the railroad company to obtain
water from the latter's tank at
any time when there are ten feet
in it, but to be sure of an ade-
quate supply at all times have sunk

barn. The we'll is lis feet deep
and has in it 113 feet of water.
Storage tanks will be erected at
the we'll and the water pumped by
an engine, the wagon being filled
by gravity. We are sincerely
thankful that the dust clouds are
to be abated, as it is anything
but pleasant to have to pick gravel
out of ones eyes most of the time.
