particular, further than to recon-
mend the one which is the best for
the city to secure as a source of a
water supply. No special attention
will be paid to any favored project
of any past or the present admins
tration. 1t was the instruction of the
city commissioners that the engineer

times taking into consideration the
element of giving the people of Tulsa
the best that was to be obtained.
The report Of Mr.. Stevens will be

approximate cost Of the several
projects, work which the engineer
| is particularly fitted to carry out,
| having given many years to this
work. He is considered one of the
leading engineers of his line In the

VIII Lose Seats IT rhcy Answer Call
to Fight for Uncle sam.

WASHINGTON. June 30.-In re-
porting It's decision that members Of
congress who enter the federal serv-
ice with the national guard will lose
their seats. the house judiciary COM
mittee cited many laws and prece-
dents and reached this conclusion:
1T follows that the seats of those
representative who accept comn-ls-
sions in the national guard under the
army reorganization act will at once
become vacant. The only action
necessary would be to declare such
vacancy by resolution as 4 matter of
convenience and to aid the speaker
and others in discharging their public
duties. 1t would not change the legal
effect Of accepting such an office in
tho national guard"
