THE WATER QUESTION.
Reply to Mr.. WoodWard's State.
ment in the News.
Grangeville, March 10, 1906.

NA0nkOvAA1Oy X40AOA 1COOs
To the Public: In the last issue
of the News, Capt. Woodward sug-
gests that municipal construction
Of competing water supply is
better proposition for the city than
the purchase of the Jack system.
For the benefit of Mr.. Woodward
and others Of the public will state
that this matter was very thorough
ly threshed out by the council and
Mr.. Roberts last summer. 1t is
quite true that Mr.. Roberts states
in his report that a municipal sys-
tenn can be constructed for 500, 900.
But it will be noted that Mr.. Rob-
erts nowhere suggests or recon-
mends that the council adopt such
a proceeding. Before such a sys-
tenn could be started the city must
dispose of its bonds at a rate of
interest varying from six to seven
per cent. After completing it's sys-
tenn the city must furnish as good
a supply Of water at the same or at
a lower rate than the Jack system,
and the city must also install the
service pipes and connections to it's
customers free of charge. Further
more, the city is still bound by it's
contract, affirmed by the supreme
court, to pay the Jack system its
annual subsidy Of $1,000 per year
for the next % years. AZ long as
this contract exists the city is up
against the likelihood Of the Jack
system cutting water rates to a
price where the city plant would be
absolutely deprived Of all revenue,
while the interest rates and cost of
its maintenance still keeps going.
Again: The city has but two
sources Of supply available for a
competing municipal plant-the
Wilkinson Bledsoe springs, and
the McGrane, Evans and Talking
ton Johns creek water. Mr.. Rob
erts inspected both these supplies
last summer, and his opinion was
that while the McGrane source af-
forded more water than the Wiki
inson springs (provided that Nc
Crane could divert all the water of
Johns creek), on the other hand,
the quality of the Wilkinson Bled-
SOC springs was superior to the
McGrane supply. There is the
further possibility of litigation over
riparian rights should an effort be
made to divert the waters of Johns
creek into Three Mile.
Mr.. Roberts furnished the coun-
Gil with the following memoranda
of his investigation Of the Wilkin-
SON. Rledsoe water: "Three springs
were guaged-one ON the head OF
Butcher creek, another at the mill,
called the Clark spring, and the
Harper spring. The first measured,
on McKenzie's land, 100 gallons a
minute; the Clark spring, 90 gal
Ions per minute; the Harper
spring, p gallons per minute.
Other springs we're estimated al
follows: Spring on section line be.
tween sections 4 and 8 { | mile east
Of section corner to sections 4, 5,
s and 81, 40 gallons per minute;
Brown spring, 20 gallons per min.
ute; Bledsoe spring, 10 gallons per
minute. In addition, l explored
Three Mile creek above the mill
and estimated the flow at 200 gal.
Ions per minute. My official report
shows that 100 of this 200 is
counted among the possible in.
crease Of the Jack supply; and
while only portion of the balance
(10O) drains from Wilkinson's

Soap Bubbles.

NJ. Izsrn has communicated to, the
Academy Of Sciences new method for
obtaining soap bubbles lasting much
longer time than those obtained from
the soap water generally used. He has
recourse to a resinous soap made by the
following formula: Pulverize together
10 grams Of pure rosin and 10 parts
Of carbonate of potash; add 100 parts Of
water and boil until complete solution.
We obtain in this way a thick solution
which may be kept in stock to be diluted
for use with from four to five times it's
volume Of water. It can be kept indef-
nitely even when exposed to the air: The
bubbles produced are very persistent and
consequently can be made useful in the
study of phenomena relating to- thin
laminae and in making photographs in
which soap bubbles play part. :.

. Wichita Falls is located in the Wich-
tia and Red river valleys, magnificent
stretch OF land which extends about so
miles north and south aud probably 20
miles east and west. It is located on the
main line OF the Fort Worth and Den:
yer City railway, now Of the famous
Union Pacific system, and is the east
ern terminus Of the Wichita Valley rail-
way, which extends westward So miles
to Seymour, in Baylor county. 1t is ia
miles northwest Of Fort Worth and l48
miles from Dallas. Its population is
about 5000. !.
About Is months. ago the people
Of Wichita Falls decided that life
would not be worth living unless that
branch of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad which terminated at Hen
rietta was extended to their town. They
went before the. officers of the road
with their proposition. They submitted
to these officers the amount of freight
and passenger business that Wichita
Falls would furnish. =
The officers of the road told the Wichi-
ia Falls people, however, that if they.
could furnish any such business as they
claimed the proper thing for them to do
was to complete it themselves, and
that the Katy" road would divide earn
ings with the town.
The people Of Wichita Falls acted
upon this proposition promptly. Three
months ago the road was completed 30 e
miles at cost OF, $3.50, 900. This is an
indication of the enterprise of the peo-
pie of the county seat Of Wichita coun-
ty, and that is why the people Of the
county can afford to do such things.
