WINS. HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
 TAKES ONE, LOSES ONE.

The GlrIS Basket Ball team of the Williams High School played the girls of the Winslow High School last Friday night and went to Holbrook for a game Saturday night, retaEnin g to Williams Sunday.
 At Wins1ow the girls re ceived royal treatment at the hands of their hosts. They declare that if there was any thing more which the girls and teachers of that school could have done to make their stay a pleasant one, they can't think what that might have been.
 The game was a very close enc, altho Winslow managed to maintain small lead during both halves. At the end of the first, the score stood 8 to II in Winslow's favor. and as the final whistle blew, Winslow still lead by a score of IS to 16. The. girls declare that had the game lasted one minute longer they would have tied the game, as they had the ball going their way when time was called.
 This game was a very pleas ing contrast when compared with the game the Williams girls played at Winslow> last year. That fateful score was 60 to 4. It was one of the first games ever played by the Will Hams team. The score of the game this year shows wonder full improvement in the playing of the local team. The return game should be one of the sea sons best with Winslow going off with the small end of the score.
 At Holbrook
 The game at Holbrook was played in a Ford Garage. The game might possibly have been made 9 little rougher had HoI- brook done their very best to make it so. The game was not what might be called a scientific one, as the opponents seemed to have basket ball con- used with football. To be- gin with they hired MT. Britt If Winslow, who had refereed he Winslow game to Umpire" he Holbrook game. Mr. Britt was perfectly fair at Wins ow and he proved the same at much to the disap- 'ointment of some of the HoI- rock school. A very large ger cent of the scores were nade by Williams throwing rec baskets as the result of Ouls on Holbrook. The final core stood 33 to II in favor of Williams.
 Williams is proud of their lirl's Basket Ball Team for 1eir splendid playing, but even lore so for their fine spirit of air play, and the splendid ourtesy and hospitality which ley always extend visiting ,annS.
 Winslow may be equally roud of her team.

4eWHITE WAY' MEANS
 PROSPERITY FOR WINS.

The twenty-eight street lights which have turned night into day along Bill Williams Avenue are more than a mere lighting system. They are a symbol of progress that forecasts a period of unprecedented prosperity for Williams. They are but the first step in new period of progress. The public spirit and loyalty of the donors of these lights, has at last been welded together in Commer- cial Club that failed to die in the cradle.
 Ten months ago a proposal to raise over $2OOO by voluntary contributions to buy street lights for our little city would have seemed proposterous, to most of us. Yet we have the lights installed and paid for.
 The paving of Bill Williams avenue is now being considered and it will come.
 Better water is another of the needs of the town, which will also be realized in the near future.
 An unprecedented era of growth and properity will be sure to follow. First credit has been won by those who gave Williams her new lighting sys- tenn for Bill Williams avenue. A list of the doners appears below

SHALL THE CITY HAVE A WA
TER SUPPLY ADEQUATE
TO ITS NEEDS?

Voters should not overlook the
fact that an important municipal
bond election is set for Saturday,
April 10, the question at issue being
the authorizing of water bonds in
the sum of $4,000. While no OPP
position to the bonds has manifested
itself, it is possible that there are
tax payers in the city who might,
without due consideration, feel that
this step in municipal improvements
could be postponed. If there I any
who feel that way they viii do well
to inform themselves on the real sit
uation as to an adequate water sup
ply. The plain fact is that Wolf
Point has grown and spread so rap
idly that the present water supply
is far from sufficient. This is no re-
Election on the judgment of the city
administration that put in the plant.
At the time the tank and pumps
were put in place the present needs
of the city could not be foreseen.
Besides that, at the time the bonds
for the present system were voted,
the valuation of the property within
the city did not permit a large issue.
The deficiency of the present wa
ter system lies in its small pumping
and storage capacity; the mains and
laterals as far as they go are strictly
o. K, and will stand a pressure
much greater than that which viii
be put on them.
The source of water for the pro-
posed greater system will be a mat
ter for discussion. The relative mer-
its of wells and river supply will be
thoroughly gone into and an oppor-
for public discussion given.
For a growing city in a climate
such as this is, a suficiency of water
is of the utmost Importance. Rain
fall is often limited for a consider
able period in the summer time, and
gardens and trees suffer, if
there is no chance for irrigation.
There must be plenty of water for
domestic use. The streets must be
sprinkled. sewers flushed, and there

MULES, MEN AND MONEY

A mule isn't much to look at. He
has a jaw like a steam shovel and an
ear as long as a politicians. He has
a buzz-saw voice, a kick like a boil
shevik. When he makes up his mind,
it couldn't be changed with a wheel
barrow full of T. n. T. He is just
naturally as stubborn as a hungry
cannibal arguing with a mellow mis-
sionary. He carries around no false
notions and would not think of pranc-
ing down the boulevard as a steed
of style. He is hard working and
economical. When gas-drinking, air.

That in pursuance of an order of the
District Court of the County of

must be water in reserve 10 furnish
the best possible fire protection.
The present system IS not consider
ed dependable for fire protection by
underwriters. The difference in in
surance rates that could be brought
about by a fully adequate supply
and a system fully approved by in
surance men would mean a saving in
insurance premiums in twenty years
that would stack up very strong
against the cost Of the proposed i'm
provement.
While the details of the extension
and enlargement Of the system that
the city officials have in mind, in case
the bonds are voted, have not been
fully worked out, it is known that
the new storage tank would have a
capacity Of 100000 gallons. The
capacity of the present tank is co.
900 gallons. The present pressure
is about ~ lbs. per square inch.
With the new system it would be the
intention to have a pressure of about
rs pounds, which would result in far
better ire-fghting facilities.
