While I he tirade is being constructed we would like to arrange a temporary crossing little south of present crossing, which for a few weeks, with the little travel on this cross-road, would not seriously inconvenience the public. ' We therefore petition your honorable honor-able body to grant us the rijiht to construct under-head crossing, on this cross road: and request permission per-mission t.o arrange for temporary crossing while grade is being built.

Chairman Huntington from the committee on irrigation made a verbal report on the south Held cl ist ri-t. Hy direction ef the council, he went next day after he had received instructions and visited the larger part of the. people there and also made notes from the water-master's water-master's note book. He found some fields of beets which were very much in need of water, but not so much ground suffering from a lack of water as was generally believed. Grain was fast the need of water, and consider-in? consider-in? the scarcity -4t- tlw water, the crops were generally in faircoDdition, and the 1 tnd which it would be given the same right away. He had inst meted the head watermaster to furnish that district with a little more water. The committee has not deliberated upon making any further cut in that district. The watermaster reported that, wat r is rapidly failing, and especially so within the ,at few days. As to culling otT all lands from l3S2t.otlie present, if the council would order the same it would make the matter all right. If the cut was made a good many people would go dry. but he thought it would be best to in ike the same. Mauir Hall siid he had see u the city at torney who advised that the city should protect all the priority claim. The city should have a better system. E.ich couacil debates it and then lets the water ouestion goby. Prior rights must lie protected. As representatives of the people, the council must do the best it can.

Watermaster Bird says the city st reams are altogether too small, and they cannot be increased until the cut is made. If the matter remains as at present it will take thirty days to make t he rounds. Councilor Reynolds thought the only intelligent view t.o take would be to make the cut from and he made a motion to that effect. The motion was seconded. Councilor Huntington wanted it understood that when the cut was made that it was so made by order of the council and not by the committee on irrigation, nor by the water-master. water-master. The mayor said the committee could not make the cut, ami that if marie at all it must be made, by the council. Councilor Huntington said the ordinance read that when the water supply is not sufficient the water-master water-master should recommend the cut. He favored the cut, and asked that all might agree as to the method of making the same. Upon being voted on, the motion prevailed that the cut lie made from 1882, and the watermaster was so instructed. Councilor Storrs from the committee com-mittee on public improvements reported re-ported on tha condition of the stray pound. According to the ordinance governing the same, section 113, page 47, the poundtnaster was supposed to keep the sain? in repair. Some improvements im-provements had been made, but the corral was not in good shafe to re- ! tain stock. By reason of the committees' com-mittees' understanding of the ordinance, ordin-ance, it had no recommendation to make. Mayor Hall thought it would be unjust to expect the poundmaster to keep the stray pen at his individual expense. We could no more expect it than that the marshal should ! build a place in which to keep prisoners. prison-ers. Councilor Reynolds thought there was not enough in it for the pound-master pound-master to be expected to do the same, and it would under such circumstances circum-stances be hard to get anyone to accept ac-cept the losit.ion. He. was in favor of the committee building a city corral this fall when the city had more money at its disposal on one of the city's lots. Councilor Huntington had measured mea-sured the lot for the purpose of making mak-ing an estimate as to the length of fencing it would take, and said it would be about thirty four rods. The. matter was referred back with instructions to furnish the necessary repairs till this fall. Mack Dougall appeared before the council and said that upon the east bench, that he had water for his lu-cernonJunef lu-cernonJunef and ( and not again until July 31st, and by reason of which he had suffered damage, and if the council would now settle for the same he would take one-half the value val-ue of what might have been secured had lie been given sufficient water. He estimated that the loss would be about ten loads of hay. Mayor Hall suggested that the petitioner pe-titioner (lie his claim in writing. The time had now passed when water would do his crop any good, and said it could not now be remedied bv giving him more water. Edwin Lee also appeared with a complaint. A piece on John Lee's ground has not this year had a ticket. The apple trees were suffering for water and the fruit was now dropping drop-ping on the ground, and declared that some one .would hate to pay for the loss. He had spoken to the watermaster the other morning. Watermaster Bird said that Mr. Lee knew when his turn came to take water, but had neglected to apply for the same. He had not asked for water until it was too late. In'the past years Mr. Cox had asked for tickets on the lot in tjucstion but this year had apparently not wanted w liter. iREAT CliERRlNG S Commencing August Str- antl continuing till August 20. PRIGES GUT During tlie above - mentioned da ten at H. J. Sl :anisli Lee: "Mr. Cox never paid a water tax on this lot and bad never drew the t ickets." Watermaster: ''That is no excuse. Mr. Lee knew when the water was due for that lot and should have asked for a ticket at the proper time." Watermaster: "The gentlemen might have inquired." Thomas Mendenhall had seen in The Independent a statement that James Dingerfleld and others had petition pe-tition to have certain waters ?of Spring creek returned to them and wanted to know wnat the council had clone in the matter. - , 'Councilor Huntington stated he could make a partial report. He had talked the matter over some. Councilor Loyn 1 hid been away. The petitioners were formeily users of the water, but it was now so late in the season, and the tickets were already all nut, that the committee thought it best to not now make any cha nge this season. Mr. Mendenhall just wanted to know, and would like to be present if any action was taken. The watermaster asked to have some water tickets printed as he was about out of i he same. The request was granted and the clerk instructed to secure I he same. The quest ion of water tanks from which the street sprinkler is supplied was referred to the commit tee on public works with permission to use its best judgment as to enlarging the pipe or lowering the tank.

