MORE IMPROVEMENTS AT
CITY PUMPING STATION

At meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening, the officials pur-
chased a new, 100 horse power Giant
Oil Engine and two Chicago Pneu-
matte Tool Co., air compressers that
are to be installed at the city pump
ing station. Last October a SO horse
power engine was installed, temper
arily, so that the city would have a
sufficient water supply, but inasmuch
as more water will be needed from
year to year, the city thought it would
be economy to prepare for any fu-
ture emergency.
The discharge pipe in the well will
be increased so as to discharge $50
to 400 gallons of water per minute.
whereas, heretofore the discharge has
been only $50 gallons per minute.
One of the compressers will be in
stalled at once and the other one will
be put in later. When the installa-
ton of the new machinery has been
made the city will then have two
complete units which will conform
with the underwriters specifications.
1t will also be more economical for
the city as the water can be pumped
at cost of less than &c per thousand
WucfSd az tie pEtScHi tilile
the cost is SC per thousand gallons.
H. A. Daley, who came here from
Franklin. Pa. to install the new
engine, in company with A. M. Baker
of Chicago, met with the city council
to give that body all the information
necessary to determine their actions.
We understand that the installa-
ton of the new system will enable
Audubon to apply for lower rate of
insurance. This will be quite an item
to all property owners.
1t will also be necessary for the
city to erect new stand pipe on the
hill. The present stand pipe has
capacity of $4,000 gallons, and it re-
quires filling four times daily. In
order to supply the demand that will
be made for city water next year, the
capacity will at least have to be
doubled.

OUR STATE SENATOR
IN THE LINEIIGHT

Hon. John w. Foster, from the
Guthrie-Dallas-Audubon district, will
come back to the senate to take lead
'ership along with five or six other
strong men in that body, for he has
had the experience, has the ability
and above all has the personal like
ableness that so helps one in body
of that kind. 1t is generally known
that Mr.. Foster is without doubt the
best posted member of that body on
the road question. and he is not a
crank. He does not want to run a
big debt nor do any of the things that
were formerly imputed to the good
roads people. He merely wants to
take the money already raised
and spend it with some system and
with view to ultimately getting
something done in the state towards
better roads, and while it was made
a political issue in the last campaign
in many parts of the state, it will not
at all be political matter this win
ter. there are many more in favor of
just that very thing than was sup
posed wo,le be gicc.aito tho lsgisla
ture. Just as soon as the question
of good roads is entirely taken out of
politics then more like Senator Foster
who really have at heart the welfare
of the state and who really know
what is needed, are going to be given
a hearing by the people of this state
because they are in the right. Sena-
tor Foster will be a recognized leader
in that splendid body from the first
this winter and he will not in any
way disappoint his friends nor the
people of the state.--Pugh in Stuart
Herald.

State Fair Asks for New Buildings
The state agricultural society at its
annual meeting voted to ask the leg
islature to appropriate a fund suffi-
cient to construct a large cattle barn
to accommodate at least 1000 head of
cattle; to extend the horse barns so
as to do away with the wooden struc-
ture; to double the size of machinery
hall as originally planned so that there
will be room for an automobile ex-
hibit; to extend the amphitheatre
both eastward and westward. The
Legislature will be asked by state fair
association to provide for the mainte-
nance of the fair ground buildings, as
it does for all other state institutions
w. B. Barney, state dairy and food
commissioner, appeared before the
board to urge that a recommended
ton for a dairy building at the fair
grounds be included in the report to
the legislature.
w. L. Kuser, superintendent of the
industrial school at Eldora outlined
to the fair board the plan of the
board for an appropriation to erect
two permanent buildings to house the
exhibits of the sixteen state institu-
tions at the state fair. The board gave
the matter hearty Endorsement. 1t
was suggested that not less than
$4,000 will be needed to erect perma-
nent fireproof buildings suitable for
the state exhibit.

large tree. She struck the tree with
such force that her srm was broken,
but otherwise escaped injury. The
fracture was reduced by a physician,

without any further difficulty. The
injury was painful to Miss Sudie the
first few days, but is resting much
easier at this time. Sudie AYERS that
the next time she goes coasting she
will not try to grab tree for protec-
ton, but instead will stay on the sled
until 1t has spent its momentum.
