 One was placed on Second street the forepart of this week and one is now going down opposite the bank corner.
 For years past when leak oc- cured it became necessary to dig down to the valve, make the re- pairs, then cover it up again. In the winter time, especially, this work was particularly arduous, but the new work consists of good sized excavations, lined with concrete and covered with the reg u1ation IS inch iron cover. In the future when a valve is to repair ed it can be done almost instan- taneous, entirely eliminating de- lays of any kind.
 When completed the system will probably be the most modern of water systems in the entire Ter ritory and on par with those seen in any large city.

HORTA, Azores, August 20
Having passed the Azores flying
from Lisbon, Portugal, two young
Swiss aviatorS today were near
the North American coast, if all
went we'll.
Oscar Kaesar and Kurt LueScher
passed over the village of Praia
Victoria Island of Terceira, about
IS miles from Horta, at l pm
Eastern standard time, yesterday
and continued in northward di-
rection, apparently heading for
the northeastern Atlantic sea-
board. There was no indication Of
any trouble.
The plane, known as the jung
schweizerland or Young Switzer-
land, took off from Juncal; near
Lisbon, at 1870 am, Eastern
standard time, intending to pass
. over here en- route to Halifax and
New York.
NTiIa Cnaad Indicated
The aviators covered the less than
1000 miles between here and Lisbon in
III, hours, indicating speed of ap-
proximately 80 miles an hour, cpnsid-
erably less than los miles per hour OF
which their pure white Farman mono
plane, with its 230-horsepower motor Is
capable.
After passing Terceira Island the
flyers faced trip of about 2,400 miles
to New York and of about 1850 miles
to Cape Race, the eastern tip of New
foundland. the first land on their
course. They hope to reach Halifax,
Nova Scotia, $50 miles further, before
stopping to refuel.
If the flyers negotiated the westward
crossing and maintained their speed OF
80 mile an hour they should have
reached the vicinity of Cape Race, New
foundland. by am, Eastern standard
time, and HALIFAX, Nova ScOCla, SIX
hours later. 1t would take six hours
more for their plane to fly from Hall
fax to New York.
Good Weather to Azores.
Although the aviators had good
weather from Lisbon to the Azores fog
end westerly winds faced them from
here to the American coast, with a
dense fog and a moderately heavy rain.
The westward crossing being attempt
ed by the two aviators has been made
successfully but once, by the German
Irish trio, Baron Won Huenefeld, Capt.
Herman Koehl and Maj James Fitz-
maurice, in the airplane Bremen, from
Baldonnel>, Field, Ireland, to Greenley
Island, off the Labrador coast.
The two flyers are the most youthful
yet to attempt such an ambitious flight
project, Kaesar being but % and
Luescher 81. They have had less than
