Enormous Consumption-Works In Fine
Order-water Receipts. sI69. 900, &c.
The water department. Of which Mr.. G.
f. Boiling is superintendent, Is now in ex-
cellcnt condition taken es whole. Du-
ring the past year the pumping machinery
at the New pump-house has been entirely
overhauled and repaired and new turbines
put in. and all parts put in tirst-class con-
dition. The machinery has all been paint
ed and the buildings are now being
painted. The machinery aud buildings at
the Old pump-house need some repairs
and paint TO put them in neat and good
condition.
ENORMOUS CONSUMPTION.
The rapidly-increasing consumption of
water demands early provision for In
creasing the pumping capacity. and larger
mains will have TO be laid from the reser-
volrs TO the city TO meet the demand for
proper service of water. unless some mea-
sures are adopted TO reduce the enormous
consumption, on account OF which the
pressure In many elevated portions or the
city has been greatly reduced. The water
power pumps are now being operated az
the rate of 20 per cent. of their full capa-
city. The steam pump Is only used in case
of emergency.
During the year water mains for distri-
button to the extent of l2.079 lineal feet
have been laid, and 81 new fre-hydrants
put in. There has been put in 700 new
taps or supplies.
THE TOTAL APPROPRIATION
made 10 the water department for the past
year was SIS, 1868. which has been expended
upon the various branches of the depart
ment-oanal-b banks. pump-houses, reser-
voirs. pipe extension. house services, ana
general maintenance.
THE TOTAL RECEIPTS
for water during the year amounted to
Sl3l. 900. IL will be remembered that the
city receives no revenue for the water used
in the various departments, estimated in
value to be about $4,000. The present
bonded indebtedness of the water depart
ment is estimated at Sl,0O0,000; 50 it will
be seen that this department is yielding q
good revenue.

a most healthful and gratifying increase,

business.

LEGISLATURES are composed of about
the same material everywhere. In Ohio
several bills have been introduced in the
house putting restrictions on railroads,
such as lowering freight rates and reduc-
ing the fess for switching. On the face,
these bills appear to be in the interest
of She people, but other motives are
ascribed to the legislators. Last winter,
when the farmer sentiment was rampant,
the railroads were very liberal with
passes. One member made an estimate
that the pan handle railroad alone issued
$4,000 worth Of passes. The railroads
have gone to the other extreme this year,
and have cut off all passes except annual
passes to the members.

THERE is a bright young attorney
down in Ransom county whom some of
the state makers are taking into account
just now as being a formidable POSSIBLE
ty for attorney general. Ransom county
had the honor to furnish the first attor-
ney general and wouldn't object to fur
nishing another in the perssn of Hon. P.
H. Rourke. MI. Rourke is one of the
commission appointed to codify the
laws and one of the most earnest and
enthusiastic young republicans of the
state. If he has the backing of his
county and the southeastern part of the
state at the state convention he may be
in it sure. Ransom is one of the banner
republican counties and her republican
clubs seem to have harmonized all fac
tions.

SENATOR HANsBRoUGH has succeeded
in getting the Bismarck public building
bill through the senate without a dis
senting vote, and under a suspension of
the rules. Senator Blackburn objected,
but when the measure was explained by
Mr.. Observation-Disclosures the senate was
informed of the fact that at Bismarck
the government was paying annual
rental equivalent to 5 per cent. on the
amount asked for in the bill, 100000
that at Bismarck was the p~ostofice,
signal office, United States district court
rooms, United States surveyor generals
office, United States land office and
Office of United States commissioner,
besides the prospective headquarters of
the Missouri river engineer corps-Mr.
Blackburn withdrew his objection and
the bill passed without a dissenting vote.
But the Bismarck bill, like the Grand
Forks and all other public bills, will have
a rocky road in the house. There is a
deep seated prejudice in the overwhelm-
ing democratic majority in that body
against public building
especially those for the northwest.

of cutting senators and congressman off

THERE are times when an illustrated
weekly a use a cartoon most effectively.
That this is not altogether a feature of a
funny paper like Judge is proved by the
striking take-off on the democratic pol
itical% situation. This cartoon in ques-
ton shows a large-sized snow figure of
David B. Hill with the democratic
editors of New York both building it and
cutting into it. With heaps of snow in
every direction and a picture of the hall
where the convention is to be held in
Albany on Washington's birthday, and
across the street the picture of the aud
itorium with June 22d marked on it, one
wonderstwhether this snow man can
stand until that time.

SECRETARY FOSTER is said to have
given as a reason for not complying with
Johnson's request to turn down Bowers
appointment, that the other fellow
Campell-was urged by a "bad man,
named Edwards"-and that the senators
so declared, and he didn't want Fargo's
public building in the hands of the ''bad
man from Bitter Root" What elegant
harmony there appears to be in Wash
ington-among North Dakotans-a
united belief in the rasca]ity of each
other.
