mr PLENTY WATER ALL WINTER SAYS JOHN CAULFIELD Danger of Famine Removed by Installation of Pump—River Lowest in History The happy smiles on the faces of young boys in Bismarck will now disappear. Likewise the worried housewives’ countenances. The joy on the one hand and the sorrow on the other have been occa- sioned by the possibility of insuffi- cient water snupply due to the low stage of the river. But although Bismarck, in common with the rest of these United States, is dry—that is supposedly—as far a- alcoholic beverages iare concerned, it will not Ye dry as far as water is concerned, if the water Company can prevent it. Missouri Is Low.. Due to the drought in Montana, the Missouri, river is practically on its last legs, if a river can be bequeathed limbs. But whatever it is that the stream runs on, the fact remains that it is running pretty poorly for this time of the year. In fact the water is lower now than it has been for any time in July for many years. Last year the water showed ‘better than s! feet on the guage, but it is now hard- ly recording one foot. In order that low water would not endanggr the city’s water supply, the water company is installing a cen- trifigul pump on the Yanks of the ri er and have constructed a pipe line from this pump to the storage well, a distance of 250 feet. This will en- able the company to pump water into looks on —— Se We, the undersigned merchants, agree to open our store at 9 A. M. and close at 6 P. cluding Saturday. A. W. LUCAS CO. WEBB BROS.
