what About the Water supply?

What About the Water Supply?
The severe drouth of this sum-
mer has brought the water sup
ply of Colfax into serious promi-
hence. If it were not for the
condensed water furnished by
Big Pine Lumber Co. the town
would now be suffering a water
famine of the gravest conse-
quences, and the probability is
that after another season this
supply from Big Pine will not be
available.
In this contingency we learn
that Mr.. j. H. McNeely has pro-
posed to give the Colfax authori-
ties free access to the deep well
located on the cotton oil mill site.
This well we understand is 200
feet deep, and the water in it
comes to within twenty feet of
top. from whence it can be pump
ed in almost limitless supply. It
was formerly pumped into an
elevated tank in a steady flow of
Is gallons a minute, 900 gallons
an hour, or 81, 600 gallons in "a
hours.
If this daily supply of twenty
thousand gallons of water was
run through mains in two or three
Of the principle streets of the
town, so it could be tapped and
piped into the various stores and
residences. for watering stock,
washing, scrubbing and bathing
purposes, the town would never
be short of water, as the cisterns
would then furnish an ample
supply of drinking water and for
cooking.
The water from the we'll is as
clear as crystal. and it is fine for
stock, but is just a little too
brackish for regular drinking
purposes by people. Hard water
soap has to be used with it for
washing and bathing purposes.
1t is estimated that only a few
hundred dollars will be necessary
to utilize the water in this we'll,
and the town authorities have
been asked to look into the mat
ter with the view of taking i'm
mediate action. AS this is a
matter in which every interest
and household is vitality concern
ed we hope it will meet with
prompt and favorable considera-
ton. A small toll for the use of
the water would soon reimburse
the town for all outlay, and it is
an economic arrangement that
may hereafter be supplemented
by a permanent and more salts
factory supply of potable water.

PARIS. Sept. q (by maiD.-The
Prince Sixte de Bourbon, descend
ant of the erstwhile royal house Of
France, brother-in-law OF the EN-
peror Of Austria and officer OF the
Belgian army. thinks Americans are
"epatant."
The prince, who some time ago
received that now famous letter
from the head of the house of Haps-
burg regarding possible peace
terms in connection with the Alsac-
Lorraine question. has nothing but
praise for Americans. He is a great
admirer Of Pres't Wilson; he ap-
terms in connection with the Alsace-
plauds the effort America is making
TO fight the war 10 a victorious con-
lighting qualities which they have
so ably demonstrated.
In a talk with Father w A Hem
mick, OF Washington. d. g.. who is
now in France as an officer in the
American Red Cross, the prince
paid a glowing tribute to the United
States With Father Hemmick he
went to school in Austria, where
they became intimately acquainted
Although Prince Sixte has spent
much OF his time in Paris and de
spite his lllustrious origin, his name
was one unknown TO many French
before Premier Clemenceau made
public the letter which he had re-
ceived from Emperor Charles.
He first came 10 Paris TO live In

The prince Immediately began a
course in the Ecole de Droit and
the Ecole de Science Politiques.
Then in 1910 he began a series Of
tours TO TripOl. Egypt. the SOudan.
Mesopotamia and Syria.
In 1914 the prince was in Austria
and when the war broke out he had
only one thought-to return to
France and serve the country over
which his ancestors had reigned for
so long But here he encountered
obstacles; his sister. Zita, having
married the heir 10 the Hapsburg
crown and one OF his half brothers.

himself as private soldier to the
English army This request did not
meet with approval. But through
the queen he and his brother were
permitted to serve as stretcher
bearers in the Belgian army. In
November the two brothers were
able TO discard the Red Cross insig-
MIA for the crl led cannons and the
star when they were given commits
sions as second lieutenants in the
Belgian artillery.
At the end of 1917 they were pro-
noted 10 first lieutenants. And
there in the mud of Flanders with
their guns, a little room in what
was once a prosperous little grocery
store, they called their home. Two
army cots, three chairs and a rough
hewn bile were Their furniture.
And they were content.
IT have never seen more demo-
cratic men," said Father Hemmick.
Everything about them is simpli-
city. They are loved by the men IN
their command and respected by
Belgian officials.
When I was on the Belgian front
I dined with them and Braon de
Broqueviile, former Prime Minister
of Belgium and King Albert.
They are keen on everything
America is doing They are greatly
interested in the country and after
the war Prince SiXte intends TO tour
America.
In his little room not far from
his battery I chatted with Prince
Sixte for some time. We recalled
old school days in Austria where
was sent by my father who was then
American counsel az Geneva.
AS we were talking il grew dark.
The prince went TO a little cupboard
and drew out two candles, the only
lighting facilities OF which his bill
let boasted. They were strange sur
roundings for a royal prince. But
he was satisfied; enthused over ev-
erything the allies were doing 70
win the war and holding every con-
ndence i'm the world that IL will be
won by the champions Of demOc-
racy."
The prince wears the French
Croix de Guerre. 1t was awarded
him for his brave work in the glori-
Gus mud Of Flanders by PRIEST Poin-
caire in the month of April. 1915.
But while the winning OF the
French war medal brought him
pleasure, he tells his friends that
one of the greatest joys OF his life
was the authorization from the
French general staff to spend sew
eral days OF his leave on the French
front With his brother he visited
various parts OF the front and was
often in great danger. But he said
he enjoyed II and considered it ar
honor 10 be privileged 10 view the
work Of the French soldier.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26-Anxiety of shorts that new restrictions on trad ing were contemplated brought sharp bulges today in the corn market. Prices closed strong, BIS to 57s net higher, with December 1253s and January 1.26 to 1.26A. Oats gained 1 to IFS and provisions finished un- changed to 50 cents up.
 Uneasiness on the part of shorts in corn resulted chiefly from semi official investigation of the question whether short selling of corn might not advantageously be banned as already the case with cotton. Scru- tiny on this line was construed in some quarters as a threat of drastic measures against speculative shorts. A series of flurries to cover resulted, and although sharp reactions inter- vened, the market closed at virtually the top level of the day.
 Oats were firmer with corn. Rural offerings to arrive were light, and re- ceipts smaller than generally had been looked for.
 Provisions averaged higher owing to the upturns in corn.
