FOR
SMALL FAVORS
PATRON OF JONES WATER
RISES TO EXPRESS APPRE-
CATION OF FIRST AID
FROM CITY HALL.

G. r. Hale, Ellis Wabash ave-
Tue, who filed the complaint
against the Jones water system as
a nuisance, said today that the
Jones company had shut off one
woman who allowed some of her
neighbors to get water at her
house while their pipes were
frozen. The parties who got the
water were consumers of the same
company and had their water rent
paid ahead.
The report of Inspector Hender-
son of the Spokane health depart
ment is the first ray that has come
to Cannondale from the region of
the city hall. A statement issued
by Mr.. Hale today says: I'VE, the
residents of First and Second adj
ditions to Lidgerwood and Cannon
dale, desire to express our appre-
citation to the board of health for
the prompt action it has taken in
investigating the unsanitary condi-
ton of our neighborhood, due sole
ly to the failure of the Jones water
system to supply us with water.
I'VE wish to call attention to
the statement of Mr.. J. H. Jones In
yesterdays Chronicle, in which he
claims that this complaint was
made by George Hale because we
would not thaw out Hale's water
pipes
1T is a we'll known fact in the
community that not only Mr.. Hale,
but many other residents, have en-
ployed plumbers to cut their pipes
in order to determine whether or
not there was any obstruction be-
tween the cutoff in the street and
the property, and in every instance
where such inspection has been
made it has resulted in locating
the freeze somewhere between the
main and the cutoff.
I'VE are informed by one of our
citizens that while at work some
distance from home he received a
message yesterday from his wife
stating that their water had been
shut off by the company on ac-
count of the neighbOrs getting
water there since the service pipes
became frozen"

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. IS
Secretary Ballinger is making
frantic efforts to muzzle the press
and suppress information. Ills
last move is to issue orders to the
geological survey against giving
out any Information. The result
is circular letter just issued by
George Otis Smith. director of the
survey, reading in part as follows:
The tendency among certain
class of newspapermen to wrongly
interpret or recklessly color a ver-
bal expression in order to produce
a good story, necessitates the adop-
ton of safeguards which shall be
automatic and general in their ap-
plication. My circular letter of
May l, 1907, requested the co-opera-
ton of members of the survey to
the following procedure, which is
now ordered:
81. That no interviews or state
ments relative to official matters
shall be given to members of the
press without previous authority
from the director, and that when
ever any member of the survey is
so solicited he shall first ascertain
by consultation with the director
whether or not the interview is so
authorized.
