During the past week the matter of providlng a water supply for public purposes has been ngalu agitated among ïeading clttzens. Two ïnethods are receiving consideraron- a windinill anda hydraulic ram. The later seems to have the most supporters. Many years ago, the villape purchased a ram and put it in ' Dexter's spring1' forcing water into a public trougli in front of the old Western Hotel. Subscquently the rum was removed and lost track of until last week wlien it was recovered in A. 1 condition. The plan proposed, seeing that we have the ram, is to put it in mili creek below Blrkett'a mili and lay a water pipe to the public cistern, and a watering trough erected on Main st. By this aystem pcrmaoent water supply would be established and at a very slight expense, the only outlay being the cost of putting down the pipo. The plan mects favor from a large number of cilizcns, and indieatlons are that It will be carried out.-Dextcr Leader.
