Delegate Andrews has been
writing some OF the old soldiers
OF this county that the News IS
fighting his nomination on purely
personal grounds. \ veteran who
stood in the ihickCst OF the smoke
OF many battles in the Civil wal
showed US one OF these epistlcs
this week where Andrews is claim
ing all the credit tor the acts OF
the pension bureau that affects
veterans in this territory. This
would lead one TO believe that our
delegate is getting childish and We
shall not he surprised that before
the campaign ends that he will he
claiming the pension department
as his own personal property TO
dictate its action at will. The
News has no personal motive IN
opposing Andrews and there is
not a republican newspaper in New
Mexico that has commended his
good deeds moro promptly than
the News. 1t is not that wc love
Caesar less. but Rome morc, that
has determined our action in this
matter. The News has every
reason to believe that we have a
hard fight in the territory TO win
this delegate election and we con-
slider Andrews the least capable OF

has among Pennsylvania and New

understand that We are TO hc tried
on our merits aud not on Andrews

chances we are going to have Tor

Looks Much Like
Municipal Plant
Council Votes to Hold Special Election to Vote on Water
Works Bonds--Think They Are Available Funds
Lo;kken Appeared Before Council

Mr. Wheeler had a proposition to
submit to the council, SO he said, and
the mayor explained that all PROPOSE
tions could be submitted to the coun-
Gil and they would be thought over In
due course Of time. .
H. e.. Loikken, the engineer from
Grand Forks, appeared before the
council and explained how the city
could put up an up.to-date water
works plant for $4,000, including
a filtration plant. The filtration plant
would cost about $1,000. This would
furnish about a million and half
Independent 80 Gal TWO =.
gallons of water in a day Grand
Forks uses only a third that mucn
water, so this ought to do Mlnot tor
a year or two anyway Mr.. LolKKen
gave some interesting figures about
artesian wells in the state. he SAID
that the well at Leeds is 1000 feet
deep; that at Harvey 1900 feet; Car
rington 1900, and he thought one
could be located at NIinot at about the
same depth. Carrington's well furn-
shes 1900 gallons minute. Such wells
cost about $4,000 each. Kenmare
struck a good artesian we'll at much
shallower depth, but such local drifts
are hard to strike.
Mayor Clark stated that he believed
| that the bonds would carry by a
! large majority, and he thought the
| council ought to get busy and pro-
vide for the system just as though
the election were over. We can save
fifteen days in this way. It looks very
lmuch as though the councilmen were
| determined to put in a municipal
plant.
The councilmen talked over the pro.
position OF getting the water from the
lwest of the city
| John Ehr appeared before the coun'
Gil and made the city a proposition
to sell the city three and a half acres
of ground through which the river
passes for pumping station. He
tstated that he would take $1,000 for
| the land, and maybe a little less. Mr..
Ehr is willing to trade this property
for the creamery property; or ne Is
willing to experiment for good wells
on the property providing the city
will make him an offer for the land
with the wells. He is open for deals
of any kind. He stated that he wanted
to see Minot get good water and
would make any kind of trade which
would help the city.
The mayor thought it would be q
! good plan for the council to confer
with c. A. Johnson on waterworks
site before the primaries.

Great Gas Find At Westhope

Word was received from the gas
country near Westhope that in drilling
one Of the deep wells Monday gas
was encountered which is good for a
million cubic feet per day. This is
good news, but not entirely unexpect-
ed, for the proposition has looked
right from the very start. Work will
go right on with the drilling of the
deep wells, and more gas will I'M
doubtedly be found. 1t is proposed to
pipe this gas to Minot this fall if
possible, a company having been or
ganized for this purpose. AS the wells
