Vinita's Remarkable Wells.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The greatest feature that distinguishes
Vinita from all other towns is her flowing
arteSian wells, now numbering twenty-five.
The water Is found at a depth of little
over 500 feet, and, when tapped. flows con-
tinuousiy. 1t is not only perfectly pure
and pleasant to the taste, but has medici-
nal qualities that are certain, when its
virtues become known to make Vinita the
seat OF vast sanitarium. In fact, such
an institution Is soon to be erected by
company now forming.
Two wells are constantly diScharging
into large, cemented reservoir, and the
water is then pumped into a 30, ee0-gallon
steel tank 40 feet from the ground. From
this it passes through mains and pipes into
the homes of the people. This water is
furnished at absolute cost, or at least that
is the intention, the system belonging to
the city.
All but four of these wells are on private
property; in some instances a number of
neighbors dubbed together, sank a we'll
and thus secured private supply the
natural force being sufficient to send the
water into all parts of the houses. The
fiat price for drilling one of these wells is
$50, though the drillers will not covenant
to go more than 600 feet for that sum.
The uniform pressure at the surface of
these wells is thirry five pounds to the
square inch.
There has been much discussion the past
year or TWO regarding the medicinal quail
ties of Vinita'S arteSian water 1t has
been said that there is and is not sulphur
in the water that the odor is due to the
sodium chloride common salU and cal
cium.
The above analysis did not seem to ac-
count for the gas flowing with the water
which burns, and upon inquiry Prof Holt
er replies: AS to the free gas you say is in
the water which burns, l know nothing
about it. The material you get that burns
is without doubt natural gas"
The quantity of water which the wells of
Vinita would discharge in an hour is not
known. Most, if not all, of them are so
cased that the discharge is through a two
inch pipe, and if permitted they flow a full
stream with the pressure stated. The
Marks well, sunk by a local DEVELOPMENT
syndicate last spring to a depth of lOO7
feet, was left open for number of months.
and the discharge was a veritable creek
which flowed through the north part of
town, to the injury of the streets and an
noyance of persons driving in that section.

moments she wrote hymn books.
Gyp initiated her mothers dialogues with
immense success In any quantity of sa-

become very popular and has many prac-

Not What It Used to Be.

In addition, the population Of the city
has broadened out from the central section.
and has come to occupy what were former
ly the outlying portions Of the city's terri
tory. This latter fact has made further
changes, and this is especially true along
the banks of Rock Creek, which at one
time were rather picturesque and were
covered with a wealth of foliage.
Now, however, these banks, which sloped
SO gracefully down to the edge of the crys-
tai stream, and were fragrant with the
odor of flowers, and bright with graceful
forms of foliage plants and trees, show
great bare expanses of ash dumps. The
vegetation has disappeared, or is merely
wild mass There is no beauty in the turg1d
stream of water that sluggishly flows
along, carrying with 1t a portion OF the
sewerage of the city. What is wanted now
is to have this space occupied by the
stream covered up, that there will be no
interruption to the growth Of the city,
which has come up as closely as is possible
to the banks on both sides. What has been
done on the line Of Massachusetts avenue
is recommended as the proper treatment OF
the section of the stream to the south.

Means of Access.

The bridge or culvert at Massachusetts ave-
nue. serves to furnish short means of access
to the upper section of the District. but 1t
is quite evident that another bridge Is
needed to supply the needs of the people
who live in Georgetown Q street has been
mentioned as the most suitable location
for a new bridge and, no doubt, If that was
DONE Q street would soon become thor
oughfare and relieve the congestion which
is already manifest on P street.
The movement outward of the population
of the city, of which the above In large
part are indications, Is illustrated also in
the extension of the lines of the street
railroad systems. Recently the tracks OF
the 18th street line have been carried near
w a mile north from Florida avenue, which
brings it to a point farther north than the
14th street line The latter, however. is to
be extended to Spring street, which will be
a farther move in the northern direction.

Rock Creek Betterment.

The demand for the Improvement of the
conditions about Rock Creek. especially
that portion of the stream which extends
from above the P street bridge to the
Potomac river, is becoming so urgent, or
rather the necessity for doing something is
so imperative, that it seems this important
work cannot be delayed much longer. A
beginning has been made to bring about a
change in the region about the Eastern
Branch and transform the stretch of
swamp and partially water covered land
into an attractive park.
What is to be done in that section can
be understood by seeing what has been
accomplished with the famous Potomac
flats, extending short distance below
Easby's Point to the Washington Barracks,
or War College. as it is now called These
water courses formed the boundaries of
the city in part at least on three sides, and
while at the beginning they were no doubt
fine streams of water, the vicinity of the
city, as well changes in the volume of
water, has wrought complete transforma-
ton in their appearance and character.

THE PETROLEUM MARKET.

There was little in the way of developments either

tinued to hold back great deal OF work IN all sec

Those wells which could be called producers which
were completed during the week averaged smaller
than usual, and none found anywhere in new

The counsel interested in the Shipbuilding suits

kirkpatrick, who sits to-day in the United States
Circuit Court in Trenton. will hear the argll-
ments which adjourned last Wednesday I'm

Charles NJ. Schwab. argue to-day against two mo-
tons which Samuel Untermyer. Of counsel for the
bondholders who brought the suit for permanent
receiver OF the Shipbulding Company, had made
one OF the motions to compel Charles NJ.
Schwab to answer certain questions which he had
refused TO by advice OF counsel In the hear

other motion was to consolidate all the ShpbuildnS
suits including the suit for foreclosure of the
AT the same time a motion to transfer the hear
ms before the special examiner to open court made
by Mr.: Guthrie for the purpose of protecting Mr..
SchWab, was to be argued.
The notice of delay until next Monday indicates
that Judge kirkpatrick is not ready pass on
other motions which were made and agreed by
counsel last Wednesday. one of those motions
was 10 admit the insolvency OF the United States
Shipbuilding Company and permit the temporary
receiver. James Smith il, to be made the per-
manent receiver of the company. Another, TO
he understood later withdraw his consent
was TO make Charles NJ. Schwab party defendant
