water supply system except by
bonding the city, the city had cash
on hand to pay for the construc-
ton of such plant. The statute Of
1909 requires only few days not
ice to vote upon proposition OF
this character and authorize the
insurance of bonds therefor.
Very many cities now own water
works and electric light plants,
and very many cities are now at
tempting to buy or construct such
plants. At this time, it is deemed
the best plan, for cities to own
their water plants and electric light
plants.
The City of Ellensburg can, by
adopting the plan suggested, in
comparatively few years have the
public utilities fully paid for, worth
more than one half million dollars
which would yield the city an i'm
mense monthly income, at nearly
if not quite one half, of the price
that is now paid by the consumers.
If the present water works pay
the proprietors, why cannot city
water works be made to pay? AS
smart and capable business men as
those now experimenting the pres
ent water system can be found and
employed by the city.
The electric light plant can be
carried on equally as we'll, by pri-
vate parties, il thorough capable
men are employed to superintend
and carry on the work.
The people of this city are at
present being humbugged by those
who want to obtain possession of
these utilities for private gain.
Don't trust such persons. Their
talk is but the entering wedge for
a gigantic scheme to seize these
public utilities, intending to make
great fortunes out of the inhabi-
tants of the city if successful in
their endeavors.
If the present water supply com
pany can obtain such man as Mr..
Hubbell to conduct its business at
a profit, cannot the city obtain
the services of Mr.. Hubbell. OF
someone equally as shrewd and
competent to superintend its bus
mess? Nogood citizen, who would
for a moment stop and consider
would entertain any proposition tc
sell the electric light plant of this
city and buy the present water sys
tenn. OF course, the owners of the
present water system want to sell
the same. for they can see the
handwriting on the wall, the
Ellensburg Water Supply Company
is doomed" Let the people o.
Ellensburg for once put aside every
thought except that of the public

therefrom to supply the inhabitants
and BY methods of filtering render
the water wholesome and healthful.
The Yakima river has a great
flow ard plenty of water, and by
going a few miles above the city
sufficient water could be obtained
through gravity system for all
the needs of this city, and Ger
III an 6lterer could be used to pur-
ify the water, and there could
be no question as to the right of
the city to use the water, and no
question as to the supply being
sufficient.
The electric light plant and the
water plant can be combined and
bonds issued covering both plants
to the extent of say $500, 900. ,suffi-
cient to complete the water works
of the city and increase the power
of the electric light plant so that it
will have all the power and capac-
ity ever needed. Bonds bearing
4 per cent interest, payable semi
annually could be sold at a pre-
MUM and the interest and price
paid by setting apart proportion
of the monthly gloss receipts de-
rived from the joint plants.
The electric light plant ought to
furnish a monthly gross income of
IS, 900 and the water the same
Suppose that 50 900 of the income
was set aside each month toward
paying the bonded Indebtedness
and the interest thereon. That
would be S24 900 per year, or $24O,
600 in ten years, in twenty years
$3.50, 900. In twenty years the
bonds could be paid off and all a
mounts and extensions and expens-
es of the plant paid off. The
monthly expense for carrying on
these plants ought not to exceed
s., 900 per month.
The present water supply OF this
city is impracticable, insufficient
ane impure. and cannot be rene
died. as the surroundings and con-
ditions are such as not to allow Of
any improvement either in the
quality or quantity Of the water.
The city is not fettered by the
present system, but has the right
to construct and maintain its own
water plant. without any liability
to the present water supply COM
pany. The present company has
only the privilege of furnishing
water to those inhabitants of the
city who desire to use it, and are
willing to pay for it.
The 1909 Acts of the Legislature
of the state of Washington provide
a way and manner by which cities
can construct and maintain their
own water supply system. by issu-
ing bonds upon the plant; the
bonds to be paid by setting apart
a certain proportion of the gross
income from the plant. Before the
passing of this Act there was no
way in which cities of the third
class could erect and maintain

