from harming their souls in any way.

Samuel Storrow. consulting civil

western Gas and Electric company
who is in the city at present assisting
in the reconstruction Of the company S
plant, met with the water committee
of the council last night and yoluntar-
lily gave that body some excellent ad-
vice regarding the future water sup
ply Of Walla Walla. Mr.. StorrOW is
probably one Of the most eminent
civil and hydraulic engineers in the
West and his remarks which covered
every point of view, in regard to the
water situation, We're eagerly listened
to.
Without making an actual survey
and tesS Mr.. Storrow advanced the
opinion that the valley drained by Mill

employed on the Thomas ranch 20 a
depth which will insure an ample
supply. That only a very small per
cent Of the water drained into the
Mill creek basin each year flows down
that stream he said was apparent, as
the same condition exists in hundreds
Of other places. To ascertain the
depth Of flow he said the city should
sink a number OF wells at likely
points selected and measure the vol
ume as depth wac reached The man
ner CT raising the water was discre-
tionary with the city but he intima.ed
that his company was ready to furnish
electric power at rates that would
make its use cheaper than any other
power that could be secured. He
