Pl'HB MOUNTAIN WATER.

I am cure every on of th civil ser vants of Ottawa are pleased that we ara now, thank to Mayor Ellis, to get purs mountain wnter rrom th CJatl- nenu mho. no mora doped water from tha Ottawa, no mora "spring water- la tne buildings, no more drinking of diluted chemical. Th coot I grant, no doubt Th Ottawa river would be a lot cheaper thaa Pemlchangmn; no doubt exists about that. But who want doped and eewage-eoeked water for nothing? Wa are now nble to get pur mountain water, than let us get It, com what II will. Ottawa has suffered too long now nador ta Imputation that th water In th city I unfit to drink, and.

besides, la deadly dangeroua It Is, too, though now It Is said to be fair, but yet not safe. Th spring water la yet used In th government building, nnd meat houae holders atlll obtain their drinking water from eprlngs or from the city well. Thl thing will go on until get th purs mountain water from the hill. Nobody will hav tha temerity to ever again drink Ottawa river water la any shape or form, hypochlortted. Altered or doped In any way.

There I an element of danger In tha Water of th Ottawa river under any form of mechanical filtering and cMmieallslng. It will continue ti ha doped water whatever, process might poaaioiy aa iaaa to render it safe for human consumption. This element of danger would render confidence In th Ottawa water aa Impossibility. On would never know when the deadly bacilli would flow out of -the tap, because ths bacilli would be ther in Increasing number aa tuna went a. and might eecapo through th altera at any tlm.

Pur, virgin water from th hill. uaeoatamlnateH by man and elviliu. Hon, la what wa will now get It Mayor Ellla has his way, nnd I think every eensible parson should giv him their full nnd hearty support In bringing this grat work to a complete realisation. Coat money It will, but a lot of money eouia not possibly spent to batter advaatage. What a wonderful llttl man la Mayor Ellla' I looked In upon th council masting last Monday evanlng week, wbn the water by-law, empowering the city to apand bight millloa dollar, wa brought up.

Wa saw presiding' over thla meeting a lltll man who did not half All tha chair ha waa sluing on an anaaaumlng. Insignificant looking M. iniia man, sitting quietly In the Mayor rlur, held million dollar (lie Angoi oi ooin ni nana. inia the man on whoa word and action oulit jr ten million dollar would or would n'it spent for a new water nyntnni. Msy.rr Bill would ecareely tip uriiVa at IM I be, and yet In thl little frail body Is a wonderful hlddon force.

What la tha aecret of power of thla wlaard of civic finance of thl man that d.u thing? It appear to exactly aame power that made anuther little man. away back In history, great. Initiative. Mayor Ellla has the capacity of forming tha right opinion of a uuee-tlon on th spur of th moment, and, Ilk Napoleon, haa the executive ability and courage to carry these opln-kins and decisions into cumrrts form. Plain, unassuming, tremrnduusly industrious, you hav not heard the of Mayor.

When the. people of' Otlawa a year ago took Jamea Kills from his work "took t'lnclnstus from hta plow" th inrople mad no ml, take, and the old warrior aerved Rome. will-Mayor fcllie provs to. be ths aarluur of Ottawa lake her out of ths slough of financial difficulties, nglneerlng bungling, and restore her 1 seed ansa la laa aye in world.
