kcOta Commercial Club has been
working on plans for installing . water
system that will be adequate for fire

spirited meeting last Thursday evening
decided to employ the N. J. O'Fallon
Machinery Company. Of Denver. to
make preliminary survey, test out the
Gamble we'll. which has been proposed
for use. and to furnish specifications
and an estimate Of cost Of . system
that would include the laying Of six-inch
steel mains. erection Of . Is foot steel
tower. with IS. 0O0-gallon steel stor-
age tank. and installation Of . 30-horsc
power oil engine and pump. Mr.. Kit

pic ut the meeting stated that he would
guarantee the cost Of such system not
to exceed $l4. 900: and the thought Vas
advanced that the saving to property

one whom you wish 70 remember on

Cretonne with small patterns is the
most desirable for small articles. and
patterns with dark backgrounds are
preferable for articles such as the

METHOD IN THEIR MOVEMENT
Veteran Of the PLANE Explained Why
euffaIoes Invariably Travelled on
Zio-Zag Course.


No person ever saw q herd Of buf.
falo move In straight line. They al
ways took a zig-zag course. The late
Buffalo" Jones explained this as fol-
lows: "A buffalo is a very cautious
animal. His shaggy forehead prevents
him seeing objects on either side. To
prevent surprise from an enemy he
walks obliquely to the right and then
to the left, and thus gets an unob-
structed view Of the surrounding coun.
try"
The buffalo had many small traits
that are lacking in cattle. The buffalo
never mired In swamps or pools al
cattle do. When they found they were
becoming stuck they threw themselves
on their sides and swan or padded
through the mud as hog does. They
always had guards out day and night,
to warn the herd of approaching dan
ger. They always faced a storm and
never "drifted." as do cattle. They
lay down with their heads to the
flercest storms, tossing their heads
around on their sides and sleeping
contentedly, while the great mass OF
fur on their humps protected them
from the winds.
