S l a l o n e ' s W a t e r Q u e s t i o n .

The State water snpply oommtesion held a hearing at the <x>nrthonse in Ma-tone o n may lasts, t o consider t h e a p plication Of Balone vi l lage tor the appro-%$X of plana which Contemplate t h e jpa^shase of t h e GfcBAg£>% RppesoN and; M O S I V S E V springs, % beoptoe a part o f the systenT o f w © lestec w.orks fiw t h e . v i 8 a g e . Such ah applieatioa was made some t i m e a g o , hut s ince then conditions have changed, and the dresent purpose o f t h e vil lage trustees i s understood t o be , whi l e seeking consent to take all of the sources o f supply here earned, t o add only the lower GLEASON; spring to the ex is t ing supply, and per­haps n o t t o add even this for s o m e t i m e t o come. -

W h e n i t was thought impossible for t h e vi l lage and t h e Matone Water "Works Co. t o agree upon terms for t h e transfer t o t h e vi l lage o f the exist ing system plans were prepared for erecting a n e w system of water w o r t s for t h e vi l lage, and an agreement was entered into between t h e village and the Gleason Water Co. for the: transfer of. t h e tetter's property to t h e village, subject t o t h e approval of t h e State water supply commission and also subject to the approval of the tax-payers of the vi l lage.

A t the hearing on Friday objections to tak ing over this supply were entered by BJLDGEB & C A S T W E L L and A. B. COOHBY,

representing certain tax-payers and by B E N J . L. W E L L S , representing the county. W h e n the attorneys for both sides had been heard, J. P . fCftt.r.AS and C. A. B U E E E appearing for the" vil lage, the commissioners stated that their decision would not b e given.at th i s t ime, and gave the attorneys thirty days in which to file briefs i n the matter. I t is understood chat the commissioners advised the vil­lage authorities that their arrangement, in advance of the commission's action, for the purchase of the GLKASON water was utterly void, so that i f approval be obtained this deal wil l have to s tart anew.

W e are informed that if the commis­sion concludes t o approve the plans, these will be modified to meet present conditions, s imply making i t possible t o take the water as an auxiliary supply, should the village need the same. Should the commission fail to approve the plans the village will then be relieved from its contract wi th the Gleason Water Co.

Many people believe that the present •apply is sufficient so that there is no urgent need for increasing it , and that enlargement of the sys tem and further expenditures should be deferred until the authorities become convinced by their own observations and by experience as to what i s actually needed, and what can be reasonably afforded. There are those, too, who believe that i f additional water is required it should be sought in the vicinity of Horse Brook rather than in the southwestern part of the town. I t will require careful s a d intel l igent s tudy of the who le situation t o decide these and similar quest ions wisely.

Is it? wise for the vi l lage to assume this enormous expense, and also t o pay Mr. i .LEASON $9,000 for his spring, when t h e village already owns the judgment of i-uademnation g i v i n g i t the right t o put in a twelve-inch pipe'from Horse Brook to the present reservoir, thereby securing an inexhaustible supply of water, suffi­cient for a c i ty of for ty thousand people ?

The test imony of GEOBQESABiNshowed that the present reservoir i s i n first-class order, and amply sufficient for the needs of the vil lage; that the largest fire that has occurred in e ighteen years did not use up the water supply.

FLANAGAN and Miss ELIZABETH B A R R Y qualified for the final round. On Thursday the finals were played and Miss F L A N A G A N won the first prize, and Miss B A B B Y t h e second.

On Thursday evening of last week Mr. and Mrs. C. A . C A N T W E L L entertained a number of their friends a t an old-fash' toned " corn husking," and the costumes were certainly humorous. In this l ine Miss K A T H E R I N E W I L S O N secured first prize for the ladies and F E E D L Y M A N car­ried off the honors among the gentlemen. Refreshments were served, and a most enjoyable evening spent by all.

C H A R L E S L». W E B S T E R , formerly of

Malone, but for a number o f years past a resident of Humboldt, Kansas, where he is engaged in the oil refining business, being vice-president and general mana­ger of the Webster Refining Co., has been nominated by the Democrats for representative in the Kansas Legislature. Mr. W E B S T E R is another Franklin county boy who has gained prominence in politi­cal as well as in business life.

