Information gained in the con- struction of the Flagstaff res ervoir and developing a water supply for it. He conceived the idea that the same method applied in getting water for Flagstaff could be applied to other parts of the mountains and an unlimited supply ob- tained. Investigation proved his idea to be perfectly sound and development work was be- gun with the result that water was found in abundance and easily gathered and conducted to lower levels.
 The geological formation in the San Francisco Mountains lent itself readily to the carry ing out of MT. Spencer's plans. The slopes ofthe San Francis cos are volcanic cinder which holds snow and rain and con- ducts their waters to hidden recesses. The downward flow of the water is stopped by an impervious trap rock which leads the water outwardly. By cutting trenches at the foot of the cinder slopes the water is gathered into a flow of consid- erable volume. The develop ment work begun by MT. Spen- cer and continued by the de- velopment company will re- quire a conduit of 4 feet diam eter to convey the accumulat- ed water to crater lake over 2 miles distant. It is the inten- tion of the company to com plete this work within the next few months and fill the crater to it's capacity, 65O,OOO,O0O.
 Plans for Williams
 If satisfactory arrangements can be made between the Co., conino Water Development Go. and the Town of Williams the company proposes to supply Williams with water from it's Crater reservoir which the company guarantees shall be the equal of the water which Flagstaff has. from all ap- pearances the water seems to be identical with the Flagstaff water. The company proposes to lay a line of twelve inch pipe from it's reservoir to a reservoir of 100000 gallons capacity to be built on the mountain ridge northeast of town. From this reservoir water will be distributed turnout the town.
 The Development Company has submitted two alternate propositions to the Town Coun- cil on which it wants a referen- dunn by the voters of the muni- cipality. The first proposition asks for a 25 year franchise to construct and maintain ava ter system in Williams and to charge water consumers $1.50 per month for the first 1000 gallons used and fifty cents for each additional 1000, and to construct and maintain asew- CT system and chargefor ser vice the rates allowed by the ordinance No. AS of the Town of Williams.
 The second proposition is to bring water to Williams, con- struct the one million gallon reservoir, build water and sew CT systems and deliver not less than 7O,0O0,00O gallons of wa ter annually, and receive for reservoir, water and sewer sys- tems and water supply, $200,- 900 in Town of Williams bonds.

INTERESTING LECTURE
 BY MISS O'bRENNAN

Miss Kathleen O'Brennan,
 The Celebrated Irish Lec-
 turer and Writer, Under the
 Auspices of the Literary De-
 partment of the Woman's
 Club, Williams, on Thurs
 day November 18th.
 The Public Library Hall Vas packed to capacity to hear this distinguished Irishwomar. Miss O'Brennan is editor of the Irish Times, Dublin, and correspondent of the Manches- ter Guardian, Manchester, En- gland.
 Miss O'Brennan said in part:
 "The question has been ask ed how the Irish renaissance movement started? About 35 years ago, some scholars and eminent men in Dublin decid- ed to preserve the ancient folklore and music which was in danger of being entirely lost as the population had dwindled from eleven millions to four and half millions; every year thousands upon thousands seeking the hospitality of Am erica. |.
 The ancient Irish Language, it's music, it's stories, it's art has been preserved only by the peasant folks in the wilds of Arren, of Achill, in the high lands of Donegal and the hills of Kerry.
 The first start was made by inaugurating a huge musical festival at the Rotunda, Dublin, and inviting all the harpists, pipers, ,fiddlers and story tellers to a monster meet in competit- ion in the various classes. Some of the harpists, pipers and fid- dlers were upwards of 100 years old and some 90. The old songs were sung, the old tunes played and the old stor- ies retold. The title given to this festival was Feois Coel. To the astonishment of the organ iers, more than 1000 compet- itors were present from all over the country.
 The festival attracted music ians and others from all over Europe who were equally as- torished at the fund of poetry and music which was render ed.
 Music which had never been committed to manuscript has as the result of the efforts of the organizers given to Ireland 5000 Folk Airs. These folk Airs form the basis of all great music. in the country: and it is the same with other coun- tries.
 Whenever a boy or agirl i'll any part of the country is sup posed to have a voice and has ambitions for a professional career, the people of his dis trict send him or her to this Festival for a tryout; some of the voices trying at times are very indifferent. It is rule of the festival that no one must applaud. Anyone can gain ad- mission for the sum of ten cents and stay throughout the entire contest.

CRATER LAKE

On account of pressing busi- ness matters, MT. Gold was un- able to go to Flagstaff Monday from which point the investi- gating committee was to pro- ceed to Crater Lake, the pro- posed impounding reservoir for the waters of the San Fran cisco mountains, and MT. M. J.. Wells of the Williams News took his place. The Commit tee made a trip to Flagstaff on No. 22 and were met at the sta tion by MT. Spencer who took them by auto to the crater, some twelve miles north of the town of Flagstaff.
 This particular crater is one of the many which are in the San Francisco Mountains, left there in ages past when the volcanic action in this section ceased. The crater is bowl shaped and has a diameter of about 1900 feet on the line of the water surface of the full reservoir as the development company proposes that it is to be. The greatest depth of water will be 75 feet. In order to get this depth the rim of the crater will have to be built mp at one point, but that is a simple matter and involves no great expense.
 In the course of time the sur face of the crater has become covered by soil and scanty veg citation is growing in this soil and also quite a number of trees. This organic matter the development company pro- poses to remove.
 The development company has run a tunnel under he edge of the bowl on the Will Hams side of over 400 feet. It has about 60 feet to con- struct to reach the bottom of the bowl. It is the purpose of the company to use the tunnel for outlet pipes. There is now in the crater about 20 feeet of perfectly clear water. This water has beeen led into the crater from the foot of the mountains where the water de- velopment has taken place and will be prosecuted in the fu- ture.
 The Source of Water Supply
 MT. Spencer is entitled to the credit of initiating the de- velopment work which will
