Judge Mcpherson Issues an Order
Setting Next Friday for Fort
Madison Hearing
His Court.
TO PASS ON INJUNCTION
Judae Hamilton at Request Of City's
Attorneys Has Ordered Special
Session OF District
Court.

Judge Smith Mcpherson will hold 6
special session of federal court here
next week, and he has made an order
setting June 25 as the date for the
hearing of the Fort Madison water
companys case. The case was trans
& ferred to the federal court Wednesday
by Attorney Stewart for the company
An order was secured from Judge Nc
Pherson at Red Oak, setting the date.
Yesterday at Fort Madison Judge
Hamilton issued an order for spe-
cial term 4of court to be hello there
con,menci Jnne 80. The regular
term closes there Saturday and but
for the special term order, no action
could be secured after that until Sep
TENDER.
Commenting on the federal court
order from Judge Mcpherson. the
Gem City says:
The water case, which is holding
such prominence in Fort Madison and
vicinity, received a decided impetus
today when Judge MCPHERSON, federal
judge at Red Oak, enjoined the city
that hearing OF the temporary in
junction would be held before HIM
self at Keokuk on the 26th OF this
month, which falls on a week from
Friday.
The water company filed an answer
and the court entered order for spe
cial term OF court.
The news that the hearing will be
held the 26th of the month gives the
water company ample time to. go
ahead and do everything within its
power to give the city the best pos
sible water supply. The case will pro-
coed as fast as if it had been tried be-
fore Judge Hamilton and writ of
mandamus granted.
The injunction holds off the action
of the court long enough to give the,
company a chance to place orders for
machinery and thus secure pure wa
ter. If the case Is kept in the federal
court it may mean quicker action than
If tried in the state court as the term
Of the federal court does not end I'M
til in October while the state court
term ends Saturday.
The action taken in lifting the in
take pipes on the part of the company |
today would seem to indicate that
they had begun to realize the import !
ance of the matter and the city's |
earnestness in the affair and Intended !
righting conditions. Certainly it |
should relieve matters considerable |
until new machinery can be installed |
and permanent water supply suffi. /
cient to meet the demands can be |
had.
The Fort Madison Democrat con-
tains the following concerning the or
der for a special term:
The action of the company in Sc
curing this last delay was anticipated !
1t was expected that every effort |
would be made to delay the case past |
the last day of the present term
next Saturday-after which no trial |
of the question could be had until |

TIMBER USED IN MINES.
About One.fourth Timber Cut In Colo
RADIO conspmed by Mining.

Denver.-Approxima one-fourth
Of the timber cut in Colorado is con-
sumed by the states mining industry,
says the Department Of Agriculture
In a bulletin issued on Rocky Noun
tain mine timbers. The total annual
consumption Of timber Of Colorado for
mining purposes is about 81 100000
board feet. valued At something like
$1.250,oOO.
Lodgepole pine, or white pine as It
Is sometimes called locally, is the tim
ber most used. with Engelmann or
white spruce next. Douglas fir. the
socalled red spruce OF the Rocky
Mountain region. was once the favor
ite wood for mines, but its growing
scarcity has brought the two other
woods into prominence.
Fire-killed lodgepole pine and Engle-
mann spruce, of which there is great
quantity In the Rocky Mountains,
ought to give satisfactory service in
mines. says the department, provided
1t is free from decay. Beams cut from
timber standing dead for about thirty
years showed strength. when tested
by the department, intermediate he
tween that Of gren and Of air-dried
material cut from live timber. Drying
increases the strength and stiffness Of
the wood, but decreases its toughness.
Attention is called by the depart.
ment to the possibility Of using pre-
servative treatments to prevent decay
of timber when set In the mines. As
q general rule such treatment, II
properly applied, will work for econ
omy in the long run.

Rain Records.

Records of winters in the past bring
to light some accounts of excessive
rains, for In 1909 a gauge kept at Mon
umental, in California, registered 1884
inches. Only at Glenora, Ore, with a
rtcord of 1920 for a single year, has
this rainfall record been exceeded in
records for the United States. The
heaviest rainfall for a single moun1
ever recorded in the United States was
at Helen Mine, Cal. in January, 1900.
when T1.54 inches fell. Campo has the
record for the heaviest downpour ever
recorded in California for single day.
This was eleven and a half inches on
Aug. II, 1891, and all of this fell with
in eighty minutes. This is far below
