CITY WATER PRESSURE LESS
FROM SOME UNKNOWN CAUSE

From some unknown cause the
CITY water pressure in the north
part of the city is greatly diminish
ed and with the booster pump In
operation the difficulty is not rem
edied. The city officials have found
all the mains to be solid after a
test, and they are puzzled as to- the
defect. The stand pipe was examined
today and this did not aid them IN
locating the trouble as everything
was working all right. If the condl-
ton continues the water may have
to be shut off from the skating pond
in order to conserve all possible
pressure.

BUILDS 2-PASSENGER MOTOR
SLED FROM A MOTORCYCLE

Harry Cox has made a motor
sled, using his motorcycle as the
motive power, which is noticed more
for it's uniqueness than for its
speed. A sled attachment with three
runners, one of them rugged with a
steering wheel and capable of being
guided, has been fastened to the
front fork of the cycle after remov-
ing the wheel, and leaving the rest
of the machine intact. The person
riding in the sled does the guiding
and the one on the motorcycle acts
as the engineer. The motor sled was
seen on the streets yesterday after
noon. 1t can not travel faster than
eight miles an hour. 3t

son of Saline county stated that the
officials were gathering bits of evil
dence daily in the case Of the shoot

A UNIQUE WATER SYSTEM.

Vancouver, B. c., has a unique
water supply system. The city stands
on a peninsula between two arms OF
the sea and it is necessary to bring
the city water from miles away In
land. through submarine pipes.
Laying q new water main is an en-
rineering feat. The tides In the In
let's that isolate Vancouver are high
and strong, and the billy lull between
high and low tide lasts less than half
an hour. The channels that the pipes
must cross are about seventy-1Ve feet
deep. The pipe-lengths are jointed
and calked on the back, and drawn In
10 place by a special tractor. Water
at q high pressure Is forced into the
new main, and a diver goes down
with an electric light to look for
leaks.
Vancouver is probably the only city
n the world that needs an expert
municipal diver. After the 1S-inch
mains have been in place for twenty
or twenty-five years the ~incessant
securing of the tide-driven sands
wears them thin as paper. Hence 9
regular underwater inspection Is nee
1t would be possible to lay
the pipes in trenches on the sea-bot-
tom. thus avoiding much of the
securing action of the tide, but this
IL not done because it would make

option Of parole instead OF q sentence

better advantage than can any private

The board Of parole keeps two
parole agents whose principal duty 1t
is TO visit the paroled men. help them
find employment, assist them II any
