DRILL FOR ARTEsIAN WELL
Water Wanted For Refrigeration Al
Metropolitan Hotel

Probably the first time in many
years that an artesian well has been
drilled on Market street, is what is
occurring now in front of the Metro
politan hotel, at Fourth and Market
streets.
The water is wanted for the new
refrigeration plant which was recently
remodeled. 1t has been found that in
using city water from the reservoir
the temperature varies at different
seasons Of the year, while in using
artesian well water the temperature
would be about fifty degrees the year
around. The drill work is being done
by Kohl Brothers, of Palmyra.

than any other, but simply because
humanity is so constituted that it
does do SO. and that is the PROPOSE
ton that st. Paul, just across the

trade from Minneapolis because of
that fact. But many of those who
are in position to know hold that
Minneapolis will soon be dry wheth.

If Minneapolis goes dry it will be
a greater thing for the prohibition

state. A large city is the center of

saloon has flourished-and has con-
tinued to be the nesting place for

case the two are approaching from
opposite directions the same ap-
plies AS rule, it is easier for a
horse.drawn carriage to get out Of
the ordinary country road than it is
for the automobile. But, be that as
it may, ordinary courtesy demands
that both drivers of automobiles and
Of horse-drawn carriages show due
consideration of the plight of the
other. Such courtesy will make
driving much more pleasant for all
concerned and may often save mis-
haps and possibly law suits. AS the
automobile approaches more nearly
the universal mode Of transporta-
ton. there is less cause for com

instance, both travellers have some
