SUMMERVILLE
W. J. Church was last night elect
ed secretary of the irrigation com
pany during a meeting of the direc
tors, President Walter M. Pierce pre
siding. It was decided to take the mat
ter of "District Irrigation" up with the
( people who are to be interested And
ascertain - their faith in the sceme
The old individual corporation plan
will be abandoned If possible and the
new directorate will follow out the
plan advanced by President Pierce,
and outlined In the Observer a few
days ago. One of the most concise
statements of what the district
Irrigation scheme is. Is set out in "Ir
rigation Bonds," a publication deal
ing with bonds and finance. "
How District Plan Works
Muicipal Irrigation District Bonds
rm Irrigation bond lannari hv organ
ized districts very similar, to school
districts, for. the, purpose of purchas
ing or constructing Irrigation sys
tems for their own use.' The bond
Issue must be approved by a major
ity of the resident free holders In the
district who have paid taxes the pre
ceding year. The procedure Is qultf
similar to that of a school district if
suing, bonds to construct a, school
house or a municipality, issuing" the
bonds to purchase or construct a
city water plant. The bonds then be
come a municipal obligation, consti
tuting a first lien on all town and
farm properties Included in' the dis
trict. . '
.- ''The Interest on the bonds and
the maturing bonds, are paid through
the County Treasurer's office by a
tax levied in the regular way. , ThiB
tax Is , usually , levied for about 15
per cent in excess of requirements
so as to provide for a possible delin
quencies. The value of such bonds
as with all municipal securities, de
pends on the population of the dis
trict and on the value of the prop
erty subject to tax Hen. Many of
them belong among the highest grade
of municipal securities. i

Dispute over a cab faro In London

opportunity for playing a grim Joke at

unfortunate possessor of a "glass eye,

passed perilously near, be suddenly
pulled out and thrust In cabby's
face. ."You rascal," he vociferated,

HEBE'S 8AM LANGFORD'S
. - TIP ON BIQ FIGHT
Why not take a real live hunch
on the big fight from a man who
knows? Let's get right on this
Jeffries-Johnson affair. The way
to do. this is, Jo peruse the ulti-
macum or one samuei iangrora,
, who plays the role of general
reducer of fight championship
aspirations. Samuel recently is
sued a statement ' Iff" which he
offered to fight anybody .In the
world, with the sole exception
of James J. Jeffries.
"That Mlstah Jeff he ain't no
man; he's Just a big train, and '
he's going to run over ennybody
't tries to hoi him back," said
Langford when asked about the
matter. ' . , s
.- 'But v how , about Johnson?
was the query to him.
"Honey, he's Jest mah meal
ticket If I can get that big
moke In front of me I'll knock
him clear out of the moving pic
tures. Yas, suh, I will. I know,
'cause I met him once."
If there Is any better line on
the matter than this it has yet
, to be dqg up. Langford's un
: conscious tip on the big mill Is
surely not biased. He can whip
' Jack, but nothing doing with
' Jeff. ; '' ' ' ,l ' .

How Tommy Lostcat i
Was Found
" . -r . Out Jumped Tommy Lostest
OW, children," said daddy, -rm going to tell yen a little scare tale.
bat don't get frightened, because It will end all right. It's bout
Tommy Lostcat Mr. McFudge's folks had a big black cat that was
very cute. . He could do all sorts or tricks. 'and he knew how to tell
the time of day. Anyhow, he always knew exactly when mealtime came,' Just
as Jack does. Tommy ran around a great deal, but he always got back home
Just In time for dinner, and the folks always fed him from a plate on the
floor. - . . '.' ' J : ;..-y .
"Well, one day Tommy didn't come home to dinner, and all the folks won
dered where he was. Tm sure he's been runhed over and killed by a norto
tnobeel,' said the littlest girl, who loved Tommy very much. 'He must be a
dead cat,' said Mr. McFudge, 'or he'd never stay away at dinner time.
"Just then, while all the family was beginning to eat dinner and was feel
ing mighty sad about Tommy, there was a weak cat wall from somewhere,
though nobody could see a cat Meouwr it Bald, and then after a little while
It said 'Meouw' louder, then still louder, and then the cat voice got weak
again, till they didn't hear It at all. : i . ,
"The folks looked at each other and wondered where the cat voice came
from. 1 know said the McFudge boy Tommy's dead, and that's his ghost
voice.' That night at supper time the family heard the cat voice again. First
It sounded awful loud and seemed to be very close. After a little while it
sounded low, as If It was away off aomewhere. ' j .
"They looked everywhere, but couldn't find any cat Next morning whent
they sat down to breakfast they heard the same cat voice. Now it seemed to
be right over their heads, and then It would come from some place near the
sideboard. Mr. McFudge moved the sideboard, but no cat was behind it.
"'Well,' he said, 'If Tommy's a dead rat
Meouw-wow-wowr said the voice, real sudden and loud, and Mr, McFudge
jumyru Ui uu Buiu to urn son, -et me the hatchet and saw 'What are you
going to do, par asked Mrs. McFudge. I'm going to cut a hole in the wall,
so Tommy Lostcat can get out I think he's gone down to the cellar and
climbed up between the planks and the plaster and couldn't get out . '
"So he cut a hole In the wall near where they last heard the cat's voice,
and out Jumped Tommy Lostcat very thin and scared looking, but ready for
his breakfast. ; He had been climbing around Inside the hollow wall." -
