ARIESIAN WELLS
NEEDED BY CITY
MAYOR LOWELL STATES At
LENGTH TO THE FORUM THE
PENDING NECESSITY OF SINK
ING OF ARTEsIAN WELLS TO
INSURE FIRE PROTECTION.

Great variety of opinion exists as
to the utility of artesian wells as a
source of water supply for this city
Well water is being used for drink
ing and cooking purposes and is re-
garded by many as satisfactory" said
Mayor Lowell to a Forum representa-
tive today. 1T is the judgment Of
many old residents that sufficient
quantity Of such water can be OBJ
tanned by sinking a number of artesian
wells to supply the entire wants OF
the city both for fire protection and
other purposes.
Careful investigation, however, as
well as the opinion of experts is un-
favorable to the use OF we'll water for
all purposes. In the first place the
sufficiency of such a supply is con-
jectural Winnipeg has for many years
been depending upon wells and after
the expenditure of many thousands OF
dollars the people now demand a Wis
ible supply of water. This history of
many artesian Well in this county -
one of constantly diminishing supply.
The wells at Casselton which ten or
fifteen years ago produced a supply
SUFFICIENT for the entire wants of the
city have almost ceased to flow at ALL
In the second place, in the opinion Of
engineers and chemists, the well water

poses and is not susceptible of puri-

gradients are incapable Of elimination.
Notwithstanding the fact that wells
are not generally regarded by scien-

council has authorized the construc-

HANSBROUGH WARNS VOTERS
OF THE BURKE MACHINE

now running for the house, wanted to
go to the senate, for had not his
democracy been regular? There were
others. Indeed, 1t may be said that
even now there are other democrats
looking hopefully to the possibility of
a vacancy in the senate. Should there
be vacancy while the present gov
ernor is i'm Office. would he reward any
republican that helped to put him there
by appointing him to the senate? Did
he do SO when there was a vacancy
last year? OF course not. This, it
seems to me Is complete answer to
the governors mon partisan talk, and
accounts for the democratic machine in
the shop windows. In other words, a
democratic machine is already fun
fledged institution, here in this repub-
liam state, and John Burke is its patron
saint and party prophet.
But history fails to record a single
instance wherein any considerable
number Of republicans, having strayed
from the party fold to the sound OF the
siren notes OF democratic machine
builders, have not returned when they
discovered the deceptive methods en-
ployed to seduce them away And his
tory is again repeating itself; repub-
licans are now rallying around their
party standard, as they did in 1898

long ago how important, how satisfy
ing, indeed, how necessary 1t il to be
able to put aside personal anomosities
for the larger objects in life. Thus it
was that came to place o greater
value upon being d consistent repub-
Iican than upon the poor privilege of
getting even" with a supposed or even
a real enemy by voting the democratic
ticket. The man who swears to
avenge himself upon one who has
wr0nged him and is willing to sacri-
flee political principles in order to ac-
conpIish his purpose, invites much un-
happiness and In the end gathers lit
tie reward.
Looking over the political field, |
find q decided tendency toward closer
fealty in both, party organizations.
Democrats in North Dakota, although
few In number, are quietly lining UP
