The railroad company is putting spur
in below the main station for the better
handling of freight, and is lighting all parts
of the station with electricity. To show

The water company's well has nowreached
depth of three hundred feet, and the layer
Of black, sticky clay which was struck
after drilling about one hundred feet, has
not yet been passed through. This upsets
the theories of the biologists who stated
that an abundance Of water would be found
at depth of about 210 feet. Haines Bro
who recently bored a well for r. II. Comey
had the luck to strike sufficiency of good
water at depth of $50 feet, and the wells
are not more than 300 yards apart. The
company has faith to believe that the
stratum of clay does not reach to China,
and the laying of the pipes is progressing
rapidly.
