When the health department complet-

At the same time the wells at eight of the

To provide for the sinking Of eight
deep wells at the schools where the
shallow wells had been closed and for
one well at Benning Hotel, Congress
appropriated the sum of $1,000. This
money became available with the begin

cipal Architect Ashford, in charge OF this
branch Of the public service under the
engineering department, at once let the
contract to the Columbia Pump and Well
Company. of Washington.
Mr. Ashford said yesterday that three
Of these deep wells had been completed,
one at the Conduit Road School. the
Benning School. and the Chain Bridge
School.
The wells now being sunk are at the
Garfield Stanton, Congress Heights,
Bunker Hill road, and BurrviIle schools
and at the Benning Hotel The well at
Garfield School was necessary by reason
OF the fact that in extending that build
ing the foundation OF the new structure
covered up the old WELL which had not
been condemned. AS the wells are sunk
q heavy steel casing is let down with the
drill work. thus keeping out all surface
water and providing an assurance when
the well Is completed that the vein of
water tapped shall be kept pure.
Mr.. Ashford said that he expected to
have all OF these wells ready for serv-
Ice at the opening Of the coming scholas-
tic year. The depth Of the wells Will
average from a minimum Of eighty feet
10 something like 235 feet. None OF them
will be arteslan wells.
Municipal Architect Ashford said that
With the completion OF these wells the
schools OF the District will be supplied
With an abundance OF pure drinking wa

Residents on the Isle OF Pines and
those who are familiar with the claim;
of certain Americans that the island
Ia American and not Cuban territory,
according to the specifications of the
Paris treaty, will watch the develop
ments in this case with special inter-
est. Cuba will not relinquish her hold
on the island without strong fight,
while Americans whose interests there
amount practically to 80 per cent Of all
the property, will present their claims
with all the more force. The nine points
of law that possession is supposed to
confer are on the side of Cuba, and
taking into consideration the reluctance
Of the American Congress to annex
non-contiguous territory-the case Of
Hawaii, whose people pleaded ten years
ago for annexation, finally forced by
war, being one in point-it appears
very probable that our legislators will
not be moved to any unseemly haste
In the case of the Isle OF Pines despite
the fact that that would make very
desirable American territory.

Made Frank James Faint.
The world is not very small after all.
The other day glanced casually over
the register of hotel and read the
name "Kinch West Johnson" It may
be that I was the only man in New
York outside the person who signed the
register that would have taken an In
terest in the signature, and yet Kfnch
West was on the point of putting my
light out once, says a writer in the
New York Telegraph. He was an In
dian Territory character in the early
'7Os and stopped night with me when
was boy and living under the paren-
tai roof, and he interested me greatly
by telling me of his adventures in the
Southwest
Five years later l was riding on a
railway train approaching Dennison,
Tex, and saw him. Being young and
foolish, hit him on the back and said :
"Hello, Mr.. West! I'm glad to see
you" Say, Kinch's smoke wagons were
all over me in minute. Until he rec
ognized me he scowled, and after that
he laughed heartily. At Dennison he
wrung my hand and said: "Good-by,
boy, and don't say anything about my
being here"
Naturally, 1 hunted up Kinch West
johnson, and what do you suppose he
was? A drummer. A mild-mannered
boy, who was glad to acknowledge that
the redoubtable kinch West was his
grandfather. And he confessed to me
that he had never owned a gun in his
life.
One story of this kind leads to anoth-
er. l recalled Frank James almost as
soon as 1 had listened to young John
sons story of how little use he had for
gun. About fourteen years ago l
happened to be present at the fair
grounds in st. Louis when Frank
James, along with a number Of others,
was vaccinated in obedience to the law.
