They have thrown in ' with a bunch of contractors or individuals who are interested in felling steel tanks more than in the good Q f our city with its natural advantages of a splendid site for a reservoir in the hill north of town. " - After squanderirg the season and 1,000 for plans they are still considering. l- When the citizens of our town voted the bonds called for last April for a specified and implied purpose of building a reservoir on the hill north of town they didn't think of , nor ask for a steel tank , in our city. The vote was almost unanimous for the proposition as stated in the campaign for the bonds , and on everyone's tongue was the words "A RESERVOIR ON THE HILL , DUG IN THE GROUND AND LAID IN STONE AND CEMENT. " , Now , the officious soda water vender who thinks he controls public sentiment in the town and can work the people one way and another as he turns his finger or the faucet of his soda water ma- chine , wants to put up a steel tank in our city. Yes , throw away all the natural advantages of a hill near town that many cities would be proud of , yea. ; would pay thousands for , and that many cities of larger and smaller size than Valentine all over our land are using to great advantage , and what for ? TO SATISFY THE DESIGNS OF ENGINEERS OR AGENTS OR PERSONS IN- TERESTED IN THE SALE OF STEEL TANKS AND TOWERS. : To be sure there can be no great graft in a cement reservoir on the hill. The work can be done by our local men. We have both the labor and the material close at hand , excepting the ce- ment. Our people are unwilling to believe that it will cost more than a steel tank and tower , re- gardless of the superior benefits of a cement reservoir in the hill which may be increased to un- limited size and use for ages to come , and built for now and all future generati and indestruct- able as the rock of Gibralter. Fight it ? We \ can only com plain but every man in our town who drinks water should com- plain. Every child will ] } suffer from thjs failure of the town board to carry out the provisions voted for last Aprjl. f The retirement of the soda water dispenser from the town board might work'wonders in the inter- est of our people. " : \ A reservoir on the hill is what the people want and they want it done right away. -A Why should our town board pay 1,000 of our city's money to an engineer to tell us not to build a reservoir on the hill ? or that it I would cost us too much ? The 1,000 thus squandered would al - most build it. Yet here we stand idly : , waiting for men to tell us how to spend our money. : 1,000 gone ! Nothing , done ! . Considering ! ] f the soda water man will re- o sign we believe the rest of the board will go ahead and do busi- ness and build as the people have directed. The blame for delay was formerly laid on W. S. Jack- son by this officious member but he resigned for the prospects of becoming a bidder on part of the work. J. T. . . . . Keeley was appo nt- ed in his place. ; Our citizens have known little , or nothing of the : , doings of the board until recently. They say : they have rejected all bids. .

John Borman's barn at the rear of his lot on Railroad and Cherry Sts. caught fire Sunday night pre sumably from the sparks from a chimine.v during a high northwest wind. The fire soon destroyed the barn and con nts , burning a team of horses and harness belong- ing to Mr. Grogan a farmer liv- ing six miles southwest of town. A lot of household ! goods belong- ing : to Mr. Motlett who has a claim in Tripp Co. was stored in the barn and were consumed in the flames. , The city fire depart ment got out as quickly as possible I but failed to get a stream of water of sufficient force to keep down the flames. We hear that the tank was nearly empty. The summer wasted after vot ing $ ± 2000 bonds last April for a water supply , and not a shovel in the round yet. ' I have for sale 20 head of pure _ bread . .
