Why Let it Waste?

There are now hundreds of barrels of
pure, salt water going to waste daily
flowing away across the bottoms and
loosing itself in the Walnut and Arkan-
saw. Does it not seem neglect on
the part of our people that this water
is not turned into usefulness? The
water comes to the surface laden with
wealth, and all we have to do is 'bOil
it down."
The following from the Hutchinson
Ne,rs describes the way in which the
salt is brought to the surface there:
An iron casing, eight inches in di-
ameter, is sunk as far as needed to re-
tain the earth. Inside of this is wa
ter casing, five to six inches in diam
eter, extending to solid rock to prevent
all inflow of water. and inside this, a
two and half or three inch tube ex-
tends into or through the salt rock.
Fresh water is pumped through the i'll
ner tube. and dissOlVing the salt, rises
through the water casing and is forced
into elevated wooden tanks or reser-
voir.
In the course of time large cham
Der OF cavern is formed in the salt rock
around the tube, by the action of the
water The brine being thus enclosed
in chamber of salt, with pieces and
particles of salt constantly dropping
through it, must naturally come out at,
or very near the saturatiOn point, 1. e.,
carrying in solution all the salt that
water can contain.
From these tanks it flows by grav-
ity into steel pans, one foot deep, twelve
feet wide and eighty to one hundred
and thirty feet long. Here the brine
is heated by direct furnace heat, or by
coils of iron pipe suspended in the pans,
through which steam is passed. The
brine thus obtained being at saturation
point, salt is Immediately precipitated
to the bottom of the pans. 1t is raked
out, and after drying for short time,
is ready for shipment

The Best in the West.

That is what the mile track of the
Arkansas Valley Fair Association will
be. 1t is located just at the west edge
of the city, about three-fourths of a
mile from the court yard, and there
fore easy to reach from the city. Mon
day, through the kindness of City
Engineer Chamberlin, we were taken
out to the track and shown the pro-
posed course. There are now some
fourteen teams and twenty-eight men
at work grading, and it is expected
that the most Of the work will be COM
pleted next week.
A good, mile track at this city will
be all attraction in the future that will
result in bringing horses here from all
parts of the country. Valuable horses
will be brought here to train and to
winter; and horsemen from both the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts will find it
convenient to stop off here on their
way to the more popular racing points,
to rest UP.
1t is taking good lot of money to
put the track in good shape, to grade
and level it and fit it for use; but we
believe every cent thus expended will
bring good returns in course of time.

COMRADEs:-It is unnecessary that
remind you of the approach of the Both
of May, day sacredly consecrated to
the memory of our comrades, who have
fallen in the holy cause of liberty and
union.
This day was first set apart by the
Grand Army of the Republic twenty
years ago, in an order issued by our
distinguished comrade, John \. Logan,
and its observance has been widening
and growing until now it is hailed by
all patriotic Americans as day upon
which the people, laying aside their
usual ayocations, should repair to the
cemeteries where lie the honored dead,
and there With offerings of sweet flow
ers, eucharist of love and remember
ance, bedeck the mounds that mark
their last resting places.
With the comrades of the O.. a r.
this is sacred duty, from which we
may not turn aside. 1t is therefore or
| dered,
First-That all members of Pap
Thomas Post No 50, assemble at G. y.
r. hall on Sunday, May 9th, 1888, at
1915 o'clock a. M, and proceed in a
body to the NJ. E. church, to engage i'll
religious services, commemorative of
the virtues of OIir fallen comrades
Second That all members of the
Post meet at G. a. r. hall on Main
street at half past twelve O'Clock p. M,
Oh the 3Oth day of May, 1888, and from
thence proceed to the cemetery in the
order, and by the routes designated in
the program of the committee.
Third-That the mayor and council,
the several churches and city schools,
and various civic societies of the city are
ordially invited to participate with us,
both at the church and cemetery.
Fourth-It is requested that all
places of business i'll the city be closed
from IL o'clock a. m, to 4o'clOck p. m.,
on the Goth, so that all the people may
join with us in the sacred exercises of
the day.
Fifth respectfully request all per-
sons having wagons, carriages, and
other vehicles to turn out with them so
that all may be provided with convey
ances to the cemetery.

that, in conformity with notice sent
to the teachers in january last, it is

of the pupils of the district schools,
such as written work of any kind, eX-
animation manuscript, drawing, map
drawing, ingenious contrivances. sew
