The Rainy Day.

The day is cold and dark and dreary.
1t rains and the wind is never weary.
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold and dark and dreary.
1t rains, and the wind is never weary.
My thoughts still cling to the moldering
past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the
blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart. and cease repining.
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining.
Thy fate is the common fate of all
Into each life some rain must fall
Some days must be dark and dreary.

Eight Miles of Water Pipe
and Nine Miles Of Sewers
Laid.

Las Cruces. n. II. June 15.-The con-
tractors who had the contract for
putting in the municipal water sys-
tens have completed their work and
the two systems are ready to be turned
over 10 the trustees according TO the
terms Of the contract.
The original bid for the completed
systems amounted to S55, 600 in round
numbers. The board in charge Of the
work for the town had the right &C
cOrding to the Specifications to add
to any line, or to increase the size
Of any line by increasing the contract
price in proportion to the added equip
ment.
AS the water system stands today
there IS a little over eight miles OF

over nine miles OF sewer pipe have
been laid in the completing of this
contract. and as a result the total cost
Of the completed systems Will run
close 10 $4,000 on account Of this
added mileage OF pipes. The above
sum was realized from the sale OF
sewer and water works bonds and the
provisions Of the bond issue made it
necessary to use all this fund for con-
struction purposes only
One Of the great and lasting benefits
Of the pumping system installed on the
mesa where the city wells are located
is the proving Of the statement made
by biologists and others that the Ne
SiIa valley had an underflOW Of pure
water that was second to none IN the
state, and the wells Of the water
works drilled to a depth Of 12S feet
with water standing to within 90 feet
Of the top, shows that the underfloW
has the pressure TO force the water
upward in the well and to maintain
this level even with the pumps throw
ing over $4,000 gallons per hour, equal
to 400 gallons per minute.
The pumping equipment consists OF
a double action cylinder pump driven
by a 25 horsepower oil engine This
engine handles the pump with perfect
regularity and by speeding down to %
strokes per minute the water level in
the we'll is not lowered to any appre-
ciable extent while the well produces
400 gallons per minute, this water be-
ing in turn forced TO the top of a
water tower 90 feet in height and
thence into a tank
The Pressure.
The average water pressure by
gravity alone maintained in the mains
at all times will exceed 60 pounds per
square inch on Main street which
is increased to nearly IS pounds in
the lower levels Of town This pres
sure is increased by pumping direct
into the mains in case Of emergency
such as fire, and the pressure is then
run up to IS pounds to the square inch
at the plant which is so feet above
Main street.
Las Cruces can now boast the most
modern utilities for the comfort and
safety Of the pOpulace, for with an ef-
ficient electric light plant, modern Ice
factory, complete water system, sewer
system and several miles of paved
streets as well as graniteOid walks on
all the business streets and most of
the residence streets. this town stands
at the head Of any town Of double its
size in the state.
The purchase of large numbers of
small tracts of land on the first
bench, or mesa to the east Of the Ne
silIa valley for fruit growing marks
a further advance in the development
Of this valley, for with pumping from
the underfloW the fruit lands along
the mesa and down to the valley will
develop rapidly, this land is still in Its
portunities to get started in the fruit
