had enlisted for oversea service and
was anxious that her life be one of

seemed to be better and hopes wer
given, but pneumonia developed FRI
Gay, The disease had too strong a

CITY WATER NOW SATISFACTOR>
The question OF City water in
sufficient quantity, absolutely pure,
without the enormous expense of in
stalling a filtering plant is solved,
and the new system is now in oper-
alton. Mr.. Swanson, chairman of the
Water Works committee, has steadf-
ly been working out his plans in
which he has had mistaken faith,
and has brought about the desired
results, and has proven without
question of doubt that his judgement
was good. Several months ago Mr..
Swanson installed an electric plant
at the base OF the hill below the
reservoir by means of a well sunk
about 40 feet. This proved to be
success, but was insufficient in guam
tty TO supply the demands Of the
City. They now have the second unit
installed and in operation about 500
feet from the first well, which has
proven far more efficient in quantity.
Both Of the units are conn nected with
the water mains and can be operated
at the same time if necessary, but
1t is believed the last unit will fur
nish ample water fer years to come
and is as soft as the water from the
river. We can now bid farewell to
mud and filth in our water mains.
