DALLAS WATER FILTERED
Contractor II. V. Gates Tells of Sue.
cessfuI Experiment in Keep
ing Intake Clear.

H. V. Gates, of HiIlsboro, owner
Of water plants and electric power
plants in different Oregon cities, is
a guest at the Perkins, having
arrived from Dallas, where he is
finishing his new water system,
preparatory to turning it over to
the city, says the Portland Journal.
"The plant at Dallas is as good
as can be found anywhere" said
Mr.. Gates, "and starts off with $50
subscribers With this excellent
beginning, have reason to believe
that in a short time practically
every family and every building in
town will be using the water.
"Dallas' water supply comes
from mountain stream six mil, s
from town. 1t is conducted on the
gravity system. In quality the
water is as good as that in Port
land, which means that it is as
good as can be found anywhere.
Repeated tests show that it is
absolutely pure
"An important experiment made
by me in connection with this sys-
tenn has proved complete success
at Dallas after a test of three
months, and may be adopted by
the city of Portland. In this city
there is always more or less trouble
in keeping the intakes clean. I'M
fact, cleaning intakes requires the
work of men at the Portland water
plant all the time. At Dallas |
introduced what is practically a
filter bed near the source ofsupply, !
and the intake pipes and netting
are almost as clean as the day they |
were placed, although the water
has been running through three
months. 1t is my intention to inn
mediately introduce the new sys-
tenn at my Elgin water plant.
"In Dallas the plant established
will meet the needs of town Of
5000 people--which means that
Dallas is we'll cared for in the way
of water supply for years to come"
Mr.. Gates is we'll known in
Portland, having been in the rail
road business in the city for many
years. He now calls Hillsboro his
home, but most Of his time is spent
in other towns where he owns
water systems.
