CofnmlBHloner Wolch hns a plan which ho will propose to the City Council In tho near, future whereby ho thinks tho city will bo assured of nn adequate supply of water. Tho city now owns a big pump with a capacity or 2100 gallons a mlnuto, Tho auxiliary pump In tho south part of thoCIty Is to semi out 000 gallons a mlnuto. Tho plan ia to Install two moro pumpB at tho wator station, each having a capacity of 1050 gal lons a minute. Tho total will thus bo over five thousand gallons a minute. The normal consumption on an ordin ary summer day wbuld bo about 4C00 gallons. Ihht luiYcs a good margin, It also provides for an adequato sup ply of wator hi caso tho big pump' wer to break down and It gives nn op portunity to "rollovo the strain on tho big pump when noccsary. Curb parking went Into operation Monday morning with no hitch and no trouble. OcnuRlnnAllv-. n. driver slopped at his 'tilt! stand fn tio con- j tor or no street out no qnipitiy stcp-i cd on tho proper stepper arid pulled' over ;,fo tho curb. One man told us tbat ho was sent down town early this morning to got two dollars worth oLu certain kind of staple dry goods, Ho slopped iu front of a storo but was informed that tho owner did not want anyone to park there no ho went qn up tho Btrcot and parked In front of another storo whero ho bought tho required goods and went home. This mny bp an extreme case but It was given to uh an a fact. While tho Tribune editor Is aware of corlaln Inconveniences and somo strong arguments against curb parking, bo Is in favor of giv ing it a thorough trial for sevoral months before taking a positive stand against It. lilHowhoro wo publish a call for a Democratic City convention. At tbc time of writing this wo have not had a call for tho Republican caucus but wo understand ono is to bo called. Tho whole movement In American municipal politics In recent years has been away from domination by thotijtjlonal parties. The national parties have nothing In como'n with local politics. Such caucuses do not give' tho independent volor of tho Aty a chance at nominations. It puts tho"wholo matter Into tho bands of tho politicians. And the politici ans have, not mado a shining success of 'cTty politics In this country. Wo claim, to bo Independent of any political parly. Wo expect to cover the caucuses as a newspaper nlaujtoj. we. do" not sco how wo could cotMst&ntly 'o 'Into either convon- tlqjpfld tnkoigMrt in 11b dollbora- Mcplfy Jkoftherll have a platrorm; noltfiefTCan claim any command or tho Jmjal situation because of Us na tional achievements. Each party has a local organization but so have the Odd Follows und tho Baptists and tho Twentieth Century Club. The At The SUN, IVTainnA 01 R n m anrl ifl A n M t JL W JLJ ill V W All! THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. AFORTUNE AND A GIRL Elks might put up a candidate for Mayor, elect him and lie might give us a good administration but wo would not be satisfied, with tho method. Many cities .would resent tho interference (of tho Republican party or tho Democratic party in tho affairs of the city as much as thoy would rosent tho Interference of the Catholics or tho Metliddlsts. Tho plan lias been discarded and North Platte should got away from It as soon as possible. ' Hut tho caucuses have been called Wo have decided on that method of nominations and ovory citizen who claims to havo a preference for cither party should bo on hand at tho appointed time and placo and tako his or her part in tho business of the convention. It Is probable that good candidates will be selected but It Is not'certaln and unless good men aro put up It will bo the busi ness of tho respectable element of each party to see that good men are named otherwise. ::o::- -'hcllichest Prospector iruAIaska , and the Wolf Pack of Wall Sfcreeb in a Death Grapple for Them!
