horsepower engines. run by what is
known as producer gas powerful
Has made from anthracite coal and
which has proven to furnish most
economical power. To supply the gas
for these engines there will be two
gas producers Of 100 horse power
each. The engines will operate a
tripleS pump. the eapacity OF which
is 1000 gallons per minute. This il is
estimated will give water for four

hose.
In addition to pumping 1000 gallons
of water per minute the engines will
operate n 90 kilowatt dynamo. This
will furnish cictric power which will
be transmitted to the new artcsian
well. No. 6. for pumping purposes.
The engines will he started by

will always be ready. The compress
cd air will operate one cylinder OF
the engines for n short time until the

cylinder. when the air will he shut of.
The machinery is not expected to
arrive for about month and another
month will probably be required to
install IL ready for use.
The drilling of the new artesian

There is every reason to expect the
same large flow which made well No.
, the best artcsian well in Southern
Colorado.
The casing on the well at the pump
house Is leaking somewhat. and the
well is now being repaired. This
makes water shortage which is
doubtless being aggravated by n
waste OF water in ways contrary to
ordinance. With the installation OF
the meter system this would doubt
less be stopped. as an excessive use
OF water would make showing in
the quarterly bills. The council now
has a number of meters. in operation

act permitting the manufacture of 'do-
natured" alcohol, free. Henry Ford. the
Detroit Automobile Manufacturer, is pre-
pairing to meet the new conditions with
an automobile that will use the new fuel

has been conducting exhaustive expert

Inasmuch as President Roosevelt has set

Good Doctrine to Practice.

The best man we have in Our town
for the general good OF the town is
one you will always see on the front
seat in the progressive band wag.
on" He is the first one to extend
an open and warm hand to greet the
stranger and welcome him to the
best town in the state: He will re.
sent in insult to our town as quick
ly as he would slur at member
of his family. He very politely in
vites the chronic croakcr to move
on" He is ever ready to give his
just proportion to every public en-
terprise. He talks UP Our town at
home and abroad and believes it
the best place upon Gods earth i'll
which to live and desires to be bur.
led here when he dies. Let us all
try and be like this man for one
year and our little city will take. on
new life and improve as never before
in its history.-Encampmcnt Herald.

French surgeons are saying now
that American surgeons are too prone
to use the scalpcl on supposed cases
of appendicitis, for many supposed
bad cases will yield to milder treat
ment if properly applied. Too many
surgeons take delight in performing
"a brilliant operation" regardless OF
the result upon the patient. 1t Is

the knife whenever man has se-
we're pain in the stomach.

Perhaps the best compliment that can
be paid the Carnival that is being pro-

A number having expressad a desire to

$1OO REWARD, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutiOnal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in it's curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send
for list of testimonials.
