WILL COVER entire CITY
Council to Order Sewers and Water
Mains on Additional Streets.

Now that water works and
sewers are a certainty, there is
a general demand from proper
ty owners to ave these i'm
provements s <9ided to all
intended to covers % Main,
Thompson and a par, % ?ifth
streets for the preset ex ut
after hearing the request>
property-owners the city cou,,
Gil has decided to make the
following extentions of the
sewer and water MAINS:
Both sewer and water mains
will be ordered on Sinclair
street from Tenth to Third
streets; on Dinner street from
Tenth to Fourth streets; on
Bennett street from Seventh
to Fourth streets; OH Brander
street from Seventh to Ninth
streets; on Fifth from Brander
to the Stover-Greiner corner.
Sewers alone will be order
ed on Dinner stree from Tenth
to Eleventh; on Seventh street
from Bennett to Dinner; on
Ninth street from Thompson
to Brander; on Eleventh street
from Dinner to Sinclair.
Water mains only on Seventh
street from Thompson to
Brander.
The council will take the
necessary steps in the matter
of ordering these improve
ments at it's regular meeting
Monday night.
The taxpayers of the entire
city will be forced to bear
much of the expense incident
to the construction of the water
and sewer systems. All the
property will be taxed to pay
for the water tank and distri-
button plant, the trunk sewers
and the septic tank. This be-
ing the case the property own
ers figure that with CON-
paratively little more expense
in the way of taxation they
can have the mains on the
streets in front of their proper
ty and thus derive actual bene-
fits from the Improvement and
are therefore asking for the
extensions outlined by the
council. The work can be
done much cheaper at the
present time than if put off
two or three years and with
the extensions proposed the
entire city with the exception
of portions of the First ward
will be served.

An Old Pioneer Is Called.

Mohall Tribune: Clement
Seiffert died at Westhope last
Thursday morning. Mr.. Seiffert
was one of the first settlers in
what is now known as Mouse
River Loop; settling at Antler,
about two miles north and
east of the present town of Ant
Ter, some thirty years ago. We
remember "Old Man Seiffert"
as kindly, generous old gent
leman-a frontiersman in every
sense of the word and one who
battled against the onslaughts
of hard winters and a series of
dry years and stuck it out to
see the country blossom as a
rose. We first asked for shelf
er at his humble abode, the
white house, on Antler
Creek, some thirteen years ago,
and enjoyed his hospitality as
only one who is weary and
hungry in a strange land can.
Mr.. Seiffert was an interesting
conversationalist and enjoyed
telling of experiences during
the years; he used to haul his
first wheat crops to Devils Lake
with an OK team and later
when the road was run as far
as Bottineau he used to keep
that town supplied with the
best garden truck that was
ever raised in any country
May the ashes of this pioneer

that 40 man can ever become SO vile,
so degraded, so corrupt in Its estima-
ton that it is not ready to raise him
up and load him with dignity and hon
ors if he only will give up everything
and serve it with fidelity and single
ness of heart.
ut will be remembered that Cover
nor Patterson protested to have only
one great motive in seeking the Office
of governor-tne wholly patriotic and
.unselish desire to purge the state OF
the shame and infamy brought upon
by Cox and the Cox machine. He
openly declared that he would rather
some other than he had b task n
the honor, put his soul would not coz
sen that such a man as Cox should
he the governor of Tennessee. He
charged that Cox had degraded and de
bauched the politics of the state; he
represented him as the plant tool OF
the saloon and the corporations; he
charged that he was Democratic only
in name, a Republican in fact; he call
ed him q traitor to the Democratic par
ty. No only thai but he ~yicio1sly as
sailed his personal honor, his pecun-
iary integrity, and from every stump
in Tennessee, he pictured him in the
bitterest words in his vocabulary as
a common CRATER. And the whole
crew joined Dne1r voices IN one N
versal chorus Of Observation-Disclosures
CRATER corrupt politician cheap
John Demagogue'-such were the
words that flew thick and fast from
the mouths of Duncan B.. Cooper and
all the leaders in the great movement
to reform n purge and purify the
state, to destroy the power of the po-
litical machine and restore power to
the people of Tennessee. The whole
campaign was conducted with a view
not only to defeat Governor Cox, but
to load aim with infamy and drive him
out of the politics of Tennessee. So
far was this carried, that after Cover
nor Patterson had been nominated for
governor and Cox had been nominated
for the state senate, Major Cooper
.Journeyed to Bristol for the purpose
Of getting out an independent candi-
date against him.
Those facts will serve to glorify
the recent past of peace. It shows
how far Governor Patterson had to
stoop how much Governor Cox had
to forgive and matches an infinite con
descension with an infinite humility.
OF, course there are other details.
When Governor Cox was summoned
to Nashville, some weeks ago, twas

senate. This fight was dong and bit
ter. A feature of it was a series of
joint debates, and Carmack lost. Coop
er supported Taylor, but Robin, the
boy who killed the senator, supported
the latter.
Malcolm R. Patterson was governor
of the state at the time of the Car
mack-Taylor fight, and he announced
his candidacy for reelection. Car
mack, just beaten for the senate, was
against Patterson. This was last June
and the fight between the men for the
democratic nomination was the most
spectacular eve seen in Tennessee.
Again joint debates were arranged
and again the feeling between the fac
lions grew very bitter. In these de-
bates Cooper charged that Carmack
assailed the coloneIs good name
Cooper was an ardent Patterson man
the governor on the stand described
him as my closest personal and po-
Iitical adviser" Again, Carmack lost,
and, a month before the election, be-
come editor of the Nashville Tennes-
sean. He had made the race on the
prohibition platform, and while he did
not get the nomination, he did secure
enough representatives to assure the
passage of the so-called state wide IL
quor bill.
In the meantime, Governor Patter-
SOL and former Governor Cox, once
deadly enemies, were ~reconcfled. The
Tennessean charged that Col. Cooper
brought this reconciliation about, and
referred to 1t in a humorous and sar-
castle vein in its editorial columns.

Peacemaker be upon him. May he be
heir to all the beatitudes, and espec-

who hunger and thirst after righteous
ness. And there goe also a blessing
to Hi Excellency-for as he has been
merciful to Cox, so shall he obtain
mercy.
But the choicest blessing as is
right and proper, are for Governor
Cox himself. For II there be any re-
ward for meekness. and any for endlr

out in bod relief the gracious spirit
