SOMETHING.

81 There must be something big and
grand
81 That we don't seem to understand;
10 For every time that things go wrong
Or trouble comes, or grief or woe,
u 1t never lasts so very long.
&C For something always makes it go,
Dc EAnd seeming causes for alarm
szAAre proven quite devoid of harm.
70 There's surely something big and
grand
I'd That we don't seem to understand.
I'D There must be something grand and
I'D That We have never understood;
40 For every time some evil thought
tot Comes lurking round imbued with sir
something says we never
ought
Onto let the subtle vagrant in;
N And we heed it more and more
Tits always palmer than before.
d. There's surely something grand and
good,
5ET That We have never understood.
IT There must be something truly great
IT That we don't quite appreciate;
oS Some ever present vital power,
RI Or whence would come the light OF
day,
It The life of all, the brook, the flower
T The strength to think, and work and
pray?
T The love of helping other men
7 Less fortunate, to try again?
7 There's surely something truly great
7 That we don't quite appreciate.
y We hear of something up above
+ That's filed with life and truth and
love;
And no one doubts that it is so;
4 But don't it ever seem to you
That something also here below
Is always right and good and true?
Some guiding impulse here and now,
\ And wond'rous wise We must allow;
But he, who grasps its lifting hand
Can truly say, 81 understand"

at our meeting a few nights ago as
to the progress of the city.
Taxes Must Be Raised.

axes muSt De RAISED.
While we have lost by the closing
of the saloons practically % per cent
of the revenue used for the city eX-
penses, yet, we might just as well
are not to have saloons in the future,
we will either have to raise this reve-
nue. from a different source or else
allow our city to go back, and this,
the people will not permit; if we are
to have saloons, in the future, we can
lower the rate of taxation when we
receive the additional revenue, so
that, it occurs to me, that there is
only one thing to do, and that is, to
continue the Improvement of our city
and provide the revenue at the Sep,
TENDER meeting of the council.
The Park improvements.
We have made many improvements
the past year and while we have
been criticised by many at the time
for the park improvement, yet, be,
lieve that practically everybody is
proud of it and | think the mayor
report will demonstrate that the ad
ditional revenue has been received
from the mayors office to pay the
costs of the park Improvement.
Therefore with hope for the future
and pride in the past, with the city
hall on the road to completion, | beg
to submit this to you as your ser
want.
S. V. REYNOLDS, Mayor.

Pledges Redeemed.
l think | am justified in saying that
the LIST, I'd, Sd, 4th, 7th and 8th have
been fully redeemed, and as to the
9Th, the fact that the legislature put

authorities and thus deprived the city
authorities of any jurisdiction of the
matter, eliminates that question.

AS to the sixth, | beg to inform the
council that | have had petition

soon as the requisite number of vOt-
ers is obtained, that an election will
| be called.
! In connection with this, | wish to
say, that it will not be possible to
elect the officials under the commits
sion form of government before the
next spring election, but we can
adopt the commission form of gov
eminent and have it ready and since
it will call for a special election in

there is a demand, and one well

three additional voting precincts and
in doing this, would not recommend
the establishing of new wards, but
simply places for voting. The Sec

too large to be handled by single

to create two new voting places in
