SYs9ySsssyxysssssssssssSss

The basketball game between tie
first two teams of Union Academy of
Anna. and likewise of c. H. S., will
be played tonight at the Armory in
stead of Thursday night, as previously
announced This is on account of the
weekly drill of Co. X, on Thursday
night. as the hall could not be Sc
cured. The two basketball squads of
the local High school have put in
some strenuous WORK the past two
Jays, and Coach Allen believes that
the boys will come out yictors in the
contest. AS Hill, 10, has resigned
the captaincy of the first team, Coach
Allen will not make the position
permanent one for any individual, bit
will appoint one man before any game
to act rs head of the tie am for that
contest. The expenses for two teams
icing rather heav., an admission or
% cents will be charged and all low
ers of good true sport will not be dis
appointed because every indication
points to the contest tonight being
me of the best Of the season. II c..
II. S. wins both the games, the local
team will become the champions OF
Southern Illinois, because Union
academy now claims that distinction.

ROOSEVELT ON SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.

Presumably he thinks he believes that special privilege all it's forms should abolished but do think he believes anything of the that he the term special privilege with accurate under standing or careful regard for it's definition.

structures, likely to fail at any time, and in the opinion of engineers should be replaced with permanent concrete structures, the cost of which was es- timated by Engineer F. c. Hermann at $S0,0O0.
 Receiver Holabird is emphatic in his condemnation of the policy of building temporary structures, which opponents of the receivership have sought and are still seeking to impose upon him. The only permanent con- crete structures in the system, except the gates at Hanlon heading, have been constructed during the receiver ship, and Col. Holabird says it would be nothing less than criminal to waste money on wooden structures.
 The refusal of Mutual Companies and 8 to pay for water delivered has impaired seriously the receivers re- sources. He states that the unpaid bills of and amount to 121s per cent of the total water revenues up to July 1, 1910, and that as he has no authority in law to sell water on credit, he is obliged to require pay ment monthly in advance from all companies from this time. It has been demonstrated that the water revenues at 50 cents an acre foot are insufficient to meet the expenses of operation and maintenance of the system, including the absolutely nec- essary cost of putting the system in safe condition, and therefore the con- tracts between the mutual companies and the c. D. Co.,, are not profitable
 The Receiver has been advised by his attorney that no contract or agree ment between the Water Companies and the California Development Com pany, is binding upon the Receive CT if such contract or agreement is un- profitable.

suspended and the machines have been out of commission for some time. Engineer Clarke has advised Receiver Holabird that the Alamo channel needs immediate attention and that dredging should be resumed. It is possible that $5O,000 may have to be expended to dredge the Alamo and avert another water shortage.
 Obviously the receiver cannot do the work necessary to maintain the canal system in efficient condition un- less he has sufficient money to pay for it, and the only source of revenue available to him is the sale of water to the mutual companies, the sale of receivers certificates being no longer possible.
 Upon the appointment of the Re- ceiver on December 18th, 1909, he found that under agreements between the various Mutual Water Companies and the California Development Com- pany, water was being delivered at 50 cents per acre foot, and the bills presented on July 1st for all water delivered prior to that date, and on January 1st for water delivered during the last six months of each calendar year. Imperial Water Company No. was an exception, as, owing to liti- gation prior to the Receivership, col lections were made monthly in ad- vance for all water delivered.
 The Receiver did not know when appointed whether contracts for water sold for 50 cents per acre foot were profitable contracts or not nor did he know that any of the Water Com panies would refuse from any cause to pay promptly on July 1st for water delivered.
 Eight and one-half months have elapsed since the Receiver was ap- pointed. During the first six months and seventeen days, the expenses for maintenance and operation were $173,724.52 in excess of the revenues during that period, the difference be- ing met by the sale of Receivers cer- tificates.
 On August 26th, the accounts of the Receiver showed that since July 1st extraordinary expense of maintenance in constructing a temporary dam across the Colorado river and in buy ing and operating dredge in the in- take canal, and other necessary work, amounted. to $S4,29S.25.
 Current expenses, which may be augmented by unexpected items, for the period between Aug. 1, 1910 and Jan. 1, 1911, are estimated at more than $1O0,OOO There are structures also, that should be rebuilt Sharps heading and the five delivery gates west of Heber are temporary wooden
