TRANSFER WATER
SYSTEM ON MONDAY
Douglas internationally

Il was announced this morning that
an matters had been arranged for
taking over the water system from
the Douglas improvement company
by the municipal government on next
Monday. May 2. The money for the
bonds sold by the city is now en-
route here and will probably be paid
10 the representatives of the ID. l.
company on Saturday. when the deeds
transferring the property connected
with the water system will be deliy-
cred to Mayor Greene.
This water system will be under
the management of a water commits
on named recently by the city coun-
Gil The commission is composed Of
B. A. Packard. c. o. Ellis and r. G.
Arthur. and while these gentlemen
have held several informal meetings
Tor the purpose OF considering their
duty a permanent organization has
not yet been effected. but this will
be done during the week.
Il has been decided that It will be
necessary to continue the water bus
ness in the Offices OF the ID. l. com
pany for one month. until place
can be provided into which to move
this business. One of the PROPOSE
sitions for an Office for the water de-
partment of the city is for the city
TO build an Office on the lot which
comes 10 the city as a part OF the
water system at the corner of Elev-
enth street and II avenue.
! On this lot is located the original
well and tank which first suppl ed
Douglas with its water supply. An
other suggestion is that the city pur-
chase from the International Land
and improvement company the lot
and building west of and adjoining
the city hall lot on Tenth street. This
property would bring the city water

enable appraisement the city could

ent this building is occupied by the

ing Office.
VII le the commission has not def
nitely marked out the plan for oper-
ating the water system it is known
that they expect TO get along with
about the same force as at present
employed by the selling company,
which includes two Office men two
men at the.Fifteenth street pump and
three men employed in the care OF
pipes and doing required outside
work.

Of cattle in every section of the

their cattle here but ship them to
their own feed ng pastures in Ne

men purchased many cattle in Mexi-
co during the winter and fall and
brought them to their Sulphur Springs
valley range.

BEEF SHORTAGE.


Douglas IS face to face with a beef
shortage. Where they are to obtain
the beef for the local market is a
problem that has been puzzling local
butchers for some time and has each
Gay grown more serious. Local beeves
are pract' cally unobtainable In re-
CURED quantities and the local beef
obtainable is not now Of the quality
the market men desire to supply their
customers. Hence the butchers and
marketmen are wearing worried and
puzzled expressions.
The present shortage Of beef in
Douglas is occasioned By two causes
one of these Is the fact that the ship
ments Of cattle on the hoof from
the Sulphur Springs valley and other
Immediately close distr cts are larger
than usual. probably greater than ey-
er before. owing to the high prices
Obtainable. The second cause is the
prolonged drought which has killed
the food on the ranges and lowered
the water holes. This makes neces-
sary the shipping to other ranges
for fattenlng for the market. All
that the butchers and market can see
to do is to import the beef for the
local market from quarters where
conditions similar to those here have
not prevailed during the past winter.
