Father Karapiperis spoke of the miser-
able treatment which has been accord
ed the Christian nations for the past
four centuries at the hands Of the
Turks, whom he claimed were no near

centuries ago. He concluded by say
ing: THE time has come for the Bal

age which has chung 70 them for years,
and 70 either bring about a revolution
in Turkish methods or wipe that ma
ton off the map" His address was

BEST VIEW coTTAGER
 CLAsHEs WITH WATER co.
Andrew Maher Has Pipe Line Cut
 Two Cottages Without Water.

Trouble over excavation by the Best View Water company of pipe line running through land of Andrew Maher at Best View came to head Saturday morning when, without no- tice. the line was cut at MT. Maher' 8 direction. leaving two cottages north of his place without water supply.
 Last winter the pipe line over which the dispute arose froze up and was uncovered by the water company. It is claimed that the company failed to put the Maher property in the condi- tion in which it was found and trou- ble ensued Later, it is alleged, MT. Maher demanded a monthly rental for the privilege of running pipes through his sland and when this was not forth coming took action as above stated. Pipes are being lald to the cottages affected from the source of supply and the trouble will be remedied in a day or two. In the meantime the dwell- CTS in the waterless cottages have been forced to purchase water for drinking purposes and some strong talk is heard on both sides
