Notice 10 Water Patrons.

On Monday night, workmen will begin putting in the new force pump at the power house, and during the progress of this work, it will be necessary to cut off the water supply of the entire town. It may not require more than 12 hours to do the work, and it may take longer. Therefore, notice is hereby given to all pa irons of the water plant that be- ginning at [ o'clock Monday night no water can be used until the work of putting in the pump is finished. This condition is caused by reason of a failure to put i'll a cut off valve at the power house when the mains were first laid. Eight workmen will push the placing of the pump as fast as possible,

Little Rock 4, New Orleans 3.

New Orleans, Aug. 9. Illus ky" Hughes had two innings today when the proverbial March hare was mild and tame in com parison. That fact, and that alone, made today's game inter- eSting
 The Pelicans took advantage of "Husky's" temporary inability to make connections with the plate to shove two runs across in the opening round. That made them look pretty good in the eyes of the home fans until the Colts made great batting rally in the fourth and knocked out three tallies.
 In the eighth Hughes was again seized with the affiiction that troubled him in the first. He gave two passes and made a wild pitch, which enabled the birds to tie it up once more, thus forcing Dust" Miller to fail out two sacker in the eighth and put the Colts in the lead, which they held to the finish, for Husky once more had control of the pellet when he came up for the final round.

Water Now Being Pumped
Into Irrigation Canal
al WiAiStOn

Williston, N. D., Oct. S--Today wat
er is flowing in the large irrigation
canal and people are making trips
to the reservoir and canal watching
them being filed. The engineers in
charge intended to begin pumping
several days ago, but as the needed
machinery was tried different parts
needed attention, and it was not un-
til this forenoon that the pumps of
the barge worked satisfactorily. On
ly one is being used today, owing to
the lack of steam, but this one is
filing up the large canal very rapidly.
The large pumps at the power house
were also busy filling the large canal
on the east side of the Muddy, which
runs several miles up the valley. The
filing of the canals is something the
farmers have been looking forward
to for several months. and now that
the water is really there they will
feel better. All farmers who have
contracted for water ought to get
busy and get their 1aterals run SO as
