67 Tfii nri DBE-KE PUBLIC F0KD 00. BKPUBUOAS, Established 1886 J wnona.iea iw. DODGE CITY, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MAY 12,1910. Thirty-Third Year, XXXV, No. 33. WELL JESTED CLEAR, PURE SOFT WATER " IN ABUNDANCE FLOWS FROM FIRST CITY WELL FLOW INEXHAUSTIBLE Test of 25.000 Gallons Per Minute Does Not Lower the Test Well Put Down ' '' ' The first cltf well was completed Saturda and tested, and was the oene of a delighted gathering of cit izens daring a good part of the day. , The water is splendid. The sap 'ply seems to be unlimited. , Dodge City with the new plant will bare an unlimited supply of pore, soft water. From the sample of the teat well it may be expected that this town will become famous for its ex " cellent city water. It would take a long search to find anything equal ling it in the way of hydrant water. ' A centrifugal pump was used in " making the test The pump thiew orer four hundred gallons per ' minute, and the test was made at this rate for eight hours without lowering the water in the well. v It is the purpose of the con noil to have five or six of these wells put down, and it is believed that this number ".will be equal to any test that will ever be made on the water supply. The campaign started in Dodge City two years ago for soft water seems to be ended. It was practical ly ended as soon as started so far as the decision arrived at was concern ed. Whether a franchise was given to the old company, or the operation of the plant by the city as has now been determined upon, it was prac tically settled at the start that the Wells must be deep enough for pu-e soft water. The test well completed Saturday is down In the course gravel, and is only 142 feet deep. The members of the council consider that this water will be one of the greatest improve ments for the town that has been made in years. There is every reason to believe that if such wells had beea put down by the Water Company several years ago that the city would have granted a new franchise and that the present etep toward city ownership would not have been taken for years perhaps. Six wells like the first test well will furnish 160,000 gallons of water per hour. WELLS WAIVES HEARING.

If" c DC DC n I Dodge City's Largest and Leading Clothing Gtoro -TO MASONIC EVENT Visitors From Various Towns Attended Ma sonio Bsnquet Here Monday Night The Masons .held an important meeting here on Monday night Mr. Chandler, the State Architect, who is a prominent Mason and one of the Grand Lodge officers was a visitor in town and it had been arranged in ad vance to have him in charge of Sec ond degree work at the Monday night meeting. Invitations had been sent oat to various surrounding towns, and in the entertainment line a banquet was prepared. There were visitors present from Garden City, Cimarron, Fowler, Meade, Spearville and Jetmore. The evening dosed at a late hoar with the banquet, which was attended bv about ISO. Ber. A. M. Eeus served as toast master. On the Sixteenth of May, there will be a meeting of the officers, and the Executive and Publicity com mittee of the New Santa Fe Trail or ganisation. At that time it is ex pected that representatives from the various counties along the line will be here. Our commercial clnb will doubt less have its Reception committee out on the morning of the sixteenth to welcome the visitors to the Best Town in Kansas. While the visitors are here it is desired to show them over the Soldier's Home road, which is to be pat in fine shape between Dodge City and Ft Dodge by the state. Also they should be shown the Eureka Canal where the force is working at present north of the col lege. One question to be taken np by the Trail organization, is the placing of some kind of inexpensive markers along the route, and this is - at pres ent in the hands of a committee, to report on at the meeting here. . There is said to be a movement on to take Colorado into this organiza tion, and the Globe Bepublioan hopes that this movement will not get very far. Colorado will build her end of the road alright, but let us .concen trate this movement on the roads of Western Kansas, and let ns retain the name New Santa Fe Trail within this territory, and make it some thing which will continue to give ns good advertising. If we build a road through Kansas If we build a road through Kan sas to the Colorado line, so that our people may make a quick trip to Col orado when they . go out to spend their summer vacation and their money, we ; need have no fear about i, Colorado building roads to all places of interest within the state. Colorado people are there 'or the purpose of looking after the tourists. So we need not eoncera ourselves about Colorado. What we need to do here is to concentrate oar energies on building the New Santa Fe Trail, from Hutchinson to the Colorado line, as' first advocated by the Hutchinson News, and generally boosted bj the newspapers and live citizens In all of the counties and towns from Hutch inson to Ooolidge. It is still a big undertaking, as big as ws can get through wiin. we talked muoh in the starting of this movement about it being a big ad vertisement for Western Kanaas. The first endurance run made over the trail, from which we expected to get eomefpretty good advertising was used mainly in advertising Colorado, and everybody in any way connected with the run knows that this is true. We can hurrah for the Colorado fel lows when they build good roads, and we will, but let as keep the New Santa Fe Trail Movement within the state. When the New Santa Fe Trail is mentioned we want it to re fer to Western Kansas directly. What is needed now along the New Santa Fe Trail is to finish the work started, and finish it right. Good roads may then be attached to it from the east end to the Atlantic, and from the weat aa far as possible, but the New Santo Fe Trail should at ways remain t division of our great highways that refers directly to West era Kansas.
