HOW MINOT SECURES A
SUPPLY OF PURE WATER
Magic City Has UptoDate Filtration Plant Such as Fargo
Proposes to Put in On Larger Scale

The following information about the
new filtration plant and water system
of Minet, which appeared in the last
Issue Of The Minot Democrat, will be
OF interest to Fargoans, as this is the
kind Of plant which it is proposed
to install here:
Minot's supply of water is taken
from the Mouse river through a gray
ity intake pipe S6 inches in diameter,
into a concrete suction we'll rs feet
deep.
After passing through the filtration
plant the water is pumped into mains
TO a 100000 gallon tank located on the
south hill at the intersection OF Char
1ebois avenue and st. Leo street This
tank was furnished by the Minneapolis
Steel & Machinery Co., and has an ele-
walton of los feet above the top of the
concrete foundations to the roof of the
tank, giving pressure at the pumping
station of 1l7h pounds to the square
inch. For fire protection pressure can
be increased to ESQ pounds to the
square inch by closing the gate on the
trunk line. The city has installed
water mains as follows:
3,30S feet of 16-inch pipe.
1857 feet Of 14-inch pipe.
5000 feet Of 12-inch pipe.
1,1S3 feet of I0-inch pipe
4,237 feet of s-inch pipe.
A4,527 feet of 6-inch pipe.
S24 feet of 4-inch pipe.
A total of 61,136 feet, or eleven and
one-third miles of water mains, the
pipe weighing LIZA tons. There are
T6,S02 pounds of specials, including
crosses, tees. bends, sleeves, etc. There
was forty-five tons of pig lead used to
run the 5000 joints in the construction.
There are three 16-inch gates, three
14-inch gates, nine 12-inch gates, four
10-inch gates, eight S-inch gates, and
sixty-seyen 6-inch gates, or a total Of
ninety-four gates. There are seven
teen 6-inch hydrants, with secondary
valves, and los 5-inch hydrants, giving
a total OF 122 hydrants for fire protec-
ton.
The contract for the distribution
system, filtration plant and tank was
awarded to James Kennedy of Fargo,

Can See Our Country At
Its Very Best This Fall.

Doubtless there VIII be many
farmers in the drouth and heat
devastated states who Will have
both time and desire to visit other
states and particularly districts like
Delta county which have been less
unfortunate.
To all such an invitation is ex-
tended to visit this county during
the fall. when 1t can be seen at its
best, and not to wait for winter,
after the crops have all been gath
cred.
About Fair time in September
would be nice time to come or
oven through the month of October
would be better than any winter
dates.

our land produces. Then you can

Says Money VIII he Plentiful.

L. F. Hubbard was in Tuesday
from Lower Surface Creek and mad
the statement that in his opinion
there would be more money in
Delta county next fall and winter
than ever before.
Il have been well over the Sur
face Creek section, and l estimate
that there viii be from 1000 to
1.1OO carloads of fruit shipped
from this district. l attended n
meeting last Saturday night of
eight or nine farmers who met to
consult about ordering fruit boxes,
and these few men arranged to put
in an order for $4,000 boxes. All
crops of the county are fine.
Enough alfalfa was plowed up last
fall to make what is left bring a
good price. and the meadow ground
was largely planted to potatoes or
other products which, by reason of
failures in other states, will all
bring top prices.
Mr.. Hubbard. who has carefully
figured crop and orchard outputs in
Delta county for dozen years.
and who has never missed 1t very
far, thinks there will be 2.400 cars
of fruit to this county's record
the present year. This is about
400 cars above previous estimates.

will be hung in October. Field, whe
did the killing, goes to the pen
for life. The pair, it is said, went
to the prison laughing and joking,

King was an eX-convict. Field is
said to have been born in Mont

SOME HINTS ON THIS SEA-
SONS LOCAL PRODUCTION
Our Fine Crops a Natural Result Of
Land, Water, Location and
Conditions.

That this section should have
good crops this year is not a mar
vel. 1t is a natural deduction.
We have the soil, the climate
! and abundance of water with which
to irrigate.
The greater wonder would be
if We had a crop failure.
There could hardly be such a
thing as a general crop failure with
US, under these conditions Some
particular product may occasionally
lack full yield, but others of
equal Importance, will yield the
limit
This has been the case year
after year and there is every as
surance that it will continue.
Our soils are deep and lasting,
and, with little care this land
will be perpetual in crop produc-
ton.
With snow-capped mountains at
g distance of 80 to so miles on
each side, it would be impossible
for the hot-blast winds that have
burned up the crops of the plains
states this year to effect US.
Our bitches are our safeguard
against drouth. When our lands
need moisture it is but to open
headgate and give it the water its
growing crops crave.
And thus it is that while the cry
of crop failures this season is al
most nation wide, our beautiful val
leys and irrigated mesas are green
and golden with growing fields and
ripened harvest. Our alfalfa fields
have given one cutting and are al
ready rank with second growth,
after which there will be even
third harvest Our wheat is in the
shock and oats nearly ready to
harvest Our potato fields are
mass of vine and bloom, with the
rows that are like pay-streaks or
gold in their heavy yield of ma
turing tubers. Our lucious berries
have been and are still in evidence.
| Our cherry crop has been good. Our
melons will yield abundantly. Our
peaches will be plentiful and our
great winter apple orchards VIII
add two or three million dollars to
crop yield of Delta county. Added
to all of this and with the close
of a prosperous year will come the
gathering of our estimated 10000
tons of sugar beets, which will bring
to the growers some S2OOO,OOO or
more.
This story is catalog of facts.
Every paragraph and every sent
ence tells of demonstrated con-
dition and proven truth.
Our people must not be blamed
for rejoicing in their splendid pos
sessions of location and crops, but
they must not forget a full measure
of sympathy for those OF other
states and sections who have this
year reaped failures to an extent
most appalling.

