Cordova Installing /.
 Fine Water System

The Cordova Townsite Company is preparing to install 350.O00 water system. A survey gang was started out today, says the North Star. to run the necessary lines for the grading and pipe line. The source Of supply is a natural reservior of ice cold water known as Summit lake. little over two miles from town. This lake is be- tween 1500 and 1900 feet above the city. as one can readily understand that sufficient pressure will be given.
 Summit lake is topped by Eyak peak. It is 4500 feet long, 1000 feet wide and has an average depth of 60 feet. The outlet is towards Orca, and water is now piped from the late to Orca, but It will be tapped from this side for Cor dova. Nature has been very lavish in providing for Cordova in this respect, as no amount of money could provide such fine reservior, or water so cold and pure. Moreover, i. has sufficient elevation to give all the pressure needed for fire fighting and manufac- turing purposes.

The Venerable Excuse

You say your grandma's dead, my lad, and you, bowed down with woe, to see her laid beneath the mold believe you ought to go; and So you ask half day of, and you may have that same; alas. that grannies always die when there's baseball game! Last spring, if I remember right, three grandmas died for you, and you bewailed the passing, then, of souls so warm and true; and then another grandma died a tall and stately dame: the day they buried her there was a Thinning game.
 And when the balmy breeze of June among the willows sighed, another grandma closed her eyes and crossed the Great Divide: they laid her gently to her rest beside the churchyard wall,
 the day we damned the stuffing from tha Rubes from Minnepaul. Go forth,

He Keeps . Them AU
 Guessing

The Anicich building at the corner of Front street and Campbell avenue that was originally intended for one story structure, later changed to two stories, and finally made three stories high is still going skyward. Last Sat urday the frame work for tall tower was erected, and from it's dizzy height long flagpole will be erected.
 What in the name of samhill does Joes want that tower for?' is ques- tion asked a dozen times day. No- body knows, Anicich says nothing, and the builders keep on saving wood.
 Several persons labored under the impression that the tower would be of the revolving kind, and in it would be placed one of those famous Mont Wart- gomery s9.9S feldguns to train" on the surrounding pastures to discourage iniscreants from milking Joe's new COW. One man said that the cupalo was wireless telegraph tower equipped with an outfit of same kilowat power as that to be installed on the launch Marie Karstina.'' The need of wire- less communication was needed badly last Sunday on the trip to Grant creek when the supply of gasoline became ex- hausted. A few believed that the fine new building was headquarters for the city fire department, and the cupalo would furnish an excellent place to dry the hose after fire.
 Meanwhile all is mysterious, and the enterprising Joseph is attending to his multifarious duties as of yore with the same sad sweet smile.

 The next place visited was fine home on Second avenue. The Spolles- man of the party knocked at the front door; ke was answered by the bride. who demurely asked the nature of his errand. When she was informed in "a few well-chosen words," the door was suddenly slammed in the callers face, accompanied by an energetic re- mark uttered with the rising infection of the voice. and the band played on. 1t required about an hour for Mir.
