XM flrVt had him assistant mayor, thin
mayor, and now yes neve him iditor of
tba News.
I'll liet that t)io wather company
chanfa their plans before llliction day.
Thin ptutt will that oom-i-tee and De-
mosthinus do wid the pumping plant?
I'll het tin clnti the company will boon
tlui pint of layin pipM from the Wist
h'ark av Hood rlvM to town to hrin all
kinds av river wather for half av the
cltiSSOS, and they will say the com-itees
report wan oidy a joak (on the civic

tant bi.niz in the laHt tree iiioiiIIih for
that law imnyho. 1 till ye, bfl bM a
long head; tliev only tool him once in
about tree montiii.
GiBtilmin, phut is the mather wid
yez? There was foive cases av tiphoid
faver laHt wake anil one death.
And still yes staml or sit arronnd anil
all ye. io is to say, "It is too baud, too
baud! Tliu Lord givith and the Lord
taki'th away." But the watlier com
puny and the banker intU'isted hart and
the hank Inttriited In Portland, moat be
protictid, avin il they lie Mllln wather
tbot is condiuicd by the state lioard av
hilth, and iviiybody thinks is the cause
of those faver cases, and avin if half av
ye, lose some av yer family.
Yes had a big (right fast year whin
the prisnlint of the wather company
offered $200 raward for null and wiry
one ol the council who said the watlier
was impure, and ltO for anny citizen
who said the walher was impure, pro
vided he bad stuff so they cud OOlUot
1300 (Mm him; and a lot of yez braave
min was skaared til yez hardly dare say
"top av the marnin til ye." whin matin
a naabor, and now they till us by their
orators that it don't make anny differ
inceifthe paple put in laity springs,
the company ami the bondholders are
goto to put in dart sand tillered wather
and sill it to hall av the paple at grately
replied prices, and ye, can't caary the
Miction tor they and some of tlm bank
ers want lit ye..
Now, byes, stop and consider pbare
yez are al, and put shape we are all in
wliin there is Mttytblng found wrong
wnl the wuthur and ve. raise anny oh
Jiction on account of yez family. Yez
are thritined wid prosecution, and if
tlie city othnrilies say one worrid they
are thritined. I'hin the state board av
hillki report the walher unlit for douiiN
tic me, thin someone has put up a job
on 1 1 i in i , (avin if the wather company
did have sampils of wather sent I nun
The Dalles, Portland and Oregon City).
Now afther the watlier lias run trOO
(roin 100 fate to f miles av sand and
ejavil and comes out dare and contam
inated, we are tntild they intiud to run
it troo a sand filter and rectify it or pur
ify it, in tln mane time the paple kape
on oiling the walher and the faver
kapes on, too. Ve. are all hilplis and
will lie hilplis tili vez vote to put in a
municipal plant. Thin, and no till
thin will the city have control of ami
can kape our waiiier in a good unitary
condition. The past rioord shows the
authority the city has wid a private
corporation. They turn the ditch wa
ther, mixed with the Upper Indian
crick wather intil a reservoir, and tile
drains and takes it rite into the city,
and vez all know the result. I he state
Hiiird said it uint to he stupid. The
ity authorities said stop il, and there
yez are notion doin. Uiiy the prisi
dint and officers of the wather company
thritin to bolllct large sums of money
from the ctty for litting their wather
heroine contaminated before It gits to

Ointilmin, yez can't control the wa

l'hat is $'.10,000 to wan loife? l'hat
will the list be by the toiuie a plant i nn
1st huildid and shtart now. The Lord
only knows. Iviry man that voted
furninst pure watlier will have to ac
count for it, and iviry wan who advised
or hired, or skeered anny man or min to
vole furninst pure watlier, has it placid
to his or her account to lie sittled on the
day of rii kining. They desarve no more
marcy than they gave the hilplis wim-
min and oulldber.
Be the powers of our Losd, min, do
yez think mire of them shylarks than
yea do of the women and childher in
our homes? In this mather they are at,
jvz marcy. The good Lord lias lilt
them in yez care and trust. Will ve.

(if these men, lr. ltrosius was elected
and he has kept bis promise as a man.
In a careful, conservative way be has
observed bis promise. Is it unfair to
now ask the other men, even though
not elected, to keep the pledges they
then made.' Certainly they would never
stoop to such a low level as to make
such a promise to the citieus of Hood
Itiver without sincerely intending to
carry it out. Kvery one of I hem men of
high and noble character, and men act
ing 011 such a plane do not change their
convictions over the small "tempest in
a teapot" of a (ity election.
No man acting out of the line of sim
ple truth and rigid honesty can long
retain the respect of his fellow man
these 11. en ought, tbeielore, to rejoice
that the coming cltv election on Nov. 1.
will give them the lull and free oppor
tunity to carry out their voluntary pill
lie confession. I for one shall expect t

voting as thev promised to do.
