NocALEs WATER PROBLEM.

M Nlht 1AtClAi ltCA dtN NtNc017Act4 cfSA the failure of pressure in the water system at a critical time, and, as intimated elsewhere, there have been passed back and forth the usual recrimination between mem- bers of the fire department, the water company, and the town gov ernment. This has been intensi- fled by the sensational attitude as- sumed the Times, which has cast blame in all directions, and has assumed to itself all sorts of virtues and excellencies. It planes the water company for insufficiency of water supply; 1t planes the other newspapers for standing in with corporations, bosses" etc.; and in it's puerile efforts at sensationalism il casts responsibility everywhere save the right direction, when if it knew anything of the unfortunate situation it would have known that there is a divided responsibility wherein the entire burden can be laid in no one direction.
 
 By way of premise 1t is here stated that supplying water to the town of Nogales, or any other town in Arizona, is prohibited by law from becoming monopoly. The territorial law forbids granting an exclusive franchise to anyone for supplying municipal water any where. The field in Nogales is open to anyone who wishes to en- ter it. There Is a most excellent opportunity for those who are res p0nsible for existence of the Times In their issue of Thursday they tell the public how they have supplied the community with what 1t has long needed, viz: a fearless. inde- pendent newspaper, not controlled by corporations, to protect the public interest. In the very article where that boast is made the Times shows there is far more need for an efficient water system in No- gales than there ever was for a newspaper of any kind. Double leaded editorials all the newspapers in Arizona would not have saved the Carrillo building from the rav- aging flames of Monday afternoon, even though the brilliant lucubra- ti0ns of the "Saunterer" of the Times were added thereto; but an ef1clent water system would rave done so. Water at a critical time Is always a more crying need than is newspaper at any time. There is chance for the eminent philan- 'hropists and public spirited gen tlefnen Y ho are responsible for the Times to show themselves real public beneiactors Let them pro- vide NogaIes with an adequate water system and future genera lions will rise and call them blessed.
 Some months ago there was or ganized corporation, known as fA @uota ff,4 kVafar C1vs,s,,,,.
The oasis., 1904-10-22

with the avowed object of supply ing Nogales with a water system from the Santa Cruz river Unless Mr. Pellegrin rushes into the breach, as herein suggested, per- haps that corporation can be in- duced to go ahead and carry out its avowed object. Having in view the inadequacies and shortcomings of the present system, in laying a new one the known defects of this might be avoided. For instance instead of connecting three inch hydrants with two inch mains. re- ducing water pressure more than forty per cent the moment a hy- drant is opened, and increasing the reduction in pressure with every additional hydrant called into ser vice, four inch pipe could be laid to three inch hydrants, from which pressure would increase upon open ing plug, instead of diminishing.
 In the closing sentence of the foregoing paragraph is presented the main cause of the trouble. All  the mains are smaller than the hydrants with which they are con- nected; and when one Is called into acquisition there k immediate diminution in pressure, and with two CT three open pressure is all dissipated. Now that was the con. dition at the Carrillo fire of Mon- day The Terrace avenue main is 3 two inch pipe. The hydrants are all three inch plugs. Hose was attached to two of the hydrants and the water turned on. Imme- diately pressure was diminished more than one half in the hydrants, when were the hydrants smaller than the mains pressure would have increased with opening the valves, and the pressure at the nozzles would have been far greater than at the guages in the water company's office and at the reser- yoir, which both indicated seventy I three pounds.
 The responsibility for loss of pressure in having hydrants larger than the mains feeding them lies with the town board which adopted and put in the hydrants, and that was the board which was elected two years ago last April. The water company is not responsible for that. They laid the mains and the town put in the hydrants. Very likely standard hydrants were adopted, such as are used elsewhere, without taking into con sideration that those others are fed by larger mains. However, that being the case, be it any way that it may be. there is nothing fair in abusing the water company
 Without doubt the newspapers of Nogales are responsible for not having warned the town hoard of two wears ago tAat the mains anu

Chairman Burton of the rivers and

gestion at Rockport to Congress
man Garner that in his argument
for the intercoastal canal he would
post himself as to the cost, figures
compared coast and to urge his bill
along this line.
Mr.. Burton being silent,
thoughtful man, not given to rash
advice. this is taken to mean that
the chairman, who is declared prob
ably the best informed man tin the
country on water transportation
problems, has from his knowledge
contracted the comparatively small
cost of a gulf finland passage
with the great cost of similar work
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
This is also taken to indicate. in
terest in the project by the chair
man of the committee, admittedly
the dominating spirit of the body.

Miss Opdyke is well known in this city and indeed all over the territory, as a most estimable woman and a thorough edu- cator.

 Miss Opdyke taught in the PhoeriS high school last fall and went from here to Tombstone to accept the posi- ton of assistant to the principal. teach Ing there the rest of last year. She was reelected for the same position this year, but Professor Berner, the principal, was recently appointed sup erlntendent of the Industrial school leaving the vacancy that made the pro motion of Miss Opdyke possible.
