Next Tuesday is the day for adop tion or rejection of our proposed new city charter. There seems to be very little opposition never-the-less prac tically this same charter was defeated simply because a great many voters did not turn out, thinking there was no question but what the charter would pass. The charter In this elec tion is really ?( minor Importance. Upon the adoption t)r rejection of this charter means the completion or the abandonment of the Beaver Creek wa ter project. The city has secured the approval of the government in the Betting aside of the Beaver Creek wa ter shed. We have len attempting to secure this water for the paBt three years. t!f this ctiarter fails to receive the approval on Tuesday, it means the people' do not want this mountain drinking' water and will let the op portunity go by that will be regreted later on. Let there be a large vote turned out. Let every citizen assume his portion of responsibility and then what ever may result it cannot be said a small clique dominated. We have had no more important election for a long time, much more than who 1b to be mayor or marshal). m . Notice of Impounded Stock.
