ALKAL| AND SALT
TROUBLE REMOVED
Source of Trouble is Found And BY
Shutting Out Small Well Water
is Freed.

The city authorities are rejoicing
over the success Of the experiment to
rid the city water Of the salt and
alkali that has been so pronounced
since the large well at the pumping
station was drilled. The water is now
free from salt as when the first artes-
ian well was discovered in vinita.
The presence of salt and alkali in
the city water had caused considerable
worry to the city officiais, in charge
of the water department. An investi-
cation was made and it was found that
the small we'll in the northeast corner
of the reservoir was furnishing the
salt. This is one of the small wells
drilled when the water works system
was built, and the fact that no sale
had been noticed pryor to the drilling
of the large well, which was drilled
about twenty-feet from the small we'll
led to the theory that the pressure of
the large well was forcing the water
through the salt strata known to exist
at depth of 1855 feet into the small
well, which had not been cased. The
same theory was advanced in regard
to the alkali, A considerable quantity
of the alkaIi is known to exist in the
earth down to depth of about one
hundred feet. The pressure of the
large well forced the water through
this into the small well and the latter
carried it into the city reservoir.
The water from the small we'll has
been cut out of the reservoir and now
the city water is as soft and pure as
before the trouble occurred
AS soon as the drill is through with
the well at Estella, it will be returned
here and the large well will be eased
down below the salt and alkali and
then the water of the smaller well can
again be turned into the reservoir free
from the impurities.

preparations practically complete for
the gathering of the great Convention
of Southern Merchants in Nashville,
F bruary 2S and the three first days
of March, the executive committee and
the various subcommittee have come
to a realization that it is much more
undertaking than even they
had expected. When the movement
was launched, it was thought that
something of an educational campaign
would be necessary to bring merchants
to Nashville for the purpose of crystal
lizing public sentiment in regard to
the proposed parcels post law. It was
found, however. that southern mer-
chants were already wide awake as
to the significance of the thing, and

that, almost as unit, they opposed
the passage of any such bill as that
now before congress. Enthusiasm
throughout the entire south came with
out urging and for some time past the
question before the committee has
been. not how to get merchants inter
ested, but how to take care of them
when they get here.
The post office department of the
United States government realizes the
importance Of the convention and,
some days ago, made the request that
a representative of the department be
allowed to address the convention,
favorably to the bill now pending. The
request was granted and a representa-
tive of the department, one of the as
sistant post masters general, will ad.
dress the convention.
Among the distinguished speakers
will be John Sharpe Williams, of Mis-
sippi, former governor Benton McMil-
lin of Tennessee and former secretary
of war, Luke 3. Wright.
The list of commercial organizations
cooperating with the executive com
mittee in the interest of the conven-
ton includes practically all such or
ganizations Of any Importance in the
south. Among the recent ones to line
up are the Chamber of Commerce OF
San Antonio. Tex, and the Business

LOR|MER'S FRIENDS
WOULD FORCE VOTE
Reverldge Speech Assumes Appearances
Of FlIIbuster Against Vote on the
Lorimer Case.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, d. c., Feb. "a. = The
determination to get a vote before adj
journment was expressed today by
friends of Senator Lorimer. who were
present in force in the senate chamber
at the beginning of the session.
Senator Beveridge took the floor at
one o'clock, continuing his Lorimer
speech that already has extended over
nine hours. Beveridge showed little
evidence he would make good his In
timation of yesterday that he would
speedily conclude today. AS he pro-
ceeded with the arraignment of the
gentleman from Illinois, the galleries
were filled, but senators were as
scarce as when the dullest of business
is being enacted. The effect made to
have the hour fixed for vote failed.
Beveridge refused to yield and the
proceedings assumed the appearance
Of filibuster against vote on the case.

PLAN TO CLEAN UP
ALLDEBTS OF CLUB
Members Are Convinced That Each
Member is Individually Liable
For Obligations.

The Commercial Club got right
down to business at largely attended
meeting last night and faced the fact
that 1t is about $1,000 in the hole on
the Woodcock Manufacturing company
proposition, and has yet over $500 to
go before the oil refinery deal Is clos
led. The situation was referred back
to the committee of which s. u. Wal.
len is chairman. Mr.. Wallen announc-
ed that If he continued as chairman,
there would be something doing until
the deficit were cleared up.
The meeting was called to order by
President Wilson at S:35 and Seymour
Riddle read statement prepared BY
Judge Gill Of the Woodcock situation.
It appeared that the club would have
to pay $1,226 more to make good its
promise to furnish the company a
fully paid for building. About $3.50 of
this amount had been subscribed and
was in process of collection, but com
ling in slowly The balance had never
been pledged Judge Gill sf6lf6Sz&l

Woodcock companys needs and pros.
poets. The company must, he said,
have money for working capital. It
had the plant, and had the market
open for its goods.
Mr. Wallen suggested that an as.
|sessment be levied upon each member
of the club to cover the unsubscribed
balance. When his committee was
asked to report plan at the next
meeting, Mr. Wallen continued:
Il shall be in favor Of an assess.
ment, and Of pushing the collection Of
the unpaid pledges, even If we have
to bring suit for them"

incorporated When reminded that II

"Then | suppose each one of us is

general maintenance bill for all state
departments and institutions for the
two years ending June 80, 1918,
