Bessemer July t6-(Special) )-The two arbitrators selected to set price on the water works to be purchased by the city from the Alabama Water Com pany will call in a third arbitrator, according to Mayor B. c. Jones, who has just returned from conference in Cincinnati, where ]. F. Cannon of Sheffield represented the city and Nicholas Hill of New York represented the water company.
 Mr. Burns of Chicago was agreed upon by the two arbitrators, and an- other conference will be arranged in which the three arbitrators will meet
 to fix the price to be paid for the plant and equipment of the water works. The two representatives in the transaction
 were rather widely separated in their appraisal of the property. according to the statements made to Mayor Jones and no agreement could be reached without the services of third arbi- trator.
 The contract between the city and
 the Alabama Water Company calls for three arbitratorS to fix the price of
 the property, but it was thought that a representative for the city and one for the water company would be able to get together on the price, and the third man could be dispensed with, but at the first meeting no agreement could
 be made. The option on the plant will expire September 30, and the price must
 be fixed at an early date to allow the city officials to decide upon the pur- chase and to refer the matter to the voters of the city.
 Rev. F. H. Hutchison will use as his subject at the Sunday morning service at the First Christian Church, "The Palm Tree Christians" At the union service at the park he will preach on the subject, 'One Thing Thou Lackest.' Bible school at 9:45 a. m Christian Endeavor at ?. m.; special

We are very happy to reach the

Towards its sunny days and the splen-

the trend of the human race. Fas-
cinated by its prairieA, its craggy
mountains, crowned with alabaster
snow and kissed by the summer sun,
they pilgrimage their way, that they
may drink from its fountains, fish
and bathe in its streams, scale its
mountains ana deeply inhale its rari-
fled air, which has been purged and
sterilized in the laboratory of the
mountains thousands of feet above
the dead level of the sea.
Colorado is the heart of the West
around it are clustered all the states
of the Union, yet none can compare
with it in life-prolonging ozone, sun
shiny days and the astounding and
bewildering glory Of its natural seem
cry. Its mountains have hearts Of
gold, down its gourges pour foun-
tains Of living water, in its quiescent
lakes sport fish of every specie and
upon its broad immeasurable prairies
we hear the lowing of millions OF
cattle and the hleating Of ten thou
sand thousand sheep, while its agri-
cultural achievements are beginning
to start the admiration Of the world.

Signs New High
School Teachers

The alterations in the County High
School have been completed and the
plans will be available for contractors
Saturday. The work will be under
way by July 25. Wilson 4 Wilson
architects have been working early
and late to get the drawings and speci-
fications ready for the contractors.
While in Denver, Prof. Rowland
was signing up teachers. Seven are
needed for the High School next year
Some idea Of the difficulty in secur-
ing teachers may be had when it is
understood that there are five Of the
largest agencies in the Y. s. in Den
yer with teachers registered from all
over the U. s. Prof. Rowland spent
six days going from one agency to
another wiring. writing and interview
ing possible applicants. Five of the
teachers have been hired and the re,
manning two will be decided upon in
a few days.
Many schools are without teachers
and are unable to get them to sigr
up. The fact that the Sedgwick
County High School is live and
growing Institutions helps more in
getting teachers to sign than salary
IF our high school secures full
corn of teachers for next year We
will be fortunate indeed.

the local fishermen it has the apper-
ancS Of being the case Of lot OF

Of the country who desire to enjoy

According to information we have
received from reliable sources it seems
that a few years ago ten Of the Ster-
ling followers of Isaac Walton en-
desvored to lease the North Sterling
Reservoir for their own private use
but the stockholders or directors in
this reservoir refused them lease
and being unable to have what they
desired there they do ncs want anyone
else to have the right to lease any
fishing grounds. 1t is believed here
that through their inability to OBJ
tain this lease they have created a
sentiment in Logan county that the

no legal right to enjoy exclusive fish
