ELECTION WILL CARRY VERY
 HANDSOMELY

DOUGLAS, Sept. 14-(SpecialJ--
 While it is still more than a month to the day set for the election which is to decide whether Douglas is to have her own water works plant and system it is not too early to prognos, ticate that such a plan will carry and will carry handsomely. Already it is manifest that the tide is set ting in that direction and while it is but the commencement of the HCod tide which will float the propositi 1lr the drift that way is becoming plain CT and plainer.
 The balance of power in Douglas on a question lies with the smaller property owners, the men who With thrift or enterprise have bought or built their own homes from the say ings which they are able to gain from their wages. This element Is naturally conservative. It $ thrifty and provident. The home building problem has made it SO This is the

WILLIAMS HAS ] LITTLE CHANCE
 FOR BOND

DOUGLAS, Sept DSpeciaI;- ;---
 Guarded on one s.de by Constable Frank Clark and the other by depu- ty sheriff Bob Hilburn. Dan Williams yesterday made the journey from Douglas to Tombstone and was IOdg- ed in the county jail. Thus for the time being ends the case which aris- es out of the shooting which occur red n the alley back of the Grove saloon on the early morning of the fourth of this month.
 All Saturday evening Williams at tempted to secure bondsmen in the S1O,OOO at which his bail was fixed by Justice Rice when the defendant was held to answer to the grand jury on a charge of assault with intent to kill Officer E. E. Russell. All oI his attempts failed at that time and he was therefore taken to and lodg- ed in the jail at Tombstone. It IS said that his efforts to obtain bonds men are not ended but it IS not thought that he has much chance Of success.
 Meantime the condition of Officer Russell is said to show improvement but even if the wound prove not fa- tai. it is expected that he will re- main permanently Daralyzed from the wa st down.

GOOD GOLF BEING
 PLAYED AT DOUGLAS

There was some good golf played on the Country Club links yesterday when the regular monthly competi- ton for the Class Buttons was held. Generally the scores ran lower ana better than during the warm sum mer months and signs of revival oI form became manifest.
 Class A was won by John Stuppl with a 91. Brother Frank might have nosed him out with an S9 but had played around in the orning and turned in a card so that the low score of the day could not land a medal.
 It was in class B where the com pet tion was keenest. Here Packard landed as winner with a 90 closely followed by French and Rufe Scott, both of whom played sterling golf and turned in 9l cards. Some of the other good scores in the class were Mack Smith with a 93 and Reno and Fortin with g each.
 Foster once more copped the C class button, this time with 9S; Bar clay is adorned with the D class em: blem and Best made the remarkable score of 1O1 in the lowest grade, a really spectacular show.ng for any

Yelopment of the National Forests is making continually increasing de- mands upon those engaged intheir management, and men with ability to assume responsibility and serve in supervisory capacities are in de- mand. These more responsible posi- tions on the National Forests are filled by promotion from lower grad. es, so that anyone entering as a ranger is eligible for promotion to any of the more responsible and higher paid places, including that ot Forest Supervisor.
 Only those men who are at least 21 years of age, not more than 40, of good character, temperate, and n good physical condition, are eligible to take this examination. The salary paid to beginners is $9OO a year.

element which will swing the pen dulum Tn the direction of municipal ownership.
 One of the most pleasing points in connection with the coming election Is the amount of sober thinking which is being done, the amount of studying which is being given to the subject by these home builders. They are examining into conditions so far as they can obtain information as to cities that own their water system and other communities where that public utility IS in the hands of a .corpOration. Such an examination is, disclosing to them that the water supply of the city is a good invest ment for the corporation and is a good investment also for the people.
 An International reporter has done some talking with the smaller property owners and has generally found that the purchase of the water system is advocated in th.s class of citizenship. One of the men inter viewed said: q like the plan and shall vote for it. Three quarters or my friends express the same inten- tion. l believe it means lower rates for water now and a gradually de creasing rate as the bonds are paid off untl water will be supplied at the minimum possible cost.

girls, grocers and other characters go
through obstacle races at great speed.
Most recent and most marvellous
are some of the scientific uses of mo-
ton pictures. Thus, the Merchants
association of New York, convinced Of
the ravages the house-fly is doing, has
arranged for educational motion films
showing the enormous loss the nation
incurs by it. More wonderful STILL the
most delicate and dangerous surgical
operations are studied by camera and
Aim The operation itself, If serious,
can have no spectators, or few at the
most. The surgeons rehearse with a
dummy to "get in the picture; the
operation is performed efore the cam
era, quickly, deity; later the film may
be explained to thousand students.
The pictures can be run slowly so tn 1t
the exact manner of using the imple-
ments may be seen. They can be re,
peated thousand times or made in
duplicate for many schools.
The formulation of a voluntary com
mission for censoring motion pictures
in the interest of public morality has
received much attention. Quite as i'm.
portant as this praiseworthy effort OF
the manufacturers to prune entertain
ment OF any Objectionable features is
the daily discovery Of some new edu
cational or business use to which pic
lures can be put, and educators the
country over are actively tiding II
suggesting new films. Trade, adver
tisement, surgery, commerce, the
training Of soldiers work will
not the motion pictures yet be set tc

Editor Courier:
"Will Investigate Complaints"
In reading Wednesday evenings
Courier ones attention is attracted by
the caption: will Investigate Com

the Ottumwa Telephone Co., and as
the writer has a phone in the residence
they are in a position to know whereof
they speak The directorate declares
that the chief trouble is because the
patrons call by name instead of num-
Der. What else can they do when the
latest directory is dated September
1, 1908? A telephone company III a
town of this size is bound to grow and
the writer knows that in the East End
alone about so numbers were changed
in the course of two weeks These
changes have never been made public
and when you call one of the old num-
bers you may get who you call for and
you may not. Allow me to give an ex-
ample This morning the writer had
occasion to call Child's Dry Goods
store on the South Side. After going
through the various preliminaries nee
essary to get connection with the
South Side board we gave the number
3019-K, which is the way 1t is listed in
the directory. Central asked who was
wanted. We told her and she told us
they had no phone. This presumably
was the patrons fault. Another ex-
ample follows which most radically
was not the patrons fault.

that every Thursday be or his secre-
tary would receive all citizens VINO
had complaint to make. When the
p]an was announced it was freely pre-
dicted that the Cincinnati mayor Would
find he had taken rather stiif con-
tract on his hands, but results 90 nov
seem to justify these fears. me plan
has been in operation some time ana
reports from Cincinnati indicate that
1t has been a success. Several nun,
dred complaints have been registereo
and investigated and the plan has re-
suited in good, practical improve
ments.
There is no reason why such plan
shouldn't succeed The majority OF
the people do not kick unless they
have a kick coming. In every COM
munity there are some few, however,
who always have a kick coming put
they cry wolf so continually lna'
their kicks do not receive much atten-
tion. On the other hand many practi-
cal suggestions might come from GU !,
zens coming forward on Kicking day
to offer their suggestions for the I'M
proyement Of civic conditions.
