Oh Riley ON Water

| tho't 1 would attind the council
mating to see how they operatid.
tell Yez they have toine spakers for
sioh small house. lviry thing wint
smooth till the spakers from the Give
lake came In and thin things wint
smoother.
The first spaker to interjuce the
oom-i .tee'e report was the Sisero
(widout the ro) OF the national bank.
| tell yez he is toine oIatir, he had
the mayor and livery one of the cOun.
Oil moved to the wapeing pint, they
acted loiBe they had laked someting.
That was toine ,speel to think amy
man could love the paples interests
SO (widout the paple).
Thin came the Demosthinees of the
hospital. lie swaed the audience
from here to Philadilphy. lie told
thin how much the water company
tho't of the dare paple in the past,
and barely mintined the prizes to be
drawn In the mare future from the
fasits. lie did not name thin. How
could he tell phat they was till he
saw thimY I'll bet tOive clnts that
WAS the gratist medicated lectur that
was iVeI unwound in Hood River on
finance. pumps, wells, the water com.
pany and their intintions.
| hear that the chairman OF the
water company's com.i.ttee run Tor
councilman last winter and they bill.
ed the town wild their platform that
they stood lor municipal water
plant. lie want illloted. He still
stands for municipal water plant
after fifteen long exclusive year of
probation. Plat an intitictiai giant
Phat diferince do ii make to Male
lvsns II the iditir and the News do
belong to the water company livery
body knoes that. Maybe be is afrade
they Will illict him to some Office whin
he don't kno 1t, to git aVen wild him
tor talking back to him. If he don't
kape still, aud stop trim to be smart,
he may git hurted.
And some other papel had bither be
careful, If they make the water com
pany and some of the first sitzins
much sloker, they may vom i.tory all
oven thin. fhat prize that would
be-
l see by the paper that the Mayor
drew one pIlze IRON the state board
of hilth.
Bomrang, phat is that the iditor of
the News hollered at the iditor of the
Glacier Hnnyho? ls 1t the water com.
pany's iliotion holler, or the name OF
their conf tees report? Phativer it
is, I'll bet 1t kicks.
That dociment bates all. The water
company can pump water about 400
tate high asier than the pHple can let
water run down hill, but yez would
lose thin milk shakes and some
other things that come down the
river.
Some paple are skeered OF thin
$50, 900 OF bonds for municipal
water plant. They know whin they
pay their taxes they are paying the
lntirist and sinking fund on thin
school bonds, and whin they nay
there water bills they are paying the
water company's intirist aud sinking
fund on their bonded plant. Some
papel rather pay tor a plant owned by
the spapel themselves whin they pay
their water bills at the same price,
aud not make the pApel pay it all ovei
again wild intirist after fifteen years
OF probation, but they Will not draw
thin prizes thin. Anyway some
prizes ale ixpinsive.
Min, let us Tiger some. At dollar
and six bits month for thin fifteen
exclusive years makes three hundred
aud fifteen dollars, and SIX hundred
families makes one hundred aud
eighty nine thousand dollars, widout
the ice pants and fire protection, but
