Lay New Water
Pipe on Hill

The city council has had fourteen
men at work laying 1000 feet of pipe
on Winner and Prim streets. This
pipe is part of the carload recently
received. AS fast as it is possible the
worn out pipes will be replaced by
new. Particular care is being taken
to see that the coating of preserva-
tive on the pipes is not rubbed off, as
this was given as one of the principal
reasons for pipe wearing out by the
firm which manufactures the pipe.

Fire, started by small boys playing
back of the livery barn of Darling &
Hodges in Gold Hill, Wednesday ar-
ternoon, caused the destruction of a
solid quarter of block near the main
business district, entailing a property
loss of 1000, but slightly covered
by insurance. The fire started about

Charter Amendment
Passes Five to One

The results of Mondays election
not only set at rest for all time any
doubts that might lurk in the minds
of any Of as to the present attitude
of the voters toward the springs
project or the work so far done by
the commission. The election for the
bonds carried by an so per cent ma
iority; the springs water commission
was elected by an S5 per cent major
.ty and the amendment Monday by an
SO per cent majority. This only be-
cause We have heard 1t whispered
from time to time, as the work pro-
gressed, that many things did not
meet with the approval of the people.
This settles the matter finally of the
citizens approval of the work and is
splendid encouragement to the
springs water commission.
There were 6G7 votes cast, 554 vot-
ing for and 113 against the amend
ment. The first ward went 1853 to 35,
the second 1876 to 81, and the third
2O2 to AZ. There was no special reg
istration needed for this election and
in the neighborhood of $500 voters
',e.e qualified to cast votes. The
probabilities ale that all who did not
aror tie issue voted against 1t, while
the greater portion of those who ia
vored 1t failed to vote. If all the
votes had been cast the majority
would no doubt have been closer to
20 to than to /.

Reckless Driving

Friday evening, Ezra Stone
and family came near meeting
with a serious accident on ac-
count of the reckless driving of
a man in an automobile, at Den
ming. The Stones had given
about two thirds of the road, but
it seems the automobilist wanted
it all, his machine striking the
buggy, breaking a shaft, and if
the horse had not been a gentle
one, serious runaway might
have occurred.
