Last week a small centrifugal
pump was put in the we'll on the
McGillivray place at the north
west corner of the townsite and
C. L. Riley's engine hitched to
it, with the object of pumping
water to irrigate the trees set
out along the streets this spring
For several days this week the
we'll has been pumped all day at
the rate of about $50 gallons per
minute. The level of the water
in the we'll has not been affected
by this pumping, and doubtless
the we'll would furnish more
water than this amount. About
half the trees are thrifty and
growing beautifully. Probably
one fourth, or a little more, are
growing, but did not put out at
the top and have been cut off,
some near the ground and some
several feet above the ground.
About one-fourth have not put
forth leaves at all and are sup
posed to be dead. The dead and
those that were cut off are
classed as diseased. Some of
them may-probably will-over-
come their handicap and make
good trees.