In accepting the nomination of the Independence League , Mr. H E A R S T refers t o the administration of Mr. KILBTJRN in connection wi th three failed institutions that had been under the latter's super­vision, w i th the innuendo that t h e faithlessness and dishonesty which caused the failures were wi thout effective op­position or rebuke from tbe banking department, i f n o t with i t s connivance. Mr. H E A R S T thereupon declares bis pur­pose, if e lected, " to remove K I L B U E N , re-organize the department, and have i t administered s o a s t o carry o u t both the letter and t h e spirit of the l aw ."

The matter i s here referred to, not a t al l for the purpose of arguing i t , but solely h i order to bring before the people of Franklin county a concrete case , i l lustrative of the looseness and falsity of M r . . H E A R S T ' S campaigning. H e n o t only arrogates to himself and fer bis as­sociates a monopoly of political and civic virtue, b a t b e attributes' recklessly t o everybody opposed to h im a character of incompetence and derelict ion t o | h e dis­charge o f duty .

Readers who k n o w t h e relations of the writer t o Mr. K E L B U B K might perhaps criticise that i t was t o be expected t h a t t h e P A L L A D I U M would s tand by h im a n y way; and , therefore, omi t t ing al l expres­sion of our o w n concerning M m , w 6 s imply p u t i t t o t h e people o f Frankl in c o u n t y , all of w h o m k n o w Mr, K n > B O B N — t o his friends, and also t o h i s enemies , i f h e has any—whether h e h a s capacity , and whether h e i s honest; whether h e was ever k n o w n b y anybody t o " c o n n i v e " w i t h a n y person or a n y interest t o d o a wrong, or permit a wrong t o b e done.

If t h e y pronounce Mr. H E A B S T ' S attack upon Mr. K I L B D B N unwarranted and un­jus t , w h a t confidence can they possibly nave t h a t h e speaks I r u l y a n d jus t ly in

In its weekly review of the hop trade the N e w York Producers' Price Current says:—

The local hop market remains very quiet, as f ew new hops-have as ye t been received. In this State buying stil l con­tinues on a very moderate scale, with prices remaining firm at S0@81c. The better growers are holding tbeir crops out of tbe market for the present, think­i n g that within a short t ime a n export demand might arise, and they can realize better prices. On the Pacific coast tbe markets of all three hop growing States continue very dull, w i th scarcely any­thing doing unless i t i s perhaps tbe de­livering of the contracts made in tbe early spring. Prices have shown a ten­dency to sag. Sales have been reported as low as 18c, in Sacramento, and one sale is reported in Oregon a t 14j£c. Reliable estimates of the crops in America would be 135,000 bales in Oregon, 100,000 bales in California, 45,000 bales in Washington and 70,000 bates in the State of N e w York. The English market is in almost the exact condition as ours, with absolutely nothing doing and prices inclining to weaken.

During the past week we learn of one small lot of hops purchased at 17% cents and another at 3 5 c These are extreme transactions. The figure stands a t 20 to 21c„ and i t is a waiting market at that. Several offers have been made by the dealers of 2 2 c , but tbe growers do not seem to be willing to sell a t that figure.— Otsego Farmer, October 5.

There is a steady sale of new hops at 20 to 3 1 c , although many large fine growths are not in the market a t those prices.— WatervUle Times, October 5.

The local hop market has been more active the past week, and we learn of the following sales: S. B. Skinner has sold his growth of fifty bales to Isaiah Gibson, securing slightly better than 20 cents per pound for them. J . J. Slattery has bought 65 bales, 15 bales of which were from E ; J. Carlin, 15 from Johnson Bros., 15 from Owen Sullivan and 15 from R. St. Mary. He paid 30 cents per pound for these growths. One other local dealer has bought the John Hapgood lot of 25 bales, the Henry Childs growth of 35 bales. 35 bales from Williams Bros., 13 from Thos. Eddy, 18 from Alvln Avery and about 75 bales in smaller lots, for whioh he paid 20 cents per pound.
