ting in a $4,000 water plant in Livingston.
During the past year he has placed water
works in five Kansas cities, and last year
built two in Texas and one in Fort Payne,
Ala, his home
Mr.. Sutphin is here for the purpose Of
spying out the land" TO ascertain what
can he done towards supplying Helena with
water IN quantities for every purpose,
whether for abundance for domestic use and
fire purposes or for any number Of manufac-
turing industries. He is of the opinion
and without having investigated the mat-
ter, that the surrounding mountains must
furnish ynst supply of water, which can
be concentrated at one point and brought
into use. The Missouri river plan,
he says, hns been hobby of his
since he FIRST learned of its
near location 20 the city, and he sava he
would undertake TO bring that in here. lie

could not think of engaging in the water

or two year contract WIS let. and he could
be given some assurance that hc could make

brought the Missouri. jefferson or Il similar

He realizes the fact that Helena builds lis
future hopes ON establishing manufactur-
ing industries at this point and becoming a
pOpulous city and TO accomplish these II II
necessary first 10 have water in unlimited
quantities. II IL Ia make thcs,
things possible that MIR. Sut-
phin would undertake 10 supply
Helena with water. lie believes the small
mountain streams surrounding the city
will do for present purposes, but the city
will have no opportunity to expand. lie
will investigate the Missouri aud Jefferson
river sources and communicate his plans tu
the city council at nm early date.
Mr.. Sulphin will find many prominent
business men In Helena who will encourage
him IN his scheme 30 bring the Missouri
river water 20 Helena. AZ The public meet
inps held during last spring that source WIS
strongly agitated and developed many
waun supporters, and no good reason was
advanced 10 show that IL was not feasible.
Mr.. SnipbiD appears 30 he man of good
hnslnt tss sense, is "A hydraulic engineer, and
will undoubtedly fulfill his claims If given
an opportunity or some encouragement
from the city fathers. His project should
command some attention. He will invest
his own money and forever settle the water
question in Helena.
