Redding, Dec. 31.-Soon after Sher- iff-eiect Pease assumes once next June there will doubtless be appointed 3 new deputy sheriR for this locality to succeed Thomas F. Bristol. the present Democratic incumbent Tkere has been no wild and extended scra1n- ble for the place, the only applicants to come forward 50 far being George s. Banks and Lew warner. It ts gen. trally ul1derstood that Hr Pease will be governed in naming the appointee by the recommend@ti @tion of the Re- publican town comnnittee Of which Herbert S Barnes is chairman The comnittee have taken no definite ac- ton in che matter as yet. but ma 5ordty Of the members if not all of them are known to incline towards MT. Banks He was one of the dele gates to the county convention and there supp Bailey against Pease as did the other Redding delegates, but it IS not believed that the sheriff elect will hold this circuTnstance against him. MT. Banks served two terms as deputy under orrner Sheriff Taawley and made an excellent record. the most notable of his of6cia1 achievements being the running down and arrest of the two Nrlrk Twain burglars. This was really a clever piece ox detective work and MT. Banks still carries in his person the bullet which he received during his struggle with one of the burglars on Q train near Georsetown.

Since buy l ing the Wheeler property in the Forge district the water company has done
 little in the way of real estate ac. Qs1ike1n beyond buying the Hull tract of about seventy acres in the same locality. No positive informa. l tion appears to be obtainab1e as ec l when the building of the big ham vii 1 be started. The conpany's plans pro
