WATER ONE HOUR A DAY.
st. Adams All But Completely Shut
on From Supply


st. Adams, Oct 22.--It Is probable
now, owing TO the low conditions Of
the city reservoir, that by Friday, water
connections will be discontinued except
for one hour a day and II IL Is found
that this one hour day schedule Is
abused by the water consumers, the wa
ter will be shut OF entirely. II is ex.
pected that tho eight.foot water mark
will be reached to-day and this is con
sidered the danger level. Hope for a
water supply is now oentered in the
pump az st. Adams Bay which will be
installed at the street railway dock as
rapidly as possible. Several carloads
of pipe arrived yesterday afternoon and
the work OF unloading and distributing
IL was begun at once, rs men with teams
being put at work Immediately. The
ditohing and grading are almost com.
pleted already and the laying of the
pipe wil be done as soon az Is on the
ground. A night shift may be put on.

Says the Springfield Republican:
Again it is to be said that, interesting
as the political situation has become of
late, the most serious matter which con-
fronts the American people to-day is the
lack Of rain. The people Of this region
have read much about threatening for
est fires in the Adirondaeks and the
woods Of Maine, but now the peril has
reached this region in very threatening
form. Men who have been fighting the
fires on Hoosac mountain report that
the fire has gone deep into the earth
among the roots and mold, and this is
true so generally that the Green noun
tetn range Is very seriously and con
stantly menaced. There will have to be
the utmost watchfulness, and the hard
est kind Of work, until the long hoped
for rain shall come, II our woods are
not to be destroyed and villages and
towns and lonely human habitations
burned with them. 1t is a brazen sky
that stiA bends over the suffering earth,
and the prayer for rain has become uni
versal in the hearts Of the people"
