GASOLINE POWER FOR COUNTRY
HOME.

Comparatively few country homes
have, as yet, a system of water-works
which supplies water to all parts of
the house But we are speedily com
ing to that The day isn't far off
when the pump will no longer be OPP
Grated by hand, and water will be at
our service "up stairs, down stairs,
and in my lady's chamber" This is
as it should be, for the household that
is obliged to make many trips to the
pump in the yard daily wastes a good
deal of time and labor that might
better be applied to other work. The
small gasoline engine is going to solve
the problem of water-supply for the
house for us. 1t is going to do away
with the noisy, unsightly, and compli-
Gated windmill. 1t can easily be
made to pump from the well or other
source of water-supply to the attic of
the house, from which it can be dis
tributed everywhere in pipes. Such
a system can be put into any house
with but very little trouble, at any
time, if open plumbing is not objected
to, and nowadays most persons pre-
fer that to the concealed system.
Large tanks or reservoirs will not be
needed, for few minutes operation of
the engine each day will be sufficient
to lift all the water required during
twenty-four hours. The fresher 1t is
the better. The services Of a plumber
will be necessary. of course, IN in
stalling such system, but, this Dice
done. end done well, there ought to be
very little expense connected with it
thereafter Pipes leading to rooms in
which there is not sufficient heat in
winter, to prevent their freezing

FIRE DESTROYS HOME.
Former Resident of GAINESVILLE Burned
Out at Max, N. D. &
SnetIal To Times Republican

Clarksville. April 5.-Miss Lu Wal
rath, formerly of Clarksville, lost her
home and its contents at Max, n. D.,
on March %. The house was not quite
completed tho she occupied 1t. The
loss on the residence was $500. and on
her personal property $780, with no in
surance. Speaking of the fire, the Max
Enterprise of March %, says.
Miss Lu Walrath had the misfortune
to lose her house and entire contents
by fire which started in the second
story in some manner from the stove
pipe where it passed thru the roof.
There was IL strong wind blowing at
the time and the fire gained such rap
id Roadway that the neighbors who
gathered as quickly as they could had
no chance to save any of the contents
which consisted of furniture, organ and
books. The loss is estimated at $500
and no insurance was carried. This
surely is loss such as only the one
that is the loser can comprehend what
1t means. Miss Walrath will rebuild
at once.

10000 and less than $4,000. This is
for the benefit of Clinton county. The
purpose of the bill was to make the
salaries of county attorneys uniform
over the state. Under the old law the
supervisors fixed the salary and hardly
two counties paid the same salary.
There was some excitement in the
senate yesterday when suggestion
was made as to the necessity for the
legislature to rearrange the senatorial
districts. The inequality in these dis
tricts has long been recognized. Sem
ator Hughes, chairman of the COM
mittee, stated that the matter had been
Investigated and it was found that I'M
der the amendments to the constitution
it will not be possible to rearrange tire
districts until the session of 1911. This
settled the matter.
The senate refused yesterday to take
up the Allen bill on the furnishing of
cars and pass it out of its order. The
bill is short but it has caused the rail-
road people great deal OF annoyance
lately. Senator Allen says that it
will cause them more trouble next
session for he will start on it early.
