Mishap at the Arteslan Wei,

The pipe and pumping cylinder at
the arteSian we'll slipped from the
"head" Saturday and dropped down
and the cylinder lodged in the siX-
inch pipe, which had been cut off
down about 200 feet. When the pump
jack was pu' in the water came With
in d few feet Ut the surface and the
cylinder was only hung down Il length
of pipe which was screwed in the
"head" and only calculated to hold the
one length Of pipe. Since that time
the water has 10 wered and there was
at the time OF the accident about
eighty feet Of pipe hanging with the
cylinder on the end. RuSting Of the
threads on the pipe and also the
weight OF the pipe caused the trouble.
Luckily the pipe stood straight in the
we'll and it was hooked on to the first
time they tried to get it and is now In
place again.

Something Will Be Done Now

The accident at the we'll Saturday
as told elsewhere in today'S GRAPHIC,
empathiZes the need of an entire over
hauling in the machinery in the pump
house.
While %. P. Ochsner was in Sioux
City last week he put in the greater
part of four days investigating the
different water systems there as in
operation by factories and so on. In
all of them the pump system had been
done away with and the air lift sub.
Stituted.
This is the system advocated by
MI. White, whom the GRAPHIC in.
duced to come to Kimball a couple of
years ago. AS practical with what
we have in kimball it would consist
OF an air compressor belted to the en-
CINE and driving a stream of air direct
ly down into the water of the we'll and
forcing it in the supply tank instead
OF pumping it in. The Sioux City
me say that there is nothing equals
it for getting water from an artesian
we'll which has ceased to flow, or from
any other we'll with an inexhaustible
supply.
Compressors can be had which will
lift from 1000 gallons an hour to any
amount. 1t is barely possible that the
engine now in use would drive a com.
preSSOr Of sufficient size to fill the bill.
No complicated machinery is in use,
the compressor doing the whole bust
ness. But the supply pipe must 20
into the top Of the tank instead OF
the bottom as now arranged. But
this would be a small matter. There
is no danger of freezing, as the water
flows back into the we'll as soon as the
engine stops.
Two pipes are connected with the
we'll, n an air pipe running down IN
depth according to the height the
water must be lifted above the sur
face, and the other to carry the water
driven out by compressed air into the
supply tank.
There is no m%onkeying with cylln-
ders and pipes down the we'll or other
appliances always getting out of order.
The GRAPHIC move that Mayor
Parker and some member of the coun-
Gil visit Sioux City also and convince
themselves what is best to do. 1T is
better for the town to expend $50 to
500 looking around and Investigating
thai to haye to spend ten times That
later making changes.