If people have not seen that wonder of the age, the world's fair, then they should not fail to see the Transmissis-sippi Transmissis-sippi exposition at Omaha. It will repay them for what they missed in not seeing the treat Chicago exhibi The Greatest Thing on Earth In Shoe s Irvine & HfiE AID SLASHED Korlv. Utah, tion. If tlwhave seen the world's fair, there is all ihe more reason that they should go to Omaha, and in that "enchanted city"' live over again the delights of the days spent in the ''white city" on Lake Michigan. You are all going to take a summer vacation, vaca-tion, and Omaha and the exposition should be the alpha and omega of all your plans and journeyings. You will never regret it, for your vacation will be marked with a white stone in Biemory's fondest recollections. From the moment of rounding the curve that reveals, upon a bluff overlooking the Missouri, the domes and spires of the imperial city, its beauties enchant and delight. Mot only does the peerless peer-less beauty of sculpture and carving, the majesty of pillars aud statuary, delight you, but the whole grand scheme, from the court of honor, the colonnades, the lagoon, to each separate sepa-rate building, one is fairly overawed with the splendor of all. Thehoi ti-culiural ti-culiural building with its superb architecture, the administration, the various stale buildings, as well as the curious foreign buildings, will never lie forgotten. And when the visitor tlnally sees the whole magnitlcent imperial city lighted at night vvnh thousands upon thousands of iuean-descnts iuean-descnts that will vary in the rainbow hues of an cveiehanging kaleidoscope when with "ihe drip of silver fountains" foun-tains" there shall come forth the flash of myriads of radiant eolois, all mingling min-gling with the scents of Arabyand the music of Gods, it will seem to his enchanted vision like the dear old Arabian nights come to life again. AU : IN A LOO'S PROTEST. The Mew York Journal prints a cablegram from Hongkong, purporting purport-ing to give the text of a message sent by Aguinaldo, the Philippine insurgent insurg-ent leader, to Consul General Wild-man. Wild-man. The message is dated Carite, July 30, and in it Aguinaldo says it has been reported that he "is getting the big head and not behaving," as he promised Mr. Wildmati. "Hi reply," says Aguinaldo, "I ask why should America expect me to outline mv policy, present and future, fu-ture, and tight blindly for her interests, inter-ests, when America will not be frank with me? Tell me this: Am I fighting fight-ing for annexation; protection or independence? It is for America to say, not for me. I can take Manila, as I have done everywhere else, but what would be the use? If America takes Manila I can save my men and arms for what tho future has in store, for me.

The Hongkong correspondent of the Daily News says: The prospect of America abandoning thy Philippines has well-nigh brought on a panic.

Mr. Wiidman, the I'liited Slates consul, has replied to Aguinaldo as follows: "Trust to the honor and the justice of the Tnited States, and let nothing interfere with the tlrst task of throw ing otT the Spanish yoke. 1 believe in you, and do not disappoint me."
