TIE Republicans are very fond of charg-
ing the Democrats of the Fifty-second
Congress with extravaganza, but the reason
why they were apparently so was because
the billion-dollar Congress forced it on
them. The expenditures OF the country
during the first three years of Harrison's
administration exceeded those of the same
period OF Mr.. CIevelAnds administration by
the snnrmnna sum of h27A076.lIa.S2. and

WATER WORKS.
The First Test Well Indicates Plenty
Of Water.

Work on the water works test we'll in
the Clear Creek valley was pushed for.
ward rapidly last week and depth sufi.
cient for satisfactory test was reached
on Friday evening. At 81 feet a bed of
gravel was reached and the we'll was
sunk fifteen feet further before rock was
reached. Drilling was then stopped and
pumps have been sent for to complete
the test of this well before another is
sunk. q
Mr.. Long, in charge of the operations,
regards the indications for large supply
of water as very favorable, and thinks
there is little doubt but that all that will
be needed can be obtained at that loca
ton. Council, however, is determined
to make the tests thorough, and will not
rely on the favorable indications of this
one well as conclusive.