Catholic Church at Montrose
Heavily Damaged by

On Sunday afternoon, just as
the train was pulling out from
Montrose over the broad-guage for
Delta, the fire bells began ringing
and the whistles blowing, and a
dense smoke could be seen rising
near the center of the town.
Fire had broken out at the
Catholic church. The roof and a
portion of the exterior were destroy
ed. causing an estimated loss of
81, 900 to $1,000.
The fire was presumed to have
started from some one or more of
the candles, possibly overlooked
and left burning after a funeral ser
vice held in the building in the
forenoon.
The Catholic society of Montrose
is entitled to sympathy for so
heavy loss to their church build
ing.

Look After Our Drinking Water

Parties who have visited the
water intake at the head of the
pipe line on Grand mesa, tell
stories about dead water dogs lay
ing in the fluid, swelled up two or
three times their natural size.
Such recitals are almost enough
to turn even temperance enthu-
siast against water, and If true
the matter is certainly one which
should invite the attention of the
council and health officers to in
vestigate.
The good health of our people is
matter of too much Importance
to hazard, and the purity of the
water We drink is vital factor in
relation to health.

for the statements made. 1t can
neither deny nor confirm them.
In bringing them to public notice
it does so in order that they may

The building will be of stone and
pressed brick, with high basement
for heating, baths and retiring
rooms. The upper floor will be in
one large reading and library room.
The dimensions of the building will
be ~ by "A feet.
The structure will be a fine ad-

Pk1f. G. P. WELDON SAYS
OUR CROP BIGGEST EVER
Crops in General Will BE Record
Breaker This Year.-Plenty
of Fruit.

Prof Geo. p. Weldon returned
to Grand Junction Wednesday even
ing after thorough investigation
of Delta county crop conditions. He
told an Independent reporter at
the depot that this county would
have the biggest crop in its his
tory this year.
Il am very much pleased" said
Prof. Weldon. The grain, sugar
teets, potatoes and in fact every
thing is in fine shape, and the
apple crop on Surface Creek mesa
is nothing short of marvellous"
In speaking of California mesa
and the country to the west, he
said he had never seen potatoes
and sugar beets looking so we'll
Prof. Weldon also had much to
say in favor of the North Fork sec
thought of the contest between
Delta and Mesa counties-well we
promised not to quote him. only
he said we might quote him as say
ing it would be nip and tuck.
Now will the Grand Junction
Sentinel please have a fit? We
know it will, but not such a serious
one as it would il We told all We
know We wonder II they will have
the audacity to come out now and
call Prof. Weldon a liar and fake
booster for this county as it called
the citizens in general of Delta
county in its issue of Tuesday. The
Sentinel is surely becoming the
prime knocker OF the Western Slope
and 1t occurs to us that they must
be getting the least bit fidgety over
this fruit contest down there or
that publication wouldn't get so
excited.
However. we feel pretty safe for
we believe MIR. Weldon is one of
the most able men in his line to be
found. as well as very conserva-
tive man, and even the Sentinel
must admit that he knows more
about crops and conditions in Delta
and Mesa counties than does the
Sentinel and its office force.

WANT COUNTY TO BUY THE
GRAND MESA FISHERIES
Privilege Would be a Valuable As
set.-Private Ownership is
Not Satisfactory.

1t seems to be the general wish
hold for the people the entire fish
ing privileges of the Grand mesa
lakes, which could easily be made
the biggest fish plant in the state.
In their run down and depleted
condition, over 100000 spawn
have been taken from few OF those
lakes this year, and well informed
fishermen claim that none of the
lakes are one-half stocked.
Heretofore the lakes have been
deprecated more or less, and there
always has been and likely always
will be an unsatisfactory feeling
against private ownership. Most
parties who have been interviewed
say this feeling would not exist if
the county owned the fishing and
that the laws would be generally
lived up to.
That the privileges would be-
come a valuable asset of the coun-
ty is argued without denial and
with the lakes well stocked it would
become one of the greatest fishing
resorts of the West, there is no
question.
1t is hinted that these privileges
could be purchased for $40. 900 or
less and it is believed that if left
to a vote the matter would be car
ried for the county to buy these
privileges by almost unanimously.
