Acrimonious remarks and verbal
pyrotechnics resulting from a resolu
tion introduced at the council meeting
Monday asking congress to set aside
the township in which the source of
the city ’s water supply is situated, in
dicated that the citizens o f the city
are not a unit on the proposition.
When the resolution came up for a
vote, Alderman Wallace explained that
when up for election he had stated that
he was for the city’s water supply
first and was defeated on that proposi
tion. He therefore asked to be ex
cused from voting as he could not vote
in accordance with the apparent wishes
of his constituents.
This statement called from Alderman
Martin the statement that unfair
means were used in the defeat o f Mr.
Wallace.
The resolution was passed and will
be forwarded to Representative Haw
ley and Senators Bourne and Chamber-
lain and all others where it is thought
it will do any good. The resolution
was brought up by reason of the fact
that it is understood that the township
in question has been filed on for log
ging purpose:.
Birds Are Tame.
George Dorris says that the Reeves
pheasants recently liberated on the
state preserve just south of town are
becoming so domesticated that he feeds
them at the usual feeding time. The
Golden pheasants, although somewhat
wild, are still making the Dorris farm
their home, and it is safe to say that
within a few years these beautiful
game birds will have multiplied beyond
the fondest hopes of those who were
instrumental in obtaining the birds.—

The annual tax levy for 1913 will be

desire on the part of the council to
wait for a decision of the supreme
