CITY WITHOUT TANKS.
ILVERTON, Colorado, Is n city
without tnxes. It occupies tins
enviable position, not so much
Because of Its natural advantages
MBough It has many such but nlso
flocnuso of tho wisdom and foresight
of its pcoplo and becnuso Its omclals
liavo worked for tho pooplo, Instead
of for their own solflsh advancement.
Tho fact that Sllvcrton has no city
taxes Is duo directly to tho fact that
Sllvorton owns Its water and lighting
system. Such an Incomo Is dorlvod
from tho sale of water and light that
all the expenses of tho municipal gov
ernment aro met In that manner.
And water and light, though car
rying tho ontlro burden of tho city, Is
not expense. Small consumers of
fcloctrlclty pay only 7 1-2 cents per
kilowatt hour; larger consumers pay
as llttlo as C cents.
It costs n man $8 per year for
water for an eight-room house, nnd
an oxtra dollar for each additional
Tooin ho may add to his house.
Of course Sllvorton Is most advan
tageously situated, as rogards both
wator nnd power. Lofty mountains
tIso nil about tho city. Water nnd
powor nro right In tho city's back
yard. It cost but llttlo to build a
.siualclpnl water nnd lighting system.

Rut It's only tho thomns cnt. Ho

GANDERBONE'S FORECAST
OCTOMER.
A scone at Armageddon,
A warrior In tin,
And every now and then a shout
Emerging from the din.
Somo folks fancy Woodrow,
And others fancy Dill,
And others still for Thoodoro
Aro very hopeful still.
A tnblo nnd a pitcher,
A spanker on his perch,
And here and thcro somcono asleep
The snmo as In n church.
Tho miracle of party,
And tho porfldy of doubt,
With tho UBiinl statistics
Till tho watchman puts him out.
A woman with n banner,
Anothor with a drum,
And another with a curtain polo
Revolving on hor thumb.
Somo folks say It's nothing,
But others think It Is,
And llko as not It won't bo long
Till mnn Is getting his.
Tho bull mooso nnd tho donkoy,
Tho clophnnt, tho zoo,
Tho trusts against tho pooplo,
And tho fnlsc against tho truo;
But do not got excited,
Or tnko it vory hard,
For they'll all Ho down togothor
In tho snmo barnyard.

Wo'ro having ono perhaps tho first

Little Talks on the High Cost of Living
SURELA
Tho prosont high cost of living Is In part tho result of spending our mo
ney unwisely. Things which woro considered ns luxuries n fow years
ago, nro now rognrdod by ninny ns necessities. If wo would ro.lucn thn
present high cost of living wo must lenrn to discriminate between roil
necessities nn.l luxuries. Romonibor, we MUST spend money for necessi
ties; wo SHOULD spond It for wlso Investments; wo MAY spond it for
Pleasure, but when wo spend It for a homo In RERIIAM PARK wo spond
It for nil threo.
