The company have guaranteed to, de­ liver a certain quantity at a stated price with a bonus for all over and above the set amount up to 250 gal­ lons a minute. The commission have already made numerous tests and have failed to secure the neces­ sary supply. The latest test has been made of a well at the residence of Mr. Nelson Kestle. The test was made by Chas Triebner andi the wat­ er from the well was forced up by steam generated by two traction engines. The supply was estimated at about 60 gallons per minute from what is believed to be a running stream through the bottom of the well. The well is now being brick­ ed up and put in good shape again as the steam engines are required for threshing purposes. The- mand on system of week, one year was ___ 140 gallons per minute. The lowest demand for any' one day during that week was 151 gallons. Mr. and Mrs. Rynard, of Brock, visited with E. N. Shier this week. Mr..
