Owing to tie fact that the privi- lege allowed by the present flat rate for lawns has in some cases been abused, we wish to state that such rates are for sprinkling only. By sprinkling is meant the manipulation of a hose spray by an attendant. Those using lawn stands and hose without sprays and open hydrants or who allow connections to lun unat- tended will be subject to meter rates.
 We call your attention 10 the rates which are as follows:
 Flat rates and minimum charges
 1000 gallons tmiuimum charge per fam ly) .S2.59 Bath aud closet each .-...- ...--.....- 15 Lawn SpriukliuE ....... ..... -......-- l.5i Horses and cows oach..-...... ..---... ....-. 90
 Flat rates govern minimum charges. Charges according to meter at option of the Water Co. \ mini mum charge of & 90 per month is applied todwell- ings when no more than 1000 gallons are used. Between 1000 and 2000 gallons water is sold at 10 cents per 100 gallons, and from 2)0J up at the rate of :! cents per loo gallons.
 This in no way changes the present rates for water. but calls your atten- ton to the needless waste of water. Water wrongly applied benefits. no one, and by proper sprinkling the lawns can be well watered and the water not wasted.

Clifton Gun Club Defeats Shannon.

After a struggle that has extended over several matches, the Clifton gun club "got right" last Sunday after noon and succeeded in defeating the strong Shannon club by a score of l9S to 1S3. There were ten men on each side and the contest was real interesting, though Clifton took the lead from the start and gradually moved forward. The Shannon boys were there with the goods all the time, but the phenomenal shooting of Lancaster and A. Allender, with a record of 24 birds each, and Reisinger and Andrews with g each, made too great d difference to overcome. The feature of the match was the record of 24 birds out of a possible D made by the first squad of the Clifton club. Both clubs made excellent team averages, Clifton scoring 19.S and Shannon lS.3.
 One reason why the Shannon has dropped back is because few of the mem bers have practiced of late. but the Clifton boys are not worrying about that point, as Shannon usually makes things interesting enough. This victory placed Clifton just two behind their rivals.

CLIFTON INCORPORATED.
Measure Adopted by Vote of Two to One

After an agitation which has eX- tended through the past eight years the election held in Clifton last Sat urday for the purpose of deciding whether or not Clifton should enter the class of incorporated towns, the measure was adopted by the prop erty owners by vote of little bet ter than two to one. There were a total of 131 votes cast, of which ninety were in favor, forty against and one ballot was thrown out on ac count of it having no expression.
 Very little excitement prevailed during the day, as those who were interested simply went to the polls and voted and that was all there was to it. Early in the day, however, d number of MeXicans went 10 the polls to vote, but as the elect;ol board adopted the new educational qualification law, requiring them to read the constitution of the United States, very few of them were al lowed to vote. Ia each case the con stitution was handed to them, but they shook their heads and could not qualify. Whether or not these men desired to vote yes or no is only de Cided by personal opinion, but there is little doubt that the result of the election would have been different.
