The city has sent out notices to
water consumers, advising them that
they must pay six months water tax
In advance, or, failing to do so within
ten days, suffer the penalty or having
the city water turned OFF, the turning
on of which will cost 81.
This is the first message to the
homes of Ogden officially acquainting
the people with the fact that the wat
erworks, so long disturbing factor
In city affairs, is at last q public util-
tty In possession of the municipality.
A taxpayer said this morning:
When Is this taXpaying and threat or
punishment TO cease. 1 have just es-
capped tho county treesurer's delin-
Quent list by selling a horse. Now
here comes the city with another tax
and another threatened delinquency

Ogden Waterworks company, which
the city recently purchased and for
which the city recently vot-

Two oommodious rooms have been ar
ranged in the city hall building for the
business Of the newly acquired water
works and all the books and business
papers relating TO that business Will be
transferred to the new quarters today.
The force of managers and clerks un-
der the employment of the private cor
poration will be maintained for the
time being by the city in the transac-
ton of the business OF handling the

and management OF the waterworks
committee of the city council, which Is
made up of the following councilmen:
Peery. Humphris, Flygare, Thomas and
Dana.
Hereafter the water users of the city
will transact business with the man
agement at the city hall. The system
Will be conducted under this order Of
things until such time as the city
council may make moro definite ar
rangements for the handling of the

works of the city so as to take tho
system from the hands of political
manipulation. The commission sug-
gested is to be absolutely non-parti-

POOR WORK DONE
ON OUTLET PIPE
In Nelehborhood of 100000 eaIone Of
Water Daily Escapes.

Salt Lake, Jan. Tribune: There
west side sewage station Thursday ar
tornoon, although this was the Sec
ond time test had been arranged for.
The first test was set for last Satur-
cay afternoon, but that morning the
contractor, the Campbell Building Co,
gave notice Of its inability to be
ready, and the test was postponed un-
I'll Thursday afternoon.
Although certain members of the
board OF public works, notably Chair
man H G.. Mcmillan, declared few
days ago that there were no leaks to
speak of In the pipe. twenty-five leaks
had developed by Saturday, and no at
tempt was made to carry out the test.
In the neighborhood of 100000 gal
Ions Of water are daily escaping
through the apertures and II was con-
sidered that an effort to test the pipe
would be fruitle5s.
Incompetency In the laying OF the
pipe and the handling of 1t afterward
is given as the reason for the defec-
uyeness In the work now. 1t is char6-
ed that the contractor laid the wool
en- stakes in water, and then allow
ed them to swell up before putting
the hoops on. Some OF the slaves
we're wet before they were put In the
pipe, 1t is said, and Of course when
the water was turned onto them TO
swell them up water-tight they failed
to respond, for the reason that they
had already been soaked for dayH-
With the rest of the pipe. If the hoops
had been applied Immediately after
the slaves were placed 1t would have
heen water-tight, and thus prevented
any leakage to speak Of.

 Jules Tournour is the postmaster of Ringlingville, and he is well fitted Tor the place, as he speaks French. Ger man. Spanish, HindoOStani and Polish as fuently as he does English, and knows enough Chinest, Japanese and PortugeSe to make himself understood in those tongues.
 Fifteen minutes after the last section of the show train has arrived, Jules may be found at the local post-ofhce filling his big mail bag with bundles of letters and packages from all cor ners of the earth. In another fifteen minute he is in his own office on the. grounds distributing his mail. Letters come to Ringlingville every week from more than 100 European and Asiatic cities.

 Those who live to laugh will find they have hit the right combination when they take their seats on the grand stand for of all the clowns. testers and buffoons that ever lived there is the merriest bunch of all to be found in Ringlingville. There are some remarkable fellows among them, and not few who have made even no bility laugh on the other side of the water.
 The more prominent features of the program are the Schumann horses, the double -somersa ulting automobile, the Arthur Saxon trio of strong men, the telephoning elephants, the balloon pig and Roblidello, the wire wizard.
 The date of the exhibition in Bridge port is Friday, June 25, and, as usual, the day will begin with the parade, only this year it will be a greater dis play than ever.

for a writ of habeas corpus, growing
out OF the contempt proceedings be-
fore Justice Jeffries. The order was
handed to Sheriff CASTOR with instruc-
tions that il be executed forthwith.
The order was prepared by the 9TH
er circuit judges at conference
hastily called when It was learned that
Attorney Louis Columbo, acting for
Justice Jeffries, was preparing TO ap-
ply for mandamus compelling Sher-
iff CASTOR to rearrest Culver The
judges, 1t is said, were considerably
wrought up over the way the case had
been handled and Judge Donovan
probably saved himself "scolding"
by signing the order without hesita-
ton.
Culver was found guilty OF contempt
by Justice Jeffries for publishing an
article In the Little Stick" In which
he stated that Jeffries. by his attitude,
had encouraged crime In the commu-
