ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY
FOR CITY WATERWORKS
Report of Civil Engineer Arnold In
dicates Problem of System of
Waterworks is Solved

At meeting of the council held
Monday evening for the purpose of
Civil Engineer R. Arnold, of Great
Falls, Mont. submitting his reported
to the council showed the result of his
research for a, suitable+ eupply Of
water for system of waterworks
and sewerage for Langdon. Several
wells in the immediate vicinity of
Langdon, eight in all, had been given
through test and the report of the
analysis made at the state university
showed that water such as the city
needed and with sufficient flow was to
be found at the we'll lately excavated
to depth of about thirty feet on prop
erty adjoining H. E. Dorvars home
on the Dorval hill in the extreme wes-
tern portion of the city and less than
mile from the business center of:
the town. The we'll is nearly eigh-
teen feet across and has vein Of
water that runs in as fast as it can
be pumped out with a power pump.
Its test as to purity, as shown by
the statea analysis, is of unusually
high standard and the council believes
that when the city is ready to take
up and go ahead with the question of
system of waterworks that they
have the water needed. The only
step the council is taking for the pre-
sent is to brick up the we'll, erect
pump house and install power pump.
1t is hoped that the waterwor ks
question will receive the sanction of
our people and become one of the
public improvements of Lagdon in the
coming year. Its need should be evil
dent to every property holder.

Evangelist Finds Germans Loyal.

Editor Nirc.nian:
Sir For fifteen years have trav-
eled Virginia and other Southern
states as an evangelist. I have met
within and outside OF the Protestant
churches many people of German
birth and descent. Almost without
exception they are among the Most
reliable and useful citizens. I cannot
say more for them than to say that
to my mind they are making the
exact sort of citizens the past three
years and the past three months that
Nirginians would make in Germany
under the same circumstances.
They have been dignified and silent
under suspicion. They have rerrained
from insincere enthusiasm at the pros
pect OF their birthplace or their
fathers birthplace being over
whelmed.
When the time comes they will
fight for the United States just as
some Nirginians fought north of the
Mason and Dixon line during the Civil
war. but If they were worth killing
they would not throw their hats very
high as they shot down their brother,
believe In the average German :
grit and loyalty just as much as | do
IN some of the American "shouters''
who are raising tho prices of every
thing except collins
Just 125 out Of Ave million Ger
mans in this-cqHftry have been ar
rested since We declared war and one
half of that number have been thrown
out OF court. Put down all of them
that you know on a paper and check
of those that YOU shave any reason to
doubt except in the way they spell
their name and YOU will be surprised
at II maybe.
