However, the sand which underlies this.city is the best filterer thaf could possibly be devised. 5 Betnidji' has a good gystem of mains and laterals in~ the city. It should be extended. The pumping equipment of the city’s water -has for yedrs been one of the most costly departments: of the entire city. The pumps’ are located in the electric power plant and ‘are under the super- vision of the city, with employes of the ‘electric’ company looking after them, in addition to their ‘own’ duties. For some time firi,or to last spring the pumping system' was ‘in’ wrétclied condition. The pumps deteriorated becaiie ‘tipped from’ their base, out of line, and one of the pumps was uséless for its purpose: The being out of line caused ‘a’ breakiinia shaft ‘that cost the city over $80. Estimates were figured as to what it would Vi ¢ost to sink new points and overhaul’thie plant and put it in proper con-f 4. dfll!dn; and it:cost Bemidji about $1,3 50 to fix up the plant that had been slldwea to go. to pleces practically. . R i 7 . Mhere isn't an adeéquate supply of water at present. Nor is there likely to'be. 'Fact is; the’plant is absolutely inadequate for Bemidji and is go- ing'to be more inadequate. ' - k .. The Normal school is a certainty. It means a large ‘structure built by: the state of Minnesota and it also means that the state. will demand ‘Plenty ‘of water. : iy ; The coming of the'new Normal means that two large’ ‘apartment houses are to be erected near the normal site by outside capital. They will also’hiive’ to be’ fully supplied: with water. 1t will also'mean’ the eréction of many more homes: near the normal gfoupds for the:accommodation of students, and the state normal auth- orfties’ expect that fully: 300 students will be here the first year. hat | wilt-zlso mean a heavy. tax on the water supply. . The ‘park board of the city will, in the plan of beautification for Be- midji; make another;demand on the water supply for the keeping of lawng as they should be kept. With the beautification of the Normal school - grounds, with ‘its lawns.and gardens, a still greater demand will be'made. 5 L The wells that Bemidji has used in the past are obsolete. They are & guess at any time'and the ‘present plant is uncertain. 5 Another thing, without proper water protection it means heavy in- 5 surance rates for the entire: city. . Bemidji' has the' mains and laterals of tire present system and’ what 18 needed urgently is a plant and a source to supply every need and what is in store for ‘Bemidji. It has been stated that within the next five years Bemidji will hagve doubled in population. g 1 N Think: this over'and ‘do‘so carefully. 6 3 - = FARMERS’ & TRAPPERS; ATTENTION £ THE RIGHT IDEA We are buying Hides, Furs, Wool= > | TELEPHONE 3-W~ > KERSON, Manager [ ~ PALACE LIVERY 3 — TO'THE'PUBLIC — ‘ Glood teams'and sleighs, careful drivers who know the roads: - We are prepared to furmish first class rigs day. or night, with or without drivers, on'short notice.

News) Doc Garfield saved 3,456,000 tons of coal by his shut-down order but at & loss to employer and employe of $289.85 a ton. Rather expensive ; coal that! And‘the ghastly joke of it .all Is that the whole trouble was . caused by Garfield’s asinine advice of last summer to ‘“‘wait until after Oétoler first for cheaper ‘coal.” Coal may be cheap at $289.35 a- ton but thére are a few folks out this way who simply can’t see it. Mexifco hés placed a tax of $8 a head on- persons leaving that country for the. United States. If Carranza,!
