NOTHING f 'any guarantees to surmount any and all difficulties at a total cost for two-fifths more water of $50,000 less than that of a system from Wasson canyon. The Wasson ainyon proposition calls for the payment of $25,000 for 300 inches. There is 160 or 170 inches flow i in the canyon. If the 'city concludes the bargain, this flow must be supplemented from the Slinger ranch from north fork of the Little Butte, and, as Councilman Eifert asserts, it will be a case of "mixed drinks" for the city at a total cost exceeding by $10,000 or more the original' bond issue of $300,000 but then, mixed drinks are the most expen sive, anyway. The fuller and freer the discussion of the water oues- tion from now on, the better, for the people who are pay ing the bills want all the information possible and will not Sllllilnif In linirirr i.iilii.ilwl 'A- , i ' t .i'"uui;u jmw any proposition wnere a minimum of water is secured at a maximum of cost, and uiu experience or near creek repeated upon a greater SCillC. DEPUTY SHERIFF DRIVEN UP A TREE BY COONS The deadlock in the city council over the choice of a water supply is primarily due to the policy of secrecy which the water committee has shrouded its actions from the start. The majority of the committee has not seen fit to take either the council or the public into confidence, and recently has not even consulted the minority of the committee. An engineer is being paid $7000 a year to rejiort upon the various propositions. What reports he lias made have been to the water committee or in the shape of interviews in The Tribune, for hoik; have been made to the council and none are on record at the recorder's office. As a result, neither the public nor the council know what the engineer thinks of the various propositions, and so are not in a position to satisfactorily pass upon the various propositions. When Engineer Kelsey was employed by the city to make a preliminary report upon the various water prop ositions, he filed an elaborate typewritten report, accom panied by maps, diagrams and photographs, detailing the merits and demerits of the various propositions then con sidered. His work was quite thorough for the length of time allowed. An exhaustive report upon the several prop ositions considered is now demanded of Kngineer Rob erts, so that council and people may know "where they are at." The chairman of the water committee states that En gineer Roberts made an adverse report on the Applegate proposition. The public has never seen this report and the engineer's interview as published in The Tribuiu his return from inspection, was most favorable to the proposition, as was his statement to Councilman Eifert on nis return iroin Jus Jirst preliminary trip of inspci tion. SAN HAFAEL, Cal., Sept. 2. Al though ho did boat to kocp tlio ntory a seorot, it leaked out toiliiy that Dep uty Sheriff Hicliard I'olustrio of Sun Hiifio county spent tlio moat of Sun day night in a tree, where ho had been driven by room that ho went out to troo. J'ohmtrie, who prides himself on be ing an amateur hunter, went out with a party of friends to hunt coons. lie waa crouehing behind a treo with a lantern and rifle waiting for tlio doim to drive tlio game in his direction. lhe hunt was siiceOHsful up to this point. The toons clime in I'oluxtrin 's direction nil right, but ono of thorn jumped into the luntern and tliin eu- rugid tho animals so that they attacked tho hunter. Ho forgot that ho was a hunter anil climbeil up tile tree as fast as he could go. The hounds picked up tho trail again and I'ohiHtrio wna rescued bv the other members of the party. OREGON CONSTRUCTION CO.

The charge was made in the council by a member of tho water committee that only one proposition Wasson canyon had had a fair hearing before the committee, which had shelved other proposals, ami circumstantial evidence corroborates this statement -for since the start the majority of the committee lias favored this proposi tion. Certainly no extended examination of other prop ositions has been attempted, or if attempted, no report of the same has been filed. It is hard for a layman to figure the interest that Ku vecn & Co., the bond buyers, have in Wasson canyon or their gratuitous advice, always on tap when the question comes up in the council, telling the city to stick to Un original plan. This concern is paid $1S,'J50 bonus for sell ing the bonds, and why it should dictate to the city how the money snoulu be spent passes comprehension, as long as a gravity system is secured, unless Nuveen & Co. is in terested in the contracting firm who expect to secure the construction of the pipeline, the American Light and Wa ter company, whom they so strongly recommended for the job. When three of the councilnien who favor Wasson can yon, first, last and all the time, failed to secure passage of a resolution favoring this source, they left the council chamber to prevent a quorum and block action endorsing any other source of supply. Is it possible that it is Was' son canyon or nothing with Messrs. Merrick, Wortman and Trowbridge, and that they would prevent the city's securing water from any source other than that chosen by thcinf Such an attempt to force Wasson eanvon 01 any other proposition will be resented by the public. Ihere are three propositions before the council, each oi wnicn uas merits and dements the Wasson eanvon the Fish Lake company ami the Sterling Mining com pany. It is the relative and comparative merits of thest three proposals that must be considered and we have t in word of a member of the water committee that neither uie risn imkc nor tlie .Applegate have received flit sideration meted to Wasson eanvon. The Pish Lake company claims the only iticontesf ible water rights in the country, it has 5000 (ir more inches stored in Fish and Four-Mile lakes, beside- the flow of the north fork of the Little Butte. The members of the water committee admitted that thev could not .lislinm.wli between the quality of its water and that of Wasson can yon. The water can be diverted at anv point alone the n earn, ami the water rigid costs $15,(100 f,. ,. -m TItL T' MiMi:,K ,',,,"l,,,y "I""" tho oldest wuU.,-1 "SSC- I- K-VXlHar Works Something which is of cousidorablo interest to the public generally and which is perhaps not generally known is the system of prepaid orders now in etTect between stations of tho Southern Pacific company and all points in the 1'iiited States.
