tenance of a permanent fighting fleet
in the Pacific hereafter.
Whether the entire feet of eighteen
vessels which is now destined for the

there is a vast change in the aspect of
international politics.
In addition to the necessity of urg-

now be accentuated by the presence of
the fleet there, the administration is de-
clared by close students in Washing

Artesian Water.
Some difficulty is being experienced
by the contractors who are engaged
in drilling the two government arte-
sian wells on the shores of Lake An
des, Charles Mix county. Congress
made a liberal appropriation for the
sinking of the two wells. which are de-
signed to raise the water level in Lake
Andes and make the lake one of the
finest bodies of water in South Dako-
ia. When the drill In one of the wells
had reached a depth of about $50 feet
it struck a strong vein of water. which
appears to have washed large gravel
stones into the hole. The drill be-
came wedged and the drillers were
compelled to stop work and send for
a rotary drill with which they will
drill around the obstruction. Had this
unexpected delay not occurred the
first well would have been completed
not later than the latter part of this
week.
