.MOREENA1ER AT PLANT
AS RESULT OF WORK
Increase Is 600 Salons a
Minute

Six hundred gallons of pure artesian
water per minute, was added to the
city's water supply at the pumping
station a day or two ago as the re-
suit of a little needed work upon two
of the artesian wells there, one OF
them abandoned long ago and the 9th
er one used but little
And as the result of this work upon
the part of Engineer J. S. Stevens,
each well now has a rapid flow of
about three hundred gallons per min
ute, when needed.
The city's entire water supply, for
all purposes, can now be had directly
from artesian wells.
The auxiliary supply obtained from
bricked-in springs, and heretofore
amounting to about one fourth the
daily supply required, is no longer
needed, it is said, since the develop
ment of the two wells by Mr.. Stevens
within the past few days
The city has a total of five artesian
wells at the pumping station, only
three of which are used regularly
The we'll bored last year at cost of
probably $4,000 has been used but
little, owing to it's great depth and the
difficulty experienced in raising the
water.
This process is carried on by air
pipes forced down the wells, the COM
pressed air bringing the water to the
surface.
Engineer Stevens has been working
upon this $4,000 we'll recently, and al
so upon another fine we'll of sulphur
water, but little used, with the result
that the two wells now yield torrent
of 300 gallons each, per minute, when
the compressed air is turned on
This, as stated, gives the city an
abundant supply of artesian water.
and shutting out the springs.
The water supply has been more
than ample throughout the summer,
despite the prevailing drought, and
with the addition of the two artesian
wells just developed there is no pros
pect of any shortage, ever. -

NAMES kept FROM SENATE
PRESIDENT REPLIES TO THE
FORAKER RESOLUTION.
Complete Details of War Deficiency
Expenditures Reserved for
Military Committee.

President Roosevelt yesterday sent TO
the Senate a response to Senator For
aker's resolution calling upon the Sec
rotary of the Treasury for an itemized
statement of expenditures from the
81 O00. O(D war deficiency fund. The re-
ply reached the Senate in the form of an
executive document. 1t purports to be a
complete answer so far as the use of
the war deficiency fund is concerned. but
some of the names of persons to whom
payments were made were withheld
In message. which was read in secret
session, the President says that if these
names are desired he will furnish them

of a necessarily secret character and the
funds expended for the entertainment
of foreign observers at American mill
tary maneuvers.
From the reading of the Presidents
message the impression prevailed that
all of the payments from this fund were
for that character of work.
Senator Foraker introduced his resolu-
ton following the announcement that
the investigation of the Brownsville af-
fray by private detectives had been paid
for from this fund. The Ohio senator
took the position that such an eXpendi-
ture was not warranted by the purposes
for which the emergency fund was in
tended.
The precedent for President Roosevelt s
action in Withholding certain names of
persons to whom payments have been
made is found in response to a SEN
ate resolution calling upon the late Presi-
dent Mckinley for the accounts of the
treaty of Paris commission. Mr. Mckin-
ley sent to the Senate a statement of
all payments made, but kept back the
names of number of persons and some
of the details connected with the expendi-
lures. The Senate realized that such
information should not be made public
and did not press demands for a strictly
itemzed statement.
