press their stamps, but this was not
successful until 1902, when Wurtem-

word "Reichsposte'' Qmperial

After Hot Water.

The plan of securing heat from hot
water deep in the earth. which has
been followed at Boise. Idaho, is ere
atlng a great deal of discussion in
Pierre. where the chances of carving
out the same plan appear to be better
Than at any other point in this sec
ton of the country.
At Boise, the temperature of the
water ecured was 100 degrees at 1000
feet, and $50 degrees at 1000 feet. At
Pierre the water is secured at a tenn
perature of 81 degrees at 1000 feet,
and while it would probably be neces-
sary to go more than 1000 feet to get
the required temperature, it would
probably be easier secured here than
at any other place in this part of
the northwest.
