Ing In All Cities, With Light Forces, CITY SUFFERING FROM A SHORTAGE OF AQUA PURA. Mayor Hunt Favors a Hundred Thous and Dollar System of Water Works The Burg is irr Bad Condition, and Something Must Be Done No Water for Street Sprinkling and Lawns, and Poor Quality of the Little That Can Be Used. Walla Walla, July 14. (Special.)-- This city is now undergoing Its regu lation summer water famine. Once again has tho city council grappled with th.o problem, and last night every member had some plan to suggest by which conditions may be alleviated. Mayor Hunt declared unequivocally, that tho water In tho pumping dis trict where ho lives Is not fit to drink. He advocated bonding tho town for ?100.000, If necessary, in order to put In a good system which will furnish a permanent water supply. No matter what may bo done ulti mately, tho city fathers find them selves up against a serious proposi tion at this time. According to Coun cilman William Glasford, who has closely studied local conditions late ly, the water In the reservoir Is only about one-third as deep as it was at this time last year. It was tlnaly decided to Insert no tices In tho local papers, callng on the pcoplo to help tide over the dry period by using as little water as pos alblo for domestic purposes and none for lawn sprinkling. It Is probable that street sprinkling will havo to be discontinued. Owing to tho winds prevailing at this period of tho year and tho largo amount of dust In the streets, cutting out street sprinkling would soon place the town In lino as a rival of Tucson, Arte., for a sumroor resort.

A Sharp Curve. Between Chicago Heights and Glen wood there Is a sharp curve, and as the picnic train tore around this on the south-bound track a freight train was backing southward to the north bound track, it was partly on both tracks. The bend was so sharp that the engineer of the picnic train had no chance to see the freight before he was upon It. All passengers In the first coach were caught beneath a mass of debris and It was here the loss ot life occurred. Freight Had Had Accident. Iu explanation of the accident tho engineer and crew of the freight train say their train which was north bound, parted at Chicago Heights, and the break was not noticed until the train was near Glenwood. The en gineer knew the excursion train was coming, but believed It on the north bound track, and wbb switching bis train from the north-bound to tho south-bound track In an effort to keep out of Its way.
