GIVES VIEWS ON
ARTESIAN WELLS
Director Barlow of State Wat
err Survey Writes in Re-
Spouse to Inquiry.
SAYS RIVER is THE BEST
Maintains that 100 Such Wells as
Mitchell & Lynde's Would BE
Required for Supply.

City Clerk NJ T. Rudgren is in re
ceipt of reply from Edward Bartow,
in charge of the Illinois water survey,
regarding the possibility of using ar
tesian wells as source of city water
supply. The director says that there
are two things, quantity and quality,
to be considered, and he refers to ex-
aminations made of the Mitchell &
Lynde well and the Milan well in 1899.
He states that to furnish 100000 gal
Ions, the city would require 100 wells of
the capacity OF the Mitchell e Lynde
well, which is 2,290 feet deep and
flows from a 3-inch pipe.
River Is the Best.
Mr.. Barlow expressed the opinion
that the Mississippi river is the best
source of supply for this city, and ar
CUES that its water can be so treated
that it will be satisfactory in every
respect. He offers to come here and
confer with the council in regard u
the water situation, if the city will pay
the expenses of his trip.
shows Chemical Quality.
The director gives the chemical an
alysis of the water of the two wells
in detail. He states that the water
will not form a scale on boilers, but
water is highly mineralized, and has
a physiological effect on those who
are not accustomed to its use.

LAYING SPUR TRACK.


In keeping with recent promise
to extend their track up the alley be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets, the
Rock Island has laid tracks across
Fourth and the paving company is now
completing its work on that part Of
Fourth street.
BY putting in track before the paw
ing Is done, the company is saved
both the expense of tearing up and
relaying pavement
The extension is made in keeping
with permit recently granted by the
city council, and at the request Of j.
H. Freeman of the Freeman & Dougan
coal and feed and bottling works. The
spur viii also be a great convenience
to the Sullivan sale stables, which is
located at the western terminus of the
extension.

BUILDING DOWN TOWN.

That all the new residence buildings
are not confined to the outlying addi-
tions, is plainly visible if one win only
look around little.
On North Fourth street, between
Pennsylvania and Illinois avenues, E,
s. Dougan is having three new cot
tages built. each with five rooms
Further east on Pennsylvania P. R.
PRESLEY Is having built a good five
room cottage.
On South Third. between Iowa and
Minnesota. K. R. Collins is just com
pleting one Of the best residences in
that part of town.
Thus in every part Of the city houses
ere going up. and most encouraging OF
all is the fact that all houses are TAX
en- as fast as completed. The indica
tions are that the demand for rent
houses next winter will. if possible,
exceed that of last winter, especially
with the coming of the Industrial
School and the location here of the
big cotton factory.

Of LIE Flore county went Ben Butler
and all others one better when under
warrant issued by State Auditor

half dozen coal companies to satisfy
the claims for the state for delinquent
gross production tax.
The mules used by the coal compa-

The following from the Wichita
Eagle reads as though it might have
been writer for Chickasha;
Mayor Davidson is doing the prop
er thing in stopping the grading and
paving which is being done several
months before the paving contractors
are ready to begin their work. The
fact that streets have been torn up
and blocked for weeks before any work
of paving is done has been source
of much complaint by the people liv-
Ing along the streets. The ruling
which the mayor has made that the
contractors should excavate and en-
tirely complete the paving Of three
blocks before further excavation should
be made will stop the practice and the

PARKS FOR SMALL CITIES.

Under the above caption, the Kan
sas City Star offers the following very
pertinent suggestions on the park
question;
II ought 10 be impressed on the peo-
pie and the administration Of small
cities and large towns everywhere that
one OF the best Investments that can
he made is parks and drives. The cost
of these improvements must. vary, OF
course, in accordance with the value
OF the land taken over and the gener-
osity Of individual owners of such
lands. But in every instance where
the cost is reasonable for the compen-
sation win far exceed that cost.
1t is especially important that these
lesser municipalities should acquire
ample lands for parks and drives early
while values are reasonable. Such
lands, acquired while the cities are
comparatively small are an intrinsic
investment. They increase in value.
In lime they are located well inside
of an enlarged city, where their ac-
QUESTION might be impossible later on.
Where suitable lands cannot be se-
cured within present city limits, out
side park sites should be acquired.
This is especially desirable for prairie
cities, where wooded tracts are not
10 be had. A timely acquisition OF
park lands and the planting and cult
walton of trees will bring to these
cities in few years beautiful, shaded
grounds.
Even where the cost OF development
is too great to be borne at once, the
land should be acquired and the trees

and maintenance could be made SO as
to cover long periods. But every city,
and every town that has ambitions to
become city, should provide, and
provide early, for parks,
