There are seventeen cases, so far re-
ported, of typhoid fever in the town.
Some of 1t is, it is claimed, due to the
tearing up of our streets. Be this as
it may, we think the town is awful

| SO?

Our citizens were just as jubilant
over the big flow of water they got in
! the we'll upon the hospital grounds as
| If 1t had been an oil well. They en-
| countered a flow OF water, just what

! $50 feet in a hard sand stone, that Is
making 800 barrels day, pure water,
not oil Another well like this, it is
| thought, will supply all the demands,
| and it will probably be put down at
! once. This encourages the electric
| light people, and we understand they
| will start to drilling for this same
! streak of water at once. Would 1t not
be nice If we could get such water flow
| ing through our city mains?
