The city council at the meeting last
night, did not consider the bids sent
in for digging the ditch from the water
works to the RHINE. as it had almost
been decided to increase the demand for
water by laying mains from Third street
to Second on Locust, SO that the pressed
brick company might use the water.

Miner, who was a resident of Dakota
long before the term blizzard had a

The storm promise of yesterday was
fulfilled only in the arrival of q strong
northwers wind and occasional Aerrlee
of snow. The cold we've announced
from Washington yesterday morning
arrived last night and the temperature
sank to ten above zero. It was q
boisterous night and has been a bolster.
Gus day. The storm indicated by yes.
terday's low barometer probably passed
north of us, giving this section it's *.
treme southern edge. With freezing
snow and a strong wind railroad cuts
| opened since the storm OF last week are
liable &c Ell again.
The city council. as q committee oil
the whole to provide for carrying off
the surplus water from the city well,
are experimenting with the we'll Just
now. 1t is thought that the proposed
sewerage scheme would cost too much,
and to q Y this expense the valves al
the well house have become partially
closed so that only enough water to
supply the demands of the consumers
escapes from the pipe into the reser-
voir. The amount consumed is hardly
one.tenth the supply SO that the flow Of
the we'll is retarded nine .tenths. It may
be dangerous to thus fool with nature,
but the council.knows best.
