THE WATER WORKS.

w. G. GreenwaY, engineer of the wa
ter works, has lately attached to the en-
CINE a very delicate and interesting little
instrument called the Crosby Engine
Register. By means Of this small ma
chine the actual number of gallons of
water pumped every tWeniy-four hours
is ascertained IN q moment The regis
ter has upon its face a series of numbers
and operates in manner similar to the
counter used on The NEWS printing
press. At every revolution
Of the shalt driving the
pumps the engine register moves
forward one figure. Each number thus
represents twelve gallons of water, the
amount pumped at single stroke. The
number of revolutions registered for
Wednesday was % sol, thus showing
that for the twenty-four hours ending at
midnight Wednesday, there had been
pumped 27O,732 gallons. The average
number registered every twenty-tour
hours at this season is abou: 81 600 gal
Ions, thus indicating a consump-
tion of water If about 100000
gallons day. This represents,
however, something less than the actual
amount o. wa er used, as a portion of
the water pumped, it not all consumed,
runs back into the we'll. The full
capacity of the works is 100000 gall
Ions day. In this connection il may
be mentioned thai the machinery of the
water works appears In excellent repair
and condition. Indeed, n a casual OBJ
server visiting the works last evening,
they seemed almost as bright, clean
and easy working as they were
five years ago when first put In place

little over six feet high, weighs about
$50, age about 1fty-five, grey hair and
mustache dyed black. Is a very fluent
talker and possessed Of wonderful fund
of information in regard to persons and
places. He made his advent in Elk
Falls some time ago and announced that
he wished TO buy several farms and some
town property. He contracted for farms
with Bob Wheeler, James Glover and
James McBeth, but so far as we can
learn did not pay q dollar on them. he
bought house and lots of ]. z, Sprague

on it, but afterwards borrowed the
money to buy lumber to fix Up the barn.
He actually bought the lumber and fixed
the barn but as he did not pay for it, the
lumber company will hold Mr.. Sprague
for it. He also bought two farm wagons
of Geo. Blackburn, spring wagon

son, two sets of double harness of Henry
Strong, and clothing, dry goods ETC., of q
number of merchants. he bought four
work mules of o. G. AtheV for $3.50,
giving his note therefor, pair of horses
from W. Fl. McReynoIds, borrowed a
hundred dollars of Ole Nicholson and
smaller sums from others. He was the
better enabled to do this as he went right
ahead fixing up the places hs had
bought, purchasing supplies, ETC., but
never paying cash. He borrowed
