 The Water Situation.
 The most important question which confronts the property owners of Clifton is the deplorable condition of the local water situation, demonstra- ted last April at the time of the big fire which swept Chase Creek, and again brought forcibly to our at tention by the conf1agration in the Riverside section on Wednesday of this week. The condition is a cul- imitation of circumstances which have existed for several months. I'm provements were planned by the Cliff ton Water company several months ago, about the time of the pass age of the law creating the Corpora tion Commission Shortly after the of the Commission complaint was filed before that body against the local water company com blaming of poor service and high rates. Upon the filing of that com plaint the Water Co. rested on it's oars awaiting a decision of the Con- mission and approval by that body of it's plans, which apprval is re- Iuired by the Commission before any by any public utility can be made. Thesi com plaint against the local water com pany was lodged months ago, about the first of the year. Fn April, last, he Commission visited Clifton and made an investigation, hearing testi- nony, and placing a physical valua- ion upon the plant. Six months have elapsed since the hearing in Clifton. Matters remain the same and it is no

Congress. and Currency Reform

The Democrats have undertaken
to give the country q certain measure
of currency reform without creating
a central bank. The bankers had adj
mitted that this could be done, but
had claimed that they ought to ap-
point some OF the members Of the
central board. Mr.. VANDERBILT has
rendered service in pointing out the
advantages Of q a central institution,
controlling its branches. But the
bankers, taken as a whole, have
strengthened rather than weakened
Mr.. Glass aud Senator Owen In their
advocacy Of the pending bill. because
the positions taken from time 70;
time by the bankers have been 10 In;
consistent and vacillating that Mr..
Glass has been partially justified 10,
saying that he cannot find out what,
1t is that the bankers really want,
The discussion upon the whole has
been a very creditable and encourag-3
ing one. Members Of both houses OF
congress have shown sincerity and.
patriotism, and have grown enor--

Bounty on Wolves

Mesa county will not pay a wolf
bounty the coming year. The re-
fusal of the Garfield county commits
sioners to make an appropriation or
levy for this purpose 10 responsible
for the failure of the county board
here to act.
Chairman Snyder had an agree
ment with Garfield county to make q
levy II the Garfield board took sim
liar action, and the latter board had
agreed to notify the Mesa county
commissioners before adjournment,
~ they made the appropriation. AS
nothing was heard from them, the
Mesa county board decided that they
would omit the levy for 1914.
In connection with the above, from
the Grand Junction Sentinel, the
Telegram will state that while sew
eral years ago the commissioners Of
Garfield county made levy for the
purpose Of paying bounty on
wolves, since that time no provision
of a similar character has been made
and this year At least no request was
Forthcoming from the stockmen,
either as individuals or through their
associations that funds be provided
for paying bounty on these preda-
tory animals. Possibly, however, II
occasion demanded, money from the
general fund might be used.-Rifle
