a Curiosity at Fort Riley That Hasn't Been
Explained.
There is natural curiosity in the vicin-
ity of Fort Riley in the shape of a we'll
on the farm of Henry Myers.
1t is an ordinary drilled well, about 1875
feet deep. 1t was put down ten or fif-
teen years ago. Passers-by are at first
struck with peculiar roaring sound,
coming from the well.
Upon removing the fat rock which
covers the we'll the person making the
investigation is met by Whit of ice
cold air, which rushes out with great We
locity. Every winter the water freezes
in the well to a depth of forty feet.
The Manhattan Nationalist gives an
account of the we'll this week, conclud-
ing with the statement that the story is
not fake.
1t is said that a number of scientific
gentlemen have examined the we'll lately.

For Good Roads.

The town of Two Harbors has made
move for good roads which should
be emulated by every town in the
county, says the Two Harbors News.
The supervisors have purchased d
complete modern road making outfit,
including steam road roller, rock
crusher, engine and other articles, at
a cost of $1,000. Combined with their
new scraper, they have an outfit
second to none possessed by any Min
nesota town, and very few Of the
cities are SO we'll provided. Since the
organization of Lake county, fully
SO, 900 has been expended on roads by
the county, towns and village. Yet
there is not a mile of first class modern
road in the county, and some roads on
which hundreds of dollars have been
expended can be hardly designated
trails.
Approaching the effectiveness of
such expenditure, and realizing that
annually patching poor roads will
never result in good roads, the board
concluded to repudiate old methods,
and recommence right. Every mile
of road now built will be rolled and
macadamiZed and put there to stay
for all the time.