PAVING
RECOMMENDED

1t was the sense of public meet
ing the property owners held in
the Chamber of Commerce last
even ing that the streets of the bus
mess section of the city be paved
with asphalt, that the two blocks
on Third street. from Northern
Pacific depot to Main street, brick
be used on account of grade.
The asphalt bid was by D. A.
Williams company and was for
Sl38,258 IN 6 per cent bonds to run
ten years.
The Chamber was crowded,
c. w. Johnsone presided and
H. W. Hale was secretary. For
one time at least, the business men
of Ellensburg got together and act
ed wisely and judiciously and they
are Ger tainly to be commended on
their good business judgment.
While The Dawn has stood all along
for btulithic, being one of the di-
rectly insterested parties, it grace
fully submits to the majority, but
it is still of the opinion.
And now that we have made the
start, let there be no hold up until
Ellensburg has been made second
to no inland city in the state, and
this can be done if we only go at
everything of a public nature as
we have gone after the paving prop
osition. Let our watChwOrd be

THE ALL IMPORTANT
/ WATER QUESTION
Shall Ellensburg Have An
Adequate Wafer Supply?
SECURE IT WHILE We MAY
No Valid Reason Why Ell.
lensburg Should Not Own
And Operate System

The question of how the city OF
Ellensburg is to obtain sufficient
supply of wholesome water. for the
use of its inhabitants, has now be-
come very important to the people
Of the city, and may be considered
the most important question for
them to decide, at the present time.
Very many of the large cities of
the United States take water from
the rivers running through, or
near them, for drinking and do
nestle purposes, and by using the
modern improved methods of filter
Ing, obtain sufficient wholesome
water for drinking and domestic
purposes. TheGerman flterer has
proven in very many cities to be
thoroughly pratical and to stand
the test of time; and has proven so
satisfactory that this system has
been continually in use, in many
cities for nearly century, and no
typhoid fever or any other disease
has been traced to the use of the
water so treated.
For illustration. take the city of
Albany. New York; that has now
. population Of about 100, 900 peo-
pie. For a period of seventy five
years this city has taken water
from the Hudson river for drinking
purposes and domestic Uses Of the
inhabitants of the city
This city has used the German FL
terer alone to purify the water.
Six miles above Albany are the cit
les of Troy and West Troy, which
cities contain nearly 100000 in
habitants, and both empty their
sewerage into the Hudson river.
Immediately above the City Of Troy
are numerous cities and villages OF
many thousand inhabitants each,
the sewerage of which is emptied
into the Hudson river. The low
er part of the City of Troy has al
ways taken water from the Hudson
river for domestic purposes. New
Orleans and many other cities along
the Mississippi river take water

Who Are "Thev."

We all have a way of saying "they
say this or that of some person, or
some thing and accepting it ourselves
as authentic when someone says --tney
say" to US.
But if we stopped to inquire into the
exact source of the information, either
we would be unable to trace it back
to anyone other than that elusive in
dividual, They Say or we will find
back of it the unkind gossip of some
enemy.
And just because they say" fails
to put the blame Of a falsehood on any
one persons shoulders it really is the
most dangerous of statements and one
of. the hardest to refute.
So let us beware of believing they
say stories. Let us treat lightly all
gossip introduced by the words they
say" Or if this gossip makes us sus-
picious of its object-and it is natural
and human that it should at times
let US suspend judgment until we
KNOW. In other words, let us do the
object of they say" the justice to
investigate until we find someone who
is in a position from actual knowl-
edge and whom we can trust, to make
a positive statement over his own
name as to the truth or falsity of the
they say story.
little lesson in practical fairness by
reading little book issued by the
Coca-Cola Company, of Atlanta, Ca,
entitled '"Tne Truth About Coca
Cola" That truly delicious and whole
some beverage has for so long been the
subject of they say stories in which
all manner of untrue and detrimental
things about Coca-Cola have been cir
culated that the manufacturers have
been forced to issue their. book giving
authentic information about this -bev-
erage. And the informa ton therein
contained does not rest its case on any
they say" statements, but bases its ar
guments on analyses and statements of
chemists and scientists occupying the
highest positions in America.
This is a most interesting book-a
fine study in dignity in refuting false
hoods-and a book of information that
all should read. You will find it well
worth your while to write and ask the
Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta, Ga, to
send you free copy.
