Mr.. Goodrich Has a New Water
Plan.
Would Get the Supply From
Large Deep Wells.
is MUCH TOO REMOTE.
Thinks Pumping Station Should
Be Near City.
Would Also Put Electric Plant
at Harrison Street.

II. NJ. Goodrich, superintendent of
the city electric light plant. believes
THAI the entire waterworlzs and electric
light system of Topeka should be re-
modelled. the water supply derived
from driven wells 20 feet deep. and
the pumping station concentrated at
the foot of Harrison street in the old
waterworks pump house location.
Until we have such a system as
this declares MIR. Goodrich. we will
not have perfectly up-to-date and
adequate water service"
Because he believes that the present
arrangement can not be made salts
factory, Mr.. Goodrich gives this advice
TO the mayor and council:
lit would be a waste of good mater
ial TO require the water company to
present plant. The city would better
take the plant in its present condition.
and spend the money where it will do
more good
In explaining his plan. Mr. Goodrich
says:
LAS originally. planned, the water
pipe system of Topeka was arranged
like a mans hand, with the pumping
station where the wrist would be. The
water was being forced in at the little
from this as a center. Now when the
city required the water company to
move its plant west OF town because
OF sewer outlets near the harrison
street station, it was as though the
water was benigfroced in at the little
finger of the hand, instead of at the
wrist This is what cuts down the
water pressure. 1t is a very easy mat
ter to see where the trouble begins.
Out in Potwin they have tremendous
pressure during a fire. At Lincoln
street the pressure is good, at Buchan-
an it is good, at Clay it is good. East
of there it slumps suddenly. The re-
striction on the circulation is removed
at Clay, the water spreads out, and the
pressure falls.
My idea is that the city should re-
locate its pumping station at Harrison
street. To do this we would have to
get a new water supply. At the Wolff
packing house, Moesers, the Continent
tai creamery, the city electric light
plant and other Institutions they get
an abundant supply by sinking a well
about 20 feet to bed rock At Wolff $
packing house, they have a we'll eight
inches in diameter, which supplies l.
800, COO gallons a day. Let US have this
water analyZed TO be sure it is pure
Then we can sink enough of these
wells in the neighborhood OF the Harri-
son street station to supply all the
ter of computing how many of these
wells we will need
1--WE would in this way get a good
from the proper place. The next thing
would be to get the right kind OF
pumping facilities. My idea is to ma

On the Road.

Queer" said a hotel clerk who
dropped into the Willard hotel last
night for a chat, "the things different
men regard as the essentials of COM
fort while travelling. L suppose the
minimum of baggage now is what it
was a generation ago-a night shirt
and a tooth brush. I've known many
a man to go on A weeks trip, hun
dreds of miles from home, however,
with nothing but a bottle of whisky.
and I've known other men who regard
as superfiuous anything but a clean
set of collars.
cling two weeks without a set of both
heavy and light underwear, and others
are careless enough to get along with
nothing but a razor and shaving
stick.
''rhe smallest amount of impede
menta 1 ever saw was a SO dress suit
case carried by a well dressed man
into a hotel up in Canada, where was
working ten years ago. He got one
of the best rooms in the house, and
seemed to have plenty of money. He
was from New York and was to be on
the road for a month. The only things
he had in the way of baggage were an
orange stick and a pair of cuticle
scissors. Fact. He told me that he
carried the suit case simply to make
himself respectable in the eyes of the
hotel clerks, and that he never carried
anything in it but those manicuring
helps.

best of railroad men could not succeed
in SO short a time.
There is absence of density of traffic
over such a widespread system, owing
to the vast stretches of country through
which the Rock Island system runs that
do not produce any traffic of conse-
1uence. This makes a difficult question
to get traffic and handle the operating
department in way that will attain
the most remuneratiVe results. In the
east, the traffic is on hand, and the
question of operating is simpler. But
the time has been too short for an east
ern man to take charge of such large
and unwieldy system like the Rock Is
land, and put it in good shape.
In securing Loree, the MooreS thought
they were getting a. man who would be
able to do what all the others have fall
ed at. His failure to reach their Ideal
brought on the unfavorable criticism
and with internal dissensions, existing
owing to the opposition of B. L. Win
chell, it was easier to resign than to
continue to try and please the Moore
interests.
B. L. Winchell is now in full charge
of the operating of the Rock Island
system. He is an able traffic man, but
it remains to be seen how he will make
out in operating. 1t is one thing to be
a traffic manager and another to be an
operating one.
