How the Plan Was discovered.

More years ago than / care to remem-
Der, was a sailor. The season to which
I refer / was on a sailing ship. and when
we got among the Terra del Fuego islands
the good ship went ashore.
There were many of our men thrown on
the rocks, and although we had managed
to obtain some food, death In a horrible
form stared us in the face. There was no
water on the island At to drink. At least
that was the way it seemed to u.s. True,
tumbling down the rocky side of the noun
tain close by was a limpid stream Of
sparkling water, but there were thousands
OF birds which nested on that rock and
their hlth polluted the water.
1T was maddening. We lay in the shade
and watched that water fall all around us,
when we could not drink a drop. Some Of
the men made little water wheels with their
Jackknives, and in order to amuse them
selves took broad rocks and directed the
course of the filthy stream from one to
the other in the shape OF tiny waterfalls.
Thus 1t turned one wheel and then an
other.
AT last I could stand the torture no
longer. 1 went to where the water d.
verted from the main stream, fell from
the last rock and, STOPPING down, tasted
H. II was fresh and sweet We all drank
heartily, and in time were rescued. Later
I began 20 wonder why that water had
purified itself and how. At last I discovered
the secret. In flowing over those broad
rocks II had broken itself up, been
thoroughly aerated and made sweet and
pure.
When I came 10 Omaha TO take charge
OF the water plant, I determined to try
the same principle with the Missouri river
water. We made the experiment, and II
is an unqualified success. Flowing over
the weirs in thin sheets, the water is
thoroughly purified. and where some cities
have to use filters. we use nothing at all
but a system OF miniature dams, or weirs.
I learned that secret in a contest with
death. and death almost won, too"

capacity; thence to the third Of the same
capacity. Here 1t passes into No, 4 reser-
voir, which holds 2OOOO,OOO gallons, and
finally into No. 8, OF equal capacity, from
whence 1t is drawn into the great thirty
six inch main to the city. When the water
has passed through the first four reservoirs
1t is perfectly pure, and so free from sed-
ment that but very light precipitation
may be obtained by allowing a gallon or
two to stand all night long in some
vessel.
These are the principal basins of the
company, but not the only ones. At Walnut
hill there are two others of large capacity
for storage purposes, while the original
Burt street basins may still be used in an
emergency. but seldom are. The Walnut
hill basins are situated on the highest
point within the immediate environs of
Omaha, save oneA
Just east of Krug park is a tract Of
land a little more elevated. and there the
company purchased a site for another vast
storage basin of 100000 gallons capacity,
which 1t would have built in the near flu
ture had not the city taken steps to ac-
quire the plant

HeKun In 1850.

The original plant was begun in the year
1880 at which time Omaha had a popula-
ton of only about $4,000. The system was
completed in 1888 and when the pumps
started in the house at the foot of Burt
street, they forced water through twenty
eight miles OF mains. Today the mains.
II placed end TO end. would extend 232
miles. The consumption OF water in 1886
was 100000 gallons a day. Now II has
grown to 100000. Addition after addition
has been made TO the plant, as the needs
OF the service required, and the year 1905
finds It strictly up-to-date in every re-
spect.
It was in the latter part OF the SOS that
the company officials arrived at the con-
clusion that the little pumping station on
the river bank was all right. in its humble
way, for the time being, but that, II the
future OF the city was TO be considered,
another station OF unlimited capacity would
be needed.
Pumping Missouri river water is not the
easiest operation in the world. Indeed. to
take the Big Muddy's fluid. separate II
from its sand and sediment and purify 1t
until IL is Mt for drinking purposes. is ex-
tremely difficult, Besides, the river is as
aclle as a summer girl, and as viii be
recalled In the case of Nebraska City, is
liable at any time to change its course
and leave the intake pipes sticking into
the air instead OF the current of the river
unless restrained by rock and riprap bonds.
