ing, measure the discharge OF
such springs as are contemplated
within reach and estimate the
cost of construction for city
water works.
They are also to survey out the
most practical and feasible sew
erage system both gravity and
dump and septic tank, show main
lines of mains for beth systems
and gather such otter informa-
ton as is necessary for a COM
plete system with cost to the city.
These two civil engineers have
been with c. b. Mcconnell for
sometime in his preliminary work
on the Silver creek and Silvies
Valley irrigation projects and are
capable men. While they are
young both have had practical
experiences in the line Of work
for which they haye been en-
ployed by the city and no doubt
will make n complete and salts
factory report.
The city authorities have had
this in mind for some time and
were ready to take the matter up
at any time conditions would
warrant and competent men could
be secured at reasonable cost to
do the preliminary work. Burns
is ready for both water and sew
er systems and everything should
be in readiness next spring for
their installation. In the mean
time the new charter with such
provisions rs are necessary should
be prepared so no unnecessary
delay may be encountered.

to place and have sufficient to re-
plenish the permanent exhibit at
various places where they are
maintained. 1t is also desired to
have the name of the grower. his
location and the conditions under
which the products were grown.
Products for exhibition at the
county fair cannot be so labelled
and compete for prizes but this
information can be given tire
superintendent Of the pavilion
and after the fair can be attached
to all specimens, as was the case
last year, and forwarded.
1t is expected that every rail-
road system of the Northwest
will be represented here during
the League meeting and fair,
therefore il is important that we
secure the best possible display
for them to view. The Great
Northern will again give out
prize ribbons and also a silver cup
as they did last year.
The Fair Association has in
creased the premiums and made
some additions that are also at
tractive. The copy for the pre-
MUM list was sent the state
printer long ago but they have
not yet been received. The de-
lay is regretted but cannot be
helped. Farmers are asked to
save some Of their best products
for these exhibits and as soon as
the lists are received they will be
out.
As soon as possible men will
be put in the field to assist in
gathering these exhibits but it,
will be impossible to cover the
entire county. The Association
is Offering some special premiums
to districts all over the county
and these substantial prizes will
compensate for the trouble of
gathering the necessary displays
in the various districts. There
are seven of these districts COW
ering the entire county and there |
are four special prizes to be d's-
.ributed therefore they should |
get busy.

to shorten the time.

CASINO WATERS FIRED"
Lessee Kobe Replaces His White
"teip" With Negroes.

Practically all the employees of the
Belle Isle casino, including about so
walters and kitchen workers, we're
summarily discharged by Lessee Paul
Kolbe, Wednesday morning, and he
at once filled their place with Negroes.
Mr.. Kolbe's action grows primarily
out OF the complaints of patrons that
they had been insulted by the walters
for refusing tips. The trouble was
aggravated. Sunday night. when IL
men employed In the kitchen walked
out because, according to Mr.. Kolbe,
the workers insisted on having bottled
beer to drink and would not accept
draught beer.
The climax came Tuesday after
noon, when there appeared on the
tables, under Mr.. Kolbe's direction.
new menu cards, bearing the inscrip-
ton, In red type, at the bottom: You
are not obliged to tip the walters"
This brought roar from the walt
ers, who held a hurried conference
and decided to walk out at once unless
the cards were withdrawn. Rather
than interfere with the service, Mr..
Kobe agreed to withdraw the cards
temporarily. He at once got busy,
however, and by Wednesday morning
had engaged enough colored walters
to take the places of his old employees.
Then II happened, and, incidentally,
the new menu cards were put back
on the tables.

duce upwards OF dozen additional
witnesses. The prosecution has no
other testimony than that Of Mar

positive that their testimony will be
discredited. Marquette stated on the
stand that he was out Of the slot ma
chine business in Wayne county and
didn't know where any of his ma
chimes had been sold. In spite OF his
statements under oath. we now find
two machines in Wyandotte, bearing
his name.

him to plead guilty, and that he could

he followed instructions and heard no
more OF the case.
Assistant Prosecutor Aldrich said
that his purpose in getting the testi-
mony OF Cabanaw was because no re-
port OF the seizure had been made to
the proper county authorities.
Attorney Louis w. McClear, for
Randolph, objected to the testimony,
but Commissioner May allowed II.

