Last Wednesda Y w lille a
freight train going south was
doing some switching near the
Oil tank in town. the cries Of
some ore was heard in a box car
and the brakeman opened the
car door to find man suffering
from being jammed between two
ties. He was carried to DR..
HeSterley's office and it was
found that he was painfully hurt
about the hips. Room was Sc
cured at Mrs. Jack Fl ollerand's S
where he is being cared for un-
til ne either gets well or is able
to be moved.
He gave his name as James O.
Neal, about 45 years of age. He
stated that he had gotten on the
train at Gurdon and was going
TO Hope for the purpose of get
ting work. He has no money,
or relatives in this country that
he knows of. He stated that he
had a brother in New York, but

Miss Fannie l.. Gillette of
Springdale who has been teach
ing here for the past four
months resigned her position and
returned to her home last Sat-
urday. Miss Gillett came to
Prescott to teach Domestic
science in the new school and
circumstances were such that
the school could not be started
at the beginning of the term and
it was agreed that she take
grade work in the public ,loo /
until the High school was opened.
As the school WAS not opened
and the prospects for its opening
seeming rather remote she re-
signed to take work somewhere
else.
Miss Gillette was one the most
lovable cahacters that you ever
met, and it is to be regretted that
our high school could not be
started that the children of the
town and country might have
had this young lady to have
taught them IN that branch.

Virginia having been schooled in
the dangers arising from fires in

The alarm was caused by the dis

and prompt action on the part of
employees extinguished the fire

STATE BOARD MAKES
REPORT ON WATER
Finds Virginia's Supply Of Excep eptlonaI
Purity, and Gives Statement Of Source
and Estimated Capacity.

An extensive report on the Vir-
ginia~water supply, dealing with it's
quality, its source, and its estimat'
ed capacity as given by General
Manager Kennedy, was submitted
to the council Tuesday evening by
J. A. -Childs, assiatant- engineer of
the state board of health, through
DR.. J. H. Grove, health officer.
The report was the resultof per-
sonal investigation of the plant and
the water supply source, and the
analysis of samples of the water
taken at different points of the sys-
tenn, the investigation being made
upon request of the board of health
because of continued complaint on
the part of some that the sediment
at times found in the water during
or Immediately succeeding a fire
pressure gave the water the appear
ance of containing foreign SUBJ
stances and impurities.
The report would allay all such
fears, contending the supply is of
good sanitary quality, ample in
proportions for the needs of the
city, and free from possible con-
taminating influences aside from
the connection with the lumber
company's plant, which IS under
lock and key in charge of the fire
chief. As possible precaution
against results should it ever be
found necessary toturn this supply
into the city mains. Mr.. Childs re.
commends the installation of a
.hypochlorite plant, to be in readi-
ness at any time, which plant he
states the company has signified
it's Willingness to install.
The report in detail was accepted
and ordered published in the local
press, and will be given full text in
our next issue.
The council considered and pass.
ed the Canadian Northern franchise,
giving them right of way through
the city, and gave a street railway
franchise its fret reading. This
latter franchise is said to demand
some minor corrections, which will
be taken up Tuesday evening" next,
at the time Of its second reading. :
Bids for the furnishing of 500
garbage cans to the city were re-
ceived from Alexander Reid & Co.
and the Norton Hardware Co., the
bids being laid over tor one week
for further consideration.
The lease for an incinerator site,
in the northeast of the northeast of
section 1857, was given another
reading but was referred for future
action. This lease is from the Great
Northern Mining Company, and
while some of its provisions may
seem stringent there is little danger
OF their enforcement.
Upon motion of Alderman Kim
ball, supported and carried, the
mayors contingent fund was i'm
bursed to the extent of $500, for the
purpose of donation to the Fourth
of July committee.

TRANSFER BILL
NOT AGREED UPON
Commissioners Hold to Their
Proposed Measure.
JUDsoN SUGGESTS A WAY OUT
At Public Hearing, the Engineer
Commissioner Advocates Forcing
the Traction Companies to Com
bine-ConferenceW VIII Call Mass
Meeting Before Christmas.

The hearing by the Commissioners yes
terday of the universal transfer confer
ence failed in its purpose Of coming to
an agreement upon one reciprocal trans
fer bill. The Commissioners stood firmly
by the bill which they framed last June.
and which is nothing more than the
amended Works bill, and the conference
reiterated the opinion that its bill was
the better.
At the first hearing before the Com
missioners IL was suggested that the con-
ference consider the two measures and
then report the result The conference
reported Yesterday that il had decided to
embody several of the provisions of the
Commissioners bill in its measure.
The Main Difference.
The main difference between the two
measures is that the Commissioners bill
provides that the Commissioners shall
determine the financial settlement be-
tween the railway companies incident to
the transfer system, while the confer
ence bill specifies what the division OF
fares shall be- The conference points out
that If the rate OF division is not def
nitely stated the railway companies will
hold the transfer measure up in court
for a long time for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning a judicial opinion.
The conference bill provides for
transfer on a transfer, while the Com
missioners' measure does not. Com
missioner Judson said Yesterday that in
his opinion the conference bill is too
drastic. He said that il runs little chance
of receiving the Endorsement Of Congress,
because Of its ideality. The Engineer
Commissioner added that the only solu-
ton of the transfer problem is to force
the railway companies TO combine into
one corporation.
Further Action Promised.
The Commissioners announced that
they would hold a conference with Cor
poration Counsel Thomas in regard to
the bills, and the conference announced
that it would again reconsider the sub
ject. Charles W Darr. chairman Of the
conference. was the principal speaker at
