SPOKANE IS SEEKING A WATER SUPPLY

The Sunday Spokesman Review
says Of the seriousness of the water
supply question in the city of spo-
kane:
With Spokane using 2s,5OO,OO0 gal
Ions Of water day. an amount SS 1-S
per cent in excess Of that used by Sc
attic or Portland, and almost three
times that used by Tacoma, the ques-
ton Of supply and demand becomes
one Of the utmost importance to every
individual
When every man, woman and child
within the city limits uses on an av-
erage Of 900 gallons Of water every
day, the problem becomes one for
early solution. for such an average is
probably unparalleled in any other
city in America.
When the United States government
reports show that the flow Of water
in the Spokane river at this point has
decreased 40 per cent within the last
10 years the importance Of an early
solution Of the problem becomes ap-
parent.
Spokane is now securing its watel
supply from an underground well
The water is Of a splendid clearnes'
and purity, but whether the supply II
unexhaustible or will meet the de
mands Of a city growing 50 rapidly
as Spokane has not been determined
The pumping capacity Of the watel
plant has been increased at the rat'
Of approximately 100000 gallonI
a day every other year for the las
few years. Mayor Moore recommend
that il be increased an additional 49,
900 gallons per day by next spring.
How long can this be continued

ply Of water in river or well and the
financial ability of the city to pay
the bills?
What to do both in the immediate
and the distant future, is the ques-
ton. The Priest lake source is rec
commended by many; other nearer
sources have been lost by failure to
take advantage Of the opportunity in
time VIII municipal history repeat
itself as regards Priest lake?
These are only few of the ques-
tions involved in the local water
problem.
Opinions differ. There are some,
like c. NJ. Fassett, for instance, who
regard the present we'll supply as so
excellent that it should be continued
and developed, without much, If any,
regard to the advlsabillty of taking
up the Priest lake project. There are
others, like Otto Well, for instance,
who believe no time should be lost in
revolutionizing the management OF
the water department. in installing
meters and in promoting the Pries'
lake project. And there are still
others, like Mayor Moore, for in
stance, who b 'ieve the well supply
/ f. adequate for the present, but the
pumping capacity should be lncreas-
ed, yet who are confident the day is
not far distant when Priest lake must
be called on; when river and well will
have failed to meet the demands.
Herewith are covered some Of the
phases Of the problem by interviews
with prominent men who have studied
the situation and propose remedies.

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept l.-Dele-
gates from all over the south and
from many central and western
states, representing over million
American farmers, are today gather
ing in Fort Worth for the national
contention of the largest and most
powerful organization of agricultural
interests in the worlds history.
The Farmers Educational and CO.
operative union, familiarly known as
the farmers union" was originally
organized to mfntain a fair price for
the souths cotton crop, but the pres
ent convention finds it truly nation
al body. with all classes of farmers
represented.
It is likely that Charles Barrett Of
Georgia, under whose guiding hand
the union has made its great strides
in the past, will be reelected as ma
tional president
The union is organized on entirely
different lines from any organization
of farmers ever got together. In
stead of trying to force down the
prices of goods they purchase, except
so far as to cut off the profits of the
middlemen, their principal object is
to get better prices for the products
of the farm. They have also formed
an alliance with the labor organiza-
4 tions of the various states and of the
American Federation of Labor.
The, union is especially strong in
} the south and west. although thou
\ sands of farmers in the northwest are
Joining the organization daily.
! As a business organization 1t has
overturned the old order of things as
advanced by the Grange and Farmers
4 Alliance. It believes that the better
wages paid workingmen the higher
\ prices the latter can pay for farm
products and more will be consumed.
Hence, under the principle Of bus
mess they attempt to bring into force,
the farmer and worker are brought
together in material interest instead
of being forced apart
This is the first organization in the
history of the farm that has stood by
organized labor and joined with it in
the effort to benefit the condition Of
! all labor. Its members teach that the
interests of the farmer and worker
are identical.
The principal business of the Far
mer's union is to make prices for the
products of the farm In 1894. when
the largest cotton crop in the history
of the world was produced, and the
price was sent down to cents a
pound at interior points, the Texas
farmers showed what they could do
through organization.
They held their cotton until the
price was forced back to 10 cents a
pound This at thetime was regarded
as the greatest industrial victory ever
gained by an organization of this
{ character.
Since then in annual convention
t they have fixed the minimum price
( at which members woodland they
1 always got it-sell cotton. Before
that spectators fixed the price.
