Mcmillan And Worham Wells Will Be Well Eauipped As Soon
As The New Engines Are lnstaIed-Both
Have Powerful Pumps

While Lubbock has not made
such great blows about her great
irrigation wells and claimed that
we have water enough to put
the Pacific Ocean to shame, still
we have some water, and our
people are going after II in no
uncertain wav. A number of
our land owners are spending
money and making great i'm
provements, and are installing
irrigation wells that will some
day in the very near future prove
to the outside world that Lub-
book county is not outclassed by
any other section of the great
state of Texas from the stand
point Of water supply for any
purpose.
The last days OF last week
there was unloaded from the
cars at this station a monster
engine which was taken out to
the Workman farm just east of
this city and will be installed at
his big well, a halftone cut of

Yesterday at the high school

Of the Civic League was held
and some interesting things for
the upbullding of Lubbock and
civic Improvements Of the city
discussed.
The committee that was ap-
pointed at a recent meeting TO
go before the City Council and
ask them to have a crossing
placed on Broadway and South
Second Streets for the conven-
ience OF the school children. re-
ported that the proposition was
received favorably by the coun-
ell and something will likely be
done at an early date toward
this great Improvement. II is
greatly needed and the City
Council will get one vote Of
thanks when this work is COM
pleted, II they never get another.
II was agreed by the League
that a canvas Of the town be
made to ascertain as nearly
as possible Just how many trees
will be planted in Lubbock this

Mr.. Schriver's ntIte daughter was
