Worth the Expense,

The story that Sir John Fisher of

greatest enjoyment-andh he tells many,
and all with zest-is of an old boat
swain on his flagship who fell into a

the admiral visited him at his coun-
try box, to find the old sailor pos
sessed of an apparently useless man
servant.
What do you want with him?"
asked Fisher.

II is stated officially that upwart
OF six hundred persons have establish
ed residence In this city and have
either filed divorce proceedings or will
do so as soon as they have been here
six months. Every train brings new
applicants, and every part of the Unit
ed States is already represented by
those who have found marriage a
failure.
The new Nevada divorce law Is,
perhaps, the most elastic ever entered
on the statutes of any state. 1t was
enacted by the legislature to attract
immigration and money to the state
in the popular belief that every new
arrival would make more or less of an
investment in the vast mining and
other Industries Of Nevada. The plain
tiff must reside in the state for at least
six months. He or she need not live
there continuously. but may leave the
state, at any time, returning and fl
ing suit when six months have passed
after legally establishing domicile.
Here is what Reno divorce special
list says In treatise on the procedure
required: while the laws in other
states generally contain some provi-
sion for the dissolution of the mar
riage tie, 1t is obvious that in cases
where extreme cruelty. desertion and
failure to provide form the basis of
the grievance, the laws in such states
offer no substantial relief to the ag-
grieved party because the require

tiles nineteen blocks long anC
six blocks wide which would
cover fully three fourths of the
residences in the city and all of
the business section with ample
fire protection.
AS to the sewerage, according
to the plans specified it would
serve at least Seventy-tive per
cent of the residences and pos
sibly more.
Speaking of the cost of these
plants, Engineer Mantz said that
his estimates were not based on
guess work but on actual offers
for material and that if the city
should offer the installation by
bids, he thought that it could be
installed for con siderably less.
The sewerage mains are to have
an average depth of five feet in
order that proper drainage
might be had from the resi-
dences. He also stated that the
sewerage pipe proposed wonld
be sufficient in size to serve the
district covered even though the
entire district were very thickly
populated.
AS above stated it is now up
to the citizens of Canyon City to
say whether or not we shall have
it. In this article we are not
discussing the pro or con of the
proposition but we are trying to
set forth the proposed plan.
Should anyone desire to see the
plat of the system they may do
so by calling at this Office.

NEW FLOUR MILL
WILL COME HERE.
BONUS FOR LOCATION IS PRACTICALLY
RAISED THIS WEEK BY CITIZENS.
Practical, Successful Operators Will Establish
One Hundred Barrel Mill as Soon
as Possible.

During the past week there has
been considerable doing among
the energetic people of this city
in the matter of securing for our
city of a Touring mill. When it
was announced last week that it
would be possible to secure the
mill which Messrs. Anthony and
Locllhead of Terrell, Texas, had
decided to locate in the Panhan-
die the progressive people decid-
ed that Canyon City was the
place for it and in that manner
went after the proposition.
The matter had so far pro-
gressed last Tuesday afternoon
that Mr.. Lockhead was so well
assured that the desired bonus
would be raised that he returned
to his home and will return here
in about ten days to select the
exact grounds upon which they
will build the mill. Yesterday
the lists had been swollen until
only small amount was still nee
eSsary and the location is practi-
'cally assured as Canyon City will
have met the requirements of the
gentlemen.
While some people may not see
the great advantage which will
come to our city from this enter
prise, still the right thinking
man will be bound to admit that
the better markets we have for
farm products the better town
will we have from a mercantile
standpoint. In addition to this
are the other many advantages
which will accrue not the least of
which will be securing as citizens
of our town of the two gentlemen
who will come here to manage
and run the mill, J. b. Anthony
and r. |. LOckhead. They are
men of ability in business mat
terS and stand in the highest
ranks as citizens of Kaufman
county and their citizenship
among us will be of great advan-
age to our town for they are of
the energetic, progressive type
which will help build up towns
and not tear them down.
Work on the four story mill
will be begun just as
soon as the final contracts are let
md material can be placed upon
5he ground as the gentlemen de
sire to have the millin operation
1t the earliest possible date. Ac-
;ording to their agreement they
will have six months from the
late of their acceptance of the
proposition in which to complete
.he mill They are not to get
cent of money until they are in
lctual operation and producing
iour from their mill at this place.
Canyon City is growing and
such enterprises will make it
get up and dust itself until it
,hall become a city of the first
water.

CITIZENS TO SAY WHET THEIR OR NOT CAN
Y0N is TO HAVE WATER AND SEWER.
Engineer Prepares Preliminary Survey and
Plat With Estimates of Actual Cost
Of Installing.

| sewerage is to be determined by
the voters of the city at an elec
tion which the city council has
ordered for Saturday. July 10
the order having been made
Tuesday afternoon at a meeting
of the city dads" The election
calls for bonds to the sum of
so, 900, > per cent, 1910 yeal
bonds.
Engineer Mantz was before
the council and presented his
preliminary plans and drawings
which entered in detail for the
system. His estimate that the
entire plant as hereinafter de-
scribed could be installed for
S25, 500 complete.
His plans for fire protection
water system calls for stand
pipe elevated 50 feet above the
ground, to hold 10000 gallons of
water, concrete storage tank
to hold 100000 gallons, a we'll,
engine, boiler, pump, pump
house and all equipment, to-
gether with a line of inch main.
AS an estimate he placed the
stand pipe on the block of land
just across the railway track
from the electric light plant
from which the mains would run
south to Houston street. Thence
down Houston street to and
around the square, a total length
of 5 inch water mains of about
5000 feet with double fire hyd-
rants at each cross street along
the proposed route and at each
corner or the square.
AS for the sewerage system it
will include septic tank with the
following number of feet and
and sizes of sewerage lines:
2150 feet of six inch mains, $4,000
feet, eight inch, 1850 ten inch,
1000 feet of II inch and 5000 |
feet of 10 inch sewerage pipe.
The preliminary plans for the
sewerage covers the following
area: On the tier of block north
of the square, begin on the 18th
street west of the court house
and run through the alleys in
center of the block to the third
street East of the square: On
court house tier of blocks, begin
at the 18th street west of the
of the court house, running
down the alley to alley behind the
west side of the square connect
ing with a cross main which
serves the west side; beginning
at the main which serves the
east side of the square in the
alley and run east to the third
street east of the court house.
On tier of blocks first south of
court house, begin on the thir-
teenth street west of court house
run east through three blocks
and thence south to connect
with next block south. Begin
again in alley east of school house
and thence east to third street
east of court house. Second
and third tiers south of court
house, begin on twelfth street /
west from court house and run {
east to big main on third street {
east of court house.
The plans then call to run the t
waste at least $500 feet or half /
nile south east to some point t
where the septic tanks will be {
Ocated. These plans give one /
md a fifth miles of water mains {
with sixteen. hydrants for fire
and 27,20O feet of |
or over five miles of !
lines. {
