three members of the water commits

At present there is some doubt as
to whether the commission charter
viii come up at n special election or
viii be held for the regular election
II was originally the intention to sub
nit the charter at a special election.
However the work of the committee
was so delayed and the season is
now so advanced that it may be pass

was done two years ago. The matter
Will rest with the city council. After
the proposed charter has been all

papers will be filed with the council.
The council may then order a special

on the ballot at the regular election.
AS stated above there will be at
least nine city offices to be filed at

expense may prevent the association

The plan of the directors is to have
the overflow from the city water sys-
TEN empty into the lakes so that an
ever-changing, fresh supply of water
will be in them. AS an outlet to the
lakes, the old sewer line which ran
through the park and which Is now
used as an outlet for the storm sew
ers will probably be tapped. Its course
lies just about ten feet south of the
proposed lake and it can be tapped
with but little expense.

The Hon. Mr.. Huerta seems to
have run his election about as was
expected. His treatment of his op-
ponents was about as fair as that
accorded A. e. Scott Of Colony. Kan,
back in the Populist times. Scott,
at the time Leedy was elected gov
ernor was the Republican candidate
for representative. On the face OF
the returns he was elected by five
majority, but the Pop election board
called It a tie and It was put up to
the legislature. The Pops were In
control there and II was decided to
flip a dollar to see who would win.
Scott chose heads and heads turned
up. The Pops made a clever move
then. They declared this only enti-
tied him to draw lots for the place
so the secretary OF state got two
straws, the man drawing the long
one to be elected and seated. Scott
pulled the long straw. The Pops
then declared this only entitled him
to a chance at drawing card out
OF a hat, the one getting the ticket
with the word representative" on
II to be seated. Scott drew that
card the first draw. He wanted to
get his certificate of election and
take It home with him but the sec
rotary of state said 1t would be mall
ed to him. He went home and az
ter he was gone the Pops reconsid-
cred the matter, drew lots again and
declared the Pop candidate duly
elected. Then Scott filed a contest
and the Pops generously delayed
hearing 1t until after the legislature
had adjourned, allowing Mr.. Scott
to remain on the payroll but not per-
hitting him to vote.
