with the awful folly of pumps. Evil
IDENTIFY our friends are not posted"
or else they think their readers are
foolish Any engineer familiar with
such matters would tell them that
this is the simplest part of the propo-
sition. There will be three pumps,
one for the New Lithia, one for the
Dodge well and one for the Cunning
ham, The combined power of the
three Will not exceed six horsepower.
The power cost for current will be a
mere bagatelle. The pumps will be
centrifugal and when set going will
not need even to be visited more than
once or twice a month. The city's
electrical engineer will look after
them and there will be no need of
adding one cent to his salary there
for. AS to the pipe line After it is
once laid down properly nothing but
an accident need be reasonably appre-
hended for lifetime.
The BerkeIy spring will come in
by gravity-no pumping will be
needed.
The eighth paragraph needs but a
touch. This refers to the springs in
Ashland They are all sulphur and
are privately owned, and being in the
city or below it, those having charge
of sanitation would not permit their
use except for bathing purposes, so
they were out of the question even
if the owners were willing to part
with them; besides, if they were to
be used elsewhere than at their
natural outlet, pumping would be re-
quired.
AS to the revenue the owners or
the city has derived from them is an
idle question. Nobody knows nor
cares and it has no bearing on the
mineral springs proposition.
The two natatoriums will be a
very valuable adjunct to the city's
great scheme and will doubtless be
great beneficiaries of the new and
prosperous times to be inaugurated.
In the fifth paragraph of the fire
alarm the silly idea is advanced that
when these waters are pumped into
Ashland they cease to be spring wa
ters. When Mr.. Silver was bottling
water for the market at his lthia
spring he pumped it into his bottling
establishment and into his bottles.
Did it cease to be lithia water or
spring water? Mr.. Wagner does
the same at Soda Springs, Mr.. Cole at
Colestin, and every other spring in
the world where mineral water is
prepared for the market. The alarm
ist says: From the fact that the
waters are pumped into the city you
are estopped," etc. Shippers of min
eral waters are not "estopped" from
calling their waters Spring waters
and advertising them as such. "
though they pump them into their
bottling works and into the bottles
and ship them thousands of miles. 1t
makes no difference whether your
pipe from your spring is a hundred
feet or hundred miles long, If there
is an estoppel you are under the ban
of it before you get the cork in your
bottle. am told that the waters OF
the Waukesha Springs in Wisconsin
were piped 10 miles into Chicago at
the worlds fair and are still running
there. Let us thank God for his great
blessing and put it to use, and stop
kicking. c. B. WATSON.
