THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

W. A. Bixby is the name of the new su-
perintendent of the city water works. Mr..
b., who is native of Ohio, comes to Wich-
tia from Little Rock, where he had charge
of the company's works. For climatic
and health considerations he sought the
transfer. At present he with his wife and
child are boarding at the Central Avenue
Club house. which is convenient to the
works, but he expects in short time to be
able TO secure home, probably by the
time his household effects arrive. Mr..
Bixby is delighted with Wichita. He has
had much experience in water supply sys-
TENS for cities and he says that this city IS
exceptionally fortunate in the volume and
in the character of her water supply,
which in both particulars is superior to
that boosted by the average place. He, in
fact. thinks that in purity and in GOODNESS
the water supplied to this city is unequaled
bv any of which he has any Official knowl-
edge, being little short of the marvellous
and from a source which never can be de-
Perforated or contaminated. The EAGLE
welcomes Mr.. Bixby and family most
heartily

The Britons before the time of Christ
used to export iron to Gaul, and after the
Roman conquest the conquerors estab-
lished extensive smelling works, WHICH
existed at least as late as the Saxon con-
quest.
Iron bars were demanded by William
the Conqueror AZ tribute from the city OF
Gloucester. In 1855 Edward III forbade
the export of iron from England, and in
1888 the importation of iron articles that
could be made at home was forbidden.
The first iron works in America were es-
tabIished near jamestown, Va, in 1919; in
1922 the works were destroyed and the
workmen and their families killed by In
dams. The next attempt was at Lynn,
Mass, on the banks of the Saugus, in l6iS.
