WORK IN PROGRESS
REPAIRING LEAK
WATERWoRkS COMPANY TAKING
HOLD RAPIDLY IN STOPPING
OF BREAK IN DAM.

Work is progressing at very salts
factory rate toward the repairing of
the break in the Golfer dam in the Des
Moines river. The building of this
Golfer dam which is preliminary
piece of construction for the rebuild
ing of the west dam proper was taken
over by the Ottumwa waterworks from
the Ottumwa Supply Reconstruction
Co., during the first part of this week,
the latter company having had charge
of the work since it's beginning during
the early part of the past summer un-
til this time.
Since taking over the construction
the waterworks has made rapid pro-
gress toward the stopping of the leak
that was made in the Golfer dam early
last Monday morning when thirty-two
feet went out. On Sunday there was
a portion Of the construction work
which was thought to have given away
a little during Saturday night, but by
Monday morning or during the night
hours OF Sunday it had become under
mined to such an extent that it was
carried out completely. One bent
measuring eight feet in width was TAX
en- by the river waters and it carried
with it three others making gap of
about thirtytwo feet to be refilled.
The waterworks trustees state that
these recent difficulties in the con-
struction work will, in no way, affect
the water supply for the city. They
state that conditions are no worse
just at this time than is the usual
thing about this time Of the year.
While the water is low, steam is being
used for pumping, but not to any
great extent than is the usual thing at
this time of the season. Every effort
is being made by the trustees toward
completely repairing the break in the
Golfer dam as soon as possible this fall
and the matter Of going on with the
construction of the dam proper will,
according to one Of the trustees, ad-
just itself later.

PRESCOTT "BEARs' WIN
 FROM WILLIAMS
Williams Team Defeated by a Score of 13 to 2 in First Game of Season.

Last Sunday Prescott administer ed sound drubbing to the Will jams team in the game played at Prescott. This was the first game of the season for the Williams boys but not the first for the Prescott team. The home team was mt in good trim, but gave promise of the making of good team with good training.
 Prescott was strong at the bat and in the box. Clark, pitcher for Prescott, struck out fifteen men during the game. Cy Young struck out five for Williams. The home boys showed up weak at the bat, for want of practice. Except for two inningsin which Prescott made nine runs, the game was quite even in spite of the home boys lack of preparation.
