WATER STORAGE FOR FARGO.

Wouldn't it be nice if there were a
few millions gallons of melted snow
just now to turn into the Red river
The stream is so small and the water
is so low-it is a serious question
whether the supply is fit to use in any
capacity-filtered or unfiltered.
Fargoans are discussing the water
supply situation. The experts" have
advised the use of the river water
properly filtered--instead OF artesian
wells because of the solids the well
water contains.
Most people would prefer water from
one of the lakes, but that would re-
quire a lot of special legislation and
the expenditure of immense sums of
money-the cost being prohibitive for
the city.
AS long as river water is to be used
why not make an effort to have the
supply controlled-to improve it-and
have a reserve when it was needed?
Otter Tail county, where the Bots de
Sioux, a part of the Red, rises, there
are thousands Of acres Of land so sit
uated that a small dam Or reservoir
would control millions Of gallons of
water
These dams would have a two-foli
purpose They would prevent the
spring floods by holding the melted
snow in check till the water between
here and the source ofsthe stream
would flow off. The storage of this
water through the early spring would
insure a bountiful supply of water
through the summer months that could
be turned into the stream as most
needed
This would insure the maintenance
of the supply to point that would be
satisfactory and healthful.
If Fargo is to establish a filtration
system why not investigate this reser-
voir proposition, determine the cost and
see what cooperation could be secured
from other cities along the stream for
water supply and from the farmers for
food prevention?

WATER METERS.

There is a demand by some people
in Fargo for the meter system on
water. 1t is insisted-and rightly--that
with meters every consumer would pay
his proportionate share Of the expense
of the operation of the water plant.
Rates could be made so the heavy users
would get a reduction over certain
amounts.
At present householders are prohib-
tied from sprinkling lawns during GER
tain hours. If there was a meter sys-
tenn, 1t would not matter when lawns
were sprinkled. The consumer in each
case would be footing the bills-and he
could use water as often as he wished
and during whatever hours his fancy
dictated.
The city could furnish a supply-if
there was revenue coming in for every
gallon used.

Walhalla Mountaineer: The repub-
lican ticket selected by the voters at
the primaries is a mixture of the two
factions and should, therefore, be very
satisfactory to the leaders OF these fac
lions as well as to the people at large
who made the selection and who wish
to see an end of the internal strife in
the party. The ticket looks good and
there is no question that the men upon
1t are good men for their respective
positions
Mr.. McCumber secured the nomina
ton for United States senator against
a determined fight on the part of the
insurgent leaders and over a man that
has been peculiarly popular, Thomas
F. Marshall and that the victory was
won because the people believe in Mr..
McCumber Is plain because he won
while in Washington on a sick bed and
with no one in the state to look after
his interests. Mr. Gronna also wins
for the short term, and as he Is of the
insurgent faction, the senatorial ticket
represents, literally, the republicans
or North Dakota. He is good man
and will assist in putting North Da-
kota back on the political map from
which we were wiped when Mr.. Hans
brough was defeated. The members OF
the lower house are also one from each
faction, Hanna for the stalwarts and
Helgeson for the insurgents, thus more
strongly and effectively cementing the
party and healing the sore spots.
Johnson, for governor, will make
winner for the party because all re-
publicans can support him honestly
and conscientiously Walt Taylor gets
the insurance commissionership Bur-
dick the lieutenant governorship, In
fact the ticket is well divided ana
neither faction can claim victory
over the other.
The happy division of the two fac
lions and the fact that the selections
are first class, means victory FOR the
entire ticket in November.

A. Kurtz, whose home is at FELTON,,

weekly subscriber to The Forum.
Mr. Kurtz, eighteen years. ago, was a
resident of Fargo and was employed
here in the Northern Pacific shops and
will be remembered by the older mer-
who are now employed over at Dill
worth. He has visited the city off
and on since he left here, and he is
pleased with the progress the town
has been making. Said he: Fargo
doesn't look much like she did when I
worked here eighteen years ago. She
is regular gem of city now. pretty
as a picture, and don't mind saying
I'd like to live here again. but I'm a
farmer now and have been getting
along well since moved away. There's
very few of the old boys working here
now who worked at the N. p. when
was here. Some OF them have passed
away and others have moved away,
and there's very few that know.
About the crops? Oh. wheat is look
ing fine, but short. Oats don't look
Sc good, for 1t is very short and not
as well headed as 1t might be- Still
can say that we will have good crops
of wheat out our way and we won't
be by any means in starving condi-
tion. I like to come back to the old
town again even IL don't hardly re-
cognize the place because Of the inn
provements.''

Pembina Pioneer Express: Explain

1.-THE member of the legislature is

is acting for himself and under instruc-

There used to be a doctrine that has
now become old fashioned, that when

that he entered into contest either for
himself, his ideas or his friends as
participant and possible beneficiary.

to submit to the will of the majority.
