A. P. Lenhart, president of the city commission, and his fellow members of the board made it plain that they desire a complete city owned water works plant whose efficiency and success no private utility can mar or impede. It is a wise precaution to consider carefully the type of pumps and engines to install for Bismarck is not acting for today but for several decades ahead. If expensive pumping equipment can be eliminated at the pump house und eamer employed to boost pressure at the hydrant that is the action to take. Commissioner Henzler’s position is logical as is City En- gineer Atkinson’s in urging adequate fire protection under the new water system plans. Now that the city is to operate its-own plant, it is necessary to work out a plan that will protect the water consumers against excessive pressure against their plumbing. The only solution now seems to be the purchase of adequate equipment at an actual saving to the city in expensive fire pumps at the:river which will not give the efficiency a fire engine will. After the announcement of Mr. Lenhart at yesterday’s session there should be no further controversy over the in- stallation of a city owned power plant as an integral part of the water works system. If it costs Bismarck as much to generate the power as the Hughes Electric company offers to supply current, it would be better for the city to do the job itself so as to be free from state interference. Mr. Hughes knows that under the.present law he cannot make any contract with the city without the approval of the state commission. If is sub- terfuge of the most apparent kind for him to offer a rate lewer than what the state commission has fixed compen- s Talk of putting up a bond'is immate: uso and ide the point for no bond will protect the city against state interference. These attacks merely seek to defeat complete city ownership of the water works system to pro- tect the private interests of one corporation. At present, there is a strong demand for the city to light its own streets and public buildings by installing two units of Diesel engines. Th is no question but what the city can save $1,000 a month for the taxpayers by so doing, but there is a disposition to move slowly in this matter in estab- hshing one unit for pumping the water to ascertain beyond a doubt what the actual cost in fact will be. If the economy is as great as anticipated then will be the time to install the other unit to take on the additional load. If the local power utility continues to throw obstacles ‘in the way cf complete city ownership of the water systentf the reaction will be so strong that the city commission will be asked to take over the street lighting and the lighting of the schools and public buildings immediately. The fable of the dog and the shadow could be read with profit by the small clique displeased at the solution of the water con-| troversy and who now scek to keep the city embroiled in a fight that has and is now militating against the best interests of Bismarck. Of course it is too much to expect the local power utility to be enthusiastic over city ownership of any utility-failing in preventing that the next log ep for them is to pre- vent it from being a success. That is the point of attack but as the citizens’ committee and the commission are aware of the danger the interests of the people of Bismarck should be safe. Let there be no deviation from the pclicy of complete city ownership of the water system. It is not so much a matter of cost but one of supreme importance to the welfare of all the people. WHAT IS NOT FOR THE GOOD OF THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IS NOT GOOD FOR THE CITY. | *LET’S SETTLE IT NOW!

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Roberts Barton Choo-Choo The next station in Land was Pin Towns It was about the queerest of al! the queer places the Twins haq been in. Every kind of piniwas there. “I think this is a good place to look for your lost doll,” said Nick. “She was so ragged she may have come here to get pinned up.” “Poor Dear!” Nancy, couldn't, help saying. “Here comes a- clothes-pin. Vil ask.” “Please, dig you see-Ruby Joan?” asked Nancy. “She was a rag doll and wore a patchwork dress and polka-dot stockings.” “A rag doll?” said the clothes-pin. “No, I didn’t see her. I've only worked in the best of families, ‘The clothes I pinned on the line every week were as fine as silk. No rags, I tell you! Everything lace and em- | broidery!” The proud clothes-pin passed on, and a tall hat-pin came along. “Did you see a rag doll any- where?” asked Nancy. . “I have pinned hats. on princesses and Queens,” said the hat-pin proud- ly, “but never on a doll—much less a rag doll. No, I haven’t seen her.” And it passed .on. Then along came a gold pin, “Did you see anything of a rag doll?” asked Nancy. The gold pin stopped. “My goodness, no!” it replied, still more proudly than the others. “What should I be: doing with rags? Why don’t you ask the com- mon pins? Here’s one.now.” “Sure I’ve seen hundreds of rag dollies,” said the common pin in a jolly voice. “But no one ever put me in one of them, for fear l’'a seratch the babies. Why don’t you ask a safety-pin?” So they did. “Oh, yes, I know Ruby Joan,” said the safety-pin. “I pinned one of her arms on once at your house x rie, whole shipload, at New York Zoological Gardens.

Jenny Pendean engages Mark Brendon, famous criminal _ investi- gator, to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Michael, her hus- band, from his home on Dartmoor.

The sack is found at a far distance from the scene of mys- tery. e Jenny goes to live with her uncle Bendigo Redmayne. Brendon visits Bendigo’s home and mects Giuseppe Doria, who works there. Bendigo shows Mark a letter supposed to be from Robert Redmayne. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Mr. Redmayne went bick to the house, and Jenny, who stood by them, walked as far as the top of the steps with Brendon. “Don't think I bear any ill will to this poor wretch,” she said, “Km only heartbroken, that’s all. I used to declare in my foolishness that I had escaped the war. But no—it is the war that has killed my dear, dear husband—not Uncle Robert. I see that now.” “It is all go the good that you can be so wise,” answered Mark: quietly. “I admire your splendid patience and courage, Mrs. Pendean, and— and—I would do for you, and will do, everything that wit of man can.” “Thank you, kind friend,” she re- plied. Then she shook his hand and bade him farewell: ‘ “Will you let me LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOT: TO HER FRIEND, SALLY — + ATHERTON. © DEAR SALLY I knew of course that dad would help you over your trouble, for you have alw one of his own daughters, He said to me as he handed me this cheek for two thousang dollars, which I am inclosing: “You tell that little girl to keep a stiff upper lip and I'll sce that she gets through. “Tell her to send her. husband where he will have the care of the best specialists and if she feéls that it is too hard for her to keep her position, to throw it up and just turn her attention to that great big fool- ish boy that she married.” Ang here, Sally dear, is something that I want to do.

To the last place he sent a special direction and told Inspector Halfyard to visit Mrs. Gerry at Station Cottages and make a careful examination of the room which Robert Redmayne had there occupied.

From Paignton on‘the following morning Brendon proceeded to Ply- mouth and directed a strenuous and close inquiry. But he knew well i enough that he was probably too ‘late and judged with certainty that if Robert Redmayne still lived, he would no longer be in England, Next he turned to Princetown, that he might go over the ground again even while appreciating the futility of so doing.
