SUMMER DRESS GOODS.
We have made the greatest reductions in wash dress $J
goods that have ever been known in this city. It was gjg.
necessary to sell out everything in order to make room W
for fall goods. Cash is better than merchandise at Such &s&
a time. It would pay one to buy for next summer at .
the prices we quote. fl&

Th's may be duo in part to tho fact that

Tho general impression ono gets from

The Council and Ihe
City Water.
The people of Lincoln possess to a re
markable degree ono attributo of divin
ity; they are long suffering and slow to
wrath. " Fifteen years ago, more or Ies
the municipality entertained the project
of obtaining a supply of water for pub
lic and private use Uefore any method
or plan was adopted, Mr. Coat's of
Michigan, an hydraulic ecgineer of high
standinjrand r.ide experience was eci
p!ocd to visit the city and aft3r ex
amina in report upon tho matter of
a water supply and how and from what
Iws t on it could be best obtained. Af er
acquainting himself with lo.-al condi
tions, Mr. Coates recommended that a
well or wells be located in the Antelope
valley; In urgently advised against using
Salt Cre-k valley as a source of supply
because of the danger of obtaining salt
wate- This advice as to location was
disregarded and the P street well was
constructed. Originally it furnished a
h,ited supply of fresh water which
soon became impregnated with salt to
such an extent that tho water bcc.imo
until for domes'i use. An additional
Buiiiilvofsaltwatwwas then obtained
at great expense by puttiiuj down wells
in Salt Creek valley neir South strait.
Thee ldtter wells never furnished a pint
of water that was tit for domestic use.
Had a private company supplied the
people, for pay, with waterof the quality
pumped m'o the mains from hece wells
construe'ed ir Salt C.eekvaKcy it would
have been ruined with damage sui s. It
is a conservative estimato that a quarter
or a million dollars would not be suf
ficient to pay the damages which have
resulted to persons and property fiom
theuso of water supplied by the city
from these wells. One well was located
in the Antelope valley at the Rico sta
tion acd the quality of water is all that
cin 1)3 required. Experience has shown
that the advice given by Mr. Coa'cs was
well grounded. It has been demonstia
ted that the watr obtained from Salt
Creek valley is not tit for domestic use;
it, has never been demonstrated that an
adequate supply of pure water can not
be obtained in tho va'leyof theAntelopo
Heeen'ly another well has been locatd
about one mile above tho Rico station
it has been completed for several months
but has never been tttid. Tho water
question has been before the city coun
cil at two recent meetings of that body
and it may be safely asserted that action
similar to that which there obtained
would not have been tolerated by an
equal number of boys of the age of ten
years had they intended to accomplish
any result. The council has decided
that it will be proper for its members to
vitit other cities with a view to learning
something. This determination is a wise
one. It is not nnterial upon what 6ub
ject information is sought. Municipal
authorities who have caused a well to bo
dug for ths purpose of obtainicg water
anJ do not know enough to put down a
bucket or cause a pump t ba op3ratcd
acd a proper test of the quaniiy acd
quality of water, if sny, supplied by the
well, to be made, ought to travel acd
they should 6tart early. They can rot
go too far but as they indicate a purposo
tieocs'ruct moro wells in Sa't Creek
valley where it i known, wate. fit for
domestic use cin not bj obtained and
abandon without a test a well completed
at public cxpenso in a locution which
espewn're Las shown supplies tho be6t
qua i y of wuter, thy might return too
scon.
