filter PLANT IS
PUT IN OPERATION
Four Of Units, With Capacity OF
100000 Gallons Each,
Are Started.
PURE WATER IN FEW DAYS
Time Must Be Allowed to Draw Pres
emit Contents of Mains-To Have
q Laboratory.

Four of the six filterfng units were
put in operation in Reservoir park
at 10:45 this morning. Unless some
unforeseen circumstance intervenes,
it is expected that pure water will
be Issuing from the city mains by
next Saturday. 1t will require at
least three days for the old water to
be drawn from the mains.
The plant was put in motion with
out a hitch. Each of the four units
now working has a daily capacity Of
100000 gallons. The daily con-
sumption in the city is approximate
ly 100000 gallons. Thus the plant,
as now operated, is capable OF sup
plying 100000 gallons in excess of
the daily demand. There are in all
six units in the plant. Each has a
capacity of / 100000 gallons. The
plant is so constructed that units
may be added as the consumption of
the city increases.
THE Pittsburgh Filter Manufac-
turing company has given us a first
class job" D. c. Kelly, superintend-
ent of waterworks, said today. ut
is now up to the city to efficiently
operate the plant We will need to
increase our force, and the future
successful results will depend wholly
upon the efficiency of the men who
will be put in charge.
TO PROVIDE LABORATORY.
"Sulphate of alumina is to be en-
ployed in the publication Of the wa
ter supply. Our next move will be
the installation of a laboratory
equipment We have provided quar-
ters for 1t at Reservoir park and it
is expected that the equipment will
be on hand at an early date. II is
planned to engage a professional
chemist from one Of the universities
and to retain him here a month, or
longer, until he can have taught the
chief engineer, or some other person
to be designated, how to operate the
analytical equipment We will then
be enabled to conduct a bacteriolog
ical test of the water every day in
the year"

The above dispatch appeared in
one of the Chicago papers this morn
ing. In talking to a representative
Of The Argus, S. s. Davis, a son-in-
law of Mr.. Weyerhaeuser, said :
There is simply nothing in It. Mr..
Weyerhaeuser is now in better health
than he has been for years. Mrs.
Jewett and her son have been with
her father all the winter. Mr.. Mitch
ellis private car, with Professor Jew
EFT aboard, passed through here last
Friday. I suppose the rumor sprang
up when the party was met at the
station by the family. This story is
something like the one which came
out three years ago. when it was rU-
mored that Mr.. Weyerhaeuser had
been kidnapped. The man who wrote
that article had but TO walk across
the street to find out whether or not
it was true. No. Mr.. Weyerhaeuser
is in the best OF health"

Los Angeles, Feb. 15.-That Fred

wealthiest men in the northwest, is
seriously i'll at his winter home, 375

asserted by friends. Later it was de-
MED by his son-in-law, Professor
James Richard Jewett of the Univer-
sity of Chicago. John J. Mitchell of

car.

RALEIGH TO HAVE
ROOF GARDEN HIGH
ABOVE HEAT ZONE
Those Odd Structures on
Top of the Hotel Are for
Elevator and Musicians.

A real metropolitan roof garden is
to be opened in" Washington by the
time the first YARN weather reaches
the city next summer. Work upon it is
now being done by the George A. Fuller
Company. which is building the New
Raleigh Hotel
The roof garden Is to cover the entire
roof of the new hotel at the northeast
corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Twelfth street, far above the heat of
the asphalt below and away from any
large buildings which might obstruct the
view.
Many who have been watching the
progress of the work upon the new ho-
tel have wandered to what use the
two buildings upoh the roof, one a big
square structure and the other a large
cupola, were to be put. Thousands
who thronged the roofs of the down.
town office buildings yesterday to watch
Aviator Atwood fly to the White House
had their first good view Of the top Of
the Raleigh Hotel, and could not un-
derstand the meaning of the two un-
usual superstructures on the roof.
The large, square building Is to ac-
commodatc the elevators Of the new
hotel, one Of which will be operated di-
rectly to the roof. The entrance door
can now be seen. The cupola at the
srteet corner of the roof is not entirely
an ornamental affair. but is being built
for the use Of the orchestra, which will
play during the hot summer evenings
next year.
A substantial incIosure is being erect
ed about the roof. so as to minimize the
danger of accident, and the roof itself
is being covered with tile, like the floor
of rathskeller.
The Raleigh is one of the highest
buildings in the District, from street to
roof, owing to the great width of the
avenue at this point. With he elabo-
rae preparations for a garden on its
top, where one may partake of refresh
ing drinks, the while enjoying cool,
fresh breezes from the Potomac far be-
low, the prospect for the summer OF
1912 is not so bad.
