UNDERGROUND WATER
The United States Geological
Survey has just issued Water
Supply Paper 256, "Geology and
Underground Waters of South
ern Minnesota,',' by C. G. Hall,
0. E. Member, and M, L. Fuller.
The region described in the re
port includes approximately the
southern two-fifths of the , State
of Minnesota and has an area of
28, 2G5 square miles. Aside from
the cities of Minneapolis and St.
Paul, this is essentially an agri
cultural region.
The purpose of the investiga
tion, which was conducted in
cooperation with the Minnesota
State Board of Health, was to
determine to the fullest practica
ble extent the principal facts in
regard to the undergroundwaters
-their quantity, head, mineral
quality, sanitary conditions, and
depths beneath the surface-as
well as the best methods of
drilling to them and finishing
wells for their utilization, and to
consider all other questions re
lating to their recovery for hu
man use.
A question in which nearly all
communities are interested, says
the report, is whether flowing
wells can be obtained by drilling
to considerable depth. Much
optimism prevails in regard to
this subject. Many town have
at one time or another borne-the
loss of expensive drilling at
places where there was no real
prospect of obtaining flows, and
others are likely to suffer in the
same way unless they are proper
ly informed. It is by no means
necessary that every, village or
city should drill a deep well in
order to learn whether flows can
be obtained. Evn whew there
at -a ipects fo- flowing
tfce question .of head is
impo.rta.nt If the wa.ter rises
higher from the deeper than
from the shallower beds, it is
important that the community
should know it. The informa
tion obtained as the result of the
investigation gives ample data
for determining definitely for
most communities whether or
not there is any prospect of ob
taining flowing wells. These
datas are given in the report for
each county separately, so that
the well driller may determine
with some degree of accuracy to
what depth he must go to obtain
water.
DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY
CONTAMINATED.
The investigation developed
the fact that the domestic water
supply for most of the village
inhabitants of southern Minne
sota is derived from shallow,
open wells, which, in settlements
without sewer systems, are ncc
essairly near one or more privies
or cesspools. An examination
of eleven of these wells situated
in as many different villages
showed the presence of Bacillus
coli in ten of them -an indica
tion of contamination by human
or or other animal excreta. This
situation is an argument for
higher ideals of cleanliness and
sanitation in the villages em
braced in the investigation.
Every community, it is stated,
should aim to procure an ade
quate and safe source of water
supply, to install an efhcient sys
tem of water-works with mains
reaching every home, and to
construct an approved and ex
tensive system of sewers.

When once they comprehend that
in drinking the "clear, cold"
water from their shallow private
wells they are imbibing the

furthermore, they understand
that better conditions 'are with
in their reach, they will be ready
to do thei part kn the work of
improvement. "
