rrom fridays Daily.
The river has been rising, and now
stands at over nine feet, but is still
twelve feet lower than last summer
and it can rise six or seven feet be-
fore it would back the sewage up into
any Easements. The water began to
fall last night, and by morning had
gone down about six inches. The cold
and cloudy weather is holding back the
water from the deep snow, and no
flood is feared.
If there should be high water later
on, the city will be prepared for it.
The second of the new sewer pumps
was shipped last Saturday from Bald
winsville, n. Y, and should arrive any
day. This will bring the entire pump
ing plant onto the ground, ready to
be assembled. The brickwork on the
building that is to enclose the plant
will be completed by tomorrow night
if nothing happens. By the middle of
April the pumping plant ought to be
in shape to handle the sewage.
Even should the plant not be ready
and there should be as high water as
last summer, there would be 10 such
trouble as occurred then. The trouble
then was due to a series of plumbers
or misfortunes and lack of knowledge
of the pipes and cutoffs. If no attempt
had been made to pump sewage and
bn To Ind oIo
would have been no trouble, for the
backing up from the river would mere
ly have flooded a few of the lower
Easements, but nowhere near so much
as occurred when the gates were closed
and the water backed up far higher
than the river would have backed it
up. 1t was then that the damage was
done. The pumps were inadequate to
handle the sewage, even if no other
mistakes had been made, but the new
pumps will take care of everything
and the gates can be safely shut after
the pumps have been installed.
City Engineer Wilson has become
familiar with every inch of the city,
knows just what the fall is, has com
puted the watershed, and has prepared
maps showing the topography in de-
tail, and every pipe, its pitch and ca
pacity. He has also prepared general
and comprehensive system of storm
sewers, to be worked to, and which, when
completed, would care for all the vast
volume of water that now tears down
the hillsides, damaging the streets,

flooding property and bringing down
pared, with the assistance of his assis-
tant, George Hodapp, profiles of a
large number of the streets, showing
just where the underground pipes of
all kinds are, and also the sidewalks,
curb and gutter, etc. He has supplied
many important records that were
lacking. He has improved the system
.of records, by adopting the card index
system, and it is possible to find diff
ferent papers without having to over
haul everything in the vault. He has
done a lot of other things also, all
without blast of trumpets. Whatever
has been done has been done skillfuIly
and scientifically, so as to be of value
to the city.
As soon as the frost is out of the
ground, the board of. public works will
proceed to carry out several important
improvements to the water system,
that is calculated TO improve the sys-
TEN and save fuel at the pumping sta
ton.
Mr.. Wilson has figured out way
of saving $1,000 year to the city at
the pumping station, by installing cleo
tricity in the place of the steam plant,
but the ACCESSIBILITY of making the
change will be something for the coun-
ell to wrestle with in the future. How
ever, Mr.. Wilson's work has already
cut down the fuel bill considerably,
and the reservoir can be easily filled.

From Fridays Daily
Members of the different branches of
Masonry were pleasantly entertained
last evening at Masonic hail by Blue
Earth Chapter No. Z, Royal Arch Ma
sons. The occasion was the annual
gathering of this order, and in addition
to the entertainment and banqueting
of the other orders, the Masons took
occasion to honor one of their oldest
members and his most estimable wife,
Mr.. and Mrs Charles A. Chapman, it
being their fftieth wedding anniver
sary. The token of esteem was the
presentation of handsome silver low
ing cup, very beautifully engraved and
lined with gold.
The program was opened at $50
with music by Lamm's orchestra, j. J.
Flachsenhar presiding in the absence
of the previously appointed toastmas
ter. The stage was brilliant in its
decorations of red carnations and pot
ted plants, and the different orders
were represented by the following Off

NJ. ID. Fritz, Order of the Eastern Star.
All the representatives. were called
upon during the evening and each re-
sponded with appropriate remarks.
The program was of especial interest
and merit and was given largely by
local talent. Miss Day rendered VIC
lin solo that received an enthusiastic
encore as did all of those taking part
i'll the program. Mrs. Grams solo was
also a very pleasing number and Mrs.
Kulstad gave a recitation which showed
careful training. Mr.. Davies and DR..
Benham were both in their usual good
voice and added much to the evening S
program. The instrumental solos by
the Misses Hubb and Brandcnburg
on the violin and piano were also ell
Enthusiastically received. Miss Koke and

lists during the whole program.

GRAvELED STREETS ARE DRY.
They Show Their Value Over Those
That Have Received No Attention.

The value of graveling residence
streets of the city until more per-
manent improvements can be under
taken is shown by the way the grav
eled streets have dried up and smooth
ed off. These streets are now in ex-
cellent condition for travel, while the
mud streets are wet, rough and stic..y
The policy of graveling the residence
streets and charging the cost to the
property ought to be carried out this
year. The cost is slight, and by as
sessing it the city. could do a large
amount of it. River gravel ought not
to be used for this purpose, nor should
cinders, for neither can compare with
bank gravel, and fortunately there will
be plenty of the latter to be had this
season,
