We were sorry that it was necessary to connect onto our new water system before the same was fully completed, but we were lucky to have the spring water, iwhen our old line was frozen off. The new water system will not be completed until March, or at least the springs at the head of the system cannot be tapped until then. Everything possible is being done which will rush this to completion. A ditch is now carrying the water from the springs, and wild ducks and possibly some musk rats are there; also some cattle are watering frciAi the ditch. It seems impossible to cut out some seepage water Which filters into the temporary ditch, and which may not be good water.. This ditch will not be used to carry the water from the head of the springs after the trench is dug and the pipe is land to the springs. The craw of men who are laying the pipe line is about 1400 feet from the springs now, and everything is being pushed for the completion of this worthy project as soon as possible. All of this filth in water, namely cattle watering, the stirring up of the water by the wild life, and the seep Water coming into our culinary system wiill be entirely when the pipe line is completed and the springs tapped.
