A Water Wall.

A few years ago q general vote Was
taken of the Inhabitants of Salt Lake
City to see whether they were will
ing to raise a loan of $3.50, COO for the
bulldog of the Salt Lake and
jordan Canal. The result OF the
vote is known, the canal is .
bona tide fact. The benefits of
this great undertaking were ex-
pounded in glowing eloquence at nu-
merous meetings all over town, and
even the psrohed North-Benchel 8
were caught by the enthusiasm of
the day and with the coming water
they SAW in their minds eye 50 cir
hitherto dry lots groaning under q
heavy crop of strawberries, peaches,
etc., and all rushed to the polls and
voted Ia solid pha!anx for that canal.
But, alas for human hopesl they are
but bubbles, now as ever. ] think the
Bible says. "whosoe7er hath, to him
shall! be gi7en, but wnosnever hath
net, rom him shall be taken away,
even that he nsth." This suits our
case SO precisely, that 1 believe it was
written for oar special benefit. the
canal is there, and thoue who had
water before, rfjoice now in double
portion, but the benCh-ahl where is
the bench? Cur supply from Red
Butte is already falling short, and We
may expect TO see our gardens
this summer, again wither AMI
die. One OF the assistant watermast-
els toll me, that the prospect for
the balance OF the season was very
G o0my, aud that the prospect Tor
mex. year were still more so, because
more ard more lots are being cuiti-
waited and the limited stream from
Red Butte is being more aud more
divided and suo-divided until tits OF
no material good to anyone. True,
the city authorities are doing their
bsst this year o procure drinking
water from Dry Can On, but that was
not the idea with the cansl-We did
not vote for the canal that We few
years hence might get a drop OF
drinking water from Dry Cafon.
Petitions innumeIsble have been sent
in to the City Council without the de-
sired effect; will not the Council al!
least authorize some one to state pub.
lioly what they have done for us, and
what they propose to do for US in the
near future? The cry oil so many
thousands OF our citizens can not be
Ignored Indemnity. T.

Aluminium.

Aluminium, bluish-white metal pos
sessing valuable properties, constitutes
large portion of the earth's crust, occur
ring in 1875 different species of minerals.
Despite its abundance, however, it is
rendered very expensive by the difficult
ty of separating it from its compounds
"a process involving the use of sodium
or potassium-both costly substances.
Several attempts of doubtful success
have been made to obtain aluminium by
means eff the ordinary reducing agents,
hydrogen and carbon. A patent has
been taken out in England for new
process of this kind, in which alumina
(the oxide of the metaD, and carbon are
submitted to temperature of ignition
in close vessel, and subjected to the
action of carbonic acid; carbonic oxide
being formed, and the alumina reduced
in whole or in part to the metallic state.
AS soon as it can be cheaply procured,
aluminium must take an important place
in the arts, and the man who makes it
inexpensive will undoubtedly find for
tune within his grasp.

bOygan:
GENTLEMEN: At a meeting of the
Board of Water Commissioners, this day,
the following resolution was adopted:
ResOlued, That the job of Erratt q
,Spiller for sinking the artesian we'll be
accepted, and that the sum of $500 be
paid them on their contract, and we rec
Omend payment of the same.
The we'll has been sunk to depth of
BOG feet.
There is 17O feet of seven inch pipe,
and 229 feet of five inch pipe in the well,
There is 48 feet of the well below any
We have taken off "a feet of the top of
the 5-inch pipe, 80 that now the top of
the 5-inch pipe is about "a feet below the
surface of the ground and Finch pipe
feet below the surface OF the ground.
We have made some tests as to the
flow of water. When the pipe was about
3 feet above the surface of the ground
water from the lake shut Off there was
flow of about Is gallons OF water per
minute. We then put on q piece OF pipe,
and the water would raise only about 3
feet above the floor Of the arteslan well.
We then pumped the water out OF the
reservoir down to 81 feet below the
floor, and took off the pipe so that the
top of the pipe was little below the
surface of the water at that time, ana
stopped the pumps. and the first eight
minutes the water raised 81 inches In
the reservoir, which would be equai TO
a flow of 1862 gallons per minute. Ine
first Is minutes the water ralsea "a
inches, equal to 100 gallons per minute.
The first % minutes, IL inches, equai 10
$50 gallons, and the first 30 minutes tne
water raised 2l% inches, giving now
of 147 gallons per minute. Then starteu
the pumps and ran them revolutions
per minute, pumping so gallons per
minute. and i'm Is minutes the water In
reservoir raised AZ inches, equal 10 W
gallons per minute; added to the quanti-
ty being pumped, would make i4z gar
Ions per minute. -
The next day we made announcer tesC
with the water pumped out OF the reser-
yoir below the top OF the pipe, ana the
pumps supplying the town as usual. IN
rs minutes the water raised 20 inches In
the reservoir, equal to 1877 gallons per
minute. beyond what was being pumped
10 supply the town and though we nave
made no test to-day, we are satlshed
there is an increased flow OF water.

