ARE We IN THE
ARTESIAN BASIN?
THIS IS A QUESTION THAT THE TOWN
TRUSTEES AND PEOPLE IN GENERAL
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

The question of adequate fire
protection and how to best secure
it is a perplexing one for the town
trustees although they have con-
sidered it from every viewpoint.
A couple of chemical engines have
been purchased which will be here
in a month or six weeks, which
when properly operated by small
company of men who will lose no
time in getting to fire, are said to
be very effecsive. However it is
realized that this is only Temporal
ry relief and the ambition of the
board is to get a deep we'll offer
ing a great sufficiency of water for
fire protection and at the same
time serve as drinking water for
general use.
The ideal we'll would be a deep
artesian we'll and the question is,
are we in the basin? Many are
inclined to think we are. They
point to the fact that Cheyenne
Agency has such we'll; Pierre has
one or more of them and that there
are a few west of the river and
south of us. North Dakota also
has number of strong flowing
wells west of the river. The adj
vocates in favor of an attempt to
secure such a we'll here point to
these facts and say that they GER
tainly justify an attempt. On the
other hand, several attempts have
been made at different places west
of the river which proved failures.
Only few weeks ago a we'll was
put down 1900 feet in Stanley
county but they failed to secure a
flow. The expense would be big
and unless there is quite a reason
able prospect of being successful
some think the experiment should
not be made.
In the event that such we'll is
started however the operation will
be watched with the greatest in
terest. A great many say that if
we don't get flow, we will surely
get gas. Others think it probable
that coal might be found. If such
an attempt is made and we should
get an excess of water, we can put
it in the lake, and if they also
strike gas or coal, or even both
we can probably arrange to take
care of these also.

Some people have an idea that in or

large sum to deposit; that the bank doesn't
care to be bothered by small accounts.
This, however, is a mistaken idea, as we
welcome all new accounts, and the same
courtesy and service is accorded the small
depositor as those in more fortunate cir

 And the little hero always tells the truth. He may have jumped off the dock into shallow water a few times. and he may have padded around in the breakers all the afternoon, but he hasn't been swimming. For it is common knowledge among the fellows that Waldo can't swim a stroke.

Technically Not a Lie

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 These lovely days usher in the season when such conversations as the following are to be heard in every other households: "Waldo, have you been in swimming?' ''No, ma am"
 'Waldo, told you that the water wasn't warm enough, and you promised me that you wouldn't go. But your face is cleaner than I ever saw it. Waldo, even your ears are clean. Have you been in swimming?' ''No, ma am

 Now fewer than eight persons have filed petitions claiming peerages, the dig mites sought for being an earldom and eight baronies. In each case the petition to the King asking for the termination of the alleged abeyance of a peerage in the petitioners favor has been referred to the committee of the privileges of the up- per house for consideration and report. Among the claimants is the Duke of Ath- oil, who seeks to establish his right to the ancient Earldom of Oxford long held by the De Veres. Etheldreda Mary Lady Petre, widow of the fourteenth baron, has presented a petition for the barony of Furnivall on behalf of her daughter the Hon. Mary Francis Katherine Petre. Viscount Gage claims the barony of Dy- nannt, and Sir Robert B. s. Wray Bart that of Fitzwaryn. Lord Gage also claims the dignity of Lord Martin, his petition being supported by Sir Robert Three per- sons each claim the three baronies of Burgh, Strabolg and Cobham-Mr R. G. Alexander of Halifax, MT. A. H. Leith of Freefield Aberdeenshire, and MT c. M. Kenworthy of Paddington.
 Perhaps the most interesting claim is that of MT. Francis Coutts, the well known poet, who seeks to establish his right to the title of Lord Latimer. MT. Francis Burdett Money Coutts assumed the additional name of Coutts by royal license in 1880. MT Coutts' mother who married the Rev. J. D. Money of Stod- ham Park, Hants, was the only sister of the Baroness Burdett Coutts, daugh- ter of Sir Francis Burdett, whose only son, Robert, died without issue. The baroness, who assumed the name of Coutts in 1S37 died in 1907, since when the title has not been claimed. Claimant, who is graduate of Cambridge university and barrister of the Inner Temple, was born in 1852. His only son. MT. Hugh Burdett Monet Coutts, is partner In the Coutts' bank

One of the prettiest features of the coronation will be the entrance of Prin- cess Mary. who, as the only daughter of the King, is to have procession to her self, and though only IA years of age will wear royal blue velvet train over a simple white dress.
