halted again amid the chers of the
multitude.
The cry went up from the crowd
for a speech from President Gilkey,
who was then introduced by o. s.
Blanchard, one of the directors of
the company. Mr. Gilkey responded
as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: The
demonstration being made is for no
spectacular purpose; we are not on
dress parade. Every float and We
hicle in this parade means vastly
more to this community than l can
tell you. Here are some of the teams,
the machinery and a few of the men
that have been engaged in the work,
the fruit of which you now see. The
water is here, it is in your streets,
coming from the two hundred foot
ditch which is completed and in use
for more than five miles. Six miles
of the ditch on the 35O-foot con-
tour south of the river is about COM
pleted and seady for the fumes. The
lumber for said fumes is all pur-
chased and much of it is on the
ground. The large pipe you see on
the wagons is part of the 5000
feet that is purchased and ready to
be laid to convey the water from the
pumps to the high line bitches. Sub
stantial work has been done on the
large gravity ditch.
1T was just little more than four
months ago that we met at the Gold
en- Drift dam to inaugurate this en-
terprise and turn the first shovel
full of dirt. After that the finances
had to be provided, the surveys
made, the rights of way secured,
machinery. horses, tools and other
equipment purchased and assembled
and our forces organized. The work
was new to all of us, and we have
made some mistakes. We have en-
countered some very difficult work,
more expensive and tedious than we
anticipated. This, however, is pass
ed. The backbone of the difficulties
is broken. The enterprise is a sue
cess beyond a doubt. Local capital
can complete the task.
1--WE have no bouquets to throw,
nor time to answer the pessimists
and the knockers. Sufficient to say
that every man holding an official
position has done his work faith
fully, cheerfully and without COM
pensation, and some at great per-
sonal sacrifice.
"As to what has been accomplished
in the time and money used, we
leave you to Judge of results.
"In conclusion, | want to thank
those of you who have supported the
work so Loyalty, and ask that you
continue to hold up the hands of
your officers till this valley shall be
made veritable garden of Eden"
This ended the irrigation demon
straton but the water continued on
down Sixth street and finally reach
ed a point near the little church not
far from the bridge. The introduc-
tion of the water caused no little
merry-making along the street Some
one suggested that certain fellows
be dipped into the water and then
the fun commenced In less time
than 1t takes to tell it, dozen sober
minded citizens were boys again and

Meek Little Major

The great State of Missouri is
on it's knees begging the railroads
to be good and not increase
passenger rates. In an appeal to
the railroads by Attorney g Gcneral
Major published in Wednesdays
st. Louie Republic is the follow
ing.
SIN the interest of the people,
who have made your roads what
they are and .on whom you must
rely in the future and whose good
will is one of your most valuable
assets, ask that you leave your
passenger rates at 2 cents.
This has been and will continue
to be my only position in the
matter. The State has no com
promise to offer and none to ac-
cept, but chooses to submit it's
cause to the final decree of the
Supreme Court of the United
States, In which forum the prin-
ciples will be settled"
! How different this attitude from
that of Hadley, when he was
Attorney General OF the State
Then it was the railroads that
were on their knees, not the State
! of Missouri.
/ Mild, meek-mannered Major, on
his knees with his hands above
his heads pleads: Please Mr.,

Mayor Chadwick Explains.

The Mayor called at the TRIBUNE
Office last Friday and informed us,
that, in SO far as the authority Of
the city administration goes, city
marshall Shackelford is not re-
quired to be on duty both day and
night as stated in the TRIBUNE last
week. The mayor does not think
it is necessary to have the mar
shall on duty during the day time.
The marshal is required by the
city administration to work nights
only. In the day time the city is
so peaceful and the citizens 80 law
abiding that there is no need of a
police officer.
Mr.. Chadwick has been mayor
of the city for the greater portion
of the past twenty five years and
attributes the fact to his policy
of rigid economy. He ought TO
know what the people want and
probably does know. The TRI-
BuNE thought, and does think,
Montgomery should have n
police officer on duty both day
and night.
The Mayor said that in the mat
ter of lighting perhaps a better
service in the business portion of
the city would be advisable, but
that no more lights could be af.
forded at present. Perhaps that's
80. Montgomery's citizens may
be too poor to pay enough taxes
to properly light the city but we
hardly think it possible.
