WATER WORKS.
Since the purchase by H. W. Cannon Of
the right to the use of the water from Nc
Kusick's lake, considerable interest has been
manifested in the proposed system of water
works, and many have been awaiting the re-
suit of said purchase. Since making the
purchase Mr.. Cannon has been quietly at
work forming company for the purpose of
establishing system of water works, with
the object of supply ing the business and
resident portion of our city with water for
fire and other purposes. With this end in
view, he sent for Walter II. Sears, of-St.
Louis, an experienced hydraulic engineer, to
make practical survey of the lake and city.
Mr.. Sears has perfected, the survey, and with
such satisfactory results that Mr.. Cannon
has succeeded in interestiI G st. Louis and
Saltwater capitalists in the scheme. Mr..
Cannon says that he can see no reason why
the organization can not be completed and
the city supplied With water during the
coming summer. The company ask no as
sistance from the city-only sHcn ordinances
as are usually given to such companies.
earle Gray, of St. Louis, will be included n
the proposed association. Mr..
Gray has built a number of
water works, and is now under contract to
construct the Eau Claire system of water
works. 1t is intended to construct seven
miles of mains, and the capital required to
place the project in successful operation will
be about $4,000. There has been some
talk in the papers about the city taking hold
of the matter, but Mr.. Cannon informed your
reporter that he has never spoken with any
of the council on the subject. Neither has
he been broched on the question. The value
of system of water works has already been
will interest themselves sufficiently to look
the matter over. The scheme should receive
the hearty encouragement of our citizens,
and if necessary, their assistance. The ques-
ton has already been brought to,discussion
in the progress, and anything more would be
superfuous. 1t is to be hoped that the pro-
posed company will be successful in their en-
terprise.
SALTWATER AND HASTINGS RAILROAD.
A company has been formed in this city
for the purpose of constructing and main
tanning a railroad from Saltwater to Hast
ings. The capital stock of the company
is 81, 100000. The articles of incorporation
have been recorded. Our business men
have too much vim and energy about them
to wait for empty promises to build a road
and SO have taken hold of the matter them
selves.
The spirit of enterprise eEinced by our
business men in this connection, the pro-
posed system of water works and the prom
Use of O number of new business blocks
show that they have awoke to q realization
of the fact that the national advantages
possessed by our city need only the judicious
assistance of her citizens to make her
business centre of no mean magnitude. The
benefits to be derived from the successful
operation of the Saltwater d Hastings road
by Saltwater with her vast numbering inter
est which are continually seeking for new
outlets have been foreseen by the men who
have taken hold of the matter The names
of the stockholders insures the success of
the project.
