HOT WATER
In BENCH WELL
Mcconnell Brothers Strike Vein at
134 Feet on Ranch.

That the Emmett country possesses
an abundance of hot water that can
be used for heating, commercial and
medicinal purposes has again been
demonstrated The Index has from
time to time made mention of the
hot springs on Squaw creek, of the
hot spring near Pickett Corral hill
and the hot well on the Roup home
stead south of Freezeout hill.
Now well of hot water has been
struck on the Mcconnell brothers
ranch on the bench. The flow was
struck yesterday at a depth of 134
feet in a we'll that was being dug.
The flow is so strong that the well
now contains so feet of water-hot
water. Another we'll previously dug
on the same ranch also contains hot
water. AS the McConnells are seek
ing cold water, both wells have been
abandoned and another well will be
dug in another location.
So much interest has been aroused
by these hot water discoveries that
a company will be formed to develop
the supply with the object of putting
this valuable asset of this section to
beneficial use.

to discuss her peace proposals and
referring to the starvation blockades

ENCOURAGE
HOME BUILDING
Commercial Club Take Steps to AS
sist House Building Campaign.

A special meeting of the CONNER
cial Club was held Monday evening
with the object of lending all aid
and encouragement possible to those
intending to build new houses. The
meeting developed the fact that there
were two distinct classes of people
who desired to build: Those who had
funds of their own, and those who
owned land, but not sufficient funds
to carry out their desires.
After considerable discussion a COM
mittee of six was appointed to handle
both classes The committees duties
will be to form a pool of those who
have funds, for collective buying, and
to learn the needs of those who re-
uuire financial assistance and arrange
for loans. Those who belong in either
of these classes are requested to con-
fer with the committee, which is COM
posed of ]. L. Reynolds, R. N. Cum
mings, George Burkhard, R. E. Rose,
Louis Larson and Cartee Wood.
Already a representative of re-
putable building and loan association
is in the city to arrange for making
loans. There is also talk of organic
ing local building and loan associa-
tion.
The matter will be considered
further at the regular meeting of the
club to be held Tuesday evening.

Coal Situation Improved.

The receipt of six or seven carload:

tanning 27 tons Friday. This was
distributed to 157 different families

That our war in Europe will make
more tuberculosis at home because of
the rigors and dangers of army life,
is certain from the experience of Eng

This means that no one can afford to
let the campaign against tuberculosis
in the United States suffer.
This war on tuberculosis is support
ed by the sale of Red Cross Christmas
Seals and every seal that is bought
is bullet in winning the war. For
the sake of your family, yourself, your
neighbors and the millions who. are
sick, buy Red Cross Seals to help to
extend this war against tuberculosis.
If you have not had an opportunity
to buy seals send your remittance to
The Kansas Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, Cen
trail Bank building, Topeka, Kansas,
and seal for each cent of the re-
mittance will be sent you and the
money will aid in the war on the white
plague.
