Two attorneys spoke today for the
plaintiff and one for the defense.
Neither spared the parties to the suit,
and both Sen. Gore and Mrs Bond,
as well as those characterized by Sen
ator Gore rs "disgruntled politicians
whose pleadings for pie were un-
answered. and who. the defense

scored.
Summing up began after Judge
Clark read his instructions to the
jury at the opening OF the court, coun.

WATERSYSTEM HAS
B[fNPUIO OUT OF
COMMISSION
Village Today Has No Protection
From Fire
MAIN SUPPLY IS CUT orr
MAIN SUPPLY IS CUT OFF
Pipe to Cold Spring Probably
Frozen--Water Has Been
Wasted

The village Of Bennington is com.
pletely deprived of fire protection to-
day and only those persons who re-
side or have their places of business
in the lower section of the town are
able to obtain water from the village
system for domestic purposes.
There is practically no water in the
reservoir. No water is coming into
the main supply, the pipe running
from the reservoir to the Cold spring
in the vicinity of Colville. This pipe
also carries the extra supply from
Lake Hancock used in cases of emer-
gency and for this reason the situa-
ton is serious one.
A notice was published in the Ban
ner Monday cautioning the people of
the village against permitting their
faucets to remain open over night as
the mountain pipe line was carrying
no water.
A gang of men under the direction
of Superintendent Mahon worked
Monday, all day Tuesday and until 3
o'clock this mo ming In an effort to
locate the trouble and clear the pipe.
Superintendent Mahon and his men
are working today and are doing
everything in their power to remedy
the trouble.
The pipe running between the res
ervolr and the spring is over two
miles long. Repots received from
Mr.. Mahon today were to the effect
that the pipe had been investigated
for a considerable portion of the dis
lance. One report received In the
vii age was to the effect that water
had been found in the pipe near the
farm of Capt Ransom o. Gore. This
would seem to indicate that the pipe
might be cleared in "a hours. Pos
sibly double that amount of time will
elapse before the pipe wi ! begin to
pc form its duty,
Even after the pipe has been clear
ed it will require some time to Fl
the reservoir from which the water
has been drawn by the careless
course pursued by persons in the vii
lage.
Two sources OF supply, the Rider
and the Bradfo d springs, have not
been checked by the cold. The water
from these two sources, according to
a competent authority. would be suf-
ficient to supply the people of the
village with water for all legitimate
purposes. No water system, how
ever, is able to perform its functions
If it is kept wide open at the lower
end and that is about the size of the
situation that has prevailed here dur
ing the PRESENT winter.
The present difficulty can not be
charged. in the least degree. to the
management OF the water system.
The officials have done their duty
faithfully and have tried their best
to bring the peope to a realizing
sense of their responsibility in the
matter. In the latte. attempt they
have apparently failed but through
no fault Of their own.

ALASKA'S MIGHTY RIVER.
The Yukon Is Naviuable For a Stretch
Of Over 2,fCo Miles.

Dismiss from your mind any notion
that the Yukon river is puny stream
fed by eternal glaciers and trickling
away to the sea. II Is river so
mighty that it can spread out over a
width of sixty miles on the Yukon
flats and still have depth enough in the
main channel to float heavily laden
freight steamers. From its mouth
near St MichaeD Mt the Boring sea
1t is navigable all tho way to White
Horse, in the Yukon territory of Can
ada, an unbroken stretch of over .. 100
miles-two-thirds of the distance from
New York TO San Francisco. Add to
this the navigablc water of its tribu-
taries-370 miles on the lnnoko river,
800 ON the Idltarod, GO on the Koyu-
kuk and 800 miles on the Tannna-and
you will begin to have a fair idea of
what big river we have in our great
empire beneath the Northern Lights.
The valley drained by this wonderful
river system of the north is the hope
Of Alaska. The wealth Of the past and
Of today has come from mines and
fisheries, and the lifetime of all mining
regions is briefer even than human
life. IL has been only a few years,
you remember. since the Klondike was
the most active mining camp in the
world Today II is valley long since
deserted by the individual miner and
turned over TO two big dredging COM
panies. which work the low grade tail
ings. And these also must shortly
pass.-Edgar Allen Forbes in Leslie's

Police authorities have come to re-
gard cocaine rs one of the recognized
sources of crime. The cocaine tiend
seems to have his moral sense destroy
ed. The morphine devotee is often a
man of refined and elevated thought,
with delicate perceptions and with a
keen sense Of honor and obligations,
except that he will always lie and de-
celve TO get possession of his needed
dope" In his sober moments the al
cohol fiend is often a man OF consplcu-
Gus hoaor. The cocaine fiend seems
different. 1t Is believed that cocaine
directly stimulates to evil passions and
owl deeds. Family Doctor.

SKIN OF A SABLE.
II Takes Lots of Treading to Make II
Soft and Fluffy.

softer hunts are fashionable in Eng

that a sensible kind of hunt. Look
at the otter skins the girls can collect
and otter coats so fashionable now
too.
Il wouldn't mind collecting an otter
coat myself But how would you like
to belong to a sable hunt, girls, and

the skins are taken from the animals
they are so hard that they are placed

in and begins to tread on them to soft
en- them. The tub is tilted so that Mt
each step the man takes the skins
slide down the slope and are kept
moving. The man treads for hours
and hours before any pile appears.
When it begins to rise the skins are
oiled and the treading begins again.
This is continued until the skins are
as supple as chamois and the pile has
become so high that the fur has that

POLARiZED LIGHT.
Why the Rays Of the Moon May Chem.
ically Affect Foodstuffs.

Moon rays are said TO make men
go blind and mad. and to turn food
stuff bad. There is even quoted by
the London Lancet Il death the cause
of which WAS officially stated TO be
exposure TO moonlight Apparently
the food most seriously affected by the
moons radiations is fish, and seeming
y trustworthy statements have been
made as TO the III effects produced in
persons who had partaken Of fish
which had been freely exposed to
moonlight
4. G.. Bryant, writing from Port Eliz-
abeth. South Africa. suggests that q
possible explanation might lie in the
well known fact that the light OF the
moon. being reflected light, is more or
less polarized. and possibly polarlzed
light may exert peculiar chemical
action. Polarizcd light was obtained
by him from powerful metallic Ola
ment lamp the light being polarized

marked results when fsh we're submit
