The City Water Again

AS stated III one of our for
mer issues, the City Council
held a meeting Of that body
at the city hall about week
ago, the main topic Of discus
sion being the city water sup
PLY, which was inadequate.
The Santa Fe Land and I'm
provement Co, were notified
to that effect by the Council
al d we're demanded to meet
the requirements of their fran
chise, and that at once.
Although there is an abun-
dance of water in Clear Creek,
and always has been, it seems
that the machinery in use and
the main pipe line from the
Creek are to small to get the
required amount Of water to
the town main, consequently
the Company has undertaken
to haul water into the town
from Manila.
The tanks for this purpose
are usually filled with crude
oil here in Winslow which is
shipped to Gallup and when
emptied they are returned.
When the first water was
transported from Manila to
Winslow it was put in these
tanks before the same were
cleaned the result being that
now, although we have plenty
Of water we are having a suffi-
cient amount Of crude oil with
s it, making the water practi-
callv unfit for use. To say the
least the citizens are thorough
" disguised. No doubt it will
be many months before all in
dicatlons Of the oil now in the
water mains will disappear.
The water as it IS now, as
said before, is not only unfit
for use, but some citizens who
have used the same, are not
feeling very well by any
means.
It seems now that the Ma
vor will have to cell another
meeting of the Council and
look into The matter more
thoroughly.

HATS AT THE THEATRE

Why, oh why. hats at the theatre?
This answer comes trippirgly from
many women. They do not ride To tho

KING GEORGE
PATENTS RANGE

BERLIN, March 10.-King George
Of England has taken out a patent,
through the German crown prince,
his cousin, for a coal saving range,
which his majesty is said to have
perfected during the long months of
enforced idleness in the highlands and
elsewhere following his fathers death.
The crown prince, who has patent
ed a pair of nonslipping sleeve links,
proposed that he take out patent
in Germany for King George, who,
it is said, had no intention of going
through with his idea.
The range has two ovens and is
built so that, by pulling a lever, the
contents of one side, including the
fire beneath, may be shifted across
thus saving time and fuel.

HAVE RACES

If the plars of Arthur Rice are car
ried out, and they very likely will be,
the old Kappa race track will be the
scene Of some first-class horse racing
on the Fourth of July. Owners of
thoroughbreds are interesting them
selves in the matter, and at present
the outlook is most favorable. The
track has been neglected for so long
that considerable work will be neces-
sary to put it in shape for the races,
but to an enthusiastic horseman, such
little obstacles as the removal of a
thousand tons of vegetable matter and
soil is of no consequence.
There are some extremely well bred
horses on Kauai and a revival of the
old sporting days at the Kappa race
track will undoubtedly be the means
of attracting an immense crowd OF
lovers of the sport.

KAUAYS NEW
BOWLING CLUBS

Garden Island: Judging from the
reports in the Honolulu press, the sug-
gestion of a twenty-round go at the
pins, which originated with Messrs.
Maser and VOTERS, has become the
rage. The indications are that the two
Honolulu champions will have a hard
time defending their title. There are
some mighty good players in Homo
lulu, among whom are such men as
Paul Schmidt, who are in for a con-
test with the experts, and it is also
an assured face that another reckon
ing will be had with Maser and VOL
ters.
Makaweli and Kekaha are at pres
ent in the market for bowling alleys,
while Waimea is said 20 be sort of
hanging off with a view to putting one
just a little bit better. The rumor
that sporty little Kealia has also con-
tracted the bowling fever, is uncon-
firmed, though it would not be at all
surprising to hear that she had erect
ed one of the best alleys on Kauai.
