Rexburg has completed and has in
active service splendid water sys-
lem, The water supply is obtained
from well at depth of eighty feet,
sunk in solid lava There is an unlim-
tied supply of water and the quality
can not be questioned, as it comes
from strong underground current,
and is entirely free from sediment A
powerful pump, driven by fifty
horsepower electric motor, forces the
water through a twelve-inch pipe for
five blocks, up hill to the reservoir,
which is 1850 feet higher than our Main
street. and causes the water to exert
q pressure in town of sixty pounds
TO the square inch. The reservoir is
made of cement, and to protect the
water, is covered with good durable
roof. When full, the reservoir holds
10000 gallons of water. and pumps
$50 gallons a minute. A trifle more
than eight hours are required to fill
the reservoir.
Rexburg's fire hose in play will use
It's gallons OF water a minute and at
that rate it would require 16 hours to
empty the reservoir. The pipe be-
tween the we'll and the reservoir holds
Il 900 gallons of water, and can all be
used in town in case the supply of
the reservoir is exhausted. 1t Is esti-
mated that the average family of five
persons will use for all purposes 100 |
gallons Of water day. OF 20 gallons |
to the individual At this rate the |
reservoir holds sufficient water to
supply population of $500 water
users one day.
The expense of putting in the water
system has been met by a bond is
sue of $4,000, a part of which has
been used to equip fire department
The interest on the $4,000 amounts
to 500 month. and is met by a
special water tax.

tables and oats, together with sugar
beet raising, afford plenty TO keep the
farmer busy. The sugar factory, which
is located within three miles Of Rex
burg, distributed in three months to
raisers OF sugar beets last year about
$1,O00000. A great deal of the money
so distributed again linds it's way into
the Golfers of RexDurg merchants.
The attitude OF Rexburg is 1900
feet above sea level and the average
temperature for the year is 81 de-
grees. No cyclones or billiards visit
this part of Idaho.
The Oregon Short Line Railroad
passes directly through the city, and
during the present year the Rexburg
station has handled many thousand
cars of merchandise, stock and pro-
duce.
No commercial club in the Snake
River valley is stronger boosting"
organization than the Rexburg Com
mercial Club.

Activities in Business

No city in the state OF Idaho sup
ports its own institutions more loyal
ly than Rexburg and the consequence
is that the large and we'll stocked mer-
camille establishments are among the
finest and best in the intermountain
country. Every line OF business is
represented and as the city is grow
ing rapidly there is always splendid
opportunity for any live merchant to
succeed.
While Rexburg lays no claims to
pretentiousness, its social distinction
is the equal of any of the larger cities
OF the intermountain country. While
ii has no exclusive smart Set" the
majority of the citizens are intelli-
gent, well-educated and refined.
