SEWERAGE DISPOSAL.
Alpha Cannot Damp Its Sewerage Into
MastodoR Greek.

Mr.. Bascome, while looking over the
water question last week, gave his
attention also to the sewerage matter.
He will make a report upon the best
plan to pursue later on.
1t was the original intention 10
dump the sewerage into Mastodon
creek but the owners of the property
through which the creek flows object
ed and as there is state law against
such disposal the village is up against
a real proposition
The next best thing to dumping into
the creek is the erection of a septic
tank and the sterilizing OF the sewer
age after which II can be drained into
the lake without any hindrance. This
plan will probably be decided upon
and it is expected that Mr.. Bascome
will submit definite plans for tank

VILLAGE POLITICS QUIET.

The village election occurs two
weeks from Monday, on March 18th,
The ballot has been prepared by vii
lage Clerk Johnson and everything is
ready for tho affair.
There has as yet appeared no OPP
position to the men nominated at the
caucus and reported last week. Al
most every day rumor is put out
that this one or that one will run on
slips" but when tho rumors are traced
down they end in smoke. so 1t is pref
ty certain that the program will go
through as outlined last week.

WATER PROBLEM CONSIDERED.
Expert Thinks supply from Diamond
Drill Hole Ii Sufficient.

Mr.. Bascome, expert on water and
sewerage, from the Wisconsin Uni
yersity, visited Alpha last week and
looked over the ground with a view
TO advising the village board upon the
water supply question and upon the
sewerage problem.
The water supply has been very
difficult one TO solve and many sug-
gestions have been made as to secur-
ing a supply that will be at once ade-
duate and at the same time sanitary.
Ii was generally supposed that the
Mastodon Creek supply would be util-
lied. and II is for fire protection, but
the water from that source soon
proved to be unsanitary and a new
source of supply had TO be found.
Some springs to the north of town
were picked out but that source was
soon found to be unavailable. Then
Buck Lake was considered and quick
~ dropped because of the fact that the
sewerage Of the village Is drained into
! that basin.
The next proposition was the Bal
kan pit but this source was objected
to and It was finally decided to get an
expert here and act upon his sugges-
tions. Judging from the remarks
made by Mr. Bascome he was more
favorably impressed with the diamond
drill hole to the northeast of the vii
lage than with any other.
This hole is 5-inches in diameter
and about 500 feet deep. The flow
from the hole is continuous and 1t Ii
thought that by constructing a reser
voir a sufficient supply can be gather
ed for all purposes.
Mr. Bascome took samples OF thu
several sources mentioned and viii
have them carefully analysed an'
make report upon them later on.

The strength OF every art lies chiefly
In the completeness OF its detachment

by being realistic, picturesque, or dec

highest when Il Is ideal, detached and
superhuman. Painting does not gain
by being categorical, but Is greatest
when II seeks something beyond the
outward, physical view. The novel or
the essay depends for its greatness
on its power of relating real persons.

Second French Revolution.

The French revolution Of 1S48 is
sometimes called the second revolu-
ton, the first having been that of 1889,
resulting In the establishment of q re-
public which was followed by the EN-
pire under Napoleon /, and this in
turn by the restoration Of the Bourbon
dynasty. The revolution Of 1848 re-
suited In the abdication and Danish
ment Of King Louis Philippe, the
proclamation Of a republic, the cleo
ton Of Louis Napoleon as president,
and later the establishment Of the en-
pire with him as emperor under the
title Of Napoleon III. This resolution
was not accompanied by extensive
military operations, but there was
heavy fighting In Paris in which sew
eral thousand persons were killed.

the fishing game, as it requires more
skill and attention than the ordinary
run Of trolling.
Cut Out the Speed.
In trolling for musky pike or pick
erel rs to 100 feet of line Is plenty
to run out behind the boat. At this
distance the lure is far enough away
from the boat and the line is easier
handled in landing the fish. The boat
should make about two to three miles
an hour, which Is speed enough to
keep the spoon turning and at the same
time give the fish chance to see your
bait. Always troll with your rod
straight out behind the boat never out
the side at right angle; this is treat
ment any fishing rod would resent.
A mighty good thing for the rod is to
use steel rod shOrtener. which gives
you dandy trolling rod for about 90
cents. Just slip out the first Joint.
put the shortener in the grip. the sec
ond joint In the shOrtcner, and you run
no chances with your bait-casting rod.
One big point to remember in trolling
with spoon is the fact that a spoon
must be spinning around in order to
flash under water and attract the fish.
If you will keep your eye on the rod
tip occasionally you can easily tell
whether the spoon Is turning around
by the steady bObblng of the tip.
When 1t quits bobblng you'd better

GETTING the Rinht Order.

God loves to bring people out Of OBJ
security. He cannot do 1t when they
insist upon bringing themselves out.
To take the humblest place gives God
the best chance to say, "Come up high
err" A Christian, sending to the Sun
Day School Times on account Of per-
sonal experience. writes: "If you think
1t would be best to sign my full name
best for the cause, l mean-do not
hesitate to do 1t. have always In the
years past signed my full name to my
writings, but it matters so little, and
to be little matters so much, that
have no will but his will in that, as in
all things" She has things in their
right order. His will Is the only thing
that counts; and when we are doing
his will we are always "in first place."
