If construction is decided upon, il
would be wise to contract for the work
in the early spring, say in March; the
contractor will then have ample time
to get material on the ground ready
to begin work as soon as the season
will admit, and the work can be COM
completed early in the summer. Gen
orally better prices can be gotten early
in the season, than later when material
deliveries are not as prompt and more
work is being offered.
Respectfully submitted,
@. F. LowETH, Engineer.
An experienced writer says "More
profit lies in fewer acres better titled
and in more regards for the wants and
tastes of consumers. We must get out
of the rut of growing certain crops and
animals, simply because we have been
growing them, and our fathers grew
them before us. The successful merch-
ant buys those goods that his custom
ers want-he varies quantities, and
takes up new styles every year, to suit
the probable demand. Farmers must
do likewise. By consulting depart
ments of agriculture-State and Nat
ional-and news paper reports on con-
dition and yield of crops, and on con-
dition and numbers of farm animals,
and by studying market reports, es-
pecially with reference to those styles
of products-if I may use the term
that command the best prices, the
farmer may determine what products
will be most probable-of course adj
aptability to soil and climate being
carefully considered"
AS it is impossible for me to do all
my work, I have made arrangements
with Zimmerman Bros, Wholesale
stock dealers and Photographers in
St. Paul, to finish all my work hereaf-
tor, so look for fine work. Prices as
before. Yours truly,

Good as the above record is, if
present expectations are realized the
coming year will witness better one.
at least so far as business blocks are
concerned. If the proposition for
water works is favorably received
and acted upon, in addition to private
improvements, Redwood Falls will be
fully justified in assuming the airs of
a thriving little city.
Our people have substantial reasons
indeed for thanksgiving, with health,
prosperity and the best social and ed
vocational privileges bestowed to them.

One hundred thousand more, in dol
lars,have been added in improvements
to our little city since last Thanksgiv-
ing Day. Our statement, which fol-
lows, shows few thousand less than
this, .,hich might be made up by tax
ing into account many minor improve
ments in the line of painting and re-
modelling various stores and residenc-
es which have been overlooked or
omitted. For town of 1900 people
it is very creditable showing. 1t is
further matter for congratulation, that
more than sixty of our own citizens
have given material testimony to their
prosperous condition and to their faith
in the future growth of Redwood
Falls.

MAINTENANCE AND REVENUE

MAINTENANCE AND REVENUE.
Geo. It is difficult to anticipate the sale
of water which may be expected; up
on this depends the revenue and the
cost of maintenance is to quite large
extent in proportion to the water used.
Other cities no more favorably situat-
ed than Redwood Falls, have within one
or two years time, made the revenue to
equal and exceed the expense account.
l know no reason why you should not do
as well. The interest in bonds may be
offset by assuming hydrant rental,
with % hydrants and interest at 6 per
cent on SIS, 600; this rental would be
about $54 per hvdrant, fair price in
cities where there are works owned by
franchise companies Each added by
drant will reduce this cost.
An electric light plant could be OPP
Grated to advantage in connection with
the water works; the same building
would house both plants, the same
boiler furnish steam for both, and one
attendant or engineer only, would be
required. Fuel and supplies would be
also much less than for the two plants
operated separately.

MODE OF SUPPLY,

The simplest mode of water supply
is direct pressure system, in which
the mains are kept full of water by the
constant operation of pumps. This
plan, however, has the objection of be-
ing seriously expensive, especially for
small cities. There is required a double
force of attendants, one for day and
one for night service. There is q con-
slant consumption of fuel; pumping

protection. 1t would not seem wise to

cityhaving less nominal capacity than
one million gallons per day.
SOURCE OF SUPPLY.
The only available sources for pub
lie water supply for your city, appear
to be artesian wells, the Redwood riv-
or, and the springs southwest of the
city in the Redwood river valley. No
consideration is taken of the Minneso-
ia river because of the great distance,
and elevation required to be overcome
iu pumping from it to the city.
The artesian we'll on the Willard
property, directly south of the city,
proves the existence of a considerable
water bearing stratum about 200 feet
below the surface. This we'll is six
inches in diameter, but the water rises
only to level about 36 feet or more
below the ground surface. The water
! is probably of suitable quality, though
the result of the analysis is not yet
known. The flow of this experimental
we'll has not been definitely deter
mined; careful measurements show a
flow at the rate of about 81, 600 gallons
per day, this being the maximum ca.
pacity of the pump employed in max.
ing the tests: it is doubtful if the flow

A good deal of our local space this
week is taken up with Engineer Low
eth's report on water supply for
Redwood Falls,and the accompanying
message to the council by Mayor
Dickinson. Our town readers will find
matters for their consideration in both
and should not be discouraged by the
size of the report from reading it en-,
tire. There can be no serious question
of the need of water supply for Red
wood Falls, and we think that the en-
gineer's plans for obtaining pure
spring water will meet with a goo6
deal of favor. The Gazette will bt

OOuDC DuC tldG Ill CulS way d supply VI
water adequate and suitable for do
nestle purposes can be obtained.
Ordinarily the spring water would
be pumped into the city; the engine,
however, should have connection
with the mill pond, SO that any time
when an alarm of fire is given and the
spring water is not sufficient to meet
the demand, the connection to the
mill pond can be used. By this means
there will be no doubt as to the ade
quacy of the water supply for fire pur-
poses: If the river water proves OBJ
jectionable, it will be very easy mat
ter to flush the mains with the spring
water after fire has been extinguished !;
it will be remembered, that the neces-
sity of using the river water for this
purpose will undoubtedly be at very
nfrequent intervals. I think that there
will be little or no trouble in gathering
the supply from the spring water in
such way that should the springs be
submerged by floods in the river, the
spring water will remain clear and
pure. It has been somewhat difficult
to estimate on the cost of gathering
this water, but 1 estimate that ST., 100
for the work, including the pump well,
will be ample.
recommend that you look to these
springs as the source of the proposed
water supply for the city, believing
that this plan possesses other advant-
ages, in addition to those of economy
in first cost and maintenance, over
that of supply derived from artesian
wells.
