SOUTH SCRANTON NOTES.
John Powinsky Spent Thanksgiving
Day Trying to Bail Out the
Roaring Brook.

On Thursday, a man who had his
own notion of how to celebrate Thanks
giving. got into the Roaring Brook,
just below the Robinson brewery, and
for over an hour bailed water with a
leaky can in fruitless endeavor to dry
up the creek. Failing in this, he waded
about. up and down and across. work
ing his legs vigorously. with the evil
dent intention OF swamping or splish-
ing ont the water.
His strange actions attracted the at
tention of many people, and finally the
police We're notified. He was taken in
custody by Patrolmen Rose and Boland
and after a desperate struggle was
landed in the station house on Alder
street. Yesterday he gave his name to
Alderman Storr as John Powinsky, and
his honor in return gave him the option
of paying S. for his liberty or going to
Jail. The money was paid.

Too Much Water.

A traveing man whose duties COM
pell him to drive through the farm
ing districts of he west where irrigat-
ion is required was talking to a Signal
reporter Thursday and said" For
years l have had exceptional oppor-
tunlt.s to study the results of irrigat
ion, and my conclusion is that farm
ing by irrigation is most profitable
where water is scarce and exceedingly
expensive At such place every
gallon of water is conserved and high
ly piized. Ground is broken at the
proper time, it Is carefully cultivated,
moisture is saved in the most approv-
ed manner, the water is applied 1T the
right time and in the proper quantity
In tquence bigger and better
crops are secured than at places whe' e
water is plrn-tiful ami is applied law
ishly, flooding the ground as dong
Ms much harm as good"
These remarks should be thought
fully considered by all lrrigators OF
this locality.
