The New Reseroyolr

| The reporter took ride yesterday
afternoon with Mr.. Smith in his auto
mobile TO the new reservoir the Light
and Water Corporation is building on
the hill between the two reservoirs
| now in use.
Work on this reservoir has been
going on for several months. The
excavation was in charge of John
McFarlane and the concrete work was
under the supervision of Mr. F. Foveaux
of Alameda. California. Mr. Foveaux
arrived on the 10th of April and on the
goth the concrete work was begun.
The reservoir is 148 feet long, So feet
wide and has an average depth of 8
feet six inches, and is built of reinforced
concrete. Its capacity is $40, 600 gallons
Seventeen hundred and fifty sacks of
cement were used in making the $50
cubic feet Of concrete used in the work.
When the reservoir is fenced and other
necessary work done, its cost will be in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
Is The labor on the reservoir, with the
exception of that done by one, man,
whom Mr.. Foveaux brought with him,
was done by local people. The plaster
was done by Frank Hopper, a local
man. r. -. r...
This reservoir will be connected with
the one now used for town purposes and
is intended to save the water that now
oVerhows and goes to waste. A pipe
with automatic valaes at each end will
connect the reservoirs and conduct the
overflow from the one to the other.
That is when the present reservoir is
full instead of OVERLOOKING, the water
will flow back into the new reservoir.
When that is filed to OVERLOOKING, the
water will flow back into the one now
in use. This will not only save the
water now going to waste, but will
also give the town reserve of 10000
gallons to draw on in case of an
emergency.
The concrete work was completed
yesterday and Mr.. Foveaux left this
afternoon for his home at Alameda. He
is very pleasant gentleman and
thoroughly understands his line of work.
The fencing and filling in around the
reservoir remains to be done. When
this reservoir is in use, Elko will have
plenty of water.

Bath for Wichita's Trees.

waged in Sedgwick county. Profess
sor S. J. Hunter, state entomologist,
has placed Professor p. A. Glen. as
sistant professor of entomology at the
state university, in charge of the
work. The scale is so widespread IN
the city that the commission has hes
itated in ordering all the trees
sprayed as the task will be a gigantIc
one and the funds of the commission
are limited.
Because of the prevalence Of the
scale in the city and county the CO.
operation of the property owners has
been asked. Badly infested trees have
been ordered DESTROYED and all others
must be sprayed. The campaign will
begin as soon as the weather condi-
tons permit.

Kills II TuhercuIous Gown.

Lawrence.-Dr. McClelland, deputy
pure food inspector, has made re-
port to the board of health on the
condition of the dairy herds of Law
renee Dr. McClelland was calleu
here by the people of the town who
suspicioned that some of the dairy
cows had tuberculosis. Their anx-
iety on that score was aroused by the
fact that when a dairvman drove g
few COWS from his herd through the
streets one OF the cows fell from ex-
haustion and could not be moved.
The COW had been sold to a Kansas
City packing house. and was on the
wav to the freight yards.
The inspector came to Lawrcnce
and made a renort on two herds. In
the two herds he found eleven cases
of tuberculosis and he ordered the vic
tins of the disease killed at once. He
intimates that merit week there may
be a wholesale slaughter.

An Artistic Rebuke.

A well-known clergyman was trav-
cling in a non-smoking compartment
of a train going north. As soon as
the train was well on its way, the only
other occupant, without asking per-
mission of his fellow traveller, coolly
lit a cigarette. The reverend gen
tleman was relieved, as he wanted to
smoke himself, but had been afraid
lest his companion might object. But
the opportunity was too good to be
lost. Drawing out his pipe he leaned
forward, and, with an ingratiating
smile. blandly inquired: Would you
object if | were to smoker"

Number of Idle Men Large.

More laboring men are out OF work
in Kansas right now than at any
time since 1898, according to Charles
Harris, director of the state free EN-.
ployment bureau.
Il lay 1t to weather conditions" said
he. We had a fearful wet fall. and
following the wet spell along came
the cold weather. For more than two
months now nearly all public work III
the cities has been abandoned; out.
door work, l mean. In the country,
the farmers have been unable to haul
their crops to town on account of bad
roads, and all farm work has prac.
tically been abandoned, except the
feeding of stock. The surplus farm
labor has drifted to the cities and this,
with the unemployed already in the
cities, makes a big army"
Another thing that puzzles the di.
rector is the light demand now for
servant girls. Usually the demand
for house servants exceed the supply
In the past the director has been able
to give a house servant her choice of
a half dozen places to go to, but not
so now.
This department has more dealings
with farmers than any other class of
people," said he. "The farmers seem
to know all about it. No matter
what they want in the way of help.
they send to us for it. The city PEG.
pie, aside from Topeka, do not patron.
ize us to any extent"
The director says that small appro
priation to enable him to use the
want columns of newspapers occai
sionally, would add materially to the
efficiency Of the department.

1t is curious fact that no Japanese
ever sleeps with his head to the north.
The reason is that the dead in Japan
are always buried with their heads in
that direction. Consequently, in the

in larger cities, a diagram of the
points of the compass is conspicuously
posted on the ceiling for the informa-
ton of guests.-The Sunday Magazine.
