Moorhead Department
lnexhaustible Water Supply
Under the City Of Moorhead
State GeOlsgiSt After Thorough Examination Makes Public
His Fndings-Deep WITHDRAWING Strata
Under the Whole City

According to N. H. Winchell, state
g~eologist there is a water supply for
the city Of Moorhead which is prac-
tically inexhaustible. 1t is believed to
extend uniformly under the whole
city, n hence that it will be likely to
furnish water to any place where 1t is
penetrated by a deep well in the city.
The report of N. H. Winchell, state
geoiogist, asked for about two weeks
ago by the water and light commits
sion, following a conference with MI.
Winchell, was received by City Clerk
Price this morning.
Accompanying the report Mr.. Win
cheH submits a cross section drawing
along the N. p. r. r. showing the
probable source of water in the expert
mental well which was sunk last year.
The figures give elevation above sea-
level the vertical scale exaggerated 1872
times. The report is told in ten ex-
planatory sections and closes with a
brief conclusion reached by Mr.. Win
cheli. Section / reads as follows:
Since the cylinder in the large well
is down 81 feet and is in the water.
and since the water rises from the bot
tom of the well which is 1877 feet deep.
the whole distance through which the
water rises is 1877 feet. Since at Dill
worth, three miles to the east the
head water is substantially the same
as the head at Moorhead, the water
stratum at the two places must be
the same" Sections up to section Z
are technical and section Z reads as
follows:
l the same general structure
is known to characterize the drift
sheet for many miles to the north
and to the south of Moorhead, it APP
pears that there must be a vast amount
Of water which is available for the
Moorhead' wells.

unique Law POINTS
IN The CONTEST

Continued From Page one.
the names of the voters upon the
county or general election poll books
and that after the election was over
and the ballots counted, they copied
from the county books onto the NUM-
cipaI poll books what they supposed
were h voters at such election, with
the result that n municipal poll book
had 2S2 names, the other municipal
book 240 names; the republican pri-
mary poll book 242 names, the dem
ocratic poll book AZ. Upon opening
the box, it was discovered that there
were actually 290 ballots.
The law requires the judges of cleo
ton at the close of the voting, first to
count the ballots, and see that they
correspond in number with the actual
ballots cast before opening such ball
lots to determine for whom they were
voted, and that if there was an excess
Of ballots yer the number of names
appearing on the poll list, then it be-
came the duty of the judges of the
election to throw out by lot a suf-
hcient number Of ballots so that the
number Of ballots to be counted would
be equal to the number of persons
voting, as appeared by the poll book.
This requirement Of the law was not
carried out, and it is claimed by the
defendant that it is impossible for the
court now to know or make any &C.
curate finding for whom the extra bal
lots should be taken, and they ask
that the entire vote Of that ward be
thrown out.
Counsel for the plaintiff contend that
by taking together the municipal poll
books, the republican and democratic
primary poll books, and the ~afidavits
of n~on-registered voters, a sufficient
number Of names will be found to equal
the number of ballots discovered in the
box, but defendants argue that the
names appearing on the primary poll
books could in no manner be consider
ed in connection with the municipal
election, claiming that they were used
for an entirely distinct and separate
election.
Nine Votes o. X.
In the m~ayoralty contest, Judge Pol
lock this morning declared that John
T. Nolet, a student at the agricultural
college, was a voter. Nolet's parents
live in jamestown and he has been at
tending school and working in the
city. He asserts he is disappearing,
having worked for DR.. Bailey as a
care tender Of the furnace asst win
ter and was formerly employed in the
circulation department of a local
newspaper here. He says he intends
to make his home in Fargo.
The plaintiff called Addison Leech
and Sam Graham to identity the poll
books for the presidential preference
primary, stating that more men vot-
ed than are shown on the registration
and poll books.
With the ruling on Nolan's right
to vote this makes nine Of the con-
tested voters who have been declared
to have a vote by Judge Pollock. The
others are: I. x. CaIman. Alfred G.
Anderson. L. Montgomery, Clarence
Walter, miller Vance, Walter Bots
ford, Oscar Knutson. Norton Hen
rickson.

