LARNED SEEKS SOFT WATER


to find flow of soft water to use in
the city mains Contracts were let
some time ago to the G. w. Smith
Electric s. Ice Co. to sink wells in
various parts of the city to determine
wether sufficient flow of soft water
could be secured to supply the mains.
The water at present used by the
city comes from flow 725 feet below
the surface and is hard though en-
tirely free from organic matter. The
private deep wells of the Smith COM
pany and the Santa Fe tap a deeper
flow and furnish a supply of very soft
water. If the Smith company can
get sufficient supply of from this
deep underfiow they will supply the
city mains on permanent contract
with the city at the rate of cents
thousand gallons. The water will be
pumped by electricity-St State Jour
nal.
Our readers may remember that
Larned is the place where Governor
Stubbs and the Board of Control To-
Gated the new insane asylum. Kansas
taxpayers should also remember that
Wa-Keeney offered better land at less
than one third the Larned price, and
every foot of it underlaid with good
soft water within easy reach and be-
yond any danger of contamination.
Wa-Keeney doesn't have to buy
water from anybody. Neither does
for her. She has pumping and cleo
trio light plants of her own.
