lake forty-Seven feet and in some places over one hundred and fifty feet of water. The lake is fed by springs in the lake and around the shores and by several brooks from back springs. They say that the lake is state water, but all around the lake is owned by people who have built summer resi- dences, camps and farms, and it has got to be a large summer resort. The lake Is stocked with fish by the state. There is a great deal of fishing, boat ing and bathing at the lake. I men, ton these things to let the people know what they will find if they want Gardner lake for a reservoir. There are things that will have to be re- moved and things that will have to be stopped to make the lake suitable for reservoir.
 In order to do this the following things will have to be done: Get an agreement from the Falls company, a right from the state and so many feet back around the shore of the people the Falls company is not too exorbitanr in their price, including pipe line, labor and all other expenses inside of two hundred thousand dollars. Some will say I have property there. l will say I have, but none to sell, and I hope some other place will be found that will fill the bill and at a lower cost.
 I have been at Gardner lake for over thirty years and have bought and sold property there, and have got options for a party who wants to buy the lake.
 These are the facts that your com mittee will find if you wish Gardner lake for g. reservoir.

INTRODUCING MYSELF.
How you read about

I'm not the fellow you read about But only the man you know, The chap you meet on the busy street Where the hurrying thousands go: l cannot class with the Starving poor Nor yet with the men of means" I'm just the sort that you are your
 self
 The salarled fin betweens." I've never handled. 8 spade or pick, I'm hardly "a son of toil.'' l cannot blow for don't know how ; To 'wrest my bread from the soi1,''g I m only an ordinary dub
 With commonplace things to do, And so-oh, commonplace friends of I'm singing my songs to You. If you've never made your summer suit Suffice for the winters chill. IT you've never gone with soiled shirt To save on the laundry bill, If you've never eaten a buffet lunch To save nickel or two,
 These ballads are not for you. But you who worry and puzzle out Each item of daily life. Who work aud fret in the fear of debt, Along with your faithful wife. Maybe you'll find in these songs of strain that you know is true. And though I'm hardly the soul of
 song
 I'm singing them all to You. ~-Berton Braley, in December Pacific

AUDITORIUM VAUDEVILLE.

A bill based on comedy lines is what inc Auditorium offers for the first three days of this week. Ed B. and RoIla White have a novel turn in their com- cdy boxing act Ed B. White was for merly sparring partner of John l.. Sullivan. when that grand old man" of the ring was in his prime. and he will demonstrate some of the ex- champion's ring characteristics. Ran- dolph and Lockhert have a singing speciality called The Cabby and the Lady, that is a high class musical comedy number.
 That rapid fire monologist Bill Beverly, will be on hand with a brand new line of songs and stories. Bill is a comedian who does not believe in waiting for the audience to laugh at one joke before he springs another but hurls his witticisms in quick success sion one after another
 A neat act that is @ universal favor ite Is the team of Alton and Arliss, who combine singing. talking and piano playing of the highest order. Real life motion pictures, different from any others, are what the Auditorium shows All the worlds best manufacturers are represented here. such as the famous Imp O.. The Bison Co.,.

LETTERS I'D THE EDITOR
Ho! For Pease Brook.

Mir. Editor: Is not the call of Mayor Thayer for a special city meeting on Thursday evening of this week char acteristic? Who would think there was s bt of opposition to Pease brook in the city7 He says the board of Wa ter commissioners voted for It. the court of common council sustained the boardi Now come up and vote the ap- propriation. If this is not the exact language Of the call, it is the spirit of l. The action of those two munict- pal bodies settles 1t with him.
 He seems to have forgotten that the board of water commissioners eight years ago voted to accept the Stony brook water, that republican coun- cii sustained the board, that half 2, dozen engineers at a cost to the city of several thousand dollars pronounced the watershed all right; that the peo- ple voted the appropriation, and the legislature granted the $300,000 issue of bonds for the development of the watershed, and that one single demo- crat by legal advice got out an injunc- tion and exploded the whole business because the Pease brook scheme was in abeyance and tho present water shed with slight additions would be sufficient for 25 years.
 There was $T5,000 sacrificed at least on Fsirvfew against the advice of ev- cry civil engineer who examined the watershed, and now because of the delays g temporary pipe line and pumping station Is to be set up at a cost of s25.o00 more, to say nothing of the cost of laying pipe line to Mo- began lake and boring two artesian wells at a cost of s2,5o0 or $3.0OO more Hero Is an outlay of about sI1O. 900 on account of obstinate persistence in personal plan.
 The Stony brook plan called for $500. .o0O-the Pease brook plan calls for s625, 900, without considering the litigation, which will run into thou sands more: and the mayor confidently expects the taxpayers to do it, and it looks as if they would.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PICTURE

Of all the beautiful pictures That hang on memory's wall, Is one of a dim old forest, That seemeth best of all; Not for it's gnarled oaks olden Dark with the mistletoe; Not for the violets golden That sprinkle the vale below; Not for the milk-white lilies That lean from the fragrant hedge, Coquetting all day with the sunbeauH, And stealing their golden edge: Not for the vines on the upland, Where the bright red berries rest:
 slips,
 It seemed to me the best. I once had little brother, With eyes that were dark and dsep- In the lap of that golden forest He lieth in peace asleep; Light as the down on the thistle, Free as the winds that blow, We roved there the beautiful summers The summers of long ago; But his feet on the hills grew weary, And one of the autumn eyes l made for my little brother A bed of the yellow leaves. Sweetly his pale arms folded My neck in meek embrace. As the light of immortal beauty Silently covered his face; And when the arrows of sunset He fell in his saint-like beauty, Asleep by the gates of light; Therefore. of all the pictures That hang on memorys wall, The one of the dim old forest Seemeth the best of all.

GIN iOR 1Ht KlDNiYS

Gin is one of the oldest known reme- dies for kidney and bladder troubles, especially when used in the following formula: Six ounces good pure gin :; half ounce fluid extract Buchu; half ounce Murax compound" Any druggist can supply or mix these ingredients. Shake well each time and take in doses of one to two teas Spoonfuls after meals and at bedtime.
 This is the most effective remedy known for the quick relief of kidney and bladder disorders. Such symptoms as backache, frequent or highly colored urine, rheumatic pains in the, groin ought to have prompt attention to pre- vent Bright's disease or diabetes.
