THE WELL IS ONE OF THE FINEST ON THE PLAINS
The Equipment is First Class and Modern in Every Respect And all
in Fine Working 0derfire Company Needs Practice and
Added Equipment to Properly Utaize the Water Supply

In these columns has been
seen many times mention of
the water works system that has
been under construction in Lub-
book the past six months. We
can now state that il is finished.
and there is water in abundance
for all purposes. Tie water
was turned into the reservoir the
latter part of last week after the
pump had been running for sew
eral days getting the sand out
of the well, and the large res
ervoir which Is constructed Of
concrete and has a capacity of
one hundred and seventy-six
thousand gallons, was soon filled.
and then the gelevated tank,
with a capacity of eighty thous-
and gallons was filed. The
mains were opened and a mighty
force Of water rushed through
10 all parts Of the city where the
lines had been laid. And only
two leaks were discovered.
Hose were attached TO the
plugs on the square and the
test Of pressure proved to the
entire satisfaction OF all that
water could be thrown all over
the three story Citizens National
Bank building, which is at this
time the tallest BUILDING in the
business part of town. Plugs
in the various points in the city,
forty in all were opened and
found to be in fine shape.
The well is recognized as one
II the best on the Plains. Its
exact depth is 200 feet, and
he water rises 20 within 46
feet Of the top Of the ground. .

Morse air compression pump,
which is the only one that we
ave heard Of on the Plains.
The engine room is built of
rick and concrete. The ma
hinery is first class aud of

Sunday evening at the Pres.

Of the city. Rev. Elliott, pastor
OF the Cumberland Presbyte-

Robert Ritchey and Miss Mollie

These young people have many
friends in and around Lubbock
who will ioin the Avalanche in

was quite a surprise to many.

few, that they were even ac-
9uainted with each other. Miss

ming order, and everything
looks good around the city well
and power house.
The volunteer fire company
should now get together. as
sign each a duty, and get into
practice. They need some more
equipments in order to get the
best results from the water
pressure, such as another hose
cart, hook and ladder wagon
and team to draw same. These.
we are Of the opinion that the
city should as soon as possible
provide 80 that before we are
unfortunate enough TO have a
fire, that we will be prepared to
combat the flames more success
fully than in the past. This
VIII require a considerable outlay
of money, but it is the only
way that Lubbock will get the
much needed reduction in insur-
ance rates. With the water
pressure that the town has we
are certainly entitled to il.
Let those who join the volun-
teer company do so with the
intention Of devoting some of
their time to practice and drill
work, famillarize themselves
with the operations of the
machinery and the locations of
the hydrants. so that they will
know exactly where to tie on to
get the quickest results should
fire originate within the reach
)f the water mains.
The mains are being tapped
Tor private uses at many places
and as soon as the work can be

That New Road East

AT the recent sitting of the
Commissioners Court a very i'm
portant county road was opened
TO the east line Of the county.
This road Strengthened out the
route and therefore shortened il
several miles. which makes 1t a
very important one. Over this
road viii come the trade from
the entire eastern part of the
county, and a great deal from
the west side Crosby county.
The Commissioners did a good
deed when they authorized the
opening of this road. IL is GER
tainly a great convenience to the
people of that section of the
country and it will be very
beneficial to the people of Lub-
book and the town in general
The road was opened to the ex-
treme east line of Lubbock
county. Ii crosses the canyon
east of town. then runs north 10

That Road West

Now that the new mail line is

to Plains, it will increase the i'm
portance of straight road west
from Lubbock. We understand
that a road has been laid out to
the wes, line of the county. but
possibly has not been opened up.
II not. il should be done imme-
diately. so that the people from
the counties west and southwest
can get here with their produce.
II the road west is not in the
proper place for present uses.
then the business men of the
town should take steps to put
the road that is most used, in
good condition. all the way
through. so that there need be
no complaint along this line.
We understand there is some
bad lakes in lane just west of
town that should have the at
tention of the people of this
county. 1t would be a good
business policy too, to help the
west improve their
roads il necessary. Lubbock
IS the wholesale trading
point for these counties and we
should cater TO their support.

Simple as it is, it gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obsti-

due to the fact that it is slightly laxa-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. 1t is pleasant to
take-children like it. An excellent rem

the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
