RICHARD 2. MORRIS. Mayor.
Asks Councils Permission.
Mayor Morris asked the councils
authority to limit sprinkling lawns in
the following communication:
August IA, 1905.
ITO the Honorable President and Mem
bers of the City Council:
'Gentlemen-Owing to the unusual
shortag &c of water at the present time,
and with a fear that the present un-
precedented dry period may continue
for some time to come, and from the
fact that at the present time there Is
not sufficient water to sprinkle the
lawns of the city and the streets at the
same time. and firmly believing that
the health of the city depends largely
on the sprinkiing of the streets,
therefore respectfully recommend that
the sprinkling of lawns be curtailed
until such time when the water press
ure attains it's normal condition.
Under the city ordinances, the
mayor may be authorized by special
resolution to curtail the use of the
water for certain purposes, and 1 re-
specially recommend that your hon
orable body adopt such a resolution
that will enable me to issue proclama-
ton covering the matter.
Very respectfully,
RICHARD p. MORRIS,

FARMER WILL USE
MOTOR FOR BINDERS.

Grand Forks, N. d, Aug. is, Wit
liam Simpson, a prominent farmer liv-
ing few miles east of the city, was in
town yesterday making inquiries for
small sized gasoline motors, which he
purposed to attach to his binders TO fur
nish the operating power. He did not
succeed in finding any that Just suit
ed his purpose and will probably send
to the twin cities to see what he can
get there. The land over in that Sec
tion IS low and flat, and IN consequence
of the continued rains has been very
wet all the season and is still wet at the
present time He finds it almost inpos-
sible to operate the binder successfully.
The grain is very heavy and the ball
wheel as soon as it is given the work
of operating the machinery, cuts down
into the soft earth, and everything
comes to sudden stop Mr, Sinp-
son says that two horses could easily
draw the binder at fair speed and he
is Of the opinion that If he can rig up
a small motor on the binder to drive the
binding machinery, he will have solved
the difficult problem. u

FAITHFUL DOG WATCHED
MISTRESS DEAD BODY

Mason City, Ia, Aug. 18.-The f.
deity Of dog was clearly den1onstrat-
ed here the other day. Mrs. Michael
Toner was found dead in the Coldwa-
ter, small stream running through
Dougherty. The family had shep-
herd dog they value very highly. This
dog had a fondness for Mrs. Toner In
the early morning she arose and it
is thought that while under some tenn
porary arrangement she went to the
stream and drowned herself. The dog
accompanied her to the stream and
four hours after it is thought the deed
was committed, the dog was found on
the bank near where the body lay in
the water. Strangers were first to
approach and discovered the body.
The dog would not allow them to
touch it and they had to send for MEM
bers of the family before the faithful
dog would relnquish his watch Thr
dog was wet and it is evident from the
appearance Of her clothing that he had
tried to pull her to the shore.
