inspiration. But 1t is smoothly written

A project is being talked over looking to
water in pipes, underground,
from point couple Of miles up Cotton
wood creek, into and through Deer Lodge. 1t
is estimated eighty feet pressure can be had,
and pure water obtained the year round. The
method is said to be entirely practicable and
1t would certainly be great benefit, afford
ing continual supply Of pure water for all
purposes. Notwithstanding the streams
coursing through the town there is an made
quate supply Of irrigaung water and our
wells do not furnish as pure water now as is
desirable. Moreover we believe there is
money in the enterprise.
