inches. A Jarge "ram" jsused to
.force the water to a reservojr on a
hill above the town, giving about
i?5 foot fall, sufficient for any fire
jSghting purposes the town wil
ever require.
The contract for putting in the
water aysteni was let to ,G. L.
Harpan. He has has considerable
experience in ths kind of work
and ii very highly pleased with
the result obtained frpm the use of
such power and majntafns' that the
Jtown may well feel proud pf such1
a possession, as no where 'in the
west is there a pface with such an
abundance pf water fpr all pur poses
at such a nominal cost.

Small Causes of War.
Nine hundred years ajro a dispute be
tween Modems and Bologna over a well
bucket began a war which devastated
Europe. A Chinese emperor once went
to war over the breaking of a teapot;
Sweden and Poland flew at each
other's throats In 1054 because the king
of Sweden discovered that his name In
an official dispatch was followed by
only two etceteras, while the king of
Poland's had three. The spilling of a
glass of water over the Marquis de
Torey led to war between France and
England, and a small boy, by throwing
a pebble at the Due de Guise, led to the
innsfcncre of Vnssy and the thirty
renrs' war.