WHY THE BAN ON
|. MASS|LLON BRICK?
Mayor Can't Understand Why More
~of, ,Rirst-G Glass Product Isn,t Roasht
and Starts Inquiry.

Many rumors have reached Mayor
Thompson lately from brick mon
and from other sources, as to the
reason why the department OF pub
lie works has not purchased more OF
the Massillon brick which have shown
up well In all the tests and cost less
than some or the inferior grades, Of
which the department has purchased
a great quantity. The mayor has de-
cided to put the question right up to
the manufacturers, the Massillon
Brick and Fire Clay Co. He will ask
whether the company Is prepared to
furnish the city q million, more or
less, of brick, as its contract calls
for, and II he receives an Affirmative
reply he proposes to go to the bot
tom of the matter and find out why
the Massillon bricks are not more
popular with the public works de-
partment.
This phase OF the brick controversy
came to D head through a letter re-
ceived by the mayor, Monday, from
the Massillon Co., asking for the pay
ment Of bills aggregating $1,656,
held up by vetoes, along with many
other bills. The mayor has nothing
against the Massillon brick and prob
ally will request the council to pay
them, in view of the excellent show
ing made In the tests. In his reply
to the communication, Mayor Thomp-
son will also make inquiry as to the
Icompany's facilities, as already in.
dicated.
in this connection, some interest
ing facts have been unearthed by
the mayor as to Commissioner Haar-
ers purchases of brick I'm the last few
weeks. Up to June Is, when the pres
ent controversy started, large guam
titles of the poorer quality of brick,
as shown by the tests. had been or
dered and deliveries were being madc
regularly. The commissioner had or.
dered 1,1S5,000 Medal, 70S,000 Was
sail and 100000 Wooster up to that
time. There have been no new or
ders for any OF these varieties since
then, while the purchases of Besse-
mer, Massillon and Nelsonville. all
OF which have shown up we'll In the
tests, have increased. Since the row
started, Haarer has bought 472,240
Bessemer, total OF 2,214,800 Bes-
semer for the season; 33,S40 Mel
sonville and $4,000 Massillon. Up TO
the beginning OF the trouble the pur-
chases of Massillon had amounted 10
only $4,000. Thus the mayors cam
paign for good paving brick Is bring
ing some good. results.
"As long as the commissioner Will
buy brick that will stand the test.
that Is all ask, and purchases OF
these brick will not be vetoed" said
the mayor. The standard Of 20 per
cent abrasion. which I have fixed. is
a fair one and Is entirely satisfac-
tory to the manufacturers Of Besse-
mer, Massillon and Nelsonville. They
are not afraid of the rattler, for they
are sending Us good brick. | think
the rattler has already proven Itself
good investment for the city"
Boiler Inspector McCabe is coftin-
uIng his tests today. He will have a
complete report 10 submit TO the
council next Tuesday night.

WATER BOARD PEEvED.
Doesn't Like Being Asked 10 Pay
$1,000 for Damaging Pavements.

Some harsh things were said about
City Controller Heineman in the regur
lar meeting OF the water board, Tues
day afternoon. during a discussion OF
the $1,000 claim Heineman says the
city has against the board for repair
ing pavements damaged by broken
water mains. The commissioners made
II plain that they have no intention OF
paying the claim unfess the supreme
court says they must do so.
Commissioner John Gillespie was
especially bitter and made several
vicious slaps at the controller, figura-
lively speaking. The controller, he
declared. never neglected an oppor-
tunity TO whack the water board.
The board discharged Albert Sack
man, a sub-foreman In the meter de-
partment. and John Collins, a t60-a-
month man. Sackman displayed a poor
memory when called as a witness In
a case recently tried before the CON-
mission. The wife OF John Collins
had complained that he did not sup
port her.
