Tho board of water commissioners
met last night to consider the offer of
Turner & Sprat of Sunnyside, Wash., to
furnish a flow of artesian water into the
reservoir for $3,500, conditioned on $200
being paid against expense of moving
.machinery in case of failure. Couimis-
'aioner Fish suggested that it would be
better to pay 2 a foot for 200 or 300 feet
than to pay $3,500 for what, if found at
all, will surely be found at less cost.
Tho suegestiou. was adopted so far that
a committee of three was appointed to
confer with Mr. Kretzer, who bored the
well for thu scouring mill, for the Elec
tric Light Company and the brewery.
It was stated that somo one recently
bored for water near Dr. Wingate's prop
erty on the bin fT and struck a flow at a
depth of 80 feet that rose to within 20
feet of the top. The meeting adjourned
till tomorrow night.
The Coronur'H Verdict.
Coroner Uutt's held nn inquest near
Hood liivor, yesterday, over the lema'uiB
of Chailea Grodt. Tho evidence showed
that Grodt was accidently killed while
blasting stumps. The body was found
about 80 feet frcm the stump that he
had been blowing up. Ho had been
dead for somo time and the body was
badly decomposed, but a hole through
his hat indicated that he had been
struck in the forehead. Grodt was a
single man, a native of Germany and
aged about 47 years, He was working
op his own claim and his neighbors all
testified that he was a quiet, honest and
industrious man and a good citizen.
The following is the verdict:
We, tho jury impanneled by the coro
nur to enquire into tho cause of the
death of tlio body now before us, And his
name to be Charles Grodt and that he
came to his deatli on or about April 23,
1900, by being blown up while blasting
stumps on his place about seven miles
from Hood Rivor.

Dear Sin: Will you allow us,
through your valuable columns, to cor
rect a false report which is being circu
lated throughout Wheeler county for
political purposes.
The Gilinan - French Land & Live
Stock Co. are op posed to Twickenham
for the county seat of Wheeler county,
for rearonB not necessary to state here.
This corporation haa never given any
party or parties any assurance that they
would lay out, or sell to be laid out, any
piece or parcel of land for an addition to
the town site of Twickingham. It has
no lind that it desires to sell for that
purpose.
Fossil is and should be the county
scat of Wheeler county, and we hope
and believe that at the coming June
election there will be polled an over
whelming vote for Fossil to be and re
main the county seat of Wheeler county.

New York, May 2. A Pretoria letter
to the World, dated March 23d, says:
Although the majority ot the Boers
still believe that the independence of
the Republics will remain after the war,
hundreds of them are taking the oppo
site view, and are casting ubout for a
suitable country to which they can emi
grate. State Secretary Reitz said to
day :
"If the English take these Republics
and raise tho Union Jack over them, I
will take my family to America. And
scores'of other hurgheiH havo eaid the
same thing to me. Many of the older
Boers will trek to German West Africa,
where there aro thousands of square
miles of fertile territory, and thousands
will emigrate to other countries."
An old Boer in tho Free State oevoial
days ago asked concerning the rates of
passage to America. "You see," said
lie, "we aro going to fight hard for our
country, but if it is taken away from tie,
wo want to go somewhere where there Is
a Republic."
Tho friends of President Kruger say
that if the Transvaal loses her independ
ence, he will spend tho last years of his
life in Holland or Germany,
