Notice to the Public.

The company is receiving serious
complaints about not getting a suffi-
cient supply of water. Upon investi-
cation we find the cause to be that
users of water are careless; let water
run when not in use. The company
desires to give the best service to the
public, and in order to do so is forced
to put the following rules into effect,
beginning Monday, May 8, 1910:
l. Watering streets and lawns will
be allowed from 5 p. m. to a. m.
Consumers found watering streets
or lawns between a. m. and p. m.
will be cut out without notice.
2. Faucets leaking or allowed to run
or wasting water will be cut out with
out notice.
8. Those cut out for above reasons
will be required to pay $1.00 should
they desire to be put on again.

THE FRIAR LANDS

There seems to be something
queer about the sale of the friar
lands in the Philippines. Con-
gresham Martini charged that a
vast tract was sold for the benefit
of the sugar trust--or it came to
that. He denounced the sale as
against the spirit of the law of
1902, which::restricted. the sale of
public lands to small tracts and for
the benefit of the people at large.

lands should not fall into the hands

Now, although our navy depart
ment did not then, and does not
now, believe that the Spanish
officials were in any way con-
cerned in the disaster, attributing
the explosion to the hatred of
fanatics, it is doubtful if this
opinion was shared, or is even yet
held, by the majority of the people
of the United States. Therefore,
the raising of the Maine will be
well worth all the trouble and cost
it will entail, if the thorough
physical examination of the wreck
which can then be made, brings to
light clear evidence that the
explosion was due to internal
causes, thai is to say, to the
