An unusual interest in latest meth

farmers long distances and there
was standing room only in the thea

here by speakers who accompanied
the Milwaukee special train which
has been covering this section urg-
ing the Importance Of corn and al

Several films of educational pic

held at Bowman and other main line

And while he works, Max sings -
the way he did i'm opera with Caruso

Sasanoff likes to sing. He likes to

Now it appears Sasanof's artistic
ability may win for him pardon

In trying for t..e pardon, they
point out the many canvases he has

A drizzling rain which began here

ports here.
The 500 line reported that it rain
ed over the entire Missouri river dl-

the north. The rain began at a lat

up to 7 n. m., the rain extending
that far east, while Dickinson to
the west had no ram at that hour.
The weather bureaus prediction
is for showers probably tonight and
Wednesday, with cooler weather
"Wednesday.
= While the amount of rainfall to-
day was not great, it had amounted
to about 10 inches at 1880 o'clock
this morning. The fact that it was
slow rain accompanied by cool,
cloudy weather, with prospect of
showers later, combined to make it
of immense advantage to this sec
ton of the state.
One farmer living north of Bald
win, known as one who puts his
crops in we'll, was quoted yesterday
as saying that rain this week
would give him n good wheat crop,
and reports generally indicate that
crops had not begun to suffer much
from lack Of moisture, especially II
nut in we'll, and that the last of
this week would be the critical
stage. Corn, which already was in
good shape, will be much improved,
and potatoes, too, had not suffered
any, according to reliable farmers.

"a hours up to Z a. m. today showed
rain as follows: Bismarck .05; Ell

lacking from Dunn Center, Fossen-
den, Bowbells and Bottineau, while
other points reported no moisture
1t was either cloudy or rainy at

that the pressure is low over the

Path of Water From River to
Consumer Under New Sys-
tenn Is Explained

Work of stalking out the location OF
the filtration plant building, which
is to be the first new addition TO the
city water works when it comes "h-
der municipal control, was started 10
day by City Engineer T. r. Atkinson
and assistants. The ground has been
cleared and machinery which the CON
tractor. Woodrich Construction Com
pany, will use in the erection OF the
plant is here. Edward O'Brlen Is IN
charge of the construction Tor the
contractor.
The filtration plant is to be locat-
ed near the river, about halfway pc
tween the Northern Pacific bridge
and the new North Dakota Liberty
Memorial bridge, and east OF the
Northern Pacific spur track. 1t VIII
be. engineers say, safe from high
waters, and will be close to the pres
ent water plant pumping station:
The capacity of the filter plant
will be such that the output OF the
water works can be increased from
about 1,25O,O0O gallons to normally
2,250OOO gallons day, and this latter
! figure can be increased 20 percent,
according to the contractor who Will
install the filter beds.
Course Altered
The course through which water
passes before it reaches the consum-
er will be altered considerably when
, the additions are made. The water
will be drawn from the Missouri
river into a mixing chamber for NIX
| inc with lime and alum. Then it will
90 into a sedimentation basin. II
will move very slowly through this
basin--so slowly that it will take
about eight hours for water to move
through the mixing chamber, which
will hold 100000 gallons of water
In this process, it is expected, mucf
of the sediment found in raw river
water will be deposited in the bot
tom of the mixing chamber anC
from there removed.
The water then will move into the
filter beds. A filter bed is abou
| six feet thick, designed to that waite
will pass through it slowly. Rock:
an inch and half to two inches
thick are on the bottom of the filteI
ibed, and smaller rocks placed on tol
and the whole is covered with bee
of sand. The water moving through
this bed of sand is stripped of re
naming sediment and as a rule prac
tjcally all impurities.
There will be three filter beds
each with capacity of 100000 gal
! Ions of water every "a hours, or ;
total capacity of 2,250,O00 gallons O
water a day.
May Be Treated
The water passes from the filte
beds into "clear we'll" from whicl
it is pumped into the reservoirs OF
| top of the hill. The "clear well
will hold about 100000 gallons o
water.
The water will be tested after !!
leaves the "clear we'll" The chemica
tests show need of additional pufifl
cation chlorine gas will be used
Engineers believe that most of tn
time this addition will be unneces
sary.
The present reservoirs of the waite
fcompany will be used by the city
One of the first proposals in addi
= tion to the system after the wate

tion of a 16-inch main into the hear
