of the company shows the location
o. a reservoir CT 5000, 900 gallons ca
pacity. two miles north Of La Junta,
from which this city is to secure
pure spring water supply. The com
pany delivers the water in this res
ervoir at the rate of ten cents per
thousand gallons, and from this point
II will have to be handled iy the city.
This will include the construction OF
two miles of twelve inch pipe line.
which will have TO cross the Fort
Lyon canal and the Arkansas river,
and this will be rather expensive.
II will mean that the consumer who
now pays Sl.50 month for his water
supply will have 10 pay from S4.oo
t, $500 per month for the luxury of
pure spring water.
So far as we are personally CON
cerned there is nothing wrong win
our present water supply We have
used II continuously and persistently
for nearly thirteen years and have
never heen indisposed or incapacitat-
ed for single day during that per
iod. We do not believe our city
water is as bad as II has been paint
ed, and reports of the city health
officer show that there were less
cases Of typhoid fever among those
who used city water exclusively than
any other kind. Personally We have
never experimental with boiled
water. distilled water. artesian water,
cistern water. Colorado Springs
water. Fowler water, or any OF the
numerous brands that have teen i'm
ported and used in this city. II
any Of the ills that have afflicted this
community can be traced TO the
water. We are of the opinion that in
vestigation will prove that they are
confined to those residents who have
persistently experimental with their
water supply. Some Cf the artesian
water barrels in this city are hlthy
enough to breed smallpox, and we
are not surprised that people who
drink water from them are sick. We
don't see how they could expect or
hope for anything else,
Although we are OF course great
ly impressed with the fact that a
pure spring water supply from the
wilderness sixty.fiye miles northwest
OF La Junta would bs most excel

An Organ 700 Years Old.

william c. Carl brought back
with him from Japan a pipe organ
OF ancient make which he believes
will prove a revelation to modern
instrument builders.
The organ is 700 years old, but,
Notwithstanding this fact, embodies
practically all the improvements
which present day builders regard as
new. The pipes are of bamboo, and
the instrument is in a good state of
preservation. Mr.. Carl also brought
home a large collection of japanese
music arranged in modern notation.
Previous to thirty years ago, he says,
all the native music was handed
down from one generation to another
In characters, but since the estab-
lishment of an academy at Toxic a
great impetus has been given to all
classes of music, and more than 600
students were in attendance at that
institution when Mr.. Carl visited It.
