THE SPECIAL CITY ELECTION.
An election of great moment' to
the future prosperity of this city will
be held in City Racorder Tag; arts
office from 1 until 7 o'clock next Sat
urday.
While the election is for the ex
press purpose of amending the citj
charter, so that an affirmative ma
Jorlty will hereafter be sufficienl
to carry a bond election. It is per
fectly understooj that the vote Sat
urday is a test of public sentiment
on the water works question. Those
who are in favor of a city owned
gravity water system will vote foi
the amendment. Those who are not
will vote no on their ballots next
Saturday.
The News Record believes a first
class system of water works is r
vital factor in the growth of the city;
there can be no real advance made
without it. Nearly every man whe
has come into the vallev durinsr the
last year looking for Investment, af
ter praising this town. Its location
as a trading point, its position neai
the center of the county and its re
sources, has nut in an "if" or s
but" about' our having poor watei
or no adequate system of watei
works.
When the time comes for the lo
cation of . faotorlas here that objeo
tion will be raised more and morn
and Just as sure as fate will pre
vent the establishment of factories
unless a first class system Is in
stalled.
Nearly every industry that would

naturally locate here, requires pure
water and plenty of it.
The hundred and one arguments
in favor of a. first-claa
water works are too well known tc
need repetition. Being without, haf
taught everyone in Enterprise the
disadvantage of no city water.
The News Record has consistently
stood for the installation of a first
class, city owned water works sys
tem. It has also been In favor of a
compromise with the owners or the
present system as long as there was
any hope for that. Now, when the
only possible basis of agreement, ar
bitration, has been rejected, there is
nothing to do, as far as we can see,
except for the city to go ahead and
put in a system.
What is that system and its Drob-
aoie cost? Will It raise taxation
and if so will the Increased taxes be
offset by benefits? Is there an alter
native way?
While the preheat council Is not
on record for any particular source
of supply the Individual members
are known to be In favor of a gravity
system taken from a source that is
at once ample and perfectly pure.
The question of source will come up
in the election to follow this, when
the council will ask authority to seli
bonds to install the system. It is
sufficient now to know that the coun
llmen are well aware that the future
jupply of water will come from up
Wenatchee creek, three mlle3 east ol
that on Grouse creek, for the last
five days and every effort to stop il
has been a failure. The undergrowth
and fallen timber Is so densa that it
Is Impossible to check Its rapid ad
vance; It was on the east side of the
creek until today the east wind has
driven it on to the west side and
it Is creating quita an excitement
among the farmers on the upper
Grouse flats. If the ea3t wind con
tinues to blow for 36 hours the fire
will be driven right into the farms.
Every farmer in the country was
working in the harvest but they left
their binders and other machinery
standing in the fields and went to
fight the rapidly advancing flames.
The wheat crop Is much better
than It was thought to be before har
vesting commenced. The cold, back
ward spring followed by a continuous
drouth made our people feel rather
blue for a time but things look more
favorable than was expected. The
corn crop and gardens will be short.
The fruit crop is good.
