A little known story Of the Jewish
race in Portugal is told of King 10
seph I. of that country. On one oc
casion the king ordered that all Port
uguese who were in any way allied to
or descended from the Hebrew race
should wear yellow hats. The old
MARQUIS de Pombal, then minister in
chief. shortly afterward appeared at
court with three yellow hats under his
arm. The king smiling, asked him;
What are you doing with theseY
The marquis replied: Il have them

THE WATER QUESTION.

1t is certainly time our city fathers
were considering the water question
and that seriously. On Monday the
water was off all day, there not being
so much as enough to get drink in
large portion of the town. This is :
serious question confronting cit,
of eight thousand people. And too. i
is nothing new. We remember the
same annual occurrence for years
back, and annually the same roar
goes out Think of the damages a
fire would do In the business district
on a day when the water is all turned
off. The property that would go up
in smoke would pay for dozen can.
ais and reservoirs.
The water master is not to blame.
II is his duty to clean the canal and
reservoir and see that both are kept
as nearly sanitary as possible. The
city council, too, perhaps does not
know just where to get the money to
make the necessary Improvement. But
IL is up to them to get it, But where
and how? Well, we don't know but we
have heard it mentioned that several
thousand dollars were going to be
spent for sidewalk crossings, etc,
and we say better forego improve
ments of this kind and put the money
on the water system. Aside from the
necessity of the water in case of fire
we have the sewer question. What
sense is there in forcing people to
connect with the sewer, and then
leave them without water for whole
day. Throw down the other improve.
ments and take care OF the water
first. Let's have water. Make the town
wet-with water.
1t is true again, the reservoir must
be cleaned, but "a. few thousand dol.
lars will build another. The city needs
two any way, Then one can be used
when the other is being cleaned and
undergoing repairs. There is no oc.
casion for this condition of affairs to
occur again.
