twenty eight strokes per minute and
capacity Of 800 gallons per minute.
The diameter Of the new pump is ten
inches while that Of the present pump
in the old we'll, which is the same kind,
is but six inches. The council has full
confidence that there will be an am
pie supply of water afforded by the
new well TO keep this pump busy. The
pump will cost better than $4,000. in

and all necessary fixtures. but ex-

The company promises immediate
shipment of the pump and it Is hoped
that it will be here within a few
weeks and in the meantime the con-
crete foundation will be placed as soon
as the drilling concern has removed its
tower and other apparatus. The ma
chinery will be set so that the new
pump can be driven temporarily at
least by the same motor which oper-
ates the pump over the old we'll. It
is possible that ali will be in working
order by the first Of the month. but 1t
is probable that il will be some time
later before all is well with the water
situation in Nevada.

FORT DODGE FOLKS TO BENEFIT
BY GETTING ELECTRIC WAY
TO WEBSTER CITY.
RIGHT. OF WAY BRUSHY TO

Road Takes Forward Step - Six
Towns Taken in by New Route Ac-
auired-Prosperous Communities to

Fort Dodge, July ls.-The Fort

pleted transaction that gives the road
new entrance into Fort Dodge.
The right Of way purchased is from
Brushy to Evanston. At the present
time options are held on the right of
way from Evanston to Fort Dodge, but
no purchase of deeds has been made.
When the road is constructed it will
mean that Webster City and Lehigh
will both be on an electric line into the
city.
The purchase of the Crooked Creek
railroad by the interurban company
some time ago started the transaction
just completed. Interurban officials
have been planning on electrifying this
line and then continuing the line into
Fort Dodge. Two rights-of-w have
been considered in she project. Fort

ing hard for the Brushy to Evanston
route as this brings Webster City in
more direct connection with Fort
Dodge.
Towns to Be Linked Up.
The route for which the deeds have
been purchased goes over the Crooked
creek to Brushy and then to Evanston.
The towns taken in are Webster City,
Flugstad. Border Plains. Brushy and
Evanston and Lehigh. The option on
the right of way from Evanston to Fort
Dodge closely follows the line of the
Great Western to Lehigh.
The old Crooked creek road from
Brushy to Lehigh would also be cleo
trlfied. Connection to the line from
Webster City to Fort DodS would be
made at Brushy. The territory in the
vicinity OF Lehigh abounds in big CLAW
and brick manufacturing plants and
would mean 4 big freight business for
the lnterurban. This business would
be covered if the interurban took the
other possible route into Fort Dodge by
joining the main line at Lundgren. The
passenger business brought into Fort
Dodge by the other line, however, will
be big and IS distinct benefit to the
city. This territory now is covered by
the Illinois Central. With the two hour
schedule OF the interurban shopping IA
cilities for Webster City residents and
those along the line will be decidedly
bettered.
