SEWER CONNECTIONS.

With the approaching completion
of the city's new sanitary sewer
system there Is a considerable awak-
ening OF interest among taxpayers
as TO the sewer connections It will
cost private citizens an aggregate of
thousands of dollars to get these con-
nections made. If possible, the city
would make big hit with its people
by arranging to make the sewer con-
neeiions, or laying the drains to the
houses and assessing the property
owners for the cost minus the plum
ber's profit. The city 1t is under
stood, enjoys very reasonable rate
on sewer pipe. and there are many
who are asking II the taxpayers could
not be allowed to share the benefit Of
this rate. IL this procedure Is pos-
sible, IL viii have the further good
feature Of assuring that all residences
are promptly connected with the lat
erals.
The subject should at least be dis
cussed. Sewer connections and the
cost thereof are going to loom large
before the ultimate consumer before
long. Cooperation between city ana
citizens for prompt sewer connec-
tlons at reasonable cost will SO far

At lunch yesterday Billy was in a

BUILD A cREMAToRY.

The attention of this newspaper has
been called by a number OF citizens
TO the fact that the matter OF garbage
disposal is not being properly hand
led. II Is a fact Well known TO many
persons living in the neighborhood Of
the places whore garbage is dumped
NJ present. The city has no crematory
worthy OF the name for the burn
ing OF rubbish. something that any
well Regulated city Of the size should
have. This matter should be looked
into without delay. AT present the
bulk of the city refuse is being de-
posted near the river, just outside the
city limits, to the south This Is bound
to result IN a very undesirable condi-
ton; because, as pointed out pre-
viously. the imaginary line OF the cor
poratlon limit has no terrors for
germ or a smell. It Is understood that
some arrangement was talked OF or
made with the soavenger company
whereby 1t was to build a crematory
II this was not done II should be done,
and II such action was taken, the
order should be enforced.
Here, we believe, is one phase of
the health situation which should be
looked into by the committee OF the
Commercial club recently appointed
TO devise ways and means for
healthier city.

where He Got Inspiration.

Former District Attorney John j.
Sullivan was the principal speaker at
a reunion of old soldiers few years
ago. He had all of his wonderful
command of pathos and eloquence in
full working order that day, and as
he concluded his oration tears glis-
tened in the eyes of many of the vet
Grams. One of the old boys in blue
came up to Mr.. Sullivan, pressed his
hand and said:
"Your description of the scenes on
the field of carnage during a fight
was beautiful. You must have been
In the thick of battle some time
Where did you have your most
thrilling experience?'
"At Warren" replied Colonel sulli-
van.

Sullivan, "but if you had been be-

VIII Help Education.

The adoption Of the constitution
and the coming of statehood will be
of great advantage to the territorial
educational institutions and their fac
ulties and students should in every
manner possible urge the ratification
of the constitution at the polls. The
cause of education will be immeasur-
ably benefited and the campaign OF
education that will be waged from
now on should find its most enthusias-
tic supporters among the friends OF
the public schools and the territorial
institutions OF learning. Santa Fe

ANOTHER POLICY.

AS result OF the meeting Tuesday
night. the Commercial club has made
an important addition TO the list Of
"Our Policies" This IL IA Healthier
city" one Of the objects for club
work, as outlined in the original list,
was 20 advertise the city as health
resort; now this Is reinforced by the
aim Of making the city live up to this
advertising Az the result OF the agi-
tniion for better sanitation. started by
Or. Robert Smart. IN this newspaper,
the club has entrusted a committee
With q careful investigation OF local
health conditions. this comrittee to
Incorporate IN it's report suggestions
for Improvement. This Is in line with
the common-sense plan Of the club, as
shown IN other cases; TO find out what
Is needed and suggest Ways and means
TO supply the need The action Of
the club shows that It believes there
Is need FOR Improvement In this
belief Il is supported by the people
OF the city.
The work nf this committee can
not help but be beneficial to the in-
terests Of the community. We are
glad the club has taken hold of this,
as other problems, dlspassionately,
vigorously and In business-lllSe way.
The health agitation, little over a
week old. has already had valuable
results IN pointing out places where
Improvement Is needed. Il has shown
that physicians are careless about
observing some Of the health regula-
lions; that the anti-expectoration or
dinanee has not been properly en-
forced; that the districts just outside
the city limits are deplorably lacking
In sanitation and that quarantine reg
ulations IN and out OF the city are not
as strictly enforced as they should
be, that citizens in general are care
less about their premises; that gar
bage is not properly disposed Of. dis
infectants are rarely used. that flies
might be extermlnated by proper
measures. that shallow wells are used
for drinking water. which is liable to

Already the obiectors have been
shown the folly OF CLOSING over ac-
tuai conditions and the folly OF our
trying 10 furnish the country an ideal

people. the Commercial club. have

]. f. Jarrel, Santa Fe press agent,
accompanies the officials on all these
trips. Frank is valuable asset to
them. He knows the newspaper folks;
his acquaintance is large and as q
story teller he has few equals He
tells one on himself which he declares
happened in a small Kansas Town
just short while ago.
Frank went ahead of the party to
make the preliminary arrangements.
At 8 O'clock. on this occasion, the
house was filled but the train car
rying the officials was late. The
crowd waited patiently for half ain
hour. at which time the meeting was
scheduled to begin. But still the
train was not In, though word was
sent from the telegraph office that the
special was just coming into the yards.
The crowd was getting a little inn
patient, and the man who had been
selected as chairman suggested to
Jarrei. Say, Frank, suppose you get
up and start things here, Make this
crowd little talk, and by that time
the rest of the party will be here"
So Frank proceeded to make a
speech. He talked about this and
that carefully avoiding the ground
which the speakers would touch on,
their talks. He hammered away for
fifteen minutes and pretty nearly
talked himself out on general sub
jects.
In the meantime General Manager
Kouns, Treasurer Il. l.. Copeland,
General Freight Agent Koontz and
several other members of the party
had come into the rear of the hall and
quietly made their way up tn the
stage and had taken their seats back
of Jarrel. But Frank had neither
heard nor seen them and thought
them still on their train. He was
worrying over their not putting in an
appearance and finally in despera-
ton decided to try a new tack.
Now, ladies and gentlemen" he
said. "if any of you have any ques-
tions to ask, We would like to hear
from you. We are here to answer
them
"Oive got wan" shouted an Irish
man from the rear of the hail
Fire away" replied Frank
That's what We want
"Phwat Dim a wantin' to know
exclaimed the Irishman, SIS why in
tn divil yez don't set down an give
some wan pwhat can sphake
chanc't"
Jarrel looked around-and then
promptly granted the point of order
by suddenly taking back seat.
Among the officials who have
made these trips are c. w. kouns'
general manager; ]. r. Koontz, gem
eral freight agent; r. j. Parker gem

perintendent western division. Dodge
city: E. L. Copeland. secretary and
treasurer: J. NJ. Connel, general
passenger agent and c. T. +. Felt,
chief engineer.
When the trips We're planned the
majority of these Officials carefully
prepared speeches. Each one framed
up a speech on the particular line of
railroad work of which he has charge;
freight rates. operating, passenger
service. finance, or whatever ii hap
pened to be. But after about the first
meeting they all threw their SGT
speeches away. For in each town diff
ferent problems had to be met; local
questions and problems were brought
up, and a speech peculiar to the situa-
ton In each town had TO be made.
