Dali DeWeeSe Talks
for Pure City Water
Study Conditions Hereabouts and Is
Conn to Good Advice.

Dear Editor:-There is scarcely a
day passes but what some one enters
my office or stops me on the street and
says, Dali, can't something be done
that will give us good mountain water
for Canon City,"
This subject is being agitated by
almost everyone in our city, as well
as in the columns of our county pa
pers / would like to express myself
publicly on this question.
There is no denying the fact that we
need, should and must have better
water for our city, and l believe that
the proper time has arrived when
measures should be taken to settle the
question where the supply is to come
from, the probable cost, and then go
after it and get it.
Many have asked me what l think
of the supply in different springs here
and there, also FourMile, and what |
think of the underf1ow in the Arkansas
river and Grape Creek. In the first
place, please bear in mind that what
little l have to say on this subject

LOT OF HIGH SALARIRD
OFFICIALS IN TOWN

Perhaps never in the history OF Can
on City has there been as many high
salaried railroad officials in town as
was the case last Thursday afternoon.
when the president, three vice-pres-
idents, general manager. general sup
erintendent, three directors. and half
score of other big officials of the
Santa Fe Company came up from Pu-
eblo for the purpose of inspecting the
company's terminals here, with view
of increasing their capacity II circum-
stances seemed TO Justify 1t.
They came in on a special train of
four coaches, one of which was the
private car OF President Ripley. and
were here only a short time. The pri-
mary object OF their visit was to look
into the matter OF building spurs to
the various coal camps of the county
which are at present without railroad
facilities. and to investigate the ad-
visibility of making some sort OF tenn
porary connection with the Royal
Gorge electric line. What decision was
reached in relation to these matters
will probably not be known for several
weeks.
Among those in the party were Pres
ident E p. Ripley. president J..
w. Kedrick, Vice-president George r.
Nicholson, Vice-president f. d. Kenna.
J. Il. German, freight traffic manager:
J. Il. Hurley. general manager. Il. j.
Parker, general superintendent; c. II.
Morehouse, division freight agent; c.
II. Bristol. division superintendent, and
w. o. Skinner, general agent
President Ripley, who is an old
gentleman. was anxious to spend the
night in as quiet a place as possible,
and as he had expressed a wish for
Cañon City record., 1906-06-14

able, neither is the extent of the drain
age basin sufficient.
AS to South Cottonwood, above Tex
as Creek, it would be necessary to
build storage reservoir there, besides
piping water thirty to thirty-five miles,
and if a better supply can be had by
not being compelled to pipe more than
four or five miles and with four times
the chance of an adequate supply, why
go to Cottonwood?
We now come to the Arkansas river
and Grape Creek, which are the only
two natural sources that can afford
an ample supply of water. We have
the water from the Arkansas, and we
all know what it is. 1t is mineralized
and otherwise impure, resulting from
heavy mining interests at Leadville
and many other localities this side.
Chemists tell us that this feature can
not be remedied. Although the water
may be filtered traces of some injur-
ious minerals yet remain. Then we
have the filth, the sewerage and or
ganic matter constantly being dis
Cañon City record., 1906-06-14

charged into the river for a distance
of 120 miles above US, and when you
speak of extending our water main up
the river to better the present condi-
ton | cannot see how it would be i'm
proved if you would extend it as far
as Salida or beyond. You would have
river water still.
/ have heard it suggested that we
could sink 10 bedrock in the Canon and
tap the underfiow. This is perfectly
absurd, for can show anyone that
the bedrock extends across the river
channel in one-half dozen places be-
tween here and Parkdale. This Grand
Canon and Royal Gorge is not a rent
in the earth, as many believe; 1t is
simply a worn chasm, caused by dis
integration and erosion during millions
of years. If it were rent bedrock
would not appear There is a section
of the stream, however from the
mouth of Grape Creek up the river a
mile or so, where bedrock is very deep,
and the plan of building filtering tanks
or basins in that locality would not
be practicable. and if it were you
would still have Arkansas river water.
/ now come to Grape Creek. AS
said above, the Arkansas river and
Grape Creek are the only two natural
sources. Grape Creek is the only prac-
Cañon City record., 1906-06-14

must be understood that | am writing
from a purely unselfish standpoint, but
that my interests as permanent resi-
dent here are in the direction of what
is best in general for our city, and
that | mean from what source can an
adequate supply of pure mountain
water be had.
As to the springs mentioned above,
/ will say that the most OF them dis
charge mineralized water. and that
none of them in any locality about
here would supply one-tenth part OF
the water needed, much less the fact
that we should prepare for greater
population, and particularly will the
population increase as soon as it is
known that good water is secured.
This means that we must prepare for
at least one million gallons daily
Four-Mile would also come under
the head of mineralized water, having
the greater part of its supply from
the tunnels that drain the mining dis
trict of Cripple Greek; besides there
is no surplus water there.
The possibilities of water from Cur
rant Creek and North Cottonwood are
entirely out of the question, as the
supply is far inadequate and the top
ography of the country is such that
practical reservoir sites are not avail
