Water in Wells.

rule the water IN wells is lower
now than when the county was
first settled. We have known
) this in a general way, but are
glad now to see it definitely back
ed up BY Bulletin No. 90, recent
ly issued by the Bureau of Soils
of the United States Department
of Agriculture. Figures are pre-
seuted for thousands of wells
scattered over every part of the
United States. Fifteen hundred
of these wells are located in
Iowa. 1t is interesting to notice
that the water level of most OF
the wells has dropped, year by
year, since the settlement of the
country. Especially is this no
ticeable in the states of Minneso-
ia, Iowa, Missouri. Nebraska,
South Dakota and North Dako-
ia. In Kansas some of the wells
have lowered, others have raised
and some have remained station
airy. Some typical statements
concerning wells in Iowa are as
follows:
A spring failed; the. time is
not far off when sheet water will
be exhausted and drilled wells
will have to replace them"
1.-TWO wells have gone dry; the
water has lowered ten to twenty
feet"
1.-The ground level of water
has remained the same for about
twenty years; about that time all
wells had to be re-drilled; some
springs have failed permanently
since the land has been titled f.;
first settlement in 1S50-all
springs and surface water then. "
Water supply is considerably
lower; fifteen years ago all were
dug wells, but these have given
out in most places; our sloughs
are drained and the water goes
down."
"Wells drilled and bored; sur
face wells discarded years ago.
Some springs 60 dry in summer.
Since the timber has been cut
and the land has been plowed,
the moisture is not held at the
surface to supply them"
I'VE had springs .in an early
day, but they have failed"
Surface water has deepened,
owing to tilling, but the deeper
wells seem to be about the same
for the last forty years.
Twenty-Five years ago most
wells were dug twenty-five to
forty feet; they are now bored or
drilled fifty to eighty feet"
The above quotations are typi-
cal of 517 reports, covering 1,sO2
wells in the ninety-nine different
counties of the state. 1t is esti-
mated that in Iowa and theneigh-
boring states to the north and
west, the water table has gone
down each ten years since settle
.ment at the rate of about two
feet.
Is the lowering of the water
table a cause for alarm? Part OF
this lowering is, no doubt, due to
the putting in of tiles and open
bitches. Part Is due t0the water
required by human beings and
animals. In certain districts
mines and factories require large
quantities of water. The lower
ing of the water table brought
about by these factors should not
cause alarm. But, after every
thing is taken into consideration
II must be realized that in the
main the lowering of the water
table is due to the cutting Of the
forests and tie cultivation Of the
lsoil. These two things together
cause water to run off the soil
rapidly into the streams, and the
! water table therefore sinks be-
cause the supply from above is
shut of. This should cause

Interest. =

A test case has been started in the
Missouri courts that will not only be
contested with great vigor. but will
also be watched by working 2eople
and employers with unusual interest.
Two non union carpenters named
Gates and Albred have brought suit
for $4,000 damages against 10 men,
bers of the Building Trades council
in Kansas City because they claim to
have been deprived of work.
This suit will bring up the ques-
ton as. to whether or not a non
unionist is entitled to damages be-
cause union men refuse to work with
them. It is understood that mum
Der Of employers who are antagon-
istic to organized labor are backing
the two carpenters who are seeking
damages.
On the other hand. the local unions
will assist the 10 men who are de-
PENDANTS. The case will undoubtedly
run the gamut of the courts.

MAYORALTY CONTEST WILL GO
TO HIGHEST COURT IN STATE

The contest of w. E. McEwen vs.
w. /. Prince for mayor of Duluth will
be carried to the Supreme court. This
was decided by Mr.. McEwen's law
yers at recent conference. They
feel that the issues in the case are of
sufficient importance to warrant a.
review by the highest court in the
state. .-- -. -
Attorneys Dacey and Whipple for
the contestant appeared before Judge
Cant this week and moved for an.
amendment. to his findings. Judge
Cant agreed thatuif the contentious
of, Mr.. McEwens were Hss correct he
would be elected mayor by plurality
of five votes. -. 49,. - :,
There were 65 ballots in dispute
upon which the voters placed marks
for more than one candidate for may
or in both the first and second col
umns. They also voted for more
than one candidate in the additional
choice" column which they were
privileged to- do. The marks the
first and second choice columns We're
not counted by the court, while the
marks IN the dOu1ClOHdl CAOAS0
column were counted. The voter
could make no mistake in this col
umn. IT.
A provision of the city charter de-
clares that IF ballot contains either
first or second chonce votes in excess
of the number of offices to be- filled,
no vote in the column showing such
excess shall be counted The theo-
ry of counsel for Mr.. McEwen is that
this provision should be given the
widest Interpretation by the courts
so that the intent of the voter shall
be fully carried out. They contend
that the provision above quoted inn
plies that the marks should: not be
counted in the first and second col
| umns, but it does not prevent them
being counted in the additional
! choice column when it is necessary
to count the votes in this column to
determine the result of the election.
To deny this. is to impair the pre-
ferential system of voting. If a
voter marks two first choice candi-
dates for mayor, two second choices
and two additional choices, while
his marks show lack of knowledge

SOCIALISTS AT THEIR OLD GAME,

the workingmen.
The proposition should be carried by large major

lists, that is if Judge by the attitude of one of
their papers, against it. They decry trade unions
declare their days of usefulness over, want them
progressve and do everything within their power
effort is made to make it possible for labor gain
strength, if it is not done according Socalisttc 20
ltcal doctrines, they strike at it with vengeance.
The trade union movement has long ago declined to
become the tail of the Socialists political kite We do
not propose to wait for the revolution to get more
bread and butter more leisure, industrial liberty
and more protection from government We want
what get now, and if not get all we want
will take what we get; keep and again start
the fight for And the only kind of progress ever
made by man was gotten in this way
The New Times, the Socialist paper, published in
Minneapolis speaking of the Socialist representative
Nes S. Hilman declares it not necessary "to get
him to vote for labor laws" And this is true. He did
not vote for every labor measure but he not alone
not necessary Ito get to vote for laws and
they fought just faithfully and as sincerely as Mr.
Hillman did. .-... = ..4z.
If the proposition submitted to the local unions is
carried the expenditure of the fund at elections will be
used to elect tried and true labor men, whether they be
