Review'sLowell Bureau, Sept q.


 Clean as a pin is Lowell today and clean as the new article right from the factory is the town to be kept. say the business men who have sub scribed a fund to be used for street cleaning, sprinkling and fire protec- tion purposes.
 The cleaning under the new arrange ment commenced yesterday. when wa ter was again turned on in the sprink- ling service pipes after having been out of service since a flood a couple of months ago that filled the dam at the Lowell from which the water was being drawn. Now the connection is direct with the output of the Lowell mine pumps and there will be no more trouble about the water for street pur- poses. The pressure in these service pipes is sufficient also to provide considerable protection from small fires.
 For fire protection, however, the Lowell business men have secured ar engagements with the Bisbee Water Go. which will very shortly be effect i've. In addition the business men have decided to purchase l 1.000 feet of ? 1-2 inch hose for fire protection purposes. This hose in case of need may be hitched onto Bisbee fire plugs, while the size of the Lowell fire plugs will correspond with those of Bisbee and may be used in case of need by the Bisbee department to aid in fight ing a Lowell fire. For the purpose of purchasing the hose and attending to the streets about $500 has been sub scribed. For the present no chemical engine will be purchased, though there are advocates of this step on the ground that with the equipment now contemplated the Lowell department can give no assistance in the case of fires ocurring off the ground imme- diately in town and below the rail road track.
 The Warren Development Co. yes terday commenced taking the water of the Lowell mine into the Hume in which it has been carrying Junction and C. & P. water to the big farm down the canyon. c. & P. water and Junction water have been crowding the Hume to the top of it's sides at cer- tain points along the line but it is believed that the increased pressure given by addition of the Lowell water will aid to carry the full stream past the flat parts in the Hume without allowing of much if any spilling. The Hume with the Lowell water is carry ing an output of about $500 gallons per minute c. & P. is delivering about 2.G00 gallons of this, Junction about 300 and the Lowell about 300 gallons.
 An important sale of local real es- tate to Michigan parties is reported in the transfer. for s10,000 of 50 feet front of the Wallace-Jnhnson ground occupied by their row of flats on Era street. Mir Wallace disposes of his half interest, Mir. Johnson remaining in joint possession of the property with the Michigan people.
 The great pile of wood at the Moore yard is shortly to be increased by ,00C more cords that are coming in from the Criricahuas. At present there are 1900 cords of wood in the yard.
 Greatly increased telephone busi- ness in the town and about it have compelled the telephone company tC make arrangements for the immedi ate installation of a big cable from Bisbee. On the Johnson and Lowel additions telephone and light demand have occasioned the erection there o a new pole line to take the place o the small poles that were put in fol the benefit of the additions a few months ago.
