The premium list Of the Willma1
Street Fair will be mailed to the peo-
pie turnout the county during the
coming week. Look it over careful
ly, and then save it for reference I'M
til the fair. Make up your mind that
you will compete for some Of the cash
prizes. There is hardly home in
the county but what can find some
thing to bring to the fair and stand a
good chance to win a prize for. Don't
wait until it is too late and then see
some one else carry off the honors
and prize money for something which
you might have improved upon from
your place. We are going to have a
hummer of fair, and we want all
the people of the county to fully re-
alize it in advance and prepare to
take the best possible advantage of
the opportunity for themselves and
for the county as a whole.

Postmaster Crosby is trying to as
certain the wishes of the majority Of
the citizens Of Willmar and patrons
of this postoftice as regards adopting
the policy Of a closed Sunday. In
many Of the larger cities the post
Offices are now closed all day on Sun
day in order to permit the clerks and
carriers to rest and keep the day
without being required to spend a
portion of the same on duty. The
Willmar Tribune feels confident that
large majority Of the patrons of
the Willmar Office will be perfectly
satisfied to pass up their Sunday
mail. In the vast majority Of cases
there is no real necessity to get ones
mail on Sunday. It is largely a hab-
it. When one will know that no mail
can be had on Sunday one will
speedily learn to forget about it and
it will be that much easier to put the
business of secular days out of ones
mind. Let us all agree to put the lid
on Sunday mail at Willmar.

depth, but although these were wa
ter bearing the well was finished IN
them with difficulty The public
supply, is drawn from four wells 3
inches in diameter and about IS feet
deep. They are provided with
screens and are pumped by suction
at about rs gallons minute. The
water is only moderately hard, as is
shown by the analyses given in the
table below. About 50 per cent Of
the people use water from private
wells, which are bored or driven in
to the SURGICAL layers Of sand, and
the railway company is likewise
supplied from shallow well.
NEW LONDON The domestic
supply in the village Of New London
is obtained chiefly from driven wells.
The public waterworks draw from
the lake, and surface water is gem
orally used for industrial purposes.
FARM WATER SUPPLIES.
Three types Of wells are in use in
this county-(D driven, (2) bored
or dug, and 90 drilled. The driven
wells are confined to the localities
in which bed Of sand or gravel lies
at the surface. In the large area
in the northeastern part Of the coun-
ty where this condition prevails,
nearly all the wells are driven. They
are shallow and inexpensive and usu-
ally afford liberal supplies Of only
moderately hard water. The bored
and dug wells are also shallow and
do not generally reach the blue clay.
Many of them furnish only small
quantities of water and fail entirely
in dry years, but some yield more a.
bundantly. Most Of the farm wells,
especially in the morainic area, are
bored or dug. Drilled wells, for the
most part 2 inches in diameter, are
found in nearly all parts Of the coun-
ty, but are most abundant in Arc
lander Township ct: 12l N, R. 36
| X
W.. They vary greatly in depth,
probably averaging not much more
than 100 feet. They provide ample
supplies in localities where the bored
wells fail. AS the deep drift layers
contain the softest water there would
be an average in drilling to them.
SUMMARY AND ANALYSES.
In every part of the county the
granite probably lies within few
hundred feet Of the surface, and
deep-water zones therefore do not
exist. The glacial drift is, however,
several hundred feet thick and con-
tains an abundance of water. In
general, the best boiler supplies come
from the lower portions of the drift.

The Tribune is sorry to see that
some Of the boys were taken in by
the gift of the Sutherland speech in
plate form. Always look a gift horse
over carefully, before you accept it.
Sutherland's sarcasm and ridicule
will no more affect the forward march
Of the principle Of direct legislation,
the peoples veto and power Of recall,
than the frantic blinking and rush of
"a disturbed owl affects the suns rays.
The Sutherland speech is no doubt
n fair sample of the stuff we will be
RECALLED with in the next campaign by
the candidates of the interests, en-
phasized perhaps by panic for an
"object lesson"

Yield of Water.-The beds Of sand
and gravel are the water-bearing por-
tons of the drift. In the northeast,
where these are spread out over the
surface, copious supplies can be OBJ
tanned at slig ht depths. In the irreg-
ular morainic area there are also
abundant deposits of water-bearing
sand and gravel, but there are inter-
mingled with the bowlder clay in the
most complicated manner. In the
gently undulating province the drift
consists most largely Of clay; yet in
nearly every locality water will be
found at some level. AS a rule the
deepest beds are the mos persist
ent and contribute the largest and
most permanent supplies Of water,
but the structure of the drift is so
essentially irregular that every such
rule has exceptions.
In the vicinity of Willmar three
rather distinct water zones are rec
ognized. These are represented in
the section Of the Willmar railway
wells given above by "a the clay
and gravel near the surface, az the
bed Of gravel between the depths of
"a and SO feet, and (3) the sand and
gravel deposit below 900 feet. The
railway wells are 10 inches in dia-
meter and are supplied from the
lowest of the. three zones. = One of
them was tested with the following
results: ..-ss..*
~ Before pumping, water stood
at 10 feet below the surface.
(2) After pumping at the rate of
l57 gallons per minute for six hours
continuously: Water stood Is feet
below the surface.
(3) After pumping at the same
rate for nineteen hours continuously ;
Water stood 141a feet below the
surface.
az After pumping at the same
rate for thirty hours continuously
Water stood l411a feet below the sur
face.
(5) Five minutes after pumping
was stopped: Water had again ris-
en- to- it's normal level Of 10 feet be-
low the surface.
The 8-inch city well at Willmar,
which also extends to the deepest Of
these zones, has been pumped for
hours continuously at the rate Of 500
gallons minute.
HEAD OF THE WATER. On
account Of the surface irregularities
there is considerable difference in the
head Of the water. In most localities
it rises near the surface, and at the
base Of the high morainal ridge flows
can frequently be obtained.
T There is a group Of flowing wells
in Lake Andrew Township CT. l2l
n, R. 35W.) and such wells could no
doubt be obtained in other locali-:
ties. At Willmar the water from
both the deep zones comes virtually
to the surface, q slightly higher
than TIL. level of Foot Lake. .5s

Antiquity Of Stockings.

