Mr.. Stebbins stated to the court that
the defense wished to call two witness
es for the purpose of impeaching Mrs.
Hewitt and asked permission to call
Mrs. Hewitt and ask her two impeach-
ing questions.
Mrs. Hewitt wos called by the de-
tense.
Mr.. McGill asked her: after the
death of your sister August 9th, 1915,
did you have talk with DR.. Lund-
mark and the defendant; did you say
to DR.. Landmark on that occasion you
believed your sister committed suicide
or words to that effect
NO. said Mrs. Hewitt.
Mr.. McGill: Did DR.. Landmark
at that time say to you that you had
made accusations against Mr.. McCOr-
mick that he had slowly been poison
ing his wife and that he said, if you
have any accusations to make now is
the time to make Them"

ply.

The Watching of Mccormick

Mr.. Stebbins stood up to cross eX-
anime He found that Mrs. Hewitt
started to watch Mccormick Aug. %,
1914, and she constantly continued for
more than a month. She did this as a
result of having heard something
told her by a gentleman.

The court told her to answer. Then
she said, william Smith"
She detailed more watching from
bOx-cars, of Mccormick and Mrs Coey.
The will case was brought up and
witness admitted her interest.
She sharply resented the questions
as to her being interested because her
husband owed Mrs. Mccormick $1,000
and held a mortgage on the fixtures.

WHY NOT COMPROMISE AND BUILD ONE
GOOD WATER SYSTEM?

Price will never attract the class of citizens
and home builders that every community desires
and at the same time grow to the proportions il
should attain until it has better water. This is
the main reason for the city's not having at this
time five to seven thousand population. We

This month the several cases of the city of
Price against the railroad and operating coal
companies for the alleged pollution of the waters
of the Price river, from which the city gets its
supply. are TO come up in the district court To-
cally. There will no doubt be the usual demur-
-rers, postponements and delays and appeals in
the cases, followed perhaps by endless litigation
in the higher courts Of the state. The defend
ants are not going to simply lay down.
Huge sums Of money on both sides will be
spent, enough in the end TO build pretty good
water system, not alone for Price but for Helper,
too. which also Is n party TO litigation now pend

18th, attorneys and other representatives of the

Sun believes the suits have not gone so far but
that settlement might be made out Of court that
would result in purer and better water for all.
Few Of the coal camps have the kind of water

Here. for instance. we have statement from
James w. Gerard, former ambassador TO Ger
many. saying in recent article on the affairs of
the nation 10 which he was accredited Ger
many had endeavored before the war In every
way TO keep American goods out Of the German
market" That is true and Gerard should have
known II long before he went 10 Germany. But
that did not interest him then. He was demo-
crat. and therefore. "A sort of free trader so far
as American politics go. He wanted the repub-
lican tariff barrier torn down so that German
goods could come freely into this country. The
fact that Germany had adopted protective tar
IN policy under the leadership of Bismarck way
back in 1870. did not seem 10 interest him. He
cared little what other nations did 10 us-he
wanted our markets thrown open 10 them. He
got what he wanted as also did Germany.
