MUDDY POTOMAC WATER.
Comm ssioners Tell Why Water
Supply Is Yellow.
HEAVY RAINS AT PITTsBURG
Weather Bureau Officials, However,
Say There Has Been No Heavy Rain
fall at Headwaters of the Potomac
Valley Region Mud Is Light and Is
Held Long in Suspension.

Potomacwateri is mudd y, ,anda great man y
people are asking why. There have been no
heavy rains near here lately.
''Do you hold yourself personally respon.
sible for this water were gettiDg?'' was
Commissioner Ross question OF Mai. Pow.
ell when they met.
well, no; not exactly" was the ma TORS
response, as he set his cigar a little more
firmly between his teeth.
Really, what is the natter" asked The
Times reporter.
Heavy rains" answered Mai. Powell
But there have been no rains here for ten
days.
"Oh, l know; but there have been the
heaviest rains known in many yea RS off to-
ward Pittsburg, along the head waters of the
Potomac
MAI. POWELL EXPLAINS
call at the aqueiuct office gave the
same Information, but the source of
the report that heavy rains had fallen on
The Potomac headwaters was not given.
III weather Bureau reported that there had
becD no heavy rain any where in that re-
gioD since the first of the year. Tue total
at Pittsburg this year has been six -tenths
OF an inch.
Mai. Powell, when asked ON this point
Shiu 'h' ioibs spokcu VI were tHOss pftNdfl-
ing along the Potomac Valley week ago
Sunday. when there was such heavy wind
and rainfall here.
The muddy water made at that time far
up the river is just reaching here. 1t is
stated upon the authority of Col. Elliott
also that in freezing weather the mUd is
held by the ice crystals and so retained
suspended in the water longer than when
the weather is warmer.
Capt. Burr said, when asked why the
Dalecarlia reservoir does not allow the mud
to settle out as IT was hoped il would.
said some OF the clay in the upper Potomac
is so light that it settles very slowly.
'If you Will take a tumblerful OF the
water and allow 1t to stand over night you
VIII find, l think, that the mud has not
settled much.'
MUD IN THE RESERVOIR
Another reason given for the failure of
the Dalecarlia is that the extra use of
water in the cold weather does not allow
the supply To remain in the reservoir long
enough to deposit its sediment
The condition OF the water is shown by
health office officials experience last
night. He was feeling sore from the sudden
cold, and bis wife said, Take a coed hot
bath. That will straighteD You out He
agreed. and she let the bath tub run full
while tie finished reading the papers be-
fore retiring.
When he went upstairs she met him with
a laugh and pointed to the bath tub
1T was full of n deep, muddy-colored
he said. 1T looked so dirty
that | should have been worse eff after
bathing than before, and gave it up