In Western North Dakota.

Fergus Falls Journal: e. S. Fergu-
son returned from a trip to Bellheld
in the western part of North Dakota,
Tuesday morning, and says that the
rainfall there last week was extreme
~ heavy. The rain began falling there
on Wednesday, and continued until
Saturday. three days steady down
pour. Saturday it changed to snow at
about the time the rain commenced
falling here, and a few inches Of snow
fell, most of which has since melted.
The country is literally drenched not
only throughout Dakota but away out
into Montana. in what is ordinarily
known as the dry belt. The farmers
are elated over securing so much moist
ure. and hope to raise an unusually
good crop. Some seeding has been
done, but not very much.

"Since the rise OF the water in the
well is 1875 feet above the bottom OF
the well, there must be q sheet OF wa
ter bearing gravel somewhere in the
drift sheet, whose top and bottom
are at least 125 feet apart"
Section 8 reads as follows: IF such
a sheet, although 1t may be irregular
in shape Inc thickness, extends to-
wards the east ae is indicated, and In
definitely north and south, it is. easy
to see that it is practically inexhaust-
ible. There is no known reason why
it should not extend uniformly under
the whole city, and hence that it will
be likely to furnish water to any place
where it is penetrated by a deep well
in the city.
Devise Mechanical Handling.
The closing paragraph of the report
reads as follows: at Is for the
commission of the department to de-
wise the mechanical handling of the
water in order to make it Of use to
he city. But since it is known to
rise somewhat above the level which
Is taken for its head, it might be made
to overflow into a reservoir directly
from the well, and in that case rile
expense of pumping 1t into a reser-
voir could be obviated.'

commission, said today that he and
his associates had no had time to
digest the report in all of it's details
and compare it with the drawing

that has been done a meeting Of the

exceedingly bright.

Making Food in the Laboratory
the Time Near Hand When Chemistry Supply

TIME basis of physical life is a
substance called protoplasm.
The word protoplasm means
the first formed" and the idea I'M
derlying it is that this substance
represents the first step from univ
ing matter to living bodies, such
as plants and animals. Everything
that contains protoplasm is alive,
and without protoplasm there is no
life
That eloquent paladin of science
Thomas II. Huxley used to charm
big audiences with his lecture on
protoplasm. He told his hearers
how the activities of living ami
NAL gradually use up it's supply of
protoplasm, and how it is compell-
ed to renew it by eating other crea-
lures, either animals or plants,
which possess this precious sub
stance, for an animal can not
MAKE protoplasm; it must find it
somewhere and take 1t READY
MADE. The only living things that
can make their own protoplasm out
of the raw materials of nature are
plants. We know what chemical
elements protoplasm contains, but
nevertheless we have not discover
ed the secret of putting them to-
gether in such a way as actually to
form protoplasm. Plants possess
that secret.
We get protoplasm either by TAX
ing 1t at second hand from animals
which, in their turn, have taken 1t
primarily from plants. or we get it
more directly by ourselves eating
the plants. We start in life with
certain amount of protoplasm,
which has been supplied to us at
birth by our parents, but as we use
il up we are compelled to replace
the waste by eating something
which contains it,
Professor Huxley used to illus
trate this process very amusingly.
He said:
My protoplasm will be distinct
~ less in amount at the end of this
lecture than it was at the begin
ming. BY and by | shall probably
have recourse to the substance
commonly called mutton for the
purpose of renewing the supply.
Now, this mutton was once the liv-
ing protoplasm, more or less modi-
fed of another ANIMAL sheep A
singular inward laboratory which |
possess will dissolve a certain por-
ton of the modified protoplasm;
the solution formed viii pass into
my veins, and the subtle influences
to which it will then be subjected
will convert the dead protoplasm
into living protoplasm, and thus
trans substantiate sheep into man.
Nor is this all If digestion were a
