WILL AWARD THE
PAVING CONTRACT

The Council at its meeting Mon
day evening accepted the bid of ID.
A. Williams to pave the streets of a
dozen blocks with asphalt, his bid
being the lowest. Mr.. Williams,
who is the head of the concern to
do the work said that his attorney
would be in Ellcnsburg soon to fix
up the necessary papers, that he
expected to get down to business
by June LIST.
1t is generally understood that
most of the men employed will be
found here at home, though the
skilled help will be brought in by
Mr.. Williams. 1t is estimated that
1000 yards of pavement per day
will be put down, and that the EN-
tire paving contract will be COM
pleted this season.

Loved and Respected Wher.
ever Known and Without
an Enemy in the World
SLEEPING SWEETLY IN JESUS
Her Remains Laid to Rest
Tuesday Surrounded by a
Large Concourse of Friends

Mrs. Agnes Canning Gray died
at John Youngberg's hospital Sum
day morning at three o clock of
heart failure and the effects of an
operation for gall stones which she
had undergone few days previous.
Mrs. Gray was the widow of DR..
=. p. Gray, who died a few years
ago. She had lived IN our midst
20 years. She was born in Erie,
Genesse county, n. Y. in 1860.
When young woman, moved with
her parents to Rockford, ILL.,, and
at the age of 27 years was married
to DR.. p. p. Gray. A year latter,
in 1888, they moved to Honolulu
because of Mr.. Gray's health,
where they lived two years. In
800 they moved to this city She
was loved and esteemed by all who
knew her. She was kind and gen
crous and next to faultless.
Her surviving relatives are: a
sister, Mrs. Sarah Gillette of Los
Angeles, California, half sister,
Mrs. Fred Bragunier of Rockford,
III. a half brother, Nelson French
of Spokane, and brother, William
Canning, of Rockford, III. Her
niece. Miss Mabel Murphy of
Boise, Idaho, had been living with
her for some months past and was
at her side when the end came.
The sad news of her sudden
death spread over the city like wild
fire and many hearts were made
sad when the word was broken to
them.
The body was removed from the
hospital to the home OF Mrs. John
Davidson on Pearl street, who was
one of her oldest and staunChes
friends in the city, where it rested
until Tuesday at 10 a. M, when 1t
was conveyed to Grace Episcopal
church on Fourth and Sprague,
where Rev. Smith delivered beau
tful address. The remains were
then conveyed to the l. O. O. F.
cemetery and laid away in its last
resting place Oh earth beside the
body of her husband, DR.. P. P.
Gray.

Are the People Satisfied to
Continue to Live Without
Having Good Pure Water
NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME
Delays are Not Only Danger.
Gus But Imperil the Future
of This Beautiful City

1t seems strange that the people
of this city should longer put up
with the kind and quantity of water
furnished to them by the present
supply company, when a plentiful
supply of good wholesome water
can be obtained immediately, with
out direct expense to the city.
Water from the Yakima river
would be more wholesome, with
out passing through a fltercr,
than Wilson creek. BY fltering,
it can be rendered perfectly whole
some, and the quantity is mex
haustible. Why do not the people
in the city move in this natter
Why do not they call a meeting of
the citizens and get down to prac-
teal work petition the city cOun-
Gil to have plans and specifications
made of gravity system from the
Yakima river, with a German FL
terer and an estimate of the cost;
then have the CITY council adopt
plans and have the people vote at
once upon the project, have bonds
issued and the work started and
the mains laid as soon as possible
and before the streets of the bust
ness portion are pavcd' It would
be great expense to lay these
pipes after the streets are paved
Gas mains may be laid before the
streets are paved if the owner, IF
the gas franchise will fill their con-
tract.
When will the people of this city
combine together for their OWN
good and proceed with this most
important matter for their COnsid
Grafton at the present time? 1t was
given out through the public prints
last year that the water supply OF
this city was insufficient and I'M
wholesome. The newspapers last
year were full of complaints and
many of them truthful ones, and
numerous prospective citizens were
undoubtedly deferred from settling
here because of the rumors and re
ports and the facts apparent to them

THE BIG LOG
DRIVE IS ON

A log drive is at present coming
down the Yakima river, headed for
the Cascade Lumber company, and
is an immense one, containing over
IS, 900, 900 feet of lumber. It is in
charge of A. H. Cow and about
22O men, and they are said to be
having a hard time of it, as the
water in the river at present is too
low to float the logs freely, and
this keeps the men on the jump
preventing jams and hangups.
The drive was started March 1st
in the Teanaway river, which joins
the Yakima above Ellensburg, and
the main portion of the drive has
already reached that point, from
where easier going is expected. 1t
is thought that it will arrive here
about June 1st. This amount of
lumber is somewhat less than the
Cascade people will require this
year, but no shortage is feared, as
they have made arrangements to
receive large number of logs this
year from Easton by rail. Yakima

i'll regard to the condition and in
SutiClenCv of the water supply of
this city.
AS between the propriety and
necessity of having the streets
paved or obtaining plentiful sup
ply of wholesome water, the water
question is bv far the most impor-
tant.
Consider the ConCtion of the
water furnished ,this city for the
past six weeks, then think what it
will be when the irrigation season
is at its height, and then again late
i'll the fall 1t is simply terrible to
contemplate the water being so
muddy and impure that it Is tempt
ing Providence to Use it, and yet
smOOthe words, promises and eX-
plantiOnS soOthe the good people,
who continue to fill the Golfers CT
the l>llensburg Water company re-
gardlcsS of health. 1t is time the
good people of this city took this
matter in hand, and right speadily.
The season to do this work is now
here. and If the work is not COM
mcuccd soon another year will pass
and The trouble and danger of last
summer and fall will be repeated.
Does it require an earthquake to
arouse the people to the needs and
necessities of immediate action in
regard to institnting new water
supply system for this city,
Has Roosevelt or some other
spell binder got to come here to
wake the people up and set things
a going'
Must this city suffer from an
epidemic, or some great diaster to
many, before the inhabitants take
this matter in hand'
For the love of God and the hope
of poetcrity wake up. Take adj
of the acts of the legisla-
ture, use common sense and the
means at hand, and within the
next few months have a plentiful
and wholesome supply Of water for
the domestic uses of the inhabi
tants of this beautiful and growing
city.
The city of Seattle condemned
the whole water shed of Cedar
river. so the city of Ellcnsburg has
the right to condemn the whole wa
ter shed of Wilson creek, but that
would mean an expense of many
hundreds, yes, many thousands of
dollars. Tacoma has for years
taken it, water supply from springs
and creeks and pumping process
and other means, but at last has