Stockings were known among the
Romans more than 1900 years ago, as
Is proved by paintings found in the
ruins of Pompeii: They were consid-
cred more ornamental than useful In
the colder climate of northern Europe
they became a necessity, and the man
ufacture Of them became recognized
employment in the twelfth century,
when they were fashioned chiefly of
cloth. In the reign of Edward H. they
assumed resemblance to those now
worn. At the courts Of Spain and
Italy they We're fashioned Of silk and

of shale, is without doubt present in
some parts Of the county but is not in
others. The following data bear on
this subject: ~ Twenty feet of
blue shale were penetrated in drilling
2 miles south Of Raymond; (2)
shale and sandstone have been dis
covered in a number of wells in
Swift and Chippewa counties to the
west: ~ shales have been encount-
cred at Renville, Olivia and Bird Is
land, which are seven or eight miles
south of this county; and (4) Gre
taceous rocks, in which fossils be-
longing to the Benton epoch have
been identified, are exposed about 10
miles beyond the northeastern ex-
tremity Of this county.
No successful wells ending in Gre
taceous rocks have been reported.
Where these rocks are present they
may consist entirely Of impervious
beds, which would not furnish water,
and they are probably nowhere of
value as a water-bearing formation.
ARCHEAN ROCKS. "e.
So far as is known, granite has
never been struck in this county,
though in number of places drill
ing has gone to a depth Of more
than 300 feet. However, there can
be no doubt that it lies generally
within few hundred feet of the sur
face. The following data throw light
on this subject: (1) At Benson, II
miles west of this country, granite
was entered at the depth of about
400 feet; (2) along Minnesota Riv-
er, about IA miles southwest, it is
exposed at the surface; (3) at Rem
vile, Olivia, Bird Island and Hec-
tor, to 10 miles. south, it has been
found at depths Of 1926 to $50 feet;
(4) at Grove City, 4 miles east, it
was encountered at a depth of sew
eral hundred feet; (5) at few
points not more than 10 miles east
it was discovered at depths of less
than 800 feet; and co. in a number
Of localities Is to rs miles north and
northeast it comes to the surface.
The granite will not supply water,
and no water-bearing formation ex-
lists below it.
WATER SUPPLIES FOR CITIES
AND VILLAGES.
WILLMAR.- IT he stratigraphid
section and water zones below Will
mar have already been discussed.
The upper beds yield very hard wa
ter and the lowest provide softer
supply, (See analyses in the table.
The water from all depths rises
nearly to the surface. The public
supply is taken from well inch
es in diameter and 273 feet deep,
ending with a screen in the same
thick deposit Of sand as the railway
wells described above. About 1900
people use this water, and 100000
gallons is consumed daily. Perhaps
20 per cent Of the inhabitants are
supplied from private wells, Of which
most are bored or dug into yellow
clay or gravelly seams near the sur
face and yield small quantities Of
hard water, but a few are drilled to a
depth Of about 100 feet and yield
more generously. The well at the
Touring mill, which is about 100 feet
deep, has been abandoned because
the water IS too hard for boiler pur-
poses.

KANDlY0hl. COUNTY.
By 0. E.. Meinzer.
D SURFACE FEATURES.

Kandiyohi County has three dis
tinct types Of topography and can
accordingly be divided into as many
photographic proyinces-(1) the ir-
regular morainic region north and
east Of Willmar, (2) the area Of
gently rolling prairie south and west
of the city, and 90 the level sandy
plain in the northeastern part of the
county. All three provinces are
poorly drained and contain some
lakes, but in the first named the lakes
are most abundant.
SURFACE DEPOSITS
Description.-The surface depos-
| it's consist almost entirely Of glacial
drift, which comprises bowlder clay
and beds Of sand and gravel. There
is no outcrop Of older rock and in on
" a very few places have the UNI
DERIVING formations been disclosed in
drilling. Throughout large portion
Of the county the drift averages not
less than 800 feet in thickness At
Willmar drilling has been carried to
a depth of $50 feet; in sec. 6, T. l19
n, R. 81 W., to a depth of 298 feet;
in sec. %, T. 121 NJ, R. sc w., to
a depth Of 303 feet; in sec. 20, T. l2l
n, R. IS W., to a depth of 318 feet;
and in sec. z, T. 100 n, R. IS W., to
a depth Of 337 feet, apparently with
out reaching the bottom Of the drift
sheet in any case. In the southwest
the drift is generally between 200 and
300 feet thick, and in the northeast
ern part it is also commonly less than
800 feet and is locally thin.
: The following section shows the
material penetrated by the two rail-
way wells at Willmar, all Of it prob
ably consisting Of glacial drift:
