The large new hotels, the Great

are being erected in this city are fast
coming to the finishing touches. The
brick work is all done and the roofs are
on both of them. The plasterers are
now busy on the inside, and it is ex-
pected to have them ready for occu-
pancy in the near future. This will
give Devils Lake a couple of the finest

The City Council have up before

this matter was presented for first

TO GET
MORE WATER
Devils LAKE IMPROVEMENT COM.
PANY Is PUTTING IN NEW MA
CHINERY TO INCREASE
THE FLOW OF WELL.

'7E FLOW Of WELL.
The Devils Lake Improvement COM
pany have been wrestling with the
question of securing sufficient supply
of water to supply the city and have
found 1t quite difficult problem to
figure out satisfactorily Water has
been found at places which could be
had by digging wells, but there is the
ever present question as to the supply,
proving sufficient.
With this question in hand Mr.. Ker-
lin had the President of the Harris
Pumping Machine company in the city
for several days looking the situation
over. They also measured the flow of
water from the artesian we'll and esti-
mated the amount of water that came
from it every twenty-four hours, and
| finally came to the conclusion that if
the supply of water obtainable from
the we'll was sufficient the flow could
be increased from 25 to so per cent
|
cry.
They worked on the theory that the
water coming as it does from a dis
tance Of some 1400 feet in the ground
has it's own weight to lift, and that this
has a tendency to greatly decrease the
flow. The nearer to the surface it gets
the greater the resistance and hence
the lessening of the flow. The pump
ing expert was of the opinion that If
a pump lift was installed and small
pipe let down inside the wells main to
a depts Of about two hundred feet.
with the bottom having an elbow op-
ening toward the top Of the well, and
then have air forced through this small
pipe at great pressure it would have
a tendency to greatly relieve the pres
gnre On the water below and also draw
more water up. This would increase
the pressure of the water and force
a greatly increased amount through
the pipe. He was so sure of this that
he guaranteed to Mr.. Kerlin to fur
nish from Is to SO per cent. more wa
ter by installing the machinery, the
only proviso being that there was a
supply Of water obtainable from the
well.
The machinery for this purpose has
:arrived and will be installed in short
time when it will be ascertained If it
meets the requirements.
It is hoped that this will prove sue
cessful, as If, it does not other means
will have to be employed as the well
will prove insufficient as it is for
next summers needs. During the hot
months this year the water was all
but exhausted and had to be turned
off In the city on several occasions dur
ing the night to allow sufficient guam
tity to accumulate in the reservoir to
supply the city during the day. Dew
lis Lake is growing rapidly and more
mains are being laid so that next
summer 1t will be absolutely necessary
that more water be obtained from
some source.
The company feels that if the flow
from the artesian well can be increas-
ed even twenty-five per cent. it will
meet the requirements of the city for
several years, and in the mean time
they may be able to meet the require
menfs in some other manner. ..'

Two democratic candidates for gov

and as atz.result the 'unwashed" are,

own camp. John Lind, who was nom

as THEM candidate for governor has
refused all the time to allow his name
to go on the ballot, but in spite of this
the Dems. have gone on in the hope
that 1t was only a stall and that he:
would allow them to use his name
eventually. It seems however, that
such Is not the case and that Mr.. Lind
has emphatically refused to act as mars:
tyr for the cause in Minnesota and as
result the vacancy is to be filled by
the state committee.
This was not So unexpected in re-
publican state like Minnesota but
judge the surprise when their nomi-
nee in Tennessee does likewise. Just
think of 1t, a democrat .bolting in Ten

hopelessly divided in that state, as
would appear from the statement made
by Gov. M. R. Patterson in his letter
declining the nomination 1t reads as
follows: >,
Nashville, Sept, 10.-In a scorching
statement, Gov. M. r. Patterson to-
night withdrew from his candidacy as
