the directors may take
some action at their meeting this af-
ternoOn.
