Water Consumers Must
Put in Their Meters

Mr.. Crawford did not deny the
right OF the city to compel the in
stallation OF meters. at the expense
of the consumer, to be charged and
collected as other taxes, but did
deny the right under existing city
statutes.
S. S. Smith, on behalf of the city,
cited supreme court decisions that
he claimed settled the matter, and
advanced arguments to show that
the city possessed full and ample
authority under its present ordin-
ances to enforce the penalties pre-
scribed for failure of the consumers
to install meters.
I'VE are not trying to avoid pay
ment for meters" said II. A. Andre
son, one OF the plaintiffs, "but we
wish to have the city advertise for
bids, and install meters under that
plan. We think that under exist
ing conditions meters are costing too
much money"
The application for perpetual In
junction will be heard before Judge
r. l.. King at the September term
OF the district court. In the means
time the city executives will enforce
the water ordinances, and refuse
supply to consumers who fail to in
stall meters.
I'VE will be both ienient and rea-
sOnable," said Mayor Nichols, but
the meters must go In. We have
always given ample notice, and
have granted extension OF time where
such was advisable. We have faith
in the present ordinances, and Will
continue to enforce them"
One Of the plaintiffs said that the
city woNld probably be afraid to cut
off water supplies until after the
final hearing, for" he said, IF the
ordinance falls before Judge King
they woHld then be liable for dam
age" City executives declare, how
ever, that they have no fear Of such
thing transpiang. and that eyety
consumer will be, on. Q meter by the
time the case comes up for ita ftnal
hearing. /.
Following the rendering OF the
verdict H. A. ANDERSON went to the
city clerks office and ordered and
paid for two meters to be Installed
in his residences. AS Mr.. Anderson
was the active factor in the injunc4
tion suit it is probable that no fur
ther steps will be taken

COOLER AND LITTLE RAIN
IS FORECAST FOR WEEK


Cooler weather throughout the
country except in the Pacific coast
states during this week is predicted
by the experts of the weather bu-
reau at Washington, in their weekly
bulletin.
The distribution of pressure over
the North American continent and
the adjacent oceans" the forecast
says; is such as to indicate temper
atures below the seasonal average
the coming week over the north
western states, the great central val
leys and the lakes and the eastern
states and near or slightly above the
normal in the gulf states and on the
Pacific coast. No warm wave is
probable east OF the Rocky noun
tains during the next week or ten
days. The precipitation during the
week will be generally light and
local and there are no indications
at the present time that a general
storm will cross the country during
the coming week.
There is no evidence of a dis
turbaRce IN the West Indies" -

WATER SUPPLIES EXHAUSTED
Many Have No Water for Stock
Haul Sand Springs.

Wells, ponds, cisterns and creeks
all over the county are drying and
farmers in many sections are con-
fronted with the grave problem OF
securing sufficient water for their
stock. Many are hauling water from
the wells of their more fortunate
neighbors, and are sinking new wells
in draws and along creek banks.
A few have no water to drink,
who are dependent upon cisterns for
domestic supply. Yesterday eight
different farmers, from the north
west and southeast, purchased Sand
Springs water and hauled it to their
homes. Sunday about the same
number purchased a supply. and
others have been without drinking
water for a week.
1t Is now conceded that ample
rain would be able to develop but
little corn, and the feed problem is
also a serious one. Fortunately the
corn IS sufficiently advanced to
make good ensilage.

dozens of automobiles and buggies.
At nine the band went out into

buggies followed the entire route.
The band played at the Union Pa

awaiting the band. Every porch

SOLOMON FARMER HAS
SOME REMARKABLE CORN

A. Hough, who is farming the
J. T. Sellards farm south of town
caused quite stir on the streets
yesterday morning when he brought
in few stalks of mighty good look
ling cOrns- Thy stalks GtOOd about
ten feet in height and contained
good sized ears. One stalk carried
two ears and each was filled to the
end. Mr.. Hough says he has 100
acres which is as good as the sample
brought to town. He also brought
in a sample from a 3O-aere field
which did not look SO good. It was
small stalk and pretty badly fired.
He says he prepared the seed bed
for the 3O-acre field according to !
Instructions sent out by the agri-
cultural college. He thinks If this
had been wet year the 80 acres
would have produced excellent corn
as his seed bed was in perfect con-
dition- Tribune.
