PORTER DEFENDS THE
USE OF CHLORINE
Water Commissioner Says That Twin
Falls Uses Less Than Majority OF
Other Municipalities.

That the idea that the use OF clio
rine in the city water here does cause
the water to taste badly is mostIy
imaginary and that amount used is
smaller than that made use OF by
most municipalities are the theories
set forth in the following report filed
Monday with the city clerk by Water
Commissioner w. f. Porter
Undoubtedly due to misunderstand-
ing, there is occasionally some criti-
sicm relative to the use of liquid
chlorine being put into our present
supply of water, some claiming it can
be tasted which is believed TO be
mostly imaginary.
There can be no denial Of the IN
pleasant odor and taste in the present
supply of water, but this is caused by
surface drainage and vegetation
growing on the banks of the canal
which is impossible to overcome with
our present facilities for the treat
ment of water.
Some facts have been collected
regarding the use of chlorine in sew
eral localities, and with the excep-
tion of Milwaukee. Wis, which is US
ing the same amount as we are, the
other cities are using considerably
more with no bad results.
We are using during the summer
months, or when the water is at its
worst, forty ounces or two and one
half pounds of chlorine to the one
million gallons going into the mains.
This is equal to one twenty-five thou
sandth of an ounce to each gallon of
water, or to make it more plain to
the individual, were you to drink one
half gallon of water each and every
day for sixty nine years, you would
have consumed one half ounce OF
chlorine, provided it had not dissOlv-
ed or evaporated before it reaches
you.
Below is a list of cities with the
amount of chlorine used in each one
million gallons of water:
Milwaukee, Wis, 21s pounds Val
paraiso, Ind, 2.57 pounds; Grea
Lakes H., pounds, ROckland, Ill
, 3 pounds; Burlington. Iowa, a to
pounds; Bangor, Maine, 3 pounds
Wakefield, Mass, pounds; Alpine
Michigan, to pounds; Ann Arbol
Michigan, s to S1a pounds; POugh
Seepsie, 3.4 pounds, Richmond, Va
y 492 pounds.
S "The death rate in Milwaukee be
. fore using chlorine was 45 to eac
e 100000 population. Decreased
o 1913 TO IL to each 10000 to in 191
i and TO AZ in 1915, to each 10000
e population.

HUNGER AND EXHAUSTION BE-
LIEYED TO BE FORCING BIRD
TO MAKE 1T APPEARANCE
THOUGHT PEACE WITHOUT VICTO-
RY" WILL PROVE PRACTICABLE
Relief Grows That Germany VIII Not
Sink Armed American Ships With
cut Warming of Fischer
Shows Startling Naval Condition.
Omitted Press)

WASHINGTON, March 13-Diplg-
mats and officials here believe that y
peace move will be launched within
the next four months and that many
elements are working to bring the
war to an end. These elements in
clude an acute food situation in all
the belligerent countries, particularly
among the Teuton nations. On the
other hand, popular unrest in the en-
tente countries is indicated by the dis
satisfaction expressed toward the cab
inets. There is it is believed, a possi-
bility of any one of the nations now
engaged in war breaking under the
strain, and the growing belief that
neither side can achieve an overwhel-
ming victory is thought to be forcing
the military pace on the western front.
1t is believed here that President Will
sons idea of peace without victory
may be a fact by July /, by which
time, it is thought, hunger and phys
ical and financial condition may COM
pei the termination of the struggle.
The belief is growing here that Ger
many viii do everything possible to
prevent the entrance Of the United
/ States into the war and that she will
take every precaution against sinking
any American armed merchant ship
without first complying with interna-
tional law.
President Wilson is still confined to
his bed, and although his condition is
gradually improving the cabinet meet
ing which was set for today has been
postponed.
Tt is expected here that China will
formally break with Germany today,
both houses of parliament in Pekin
having voted overwhelmingly for sew
erance
The plot to smuggle goods abroad
the interned ships at Philadelphia,
which resulted in the arrest of five
prominent German-Americans yester-
day assumed sinister aspect when il
was learned that Adelbert Fischer, one
of the quintet was not only rela-
tive of the Kaiser, but was an official
in a large marine engineering COM
pany at Hamburg. The agents Of the
government who Investigated the op-
erations Of the firm with which Fis-
cher is connected have discovered thai
, it made specially of American navy
contracts and that in this way it hat
amassed a huge amount of information
about the navy, including plans, spec
ifications, etc. Fischer is a German
reserve officer.

ROAD MEETING HELD
ON LILLY GRADE PLAN
Proposition To Select Committee From
Twin Falls, Bull and Jarbidge Is
Agreed Upon.

The county commissioners of Twin
Falls county and the board of highway
commissioners of the Bull Indepen-
dent road district are awaiting word
from Jarbidge before acting on their
agreement among themselves to ap-
point men to investigate the proposed
road from Jarbidge to the Negada
line and the routes from there to
Buhl and Rogerson. The joint meet
ing held at Bull last week between
the bodies named and a number of
citizens decided to urge the selection
Of committee of three, one from
Twin Falls, one from Buhl and one
from Jarbidge. On the acceptance
of this plan by Jarbidge the county
commissioners will select one man
and the commissioners of the Buhl
district another.
A number of men who travelled fire.
uuently over the routes to Jarbidge
discussed the matter of improving
the Lilly grade, which can be done
for approximately $11,500. They said
that with this improvement made.
there would be very little more work
required to fix a good road all the
way to the camp.

CLEAR LAKES WATER
PLANT IS SUGGESTED
Proposition to Be Made to City To
Supply Water From Lakes Across
River from Bull.

That a proposition to supply the
cities of Twin Falls, Buhl and Filler
with water from Clear Lakes pumped
by power supplied from the outlet of
said lakes will be made to the city
councils of the municipalities named
is a report that comes circumstan-
TALLY to the TIMES from several
sources. 1t is understood that a
survey is already provided for and
that report of an engineer emb )dy-
ing an outline of the proposed plan
will be presented to the cities inter
ested in a short time. 1t is under
stood that the surveying work viii
be done by the engineers of the Boise
Gas company.
1t is reported that the proposition
will involve the delivery of water
with possibly a proposal to give the
cities an option to purchase, at a stip-
ulated price, both power and water.
The~water is to be pumped from the
lakes into the Bull reservoir and
from there run to Filler and Twin
Falls. Buhl is about forty feet high
er than Twin Falls, owing to the
fact that this city is situated in the
Rock Creek valley and the Buhl res
ervoir is approximately $50 feet above
that city, so that the promoters are
said to have in mind the idea that a
gravity flow would carry the wat9v
to the Twin Falls reservoir. 1t has
not been definitely stated who would
put in the pipes necessary to carry
the water from Clear Lakes to Buhl
and from the Buhl reservoir to the
reservoirs in Filler and Twin Falls.
More than a year ago a survey was
Co..
pose of ascertaining whether Clear
Lakes water could be profitably used
by that municipality. 1t developed
that a lift of some 900 feet would be
necessary to carry the water from the
lakes to the Bull reservoir and a mass
meeting was called at the time of the
reception of the final report decided
that the cost would be too great fol
the city of Buhl Whether this woulC
be the case should the three cities
Join and whether the facts would sus
tain the theory that the water coulC
be grought from Buhl by gravity flow
has not been determined. Clea
, Lakes bear approximately the sam
! relation to Buhl that Blue Lakes IL
to Twin Falls.
1t is understood that the water AM
! power under the proposed plan ar
to be furnished by W. @. Hazard
who filed on them some year ago.
