A LARGE SECTION of trench for the new water pipes In City Creek canyon has been dug and Contractor Moran has begun laying the pipe. The new inches in diameter, pipe is twenty-fou- r replacing the old, which is only sixteen inches. The improvement will cost about $50,000, but it is very questionable Whether at this particular time the outlay was wise. The larger pipe will not increase the citys water supply in the dry season when water is scarce, because the old pipe was of more than sufficient capacity to convey all the water of the creek into the system in the summer months, and in the other portions of the year there was ample water and to spare for all purposes. When the new pipe is laid it will be necessary to find more water in City Creek can- yon before any increase in the supply at the time it is needed can be had. It is generally believed that the $50,000 could have been spent to better advantage in increasing the supply rather than in making provision for an increase which may never be obtained from the City Creek source. Again, the pipe should have been wooden stave instead of iron. The former is more durable and 40 per cent cheaper. If Engineer Kelsey's recommendation had been adopted and wooden stave pipe used the city would have been saved $20,000, and the job would have been a better one. Kelsey was against making any change in the City Creek pipe at present, and advised expending the money in dredging the Jordan river so that the citys supply would have been largely augmented from Utah lake, which would have given immediate relief. The scheme to lay a new City Creek pipe line and to use iron pipe was forced through by Chairman Dooly of the Board of Public Works, apparently for the benefit of his friend and alleged partner, Moran, whose business does not extend to either river wooden stave pipe. dredging or laying i The retirement of Mr. Dooly from the i Ex-Ci- ty SMALLPOX THRIVES best In cold weather. During the summer months the disease entirely disappeared from Salt Lake but is now reappearing. Physicians expect a return of it this winter and predict that it will be more virulent and more general than before. The public should adopt the utmost precaution to prevent its spread, and people who have not been vaccinated should submit to the trifling ordeal at once, and thereby save themselves from falling victims to the scourge. Statistics from all over the world clearly prove that vaccination is almost a sure preventative. Prejudice should be laid aside for the general welfare of the community. THE SHORTAGE OF WATER which was experienced at the fire which occurred on State street on Wednesday is a very serious matter and ought to be looked into. At this season of the year, when water is plentiful in the creeks, there is no excuse for any shortage in the system or lack of pressure. It is a case of gross carelessness and neglect on the part of somebody which should be investigated. The big reservoir on Thirteenth East street was constructed at a cost of nearly $35,000 for the purpose of insuring a good steady pressure all over the city and as a protection against fire, and In addition to the new reservoir there are the tanks on Capital hill.

Every head was up, and for half an hour Mr. Roosevelt stayed with the boys and cheered them up, laughing and talking, complimenting and thanking, so that it would have been difficult for a stranger to have told who was the candidate and who was the scribe. -- |
