During the extremely hot weather a few weeks ago, the drnvers found it impossib-le to procure water at the stock pens and a few pails drawn from the agent s residence com- pletely put the well out of busines= for some time. It `is likely that when work is completed, a goodly sup- ply of water will be avai1a'ble at both places.
