eminent for a National
Park.
tLal;ue County Herald ]

Sometime ago the society known
as the Spanish War Veterans COM
municate with Mr.. X. j. Collier,
the present owner of the Lincoln
farm, near Hodgenville, and offered
to buy the place from him and make
the necessary improvements to con-
vert it into a public park. Mr.. Col
lier took the matter under advise
ment and few days ago gave them
his reply.
He stated, that, if il were his in
tention to place the historic home in
the hands Of any society for preser-
walton, he would gladly accept the
offer of the Spanish War Veterans.
But he had fully considered the mat
ter and, his only object being to pre-
serve the place for the benefit of the
American public, he had decided
that he would place the farm in no
keeping other than the United
States.
At the proper time, when Con-
gress convenes Mr.. Collier will for
mally tender the ownership to Lin
coins birthplace to the government,
with the understanding. however,
that an appropriation of sufficient
size be made for the purpose of con-
verting it into a national park. 1t
Is thought that there will be no
trouble in getting Congress to ac-
cept the place and make the necessa-
ny appropriation.

STRANGE LAKE
Has Arisen in Nebraskan Barren

A lake 20 miles long and from
three to five miles wide has suddenly
sprung n.to existence in the sand
hills of Central Nebraska. Where
six months ago there were wastes Of
mud is now body of water 10 to 80
feet deep and constantly raising.
The overflow has found an outlet
and started down the valley toward
the Missouri River, forming a stream
the length of which no one can
imagine.
1t has been known for years that
almost the whole OF the central, II
not the entire western, part, OF the
state had AN underflow of water,
draining down from the Rocky
Mountains. Cattle kings have used
il by sinking what are known as
flowing" wells. These are distin-
guished from artesian wells. which
must be sunk to great depth. The
Flowing" water Is found at depth
Of 90 to 80 feet.
This is supposed to be the origin
Of the newly created lake. The phe-
nomenon was FIRST notified in June
by man who was surprised one day
in passing depression in his land TO

But day by day the voume Of wa

This little overflow trickled down

way toward the large stream, and

CITY WATER SUPPLY.

Captain Haynes, of the firm OF
Haynes & Bonney explained TO a Re
cord representative recently some of
the advantages they have to offer in
the matter of a water supply for fire
protection. And since they have,
with the exception of a small plant
two miles from town. the only power
plant available thai can be operated
without the expense of coal and skill
ed engineers, the suggestions of
Capt. Haynes are worth serious con
s%ideration.
Capt. Haynes has lived in Roswell
many years, and he and his partner
are so identified with the interests
of Roswell that they are willing 10
give the sfty the benefit of all the
advantages they possess in the mat
ter of a water supply. They will
build h s~tandpipe and water mains
and charge the city a fair rental for
fire protection, or they will allow the
city to build the standpipe, lay it's
mains ETC., and they will contract to
pump the water. Still better, if the
city wishes to buy their power plant
and build its own water works. they
will sell the plant and water right.

water power plant is supplying pure
artesian water TO the Spring River
Heights addition, and has a surplus
