Boosters Column
SUGGESTS WATER SCHEME
Former Resident Offers Expert Advice Relative to Further Development
 of Water Supply
Wahpeton, N. D.,
 Feb. 26th, 1912.

Editor Sun;
 I have noted with considerable interest the Booster Column" that appears in The Coconino Sun each week, and l have also noted the agitation from time to time concerning an additional res ervoir for the storage of water for the city of Flagstaff. And hence this letter with the follow ing proposition, which you may publish in the Booster Column" if you desire, and if you think the suggestion worthy of consid- eration-no hard feelings on my part if you don't publish it.
 do not wish to be understood that am recommending h scheme outright, because all l have to base the suggestion on is my memory of the general contour of the land north of the site of the present reservoir, and before anyone would be justified in re- commenting such a scheme 1t would be necessary to have a survey made and to study the sit uation from many standpoints, with the result that it might not be feasible at all, or again it might be a good investment for the city to make. This would be for an engineer 10 say.
 The proposition is as follows: To construct the additional stor- age reservoir at some considera- ble elevation above the location of the present reservoir-connect the two with high pressure pipe, and utilize the available head in power house to generate cleo tricity, which might be sold to the local company or distributed by the city itself. For instance it might be possible to construct the other reservoir in the neigh borhood of Brookbank ranch, and then bring the high pressure line directly down the hill to the site of the present reservoir. l realize that a reservoir so located would be higher than the present pipe line through Schulz's Pass, but it might be possible to over come this difficulty by an inverted siphon, or by other means. Or again it might be better to have this new reservoir somewhere just below Schulz's Pass. This, how ever, would necessitate a much longer high pressure line, as would necessarily follow approxi- mately the present pipe line.
 Such a system would also give, by the addition of a motor driven pump at the power house, any desired additional pressure on the water mains in case of fire. With two reservoirs situated as above outlined water could be stored in the upper reservoir during such times of the day as there would be little or no load on the power house, and then at times of peak load great deal more water would be available than the aver age flow in the pipe line.
 l believe that a proposition of this sort would at once serve to give the city it's desired additional storage of water, and at the same time to furnish a reliable d cheap twenty-four hour electric service. Before building its sec ond reservoir 1 would strongly advise that Flagstaff look into this matter further.
 Yours very sincerely,
 A, V. TAYLOR.

Conductor Terry
Seriously Hurt

Conductor Charles Terry of
local freight train No. 1876 was
caught between a traction engine
which wes on a fiat car, and
q brake wheel, on last Saturday
and was badly injured but prob
ably not fatally. He was stand
ing on the fiat car in front of the
traction engine attending to the
brake wheel while going down
the steep grade at Medic, when
the machinery slipped, pinning
him between the wheel and en-
Gine. He was taken to the hos
pital at Tucumcari where he is
receiving medical treatment, and
at this writing he is doing nicely.
Charlie is an old timer on this
road and has many friends here
who regret to hear of his mis-
fortune and hope for his speedy
recovery.

Ground Gets
Good Soaking

Speaking of natural phenomena
we claim the snow storm of May
18th and l4th, 1912 goes down in
history as q record breaker. Snow
fell to a depth Of 8 Or 10 inches
and for two days it remained to
soak up the thirsty earth. We have
reioiced all over the splendid sup
ply of moisture in the soil and
this melting snow has certainly
fixed us up right. 1t was a little
unpleasant to take while it lasted,
and some of the people who have
delicate compilations are sufferin'
from "Snow-burns, and the stock
hada couple of bad nights out, but
as rule, now that it is over, we
are rejoicing over the effects of
the first summer snow storm
Farmers in the vicinity Of Roy
are waiting impatiently for the
soil to dry sufficiently to permit
them to get in their crops and
ranch men are rejoicing in the
prospect Of unlimited pasture for
the rest of the season regardless
of future weather conditions.

M. G. Keenan,
Badly Hurt

While driving a COW Friday fore
noon a short distance south of
French, Matt G. Keenan,, cattle
inspector, met with a serious acci
dent through his horse stumbling
by stepping in a hole, throwing
him violently to the ground. He
lay unconscious on theprairie for
fifteen or twenty minutes, being
alone, and when he regained con-
sciesnous he got on his horse,
which was standing a short dist
ance away, and came to town. His
lower lip on the right side was
cut clear through and down over
ninch, necesitating sewing sever
al stitches. 1t is a bad cut and will
require several weeks to heal.
Aside from this he sustained a
few other slight cuts on his face
and a bruise on his left forehead.
Otherwise he was uninjured. Mr..
Keenan, certainly had q narrow
escape from death. DR.. Hopkins
administered to the wounds and is
tending him. Springer Stockman

EDITOR
BURNED
Narrowly Escapes Being
Burned to Death When
Clothes Catch Fire

Eugene j. H. Roy, Editor of
the Spanish American was Sc
riously burned last Friday night
by a gasoline fire. Mr.. Roy
drew some gasoline from his
automobile for the lights in the
California Wine 6 Liquor Co.,
and while drawing the oil in the
dark his left arm became satuat-
ed, which he paid little attention
too, and after entering the build
ing he attempted to light a cigar
and in a second he was mass of
flames. Several friends stand
ing by pulled his coat off, think
ing the fire was only on the coat,
but instead his rndergarments
were also satuated and the flames
became larger than ever. Mr..
Roy held his arm towards the
ceiling which let the flames burn
upward until Mr.. Walkowiak, the
proprietor of the place wrapped
a blanket around the burning
man, extinguishing the blaze.
Had he held his hand along side
Of his oily automobile clothes, he
would, in all probability have
burned to death. but as it is. he
is suffering with a badly burned
hand and arm, which the doctors
claim will take about two months
to heal.

which is the limiting factor in
crop production here, is quite
abundant at present. But mois-
ture alone must not be depended
upon to produce good crops.
Favorable moisture conditions
must be combined with good
farming.
Moisture is lost from the soil
in four ways. First, it runs off
the surface; second it evaporates
from the surface; third, weeds
exhaust the soil moisture, and
fourth, it is used by crops.
The end and aim of good farm
ing is to prevent, as far as pos
sible, losses of moisture in the
first three ways mentioned, thus
diverting the maximum amount
to the use Of crops.
Thre are three essentials to
good farming here on the mesa:
/. The selection of those crops
which are known to. be best
adapted to this locality.
2. Thin planting.
8. Control of weeds.
1t is very evident that the
farmers who have been most sue.
cessful here are those who have
embodied these essentials most
thoroughly into their system Of
farming. OF these three essen-
tials, the last namsd needs the
most enphssis a. THY Tina The
greatest loss of soil moisture is
due to weeds. II the field

tion to keep them free from weeds

cally meet all otherrequirements.
