NEED IS FOR MORE WATER Superior in a Quandary Over Meth of Securing Enough of the Liquid for AlL SUPERIOR, Neb., March 30.—(Special.)— Buperior has lately been in a quandry over its water supply. The system of water works in this city has been in about twelve years. twénty-five-foot walled well and forced into the mains by the direct pressure system. Last spring the water in the well began to faill. The supply has continually been growing shorter until a month ago the council decided that seme actlon was needed at once. An expert was called here from Lincoln and a leal was almost closed with bim to bofe numerous small wells, connect them with the pumping and guarantee the city sn additional watér supply of 200,000 gallons a day at & cost of $1,750. Complaint was made by local parties that no chance wae given for bids. Thereyponm the deal was suspended and bids were ad- vertised for. These were opened at the council meeting Friday night. A local firm offered t~ dig a twenty-five-foot well forty feet deep, with a one-foot brick wall, for $2,600. This was rejected as impracticable, The Lincoln expert withdrew hfs offer, find- iog that land on which to bore his wells could not be obtained. The council then considered an ordinance which calls for meters, to be placed on all hydrants, in stores, hotels, baths, etc., and upon all taps used for lawn sprinkling purposes. It is the bellet of some of the council that enough water ts wasted undef the blanket rate now in force to supply the city. The ordinance was passed to its second réading. Practi- cally everyone in town uees city water and, there being no wells to speak of, the water question is of vital importance. DEMAND TAXES AT FULL RATE Holdérs of Claims Aga © st Cheyenne mty Objeet to One-Third Value Assessment. SIDNEY, Neb., March 30.—(Special.)— Obertelder & Co., by their attorneys, filed & petition in the district court asking for a peremptory writ of mandamus compell- ing ! the seventeen vrecinct assessors to assess real estate and personal property in their precincts at the full value fixed by them at their annual meeting, instead of at the usual one-third value. Distriet Judge Grimes was in the city and ordered that a hearing on the petition be held April , and that the assessors be notified to that effect. * The vetitlon sets forth that Oberfelder | & Co. are the assignees and owners of 15 clalms agafust Chevenne county for serv- fces renderod as county officlals, jurors, witnesses, otc.. for the years 1894, 1895 and 1596, aggregating about $4,500. The peti- tion alleges that these claims were not allowed by the commissioners for the reason that there were no funds or levies upon which warrants #could be drawn in payment thereof. and they have refused to elther allow or disallow said claims, wh'ch have been on file tdr the last five years or more. The total assessed valuation of county property in 1901 was $1,493,794, and if as- sessed at the regular one-third valuaticn will, not exceed $1,400,000 in 1902. The peti- tion states that if Yt does not exceed that amount the commissioners will be unable 1o levy taxes for paying off outstanding in- debtedness, for the reason that they cannot legally levy more than 15 mills for general county purpose FIRST SERVICE IN FOUR YEARS olfe Chureh at Te- ms Again After a Bitter Con: TECUMSEH, N.b March 30.—(Special Telegram.)—8t.

PAUL, March 30.—Transcontinental traffic by the northern routes continues to be blockaded. The Northern Pacific’s efforts to transfer passengers across the lake formed by the overflowing of the sloughs near McKenzle, N. D., have proven futile and but little hope is held out for a re- sumption of business in the near future. Reports from the Great Northern are to the effect that thelr transcontinental trains, | which have heretofore been able to get | through with only a slight delay, are now {held up by floods in the western portion of North Dakota. Just where the trouble is has not been |definitely learned, but telegraphic reports say that the Mouse river Is out of its banks at Minot, on that line, and numerous bridges have beon swept away. The Red river is also at floodtide at Grand Forks, N. D, but so far as reported little damage has been dome there. Situation Extremely Serio The situation of the Northern Pacific is extremely serious. Reports from McKenzie are to the effect that a lake thirty miles long and two miles wide has formed and the tracks are sixteen feet under water, or perhaps entirely washed out. Bfforts to transfer passengers across this lake have not been successful. The wind has been so high and tb- vater the attempt to transfer passengers in small skiffs. A gasoline launch was put into service yesterday, but even this larger craft was found inadequate. It is thought that an entirely new track will have to be bullt around this gap in the road befape traffic can once more be carried on. Passengers eastbound have been held at Bismarck and no westbound coast trains have been started from St. Paul. A train reached here this morning bearing a num- ber of passengers who had been. success- fully ferried across the lake at McKenzie and they report the situation there ex- tremely bad. Fear a Food Fam As no freight can be moved westward, there is some fear that a famine in food stuffs may result in Blsmarck and Its vicinity. Some of the Northern Pacific business has been transferred to the Bur- lington at Billings, Mont., and in that way it is hoped to open an avenue of communi- cation with the north coast citles. The most optimistic of the raliroad officials are inclined to believe that it will be at ieast ten days before through traffic can be re- established by the regular route. A dispatch from Blsmarck, N. D., re- ceived late tonight says that railroad oM- clals there hope to have a train through some time tonight. Passengers, mall and baggage were today conveyed by wagon to a meck of the temporary lake and there ferried across with a gasoline launch. It was slow work in the teeth of a cold wind that blew snow and sleet in the faces of the passengers, but many were willing to brave the discomforts of the elements in order to end the tedium of walting.. Ties, rails, etc., are being rushed to the lake and ® temporary track will be constructed with much speed as possible., An immense amount of freight is mce cumulating at both ends of the washout and unless this is quickly moved a great loss will be entailed on the railroad com- pany in addltion to that occasioned by the delay in traffic. NORTH DAKOTA TRACK A LAKE Northern Pacific Will Have to Provide Miles of New Roadbed Before 1t Can Operate. JAMESTOWN, N. D., March 30.—The situation at Sterling. on the Northern Pa- eifie, is unchanged and will 8o remain until the railroad company bullds a new track around this suddenly formed lake. There were no passengers transferred across the lake today because of the danger attend ng the work. It is estimated that three miles of track and a 600-foot bridge must be built before trains can run again. Held Up by Flooa. GRAND FORKS. N, D..

This tax is graded and amounts to $50 per $1,000,000 on the 260,000,000 of preferred stock which the Steel corporation purposes converting into bonds. The corporation will not be obliged to pay any tax on the bond issue and the state, therefore, will lose this money.
