An Estimate

r. B. Orr of the Orr Engineer
ing Company of Kansas City. who
is now charging the Hays water
works, was in town one day last
week and after looking the
ground over submitted the fol
lowing figures as to the probable
cost of an adequate system for
Wa Keeney:
Two and one-half miles of
8-inch main Ito bring
the water from Big
Creek .$12, 300
Three miles of finch dis
tributing pipe W tn
valves I,2OO
A steel tank of fifty thous-
and gallons capacity,
mounted on a steel tow
ninety feet high. 1000
A pumping engine of
twenty thousand gal
Ions daily capacity -. 1900
Power house on Big
Greek ............ 800
Large open we'll. $3.50. $50
Twenty fire hydrants -. $40
Total. S21, 80
This estimate includes every
thing complete and ready for
business. Mr. Orr says that
such a system is all that Wa
Keeney needs or is likely to need
for years to come. The tank has
the same capacity as that used
in Hays, a larger town. He says
that two pumping engines of
twenty thousand capacity is bet
ter than one of forty thousand
and that the second may be ad-
ded later as needed. EStimat-
ing the population at eight hun
dred, twenty thousand gallons
per day is equal to twenty five
gallons daily consumption for
every man, woman and child on
the town site. Kirwin has just
completed a system of water
works at cost of $18, 900. Geo.
p. Taylor superintendent the con-
struction of this plant and says
that twenty to twenty five thous-
and is sufficient for Wa-Keeney.
He is of the opinion that it will
not be necessary to go to Big
Greek or Trego Creek for the
water supply.

MAY GET FEDERAL COURT

Gadsden, January 26. tSpecial)-A 12- year-old boy named Ford, brother of Herman Ford, yardmaster in the Louis vile and Nashville here, was today held up and robbed of $lO by stranger in this city. The Ford boy came here from Col linsville to visit his elder brother and at Attalla he met the stranger who told the boy he knew exactly where his brother lived and would take him to the place. On reaching the city the stranger took the boy to the edge of town and after taking his money away from him left him to find his way as best he could. The boy finally found his brother and re- ported to him the loss of his money and how and where 1t was taken from him. Mir. Ford reported the matter to the po lice but so far the stranger, who told the boy his name was Jones, has not been found.

Word was received here today from Congressman Burnett saying that the committee on the judiciary has reported favorably on the proposition of holding federal court in this city. This doubtless means that the bill looking to the estab- lishment of a federal court here will be passed by Congress and that the new fed eral building about to be constructed will be made two-story structure in order to make room for the holding of the court. The proposition is that the federal court shall hold two sessions in this city each year.

Gadsden is anxiously awaiting the prom ised announcement of the reorganization committee of the Southern steel num- Der of industrial developments hinge on a favorable outcome of the big proposi- tion. The Weller rolling mill, which has now been Idle for many months, will be put back in operation just as soon as the steel plant runs and make the raw ma terial available. An officer of the Emery Steel company, which has the Weller plant under lease, stated today that ev erythng was in readiness for the opening of the mill as soon as the steel mill was operated so that billets could be secured.
 This is the only source of raw ma terial for the successful operation of the plant. Then the proposition to locate a chain factory here is being held in abey- ance until some definite announcement from the steel people is forthcoming. Besides these there are some minor prop ositions that are affected and operations at the steel plant would undoubtedly be followed by considerable industrial activ- ity in many lines.
