With I a Grande people using
approximately 2, (100, out) gallons of
water dally, tlie local water sys
tem has been undergoing Its hard
est test during the last three weeks,,
and has emerged with flying col

matter of frrct, the system has sup- :
plied the 111, with 2, GOO, 000 gal
lons of pure water each 24 hours
and at the same time, could have
f urn tailed at least 11(10,000 gal

The- test of time, the severest
known, has demonstrated that the
Leaver creek supply and the water
pumncil from the two city artesian'
wells are more than adequate to
furnish the demand even during
