new RESERVOIR
NOW READY
Water Will Be Turned on Normal
Hill Through the New
System Monday

Superintendent of water works. w.
A. Smith, announces that he expects on
Monday next to make test of the high
reservoir and will on that date connect
the hill district with the new reservoir
system. Meanwhile he will sever all
connections between the hill district
and the lower town, and the hill dis
trict will be served from the new res
ervoir and the lower town from the old
reservoir, each system being independ-
ent.
The pressure from the high reservoir
will give the hill district force of
about 80 pounds double what they are
now receiving. The pressure in the
lower town when the hill district is cut
sure from the high reservoir is turned
into the lower town the combined pres
sure would make a working efficiency
of 140 pounds pressure. Such an in
creased force would materially dam
age some of the imperfect plumbing
known to exist in the city, and Super
intendent Smith will endeavor to sever
and the lower town before he turns on
the water Monday.
Speaking Of the efficiency of the new
pumping plant, Superintendent Smith
has great praise for the new pump. 1t
costs no more to operate 1t he says
than it did the old one and it pumps
more than twice the amount Of water
He is enabled to give the city efficient
service and use only one shift day at
the power house, thus saving the ex-
Rense Of an extra man. There is at
present five feet Of water in the new
reservoir which was pumped in there
several days ago. The reservoir shows
no indication of leakage and the depth
will be increased from day to day I'M
til the tine of making the test.

A coNcIAvE OF DOCTORS.
Annual Convention of the American
Medical Association Is in Session.

Atlantic City, N. j., June S.-Mat-
ters pertaining to the public health
occupied the attention of the Ameri-
can Medical association which began
it's fifty-fifth annual session here
Tuesday. 1t was a busy day for the
1000 and more physicians who are
here, representing every section OF
the country.
Among the most important features
of the day was the address of the new
president, DIR. John II. Musser, of
Philadelphia. He spoke on the medi-
cal profession in general, but laid par
ticular stress on the education of stu
dents. He asserted that a majority
of the medical students. were unfit to
practice and he advocated a closer
scrutiny of the moral, mental and
physical capabilities of prospective
doctors.
Another matter of widespread inter
est was a discussion of radium and its
therapeutic possibilities. The subject
was presented in a paper read by DR.
William Allen Pusey, of Chicago, who
declared that the curative properties
of radium were vastly inferior to the
X-ray. He said that he did not be-
lieve the newly discovered element
would become an important factor in
the medical world.

THE RUSH WILL BE GREAT.
Thousands of People Intend Locating
on Land to be Thrown Open tc
Homesteaders

Omaha, Neb., June S.-The interest
in the opening of the Rosebud reser-
vation in South Dakota and the graz
ing land in northern Nebraska is
very great. The letters received by
the officials of the Chicago & North
western railway from intending set
tiers come from all over the United
States. Indications point to the TAX
ing advantage of the Kinkaid bill, un-
der which a homesteader can enter a
whole section of public land in the
grazing district of western Nebraska.
Under the Kinkaid bill there are
over S,500,000 acres of public land
from which to make selections, and a
man with a family of three boys and
two unmarried daughters, all over 81
years old, can enter six sections, or
3,S40 acres, at an expense of S14.00
per section. II is believed that many
of the settlers will select a cattle
ranch and begin stock raising.
