Editor Jasper News.
Dear Sir: Through your kind
ness | take this method of inform
ing my many Jasper friends that |
have finished my long journey and
am at home again feeling much re-
freshed in mind if not in body, as
| don't feel quite rested from my
excessive travel yet. After leaving
Jasper stopped over at Carthage
a couple of days, then crossed over
to Arma, Kans.. couple of days
then to Kansas City, and took the
Main Santa Fe line which took me
to San Bernardino, CAL, and from
there over the Loup line to Rialto.
the home of the object of my
journey, my son George, whom
most of you know.
To say that had a pleasant
visit does not express my delightful
experience with the beauties and
wonders of the Golden State.
Otherwise my trip was uneventful
with one exception. On going
over the mountains We experienced
an auto collision and came near
being thrown from the mountain
side. I was the only one hurt.
My hand and arm was bruised
some, but not seriously. 1t was
indeed a narrow escape from in
slant death, so we considered our
selves quite lucky that we escaped
as we'll as we did. We passed
many guardsman on the way guard
ing bridges and tunnels. Having
concluded my stay on the golden
shore l took the Santa Fe over to
Daggett and from there over the
Salt Lake where l waited four
hours in beautiful Salt Lake City,
the home of the Mormon Church.
My next route was over the Union
Pacific to Butte, Mont. where l
transferred for Great Falls, to the
Great Northern Railroad, which
put me on the home run for Balm
vile, thence to the Plentywood
I1ine which landed me at Froid, my
home town, and felt glad and
very thankful to be permitted
once more to mingle with friends
and loved ones again.
With kindest regards and best
wishes to all, I remain,
Mrs. W. A, Wheeler.

Tho Weekly Health Letter

The State Public Health Labor
atories will make free examination
of your well water. Water samp-
les must be sent i'm the containers
supplied by the Board. The per-
son requesting the examination
pays the expressage on the contain
ers. Application for analyses
should be made direct to Director
Public Health Laboratories, UNI.
versity, North Dakota.
The necessity of protecting wells
absolutely against any chance of
pollution from surface drainage
or initiation of water just below
the surface of the ground is we'll
known principle of sanitary
science. However, the hazy ideas
that are prevalent as to the ways
and means of etfecting this prot
ection have led the water to make
the following notes OF construc-
ton of wells.
The curb of the we'll should b.
twelve to fourteen inches above the
surface of the ground. At the sur
face of the ground there should be
a platform of concrete or stone,
sloping away from the walls of the
well. The edge of this platform
should be at least four feet from
the walls. The walls themselves
should be so constructed that no
water can pass thru them without
having percolated thru at least
eight to twelve feet of soil, depend
ing upon the character of the soil.
The top of the well should be COW
cred with a water-tight cover Of
wood, concrete or stone. If wool
is used nothing should be consi-
dered but shiplap or toungc-and-
groove lumber.
Bored, drilled or driven wells
usually have a shallow pit to pro-
tect the pumping apparatus from
frost. These should be construct
cd and protected with as much care
as the dug we'll. Drainage enter
ing this pit. either by the direct
route of falling thru the cover or
percolating thru a few inches OF
soil, is cumulative and will follow
The path of least resistance down
the casing and in time grossly poi
lutte the water below.
Old wells can be remo<lclcd by
raising the curb and digging out
the dirt on the outside of the wells
and then plastering the walls with
cement plaster--two parts sand
and one part of cement. The well
should then be encased with clay
puddle or concrete. The final steil
would be a platform on the surface
of the ground sloping away from
the we'll.
BY carefully following these di.
rections and locating the we'll at
least 100 feet from privy or ces.
spool, there need be little danger
Of having contaminated we'll un.
less the ground water itsIf is poi.
luted by larger sources than privy
or cesspool. Or, again the privy OF
cesspool may be in the same water
level that furnishes the we'll with
water. In this case the we'll should
be abandOnded at once.
The time to fix your we'll is be-
