Canning Sugar
Cut Sharply

Due to q decrease In Cuban su-
gar production and other causes,
the sugar supply has been seriouly
curtailed. For that reason the To-
cal War Price and Rationing board
has been given instructions for q
further cut in allotments for home
canning. The ration will be based
on Is pounds per person instead Of
20 pounds as previously planned.
A family of eight can receive q
maximum Of 120 pounds instead
Of 100 pounds. No board may
grant for home canning for the
1915 season, more than 20 per cent
of the total amount allotted from
February a to December 8, 1914.
The change In the rule became
effective May I, according to In
structions received from Max Nc
cullough, deputy administrator for
rationing.

Tests On New
Well Promise
Ample Supply
No Connection Evident
Between Two Wells;
New Pump Coming

Tests carried on this week by
the Pacific Power and Light Com
pany on their new well revealed
the probability that the company
will be able to provide an ample
supply of water without recourse
to the river source. The new well,
which is designated as well No. 1,
was producing 584 gallons a min
ute and is down to a depth of 525
feet. A temporary pump was
used for the test.
A new pump has been ordered
which is larger than the one now
in use on well No. 2 and it is
believed that the two wells will
produce more than 1000 gallons
a minute. Well No. 2 has been
producing more than half that
amount.
Well No. l was abandoned in
favor of the second well some
time ago when a drill was broken
while drilling. However, the well
diggers repaired the damage and
completed the well.
The tests were made early this
week under supervision Of Eldon
Foreman, company engineer. He
established the fact that in all
probability there is no connection
between the two wells. This was
done with the use of dyes injected
in well No. 2 which did not show
up in the other well. Further
proof is shown in that the tenn
perature of water in the new well
is five degrees cooler than in the
one now in use. The former is
"a degrees and the latter is SO
degrees.
Roy Skill, local company ex-
ecutive, stated that the company
is highly pleased with the tests
and while they are not entirely
conclusive they showed that the
two wells will very probably pro-
duce an ample supply Of water for
the city's needs without using
river water.
Tests had not yet been COM
pleted as to the purity Of the
water but it is believed that no
chlorination will be required. The
water is perfectly clear Of any
foreign matter and is seven per-
cent softer than river water.
The wells are located in low
spot in the east end of town.
Water is pumped into the water
system and forced upward to the
reservoir. When there is SUI.
ficient water coming into the sys-
tenn from the wells there is none
coming from the reservoir.
