Sam Fife sprung one of these by bounding from third place to the bead of the race for the suit of clothes. Frank Wood is again down to third, and will have to hurry unless he wants to be "spiked by Marion Millett, who is beginning to throw dust in all directions. MISS WATSON STILL LEADS. Miss Ora Watson of Parowan is sf ill the favored candidate for the prize organ, aud while there has been a lull this week in her count, she has still added more votes than any other candidate for first prize. Miss Mary Ann Parry of Cedar City made a slight gain on Miss Fawcett of St. George, both of whom added some votes.

In years ruat me people used to have the privilege of working their water taxes and it was not a hardship for them to do pc' hut as time rolled on and different men got at the helm, in ruling our city' affairs a change was wrought and now tho majority pay their water taxes in cash at $1.50 per day. 1 do not wisb'to find fault with our city fathers as I think they have done as they thought was best, but the p an of cash payments is a burden the people should not be compelled to bear unless they refuse to do the work after due notice nas been served on them to go and do tho labor that is needed. Why not go back to orginal principles and give the' people a chance to work their water taxes? While the people pay 81.50 per day as a water tax I understand that the watermaster rocioves $2.00 per day to do the work that the people pay for. Now if this is true where does the extra 50 ceuts per day come from to pay the watermaster? Or does ho do less days work .than the people pay for in order to make ends meet? Who can anwsor?
