L. '. Parker Of the public health

engineer, made a report to the city
commission on the experiments they
have been conducting for the purifca-

They recommend an Imhoff septic
tank. A sample Of the sewage, after
it had passed thru the test, shows up
as clear as crystal. Our friends down

soon dipping up aqua pura right out
of the Murmuring Mouse as clear as

NON-RESIDENTS MUST HELP. {

} Never before has there been
) such concerted action in gopher (
destroying in Ward county as
) there is this spring. Poisoning
} is the most effective way of get (
; ting rid of the pests. 1t has been

) is accomplished from giving a
bounty on gophers. North Dako- (
ia paid out last year $4,000 in
gopher bounty in the various {
counties. Naturally this means
that many gophers were destro-
yed but they are such prolific (
breeders that those that were
killed were hardly missed. It
doesn't do a great deal of good
for one farmer to kill the goph-
ers on his farm when perhaps
just across the road there is
farm held by some speculator
who doesn't believe in investing
in dollars worth of gopher poi
son. The legislature very wise
ly passed a law to overcome this <
difficulty. Ten resident land hold
, ers of any township may petition
the township board to destroy
the gophers on all vacant land
and the work may be done at not
to exceed ten dollars a quarter
per annum. 1t is believed that
the work can be done we'll for six <
dollars a quarter and it is worth
this to any land holder. W. A.

has been touring the county with
Mr.. Yerrington, an official 60

with such excellent results that
