ENOUGH WATER AT ST. ALeANs
Apparently the Railroad City is In No
Danger Of Famine.

st, Adams, May 24.-Notwithstand-
ing the lack of spring rains and the
unusually hot weather which has pre-
vailed during portions of this month
a report received from the city reser-
voirs at Fairfax shows that there is
depth of 20 feet of water in the
lower reservoir and that the upper one
is full. This would be sufficient, it is
said, by men experienced in this line,
to last the city if the water is care
fully used, for a period of about four
months even if the drought should
continue for some time. Reports show
that at the time of the water famine
there was not nearly as much water
in the reservoirs, as at present, fol
the corresponding time and there was
hardly any rain during the summer.
