A story is told of a minister who goes to church from his home in a carriage on Sunday. He received an anonymous letter directing his attention to the fact that the Lord never rode to church in a carriage. The minister read the letter from the pulpit, and then said: If the writer will come to me next Sun day properly saddled and bridled l will be glad to follow the Lords example and come to church as the Lord entered Jerusalem.

A new city reservoir, without the assistance of the Santa Fe, is now assured. As mentioned in The Sun previously, the Santa Fe officials are still figuring and will undoubtedly be still figuring when Flagstaff has a reservoir large enough to take care of the needs of the different mills and a grow ing city. It is reported on good authority that after the city coun- cil had raised the Santa Fe en- gineer's estimate of the cost of the large reservoir from $o2, 500 to SI25, they again made an estimate which ran up to some where in the neighborhood ot $500, GOO for the work, then con sistently let the matter drop with the city authorities to find it out if they could.
 Flagstaff pays something near $500, ,ooo a year into the treasury of the Santa Fe. Their contempt uous treatment in absolutely ig- nored the city council and people, the violation of their word that the matter would be settled within a week, has convinced the people generally that they need expect nothing but the worst of it from the company high ups.
 The people will back up the city council to the limit in the new project, as we'll as in their fight against this greedy, grasping corporation which would rob the city of it's life blood.
 Because of what is claimed to be a fixed" survey, which put the city spring on a railroad sec ton, a section which was sup posed to be reconveyed to the United States when other lands were transferred, the Santa Fe now gets water at much less than cost. In spite of this they have kept up a dog-in-the-manager process, in hopes of delaying if not preventing the development of the city's water supply.
 The Santa Fe often complains bitterly that they are not treated fairly by the public. Who can blame the public for revengeful spirit under such circumstances9
 Why should the people be in terested in the welfare of a rail- road when they charge all the traffic will bear, return as little as possible, then deliberately mani fest disposition to prevent de- velopment which would only add more to their coffers2
 The new reserve reservoir will be a monument to the present city council. If the Santa Fe gets any water from the new project they should be compelled to pay the (,,II I,r,,t Ear if

RECIPROCITY NOT ACTED
ON BY The COMMITTEE
Root Amendment Adopted By
Close Vote

Washington, June S.-The Cana
dian reciprocity bill was acted upon
today by the senate finance commit
tee and will be reported Tuesday
without recommendation. The Root
amendment to the print paper and
wood pulp provision was adopted oy
the committee by vote Of s to 6. An
attempt to authorize an unfavorable
report resulted in a tie vote and an
other tie marked the effort to re-
port without recommendation before
that result was accomplished
The votes on the measure were a
surprise to members of the senate. 1t
had been generally believed that the
finance committee would shift re-
sponsibility to the senate, leaving the
real fight to be waged on the floor
At the last moment the opposition in
the committee seemed to solidify.

serious attention. An official notice
has just been published of the inten-

to amend the charter of the City OF
Columbus.
1t will provide for appointment Of
three commissioners to govern the
city, in lieu of a mayor and sixteen
aldermen as at present
The commission fight has been
gradually warming up for some time
aud ii will soon be on in earnest, A
great llany of the business men are
outspoker in their advocacy of COM
mission government.
The lccal politicians have rather
fought shy of the subject so far as
public discussion of it is concerned
but the impression prevails that at
what they consider the proper time
they will unburden their views, and
these views, as a rule, will be un-
friendly to the proposed change in
the form of city government.

If these boys fail to make good he said, he will guarantee their resignations 10 be forthcoming.
 Mr. Mutcher said he believed the matter should go over to next week in order that every body who desires may apply, after which members of the council should vote as their judgment dictate.
 Mayor Barnes again pleaded for Messrs. Gularte and Hunt, and Mr Mutchler referred to the fairness of his own proposition.
 In answer to words of Mayor Barnes Mr. McDonell said he did not ser where there would be any "throwing out no matter who were given the new positions.
 Captain Petersen said it seemed that at little caucus the other night things had been framed up in favor ol the two men now in office, and he be- lieved action ought to be postponed to next meeting.
