Of discussion since that time The selling,
however, looked good one of the houses
which was most prominent on that side
being generally recognized as being
among those frequently selected for the
execution Of orders for the Hartman in
terests. There was. of course, nothing
TO show that the selling in question had
any real significance. or that the orders
were not received from speculative oper-
ators for the fall, who took this means of
disturbing confidence 20 as large an eX-
tent as possible. Something Of the same
kind OF tactics may have been followed in
a number Of other stocks in which, as
one trader expressed 1t, the selling ap-
peared to him "suspiciously good.
Vying with Union Pacific in point Of
activity, Amalgamated Copper opposed
strong resistance TO pressure even under

Great Northern showed as heavy de

Committee is Looking Up Sewer Sys.
TENS in Cities Of State Situated
as is Theirs.

A party of Bottineau officials spent
last night in the city on their way to
Hillsboro where they will inspect the
water system of that city. The party
was composed of Mayor Newhouse,
Aldermen Nero, Berthaume, Boyer and
Mcintosh, and City Attorney Bowen.
Bottineau is planning splendid
water works system, and the city Off
Gals are determined to give the peo-
pie the most value for their money
expended. To this end they are in
specting the systems of other towns
which are similarly situated, and
from the information thus secured
they will be able to give Bottineau
system that will be the best in the
country. The water supply will be
obtained from deep wells in the city,
and will be pumped to an elevated
tank something like two hundred
feet high which will give the desired
power and pressure for fire fighting
purposes as we'll as to carry it to-
every building in the city. Bonds
will be voted by the city to cary out
the improvement and in all proba-
bility something like 100000 will be
expended in the work. When it is
completed the city will be among the
best modernized and up-tO-date in the
state.
The party will probably stop at
Devils Lake on it's return and inspect
the system in use in that city. The
crowd was an enthusiast one and
Bottineau could do no better than
send it out again on booming trip.
