HYDRANTS HAVE ARRIVED
Will Be Placed in Position on City Water System as Speedily as Possible, When New Plant
 Will Be Startetd.

1t is now believed that by the last week in this month the new munich pal wateer system for Fl Centro will be in service. Delay has been occa- stoned by the failure of hydrants and valves to arrive. This material is now here and is being distributed to the various streets. About two weeks will be required to place all of this material in position.
 The material for the steel tower and water tank is on the ground, but awaits the arrival of artisans from Des Moines, Iowa, who will superintend the construction. About six weeks will be required to complete this work It is the intention of the water de- partment managers, however, to start up the plant as soon as the hydrants are in place. Water will be pumped directly into the pipes from the set ting basins until the tower is in po- sition.
 A reasonable time will be given water-users to make connections with the new system, after which the opera tion of the old plant " illbe discon- tinued.
 "ater-users will be charged one dollar for connecting fee and actual cost of materials and labor in making the new connections.

TOUT OUT OF THE RACE.
Fl Centro, Cal, Oct. 6, 1910.

El Centro, Cal, Oct 6, 1910. To the Editor of the rPess:
 Will you kindly give me space in your paper to announce to my friends my decision to withdraw from the con- test for the office of County Clerk at the November election.
 The political situation since the primary election, it appears to me, is such that there can be no good reason for both MT. F. G. Havens and myself competing for this position. It would mean certain defeat for both. MT. Ravens was successful in securing both the Democratic and Socialist en- dorsements, hence, so far as my candi- dacy is concerned, I think he should have the right of way.
 l make this statement of my own initiative, and without MT. Havens's suggestion.
 l wish to thank my many friends for their encouragement and offers of support.
 Respectfully,
 J. F. TOUT.

Once Wenatchee had the ball
on Spokanes Vineyard line but
Spokane quickly got it away and
never after that did it come
nearer either goal than the So
yard line, but once when Wenat-
chez got up to the 25-yard line
and tried a place kick for goal.
The ball went spinning up and
looked sure for goal but fell just
six inches under the pole, losing
the only real chance the Wenat-
chez boys had.
Spokane was unable to do any
thing on the offensive but was
equal to the occasion in keeping
Wenatchee from gaining.
