. A SPECTACULAR WRECK
Car of Gasoline, DeraiIed, Catches
Fire Near Stanley

A spectacular and costly wreck
took place on the 500 Line mile
and a half east of Stanley at Z: 45
o'clock Sunday evening.
A tank car filled with gasoline and
contained in an extra west bound
freight train was derailed, supposed
ly because of a broken brake BEAM
and it's contents became ignited by
sparks thrown off when metal parts
came violently into contact. The
gasoline, about 1000 gallons in ALL
was consumed, the sky being bright
ly Illuminated by the blaze. A car

The Pickle Factory

The question of whether a pickle
station and probably a factory also
will be established at Ladysmith this
year will be decided in the near flu
| ture, for the actual work of ascer-
tanning how much acreage can be
secured will be taken up probably
next week. Cucumbers are a very
paying crop and farmers should en-
courage the project Locating such a
factory here will create local mar
ket for one more product of the soil
and makes them just that much
more independent.
For the farmer who wants to
raise a crop that will bring consid-
erable money in return, but has only
raising cucumbers and the crop is
one that takes almost nothing from
the land Cucumbers are nearly all
water and the more water you can
sell in any business the more mon
ey you make. The pickle crop en-
ableS the grower to get ready mon
ey before other crops are in, which
is also a great advantage.
The seed costs practically nothing.
The company will furnish the seed
and take their pay out of the first
lot of cucumbers you bring in. With
in a few weeks after planting, the
crop commences to earn revenue.
The D. j. Wittig Co., who propose
to establish this industry here, pay
the farmer for the cucumbers when
ever they want the money. You do
not have to wait until late in the
fall
With reasonable care and atten-
ton, pickles yield from $75 to $3.50
an acre 5000 an acre is by no means
an exceptional yield.

year

GET PURE WATER
OLD CITY WELL CAN NOW sup
PLY PURE WATER, ALTHOUGH
PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH
sTAND-PIPE BEING ERECTED
Tower Will Be a Landmark For,
Many Miles Around

When the old city Well was orig
irally put down good water was
struck, but the trouble was that all
the veins that were encountered were
tapped indiscriminately, including
veins that were undesirable as we'll
as the good, the result being that the
water was unfit for use.
The city commissioners have been
conducting experiments to see if the
veins of water that was not pure or
contained mineral matter that rem
d-red it unfit for use could not be
shut off from access to the we'll leav-
ing only the pure water and in this
they have been successful The
well now gives the best of water,
W, are reliably informed, and the
only question is whether it will sup
ply sufficient quantity for the city's
needs. 1t will probably be necessary
to put down another well, but it is
now thought that the old we'll will
be utilized anyway.
Tower Being Erected
The DcsMoines Bridge e Iron Co.
started a crew of seven at work here
Monday morning, under foreman
Carl Heyfort, on the erection of the
city water tower. The tower will be
up by the latter part of this week, but
it is merely being bolted together
now and as soon as the tower is up
and the bottom of the tank bolted in
to place, the whole structure will be
trued up and then riveted. The bolts
are only put in temporarily.
1t is quite an interesting sight to
watch the nimble-footed crew at work
on this job, and as the tower gets
hi cher the work seems all the more
hazardous, but the men run around
on the narrow beams connecting the
corners as though they were running
around on terra firma The work is
hazardous, even more 50 than the
erection of bridge, but the men are
accustomed to it and their familiar
ity breeds contempt of the danger
This tower and the tank that will
cap it will become a landmark of the
city and for many miles away. From
it's top a splendid view will unfold. to
those who will take the trouble to
reach it.
