ris saws that the chief justice is
sounding the praises of Arizona IN
a most emphatic and enthusiastic
manner. The Judge said that dur
ing his trip east he found that Ari-
zona was more discussed and
seemed to draw more favorable at
tention and comment than any
other section of the Far West. That
he liked the East and he liked
Denver, but that, regardless of any
considerations of his official posi-
zion, he regarded Arizona as the
favored section of the entire coun-
try--that it is a region of wonder
ful future possibilities, with a pop
ulation fully abreast of the times
and alive to the bright future
ahead for their coming State. Mr..
Norris mentioned that the Judge
dwelt on his impression that F. M.
Murphy moved with considerable
power in financial circles in the

deal to induce investment in Arl-

GOOD WATER TO BE HAD IN
A NEIGHBORING VALLEY
Springs in Pauoa Attract Notice of Civil En-
gineer Who Suggests That They Be Utilized

source in number of springs\ far
up the valley, above all possibility of
pollution.
The lower springs are three in num-
Der, and, as near as 1 could judge, flow
at the rate of 100000 gallons per "a
hours. These have an elevation of
something like $50 feet above sea level.
The upper springs are four in number
and produce, 1 should say, by the size
Of the stream, approximately 100000
gallons every "a hours. These upper
springs have an elevation of 600 feet,
as near as my aneroid would read. In
quiry from the natives and Cinnamon
living in the neighborhood elected the
fact that these springs are not affected
by drought, and from this and the ap-
pearance of the white sand they throw
up am led to believe that they come
from a deep and extensive stratum, and
must therefore be free from all impur-
tiles. From the character of the coun-
try Immediately back of them, I believe
by a short tunnel they could be made
to produce at least twenty-five times
the amount of water they do now.
The valley is admirably adapted for
storage purposes, and Immediately at
the point of the upper springs is nat
uraI basin.
The upper springs could be used for
the higher elevations and Manoa valley,
where the residents now have to de-
pend on rain water for domestic pur-
poses, and the lower springs for the
lower town levels. No pumping would
be necessary, as there would be no
ridges or elevations to cross, thereby re-
dUcing the head pressure. A gravity
system could be used, and the cost to
the people for the operation of expen-
sive pumping plants thereby done away
with.
I have inquired and found that there
are comparatively few owners, which
will therefore, reduce the trouble and
expense of acquiring this water, which
should and will be small in comparison
to the benefits that would accrue to the
people of Honolulu by having pure
water.
1 do not know how much water is
used daily by the people of our city,
but it should be something under
:, 100000 gallons, and I am satisfied that
there can be developed ten times this
amount for daily use if necessary.
Now, Mr.. Editor, this is not intended
as a scare; but as time is flying, this
community should acquire all the pure
water that it can, either from this val
ley or some other place, 1 care not
where, but I select this valley on ac-
count of its proximity, its pure water,
and its few people to deal with in the
purchase of its water.
In our youth we should prepare for
Did age. Water will become more and
more valuable each year, and we should

Editor Advertiser: The proposition of
the Superintendent of Public Works to
purchase the Kaimuki water works of
Messrs Gear. Lansing & Co. brings to
my mind very forcibly that as time
passes, with our large and growing
population, the water problem of Ho-
nolulu becomes more and more per-
picking.
No one will question that the water
served to the dear public now is far
from pure. The government has gone
to considerable expense to impound the
water of Nuuanu valley, whose water
sheds are more or less inhabited and
have cattle running over them, and for
this reason the waters cannot help but
become polluted.
Fuertes, in his work on Water and
Public Health" has collected and ar
ranged data from great many Amer
lean cities that are using water from
upland streams and sources known to
be contaminated" showing the death
rate per 100 of population from typhoid
fever, which, while too long to be given
here, is in itself startling, and while
there are other mediums of typhoid
fever infection besides drinking water
the fact that publication of the water
supply in every case greatly reduced
typhoid rate seems to me to argue that
drinking water is by far the most I'M
portant one. Seventy-fve per cent of
the death rate in American cities falls
between the following limits of each
class of water supply:
Mountain springs, 2 to 10; filtered wa
ter, to 20; ground water. to 80; i'm
pounded water, Is to So; upland
streams, % to 81.
Under the latter head Honolulu must
be classed.
deaths only, but since only 9 to II per
cent of typhoid cases ordinarily prove
fatal, the chance for any citizen being
infected with this disease is say 10
times these rates.
Thus, where polluted waters are used, |
each citizen as part of the community
loses annually by death from $3.50 to
SIS worth of potential labor, which
might be reduced by the use of spring
water to from 10 cents to 81.
Moreover, the average loss on account
Of sickness and doctors bills amounts
to a total loss of 81 to $40 per capita, as
against possible II cents to $1.36 with
1 pure water supply. This amount Of
money, if capitalized, could, from a
ltilitarian point of view, be very profit
ably spent in obtaining water from an
Incontaminated source.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the
BEST water supply, from a sanitary
point of view, is that coming from
mountain springs that are removed
rom any possibility of pollution.
Noticing large quantities of water
owing from Pauoa Valley, which is i'm /
nediately back of the center of the city, I
concluded to investigate. and few
avs ago the opportunity presented it :
elf found that this water has its
