Preparing Specifications For
Water Works Building And
Other improvements
council WILL PUSH N1RN
Plans viii Be Fer Fine Brick Build
ing; and Must Be Ready For Bids
Before March |

The engineer employed by the city
council for the purpose, Mr.. Worley,
has begun work on preparing the
specifications for the building, i'm
provements in pipe lines, water sup
ply etc, for the city water system
The building is to be made Of pressed
brick, with round. brick smoke stack
set apart from the building. 1t is to
be building both handsome and
substantial, with tile roof and Of style
Of architecture suitable for ssnch o
building. The pumps and boilers
will be bought by bids, to come up to
the specifications stipulated by the
engineer and passed upon by the
council.
1t seems to be the opinion Of the
engineer and the council that it will
be better to let the contract in lump
lot to one man, but the specifications
will be so drawn that anyone may
bid on any part Of the work, or all Of
it. In case it should be necessary,
to have the work done at the least
expense the work may be divided up
into different contracts.
The instructions Of the engineer is
to have the specifications ready 80
that bids may be called for on Febu-
ary 20, or March l, at the latest.
The plan of the council is to go to
second water for the supply, and the
number Of wells will be determined
! by test Of the first we'll put down.
Judging from the opinions expressed
by the council and engineer at the
meeting held Tuesday afternoon when
o special meeting. was held to go over
the matter with the engineer, the
present stand pipe will be moved to
higher ground, about 1000 feet north
Of its present location, put on a new
foundation and used for q few years.
II is the opinion OF the engineer that
the old stand pipe will answer the
purpose for the present, and that
when il is done for, new stand pipe
go feet high may be built on the
same foundation.
In about week, the engineer is to
have the work'far enough advanced
to be able to give the council an es-
innate Of the work planned. Mr..
Theis is to be here within a few daya
to personally enter into the agree
ment by which the city is to purchase
the pipes in use at present.
From present appearances it is
possible that the city may be supply
ing water from its own plant by or
before the first Of next July.
As soon as the estimated cost is
furnished, and the deal with Mr.. |
Theis is completed, the mayor and
council will take up the sale Of the
bonds. They seem confident that
there will be no trouble to dispose Of
the bonds, from the inquiry they have
already made, and from the further
fact that the bonds are good in
vestment.

Commercial Club There Considering Railroad
Building In Objection ofDo dge City.
| A Stafford paper gives the follow
ing regarding o railroad enterprise
for building toward, Dodge City,
which is being considered there:
AT the Commercial club meeting
those members present listened to a
proposition in its preliminary stage
from he.Farmers & Stockgrowers
railroad company, which has recent
y been chartered to build a road
Southwest. Mr.. Eugene Tilleaux, Of
Hutchison presented the proposition
and explained its possibilities and OBJ
jects to some length, and asked for
consideration by the club favorable or
unfavorable, that evening in order
that he might report back to his com
pany and arrange for a public meet
ing at some future early date here in
Stafford when it would be placed be
fore then in approximate detail for
ultimate decision.
The club asked numerous questions
and diss ssed the proposition at
length, finally deciding to look with
favor upon it and SO expressed them.
selves in q resolution to that effect.
This company proposes to build a
railroad Southwest from Stafford
with either Trinidad, Colorado or
some other coal field point as an OBJ
jective point and make Stafford the
head OF the road. II will run South
west from Stafford and through Rose
Valley and Albano township, leaving
Stafford county down about Naron,
Pratt county. The road on paper, as
shown by maps which Mr.. Tilleaux
had with him, taps.the richest coun-
try between here and Trinidad, and
would, no doubt prove paying in
vestment from the very start. The
proposition as outlined preliminary is
for this county and other counties
through which it is to pass to vote
bonds to the extent Of $4,000 mile in
aid for it. In addition the company
wishes to have at least one half Of
the funds raised by subscription to
the first mortgage bonds which will
pay FIVE per cent, and are not to be
delivered by the promoting company
until the road is in operation. Neither
is any subscription to this issue Of
bonds to be paid until the road has
gotten under operation.
Itlooks like agood thing for Stat
ford county in that it will 60 through
q section ofthe county that needs
road badly. The farming country is
rich but the owners are handicapped
by reason Of being SO far from a
market This road would bring them
to market and enhance the value Of
their already rich holdings to twice
the present worth. When the pro-
moters come on to present the prop
osition in detail it is certain that this
section Of the country will be in
terested to the extent that they will
attend the meeting in large numbers,
for il it can be built it will do them
untold good. That il can be built is
but question Of hustle with the
folks in Stafford and along the pro-
posed line. and that hustle certainly
ought to be forthcoming in huge
chunks. 1t means much to Stafford
county.

Clever Ruse Of French Peasant Call

Glover RuSe OF french peasant GALL
ed For CONSUMPTION.
Two young men of certain French
village were called on to draw for q
CONSUMPTION. One only was wanted to
complete the number, and of the two
who were to draw one was the son of
a rich farmer and the other the only
child of poor widow. r%@ i
The farmer made friends with the
official in charge of the ballot and
promised him a handsome present it
he would only prevent his son from
going into the army. In order to do
this the. official put into the urn two
black balls instead Of one black and
one white When the young men came
he said: .
tThere are two balls, one black and
one white, in the urn. He who draws
the black one must serve Your turn
is first,'' pointing to the widows son.
The latter. suspecting that all was
not fair, drew one of the balls from
the urn and immediately swallowed il
without even looking at it. 49,.
"Why have you done that?" asked
the official ':How are we to know
whether you have drawn a black OF
white ball?'' ... = ..~s'>s .."" 90.

MUZZLING THE PRESS.
A Much Favored Official Duty at One
Time In EnuIand.

A Much Favored Official Duty at One
Time In England.
There was time in England when
government officially viewed the press
as a hostile power, to be destroyed if
possible-to be curbed at any cost. In
1888 Roger L'Estrange, "overseer of
the press,' brought out his Consider
ations and Proposals In Order to the
Regulation of the Press" He adv0-
Gated the severest restrictions for au-
thors and printers, as well as for "the
letter founders and the smiths and
joiners that work upon the premises"
and 'the stitchers, binders, stationers,
hawkers, mercury women, peddlers,
ballad singers, posts, carriers, hackney
coachmen, boatmen and Mariners
A proposal of L'Estrange was that
culprits convicted of having broken
the law should be condemned Ito wear
some visible badge or, mark of igno!
miny, as a halter instead Of hat
band, one stocking blue and another
red, blue bonnet with red letter z
or s upon it, A few. years later LES
TRANCE went one better by declaring
that newspapers ought not be allowed
at all.
He said that the reading Of them
makes the multitude too familiar
with the actions and councils Of their
superiors, too pragmatical and censo-
rious, and gives them not OILY an itch
but kind of colorado right and license
to be meddling with the government. =
In 1886 L'Estrange was knighted.

Last evening Capt. Eek of the
police force took a 13.year.old girl,
one of the many who have been lott
ering about the Great Northern
depot of late, to the police station
and, after a short csoss-examination
by Chief Creamer, she told a tale of
shocking depravity in which. two
we'll known young men of the city
we're implicated. The girl was sent
home and this morning Chief Crea-
mer visited the mother of the girl
and laid the whole matter before her.
She is now determining what action
shall be taken and it is probable that
some arrests will be made. In tact,
in view of the circumstances, there is
little else that can be done short of
placing the evidence with the proper
authorities for a thorough investiga-
ton. This is but one of number
of disclosures that are expected to
follow the determination of Chief
Creamer to put a stop to young girls
and boys lettering about the streets
and the Great Northern depot and
other places late in the evening"
