THE WATER Is PURE.
No Pollution From the Stock Yards Can Reach
the Receiving Reservoir.

The stock yard at Drovers Rest, near the re-
cciving reservoir of the Potomac watcr.works,
has been for some time the subject of number
less visits from inspectors, reporters and others
who had heard stories of the terrible contam-
nation of the water supplied to the city by the
drainage from the stock pens. A REPUBLICAN,
reporter was the latest victim. on visit to
the spot yesterday 1t was found that though
there had evidently not been very recent re-
moval of manure, there was nothing offensive,
and though the wind blew across the road
from the pens, their presence would never
have been suspected by the smell. So little
used Is the place in fact, that high grass Is
growing In the greaterpar Of the area devoted
TO cattle pens. The weekly market on TucsI
day, grows less yearly, the advent of western
becfstill further discouraging local stock men,
a ditch separates the stock pens from the aquc-
duct road, across which is the reservoir. Below
the firmly packed macadam roadbcd Is the
aqueduct itself imbeddcd in at least thirty
feet depth of clay. The ditch is the drain
from the yard, as well as the channel through
which spring reaches the Potomac, and is
consequently flushed constantly. A second
ditch, now dry, divides the road from the
reservoir. Altogether the place seemed us
clean rs such a spot could be kept.
One of the recent visits OF inspection was by
members of the $. y. c. A., who contemplate
| the erection Of a drinking place for cattle,
where they can stop as they are driven in from
| the country, or arrive by the Chesapeake and
| Ohio railroad. In case the yard should NJ any
| time fall heir to great revival of business
and the place be much crowded the wind
might carry OdOrs over the water which II alb
sorbed would be apt TO vary the present piquant
| taste of Potomac water. These are all the OBJ
seryatiOns the latest observer made, except
thatitia road OF approach was dusty and the
grade steep, facts quite noticeable on warm
day, even when driving.
