Water Works


The Mass meeting Of taxpayers
Saturday night discussed the
matter Of developing the Water
Supply OF Roy and a straw vote
showed 10 of those present in
favor Of going ahead with the
bonds and s were opposed to
loing anything at this time
preferring to wait till the war
is over and we can see where
to liast hefQre making tie leap.
The matter Of investigating and
developing the shallow water
supply known to be in town,
going out in the country and
pumping it in from another
shallow vein or drilling down
thru the Dakota Sandstone to
water thousand feet below is
an open question. The advise of
all experts from a distance being
of cours in the interst Of the
largest expenditure of money.
A growing sentiment in favor
of digging to the water strata
shown by the shallow wells and
depending on sufficient supply
for present needs is noticeable
and many believe it is water we
want and not a big gamble.
The matter of locating al
County Road from Roy to the
new Red River Bridge was re-
ferred to a committee consisting
If George Ray w. H. Wilcox
and R. G. Grunig to map out the
pest route and get up a petition
o present the County Board at
is July meeting.

New Auto Road
To Cimarron via French
All on Section Lines

S. E. Pelphrey of French
supplies US with a map showing
a proposed road from Cimarron
which follows section line from
the Ponil river bridge through
French and direct to Chico on
the same section line. This road
meets with no physical difficult
ties and a bridge across Red
River at French would be the
only expense on it.
From this road he finds that
to turn south three miles East of
Chico for s miles then one
west and Fourteen south will
make an ideal road into Roy with
no expense whatever as it is
already section-line roads and he
urges that this be made part of
the State Highway system and
connect with the proposed
Tueumcari and Red River roads.
1t looks good on the map and is
entirely practical.

A Soldiers Conclusion

Il have been quietly observing
and listening and trying to learn
at first hand the real inwardness
of this war. Having lived in
Germany and known many Ger
mans | could never bring myself
to hate the whole people nor to
believe all unworthy of regard. |
think am now gradually learn
ing the truth. There are two
classes of Germans the Prussians
who rule and dominate and the
other Germans who are dominat-
ed. The Prussians ambition
brought on the war and they are
a continuous menace to the world
| have come really to hate the
Prussians and to wish that they
could be annihilated. The other
Germans will make good world
citizens when freed from the
Prussian domination. / have no
doubt that the Prussians intend
to rule the world. 1t seems tome
our only hope is their extermi-
nation"
