LIMIT WATER EXTENSION
TO AVAILABLE SUPPLY

best the restriction would be inter-
preted as move to limit the
growth of the city, and that it
would curtail the workingman s
chances Of buying a home as his
limited means force him to go fur
Their out to avoid the high prices
now charged for lots that a short
time ago were considered remote.
He said that making impossible the
plating of new additions would de-
prive carpenters and other me-
chanics Of the work consequent
upon the building of homes.
To this Mr.. Schiller replied that
the restriction would have a ten
dency to thickly settle the addi-
tions already provided with water.
Mr.. Dalke held that it would sim
ply put premium on such addi-
tions and increase lot prices in pro-
portion. AS real estate man his
theory is that the only way to offer
cheap homesites is to bring in new
additions as rapidly as they could
be judiciously opened Mr.. Funk
suggested that the limit be put on
elevations which the water depart
ment felt 1t could not reach. Mr..
Ostrander supported Mr.. Schiller's
argument and the recommendations
went to the council for final action.

They were last night, anyway.
The man with the lemon cOlored

store in Lidgerwood, but The
Press had beat him to 1t, and that
grocery dealer was as skeptical as
they make them He Immediately
called up Chief Sultan and told
him about 1t. Nothing has been
heard from the fakir since, but the
police believe he is still in the
city.
Thompson & Son of Harrington,
who wrote the police here letting
them into the Industrious canvass
ers' scheme, has sent bottle of
the fluid to Chief Sullivan. The
chief had some put on the bronze
telephone bracket anchored to his
desk this morning and it present

watching it closely now to see how

NO CHANGE IN
MUSIC PLANS
OFFICERS OF IRRIGATION CON-
GRESS WILL OVERLOOK
KICK OF UNION MUSICIANS
ON SOLDIERS BAND

Though the United States gov
eminent has detailed the military
band of the Fourteenth cavalry at
Walla Walla to furnish the music
for the National Irrigation con-
gress, to be held here this fall,
trouble with the American Fedora
ton of Musicians Is imminent If
the plans are carried out. as
Local musicians who. 1t has
been planned, should aid with the
musical programs on the streets
and in the armory, declare that by
the merits of the by laws of their
union, they cannot play with en-
listed men in the army 1t is held
by the union that enlisted men
playing for such occasions, take
away employment from the regu-
lar professional musicians.
So far the matter has not been
put up to the board of control of
the National Irrigation congress,
according to r. lnsinger, the chair
man. Mr.. Insinger stated this
morning that the military band,
one of the best in the entire rege-
lar army, had been detailed by
government officials to play here
during the sessions of the irriga-
tion congress.
A military band has been on
hand to furnish the music at near
ly every irrigation congress yet
held, and. although the officers OF
the irrigation congress declare
they do not wish to earn the Ill
will of the unions, the plans OF
entertainment will most likely be
carried out as already made.
