the altering media in these large tanks
and passes finally into the clear water
wells below the beds. The clear water
wells have capacity of 2so 900 gal
| ions and 100000 can be passed over
the altering beds every .twenty-four
hours. ~ r-,y..
From the clear water wells the water
is forced to a large supply tank sit
uated on lofty hill south OF the city
several miles from the plant. For
pumping purposes there is in constant
op ION 100 horse power
pump, The supply tank is twenty
eight feet high, but it is, several hum
dred feet above the city level and gives
the city pressure of 11S pounds. The
capacity of the tank is 10000 gallons.
One interesting feature of the pro-
cess in the filtration plant is the man
ner in which the Offering media is
cleansed from time to time usually
| once in every eighteen hours When
the guage, shows that the media lis
becoming dirty or clogged; pure water
is pumped from the clear wells below
the filtering beds oyer the filtering
media by a large wash pump the Ca
pacity' Of which is $500 gallons driven
by twenty horse power. When beds
of sand are cleansed as far as water
can perform the task, air valves are
opened beneath the filtration beds and
air is driven through the media by a
fifteen horsepower air compressor. This
process thoroughly breaks up the media.
and gives the sand in the beds the APP
pearanee of boiling water. A small
chemical laboratory is maintained at
the plant so that frequent tests can sbe
made of the water. r. ~,.

Real Tragedy Sometimes Figures .....

Well l. had some of, the finest ruta-
bagas that ever grew in the ground,
And | say rntabagas were selling in

picked out nine sacks of the very finest
and shipped them to a st. Paulacom
mission house and then waited. &
Three weeks later got an account

worst There was bill for Is cents

lof North Dakota Farmer.
Amy farmer who ever shipped any
thing to a produce dealer has a tale
like that to tell He got back next
to nothing for his splendid vegetables,
Sometimes he got worse than moth

In another case 1t was onions, bunch
onions. The farmer, who was new to
the soil, and his wife who had never
lived on farm before. set, great store
by those onions, They watched every
spear and sprout. When they were
large enough for market they spent
al wlioie day punching them and pack
ing a big box.
The little woman's back was lame
land her hands were sore but she kept
thinking of the shoes for the baby
and maybe there would be enought for
new shirtwaist and If this shipment
turned out well there were enough
onions in the patch to get new car
pet that they needed SO much and,
perhaps a cloak for next winter. s
What do. you suppose they got for
those onions? You have guessed IT.
Not a cent
1t Was a Real Tragedy.
Now, that's tragedy. That happened
years ago and the farmer has become
prosperous and has marketed a good
many boxes of garden truck since
then and the blessed woman doesn't
have to worry about a cloak or a arr
pet--they are figuring now on an au-
tomobile but that robbery still
ltrankles. 1t makes him mad today
to think how he was beaten out of
those onions and how hard his wife
worked aid how bitterly disappointed
she was.
Chances are there was no robbery
about 1t. Chances are the farmer
who shipped the rutabagas got all
there was coming to him. There are
all sorts of reasons why he freight on
nine sacks of rutabagas might leave
nothing but % cents for the farmer
who, grew them Unless. man knows
what he is about the way to market

several states in the house Of repre-
sentatives; and
Whereas, II is OF the utmost i'm
portance to the interests OF all the peo-

AS the elimination of the elope-
ment OF Louis Strang. alias Willis
Powers. a paroled convict, and Mrs
Ed Hurley from Denver two weeks
ago, the latter is now in Jail here for
beating a board bill and Strang is
being sought by the authorities of
the state on the charge of grand lar
ceny. The story of the escapades of
the runaways is highly dramatic
one and shows them to have been pos
sessed of the sporting instinct and to
have had their full measure of that
quality which we call nerve" in the
absence of a more expressive desig-
nation.
A week ago last Saturday afternoon
a nicely dressed man and woman ar
rived here from Denver and proceed
ed 10 the Strathmore hotel where they
registered as Louis Lang and Mrs.
Louis Lang. They had no baggage.
and. failing to pay their bill at the
end of the week a demand was made
upon them by the proprietor for a
settlement of the account, which
amounted to something like fifty dol
lars. Strang soon after disappeared.
but a couple of days later sent the
woman a check on the Matthewson
Automobile company, of Denver, for
seventy-five dollars. which she ten
dered to Mr.. wingert in payment of
her hotel bill. The check. however.
proved TO be a forgery and the de-
ception which the pair had practiced
was brought TO the surface and the
woman was arrested and is now Ian
gushing in the county Jail. where she
IS likely to be detained for the next
thirty or sixty days unless payment
