THE BkA1NERD BRANCH.

Hon. F. R. Delauo, Of St. Paul, who
has obtained control of the stock of
this hoe, informed Us a few days ago
that there was no prospect of it's being
built this season. He said he had been
unable to make any terms whatever
with the represen tatives of the foreign
bondholders. Two propositions had
been made by him and those with
whom be was acting. One was that
the boudholders should complete the
branch from Wstab to Brainerd, for
which be and the parties referred to
agreed to pay them one million of dol.
lars in twenty-five years. bonds, draw.
ing seven per cent. interest, secured by
. frst'mortgage on that branch, and
by = mortgage on the road from W.tab
to St. Paul-allowing the bondholders
to retain tho land grant. The other
Was that the bondholders should con.
struet the roat aud lease it to Mr.. Del.
sno for certain number Of years, to
be run in connection with the North.

Division road, The payment Of certain
right ofwsy claims, and the settlement
Of certain claims held by the Northern
Pacific on very favorable terms, were
included. Neither would they agree
to sell the Branch on any equitable
basis.
Mr.. Delsno says it is his intention to
make application to the next Legisla-
ture to declare that the present Com.

FiIfering River Water.

Water from the Cumberland river, used
in this city through the action of steam
pump, Reservoir and hydrants, holds SO
| UGH mud in suspension, and some other
| things, that it ought to be filtered for drink
! ing and cuiinar7 purposes. l. is less ex-
| pensive 10 make a filter for family use than
many suppose. The writer has u.ed one
as house Ike per twenty years, The cost
| OF which was less than i've dollars. The
| best form is that Of an old fashioned beer
| tub, small al the bottom and large at the
| top, made of heart oak. The tue (Which
| is the fi!ter) may hold from 20 to 40 ga Ions.
! A new pork barrel will answer the purpose.
! Take on. one lead aud put in false @ bottom,
close fitting, some three inches above the
| head that rests ON blocks. This false bot
tom must be bored full of 81 all holes, like
| those made by a half inch auger or BIT.
| Take piece of half inch lead pipe long
enough to pass one end through the false bot
| tom, bat nGt to close the pipe on the bottom
! Of tire barrel or tub. and bend the other end
| over the top Of the barrel for a support
not closing the tube. The object of this lead
] pipe is to let air pass readily to the bottom
| of the filter, that water may flow freely
when Ysn'ed. A tin tube
will answer the same purpose
After the false bottom and pipe are in, and
the filter in a cool place, where it is to re-
main permanently, cover the false bottom
with TWO folds CT more Of thick white
flannel, which is to support the pounded
charcoal, sand aud a little clean gravel,
| through which the muddy water is to be
filtered or strained. If the tub or barrel is
filed ope-third with clean, fine charcoal,
one-third with the best sand that can be
obtained, and nearly one.third with fine
gravel, leaving room for one CT two buckets
Q. water above the gravel, there will be a
good filter. There is needed 4 faucet or
Stop cock Just below the fs!se bottom. At
ter the filter is charged, one can draw a
bucl5et of pure water from the faucet (Which
should be high enough above the ground Or
floor TO set a bucket under i) at any time.
The same quantity Of muddy water should
he placed Oh the filter for use
when needed. One should not
filter more water than is really needed, b.
cause it fills the filter slowly with mud, that
has 10 be removed when the sand and gray
ell are nearly full. 1t is better % get fresh
sand ard gravel than drink dirt, and per-
haps organic substances. The writer has
used filter and rainWster for coffee ana
drinking in preference to any spring, or
well water from a limestone soil or rock.
Probably two thirds or more OF
the area drJined by the Cum
berland river is sandstone or
other rock that has very little lime salts The
minerals in solution which filter can not
separate, viii do no harm; but mud, aud
vegetable matters washed from the surface
of the ground, should be removed. AuV
cooper can easily make good filter; and if
any farther information is desired, the wri-
ter will so tohis sop and show how to put
up the first one.