me reservoir rapidly nils up, anu
there is nice flow of water running
out of the waste pipe into the lake. -,
We are exceedingly well pleased with
the result of the efforts to obtain water.
When we first contemplated the sink
ing of this we'll, we made some expert
ments to test the flow of water at the
salt well near the dam, and we estimat-
ed the flow at IS gallons per minute,
and concluded that if we could obtain
an equal flow it would be sufficient
for domestic purposes for many years.
We have been so fortunate as to obtain
about twice that flow at a depth of 306
feet when we expected to be compelled
to drill at least $50 feet, if not more.
We have sufficient flow of water
now to supply the town for. domestic
purposes for many years and we believe
we have supply for ordinary fire pro-
lection, and in all cases, unless there
should be- very great cOnflagratiOn, in
which event the gate can be raised and
water drawn from the lake.
The water obtained is pure and soft,
and apparently free from minerals.
All Of which is respectfully submitted

highly respected citizens in this
part of the State. The news of his
death was received with universal
regret, and although he will be
missed, yot Le will long be remem-

dearing qualities have embalmed
his memory in the hearts of all who
had the pleasure of knowing him.

"There is no more powerful
apparatus for the conveyance OF
disease than book" says the Lon
don Lancet. A list of the maladies
most easily conveyed by means OF
books is given as follows: "Measles,
scarlet fever, diphtheria, sore throat
whooping-c cough, bronchitis, and
perhaps phthisis. The germs
of disease ''may lie for weeks,
months, OF perhaps years. between
the pages OF a bound book, to be dis
lodged MT some snpropitious time
when the volume chances to be
handled by n susceptible person"
The worst of the Lancet's discovery
is that no remedy apparently car be
provided for this difficulty.

FROM THE TINES"

Editor of the Times-I have been
watching the correspondence in
your paper for the past few weeks
with much interest. Having been
in the practice of medicine for many
years. / have learned to have no
confidence in the many proprietary
medicines which are on the market,
and it was through the excellent
recommendation given by DR..
Bates, and the knowledge I had of
his veracity and ability as a physi-
clan that ever led Inc to lay aside
my long existing prejudice, to try
the only wonderful remedy, named
kendall's SPAWN Cure, which l find
so many of your readers have found
to be SO valuable. rheumatism has
afflicted me for years, and with all
the skill l have professed to have in
treating others, l found myself I'M
able to 90 anything to cure myself
entirely. After suffering for years
the difficulty became located in my
hip, and nothing that / could do
seemed to affect it until l began to
use Kendall's SPAWN Cure. which
has cured me completely. In all my
experience as physician I have
never been able to make any COM
pound which penetrates so thor
ongh and works SO admirably in re-
moving old standing ailments, and
at the same time hardly produce
any irritation of the skin. It has
done such wonders with me that l
have the utmost confidence in its
efficacy, and can recommend it
with the confidence that the pro-
prietors do not claim too much for
it. Respectfully.
