About the hardest and toughest
slam on our local water conditions
was that administrated by vender
of red lemonade last Saturday on the
occasion of Pawnee Bills visit to this
city. Evidently noticing that some
people looked askance at his ware
ne shouted at the top of his voice.
You need not be afraid of this
water for it is not La Junta water.
We brought it along all the way
from Dodge City, Kan. and it is
absolutely pure and undefiled." "
We don't know whether many La
Junta people bit at this bait or not.
but we presume they did. fer some
people will bite at any old kind of
bait. La Junta water has been so
widely and extensively advertised OF
late through handbills, letters of
inquiry. a nd newspapers that it
is seemingly held in as great alb
horence as some deadly poison by
people living outside of town.
Pawnee Bill heard of our terrible
water conditions and came very near
canceling his date at La Junta. As
precautionary. measure he brought
all the water he could paak wifi
him from Dodge City for the use of
man and beast. Considering con-
ditions as they really are this was a
huge joke on Pawnee Bill. The
last issue Of the Dodge City Repub-
iican says: "A week ago samples of
the city water were taken from
Dodge City to the State University
to be examined. The water was
found to be unfit for use for
domestic purposes. The mayor has
been warned by the state health au-
thorities of the conditions of the
water here and no doubt will take
the matter in hand at once. The
health authorities have recon-
mended the immediate removal of
some of the causes of the waters
pollution and advise good draining
of the territory west Of the wells.
The character of the information
which comes from the state health
authorities is enough to scare most
anybody into action" People in La
Junta who drank red lemonade made
out of Dodge City water are hereby
duly warned. as the Dodge City
paper says that sickness of some
kind can scarcely fail to result from
the use Of our city water" If we
have anv more typhoid fever in this
city we can lay it on to Dodge City
water and give Franklin's milk, the
artesian wells and our own city
water a rest. Newspapers report
