Stockmen as Well as Manu

. Loss' as the Supply
Decreases. ,
Omaha's artesian basin, which sup

THE CASH STORE
suburban districts not Connected with
the city mains, and stock water lor
the dairies and farms, west, north
4 west and north of the city, is failing
so rapidly that jt is causing .great
alarm. '
Residents living, on West Q and
West Leavenworth streets, and in the
rorthern outskirts of the city whose
properties are not attached to the
municipal water supply, and who
have been dependent upon well water
supplied from the artesian basin, finds
their wells dry and they have been
hauling water from distant points to
meet ordinary domestic needs.'
Dairymen and farmers who have to
have large supplies of stock water are
?lso confronUd with the problem of
coping with scant supply due to the
rirving up and failure of their old
veils, which have stood the test of
j ears and' in many instances some
have been compelled to sink their
wells from 200'to 400 feet deeper to
develop a new source of water supply,
r Wells Are FaUing. V
The artesian wells of the Harding
Cream company, the Booth Packing
company, the Young Men's Christian
association, the David Cole and Fair
mont Creameries, and of all of the old
1 breweries, which are now engaged in
making beverages, are failing to such
an extent there is talk of abandong
" them, or equipping them with expen
sive water lifting devices to stimulate
the flow. , '
Many industries in the city, such as
the creameries, cold storage and ar
tificial ice plants, beverage manufac
turers and similar , concerns are de
pendent upon water supplies oth.er
than that of the municipal plant. They
have to have a constant flow of water
of a temperature of 59 degrees or
lower fo'r the economical cooling of
products either: in the finished state
or in progress of manufacture, which
cannot be profitably coolcll by any
artificial process. - , ' v
Failure Causes Concern.
To them, the failure of the artesian
basin is a matter of reaP concern
and to develop problematical new
sources of supply will entail consid
erable exploration "and great ex
pense; ; . . .. - . . .
. One of the deepest artesian wells in
the city is that of the Booth Packing
company, which was sunk to a depth
of 1.700 feet. One of the best artesian
wells developed here was that of the
Harding Creamery company, which
was sunk to a depth, of 749 feet in
.1904. It developed a Aqw of 240 gal
- Ions of water per minute, the tem
perature of the water being 59 de
grees Fahrenheit.. This U one of the
wcllS that now seems threatened with
extinction. ;
The territory affected embraces all
of that district north of Vinton street
in the city of Omaha and north to the
Washington county line, and all of
tile district west of Omah'a, including
Benson. Douglas, Dundeef Millard,
McArdlc. Union, Jefferson and Flor
ence precincts. - w--.' ' '' ''
Tlrt loss, is already felt and that
which is threatened will run into sev
eral hundred thousand dollars, repre-J
renting capital now invested and the
necessity, of the expenditure ot large
sums of money to replace the wells
that have already been ruined by the
failing condition of the artesian basin.
fuel Men Take. Measures to
. .Relieve Coal Car Shortage
An urgent appeal to redouble ef
fort to relieve the coal car shortage,
was received from Fuel Administrator
11. A. fkrficld by John L. Kennedy,
fuel administrator for Nebraska.
Friday. ;:V - " ;-
Dr. Garfield asks the local fuel ad
ministration to take steps to have car.s
itnrniA nrnmAllv an that thev can
'be started back to the mines. Serious
difficulties in the delivery of an ade
'quate supply of coal -threaten unless
this is done, it is reported.
Nebraska dealers, the fuel adminis
tration declares., often permit cars to
remainon a siding when a dispute
, arises between them and the shipper
or the railroad. This fault must be
corrected, the Omaha fuel office an
nounces, and measures to, curb this
practice will be taken immediately.
