 q was never in a state prison as visitor or convict. but | had a tale to tell, IL was about my arrest and trial because I happened to resemble anoth- CT man and about my sentence for twenty years for manslaughter. Then came such incidents of barbarity on the part of the warden and turnkeys that 1t made my own blood run cold. Lie? Why. it was the slickest. sleek est kind. where the real truth would have been kicked out doors.
 "I made one or two little mistakes before I got settled down. For in stance. I went to a spelling school with a family. l was chosen as one of the contestants and not only spelled the whole school down. but the school teacher with it. It was an unwise thing 10 do.

 There was a widow who fell in love with me. Don't smile. She weighed 2lO pounds and had the asthma and was romantic.

 Do you think the farmers take me for a tramp? Not much. I claim to be. but they know better. A part of them take me for a detective on the trail of a bank wrecker and the others for the son of a millionaire driven from home because he would not mar ry the girl selected for him.
 As a detective 1 am regarded with awe and reverence and receive many confidential offers of assistance.

"The Liver Pills act
So Naturally and

Such a statement, coming from
the cashier of a bank, shows what
confidence responsible people have
in these pills. Mr.. A. L. Wilson
after trying them wrote:
II have used DR.. Miles Nerve
and Liver Pills and also your
Anti-Pain Pills, on myself, with
good results. The Liver Pills
act so naturally and so easily
that I scarcely know that

being troubled with headache I

immediate relief in every case"

In tho above, there is no allow
ance for any rock excavation either
on pipe line or in reservoir That
there will be some in both cases is
absolutely certain. Neither is any
allowance made for the purchase Of
right of way for pipe lines or land
for reservoir while it is certain be-
yond any doubt that the town could
not secure its entire right of way
and reservoir site without some pay
ments.
The annual variation in and amount
of the yield of the Hammond Springs
is matter of the greatest impor-
lance. No definite report on this can
be made for there Is no reliable ac-
tual data available nor have any con-
tinuous or accurate measurements ev
err been made. To adopt this source
would be unsafe and extremely un-
wise until the continuous records Of
at least one complete year were a.
valuable for study; and that period
is far too short to place absolute de-
pendence upon the results for an ex-
tremely dry year is likely to occur
at any time. The minimum flow of
these springs should not be less than
from 10000 gallons Tor 1875 inches)
to 100000 gallons Tor 16 inches) per
"a hours and until that yield were
established, 1t would be folly for the
town to invest from $4,000 to s44,-
600 to bring in that supply. In con-
clusion, If these springs were util-
lied, it would be necessary to pur-
chase a considerable tract of land
In their immediate vicinity to abso-
lutely protect their source against
Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1911-07-29

the intrusion of headings or tunnels
to tap the same supply. / advise the
Board that it would be wise policy
to arrange to confine the outflow Of
these springs In a proper channel,
establish a weir gaging stating and
employ some reliable man to make
at least weekly and better, bi-week-
ly measurements of the flow. The
money SO used would be wisely ex-
pended with view to possible flu
ture use. 1t should be done at once.
1t is, therefore, evident that the
water works system, utilizing the
Hammond Springs as the source OF
supply, would cost at least $4,000
which amount is largely in excess
of the bonding limit of the town and
it would thus be impossible to con-
slider this source from the financial
point of view, If from no other.
