Waterworks Report Filed
By Consulting Engineer
Louis C.Ke/sey Yesterday

Miner sources are gravity systems;
Blue Lakes, pumping proposition.
Blue Lakes have greatly increased
in flow during the past few years, the
increase being attributed to seepage
from irrigation, and the State Board
of Health advises against this source
unless proper publication methods be
provided
(See report in City files)
The water from the canals, Snake
River water, is chemically almost as
desirable as that from Blue Lakes,
and is an excellent quality of water
for city use. AS in the case of Blue
Lakes, this water will require purifi-
cation treatment.
The water from Rock Creek is the
best of all examined. and this offers
the most desirable source. The amount
of water flowing in the creek during
the summer is far too small, however
to use this as an all year source, anc

The estimates for the Blue Lakes

day. The other source upon a basis
of 0,500,000 per gallons per day. The
city is now using in the summer about
100000 per day.

The enlargement of the reservoir to
about twice it's present capacity, built
of reinforced concrete, and rooted and
otherwise guarded to keep the water
cool and free from contamination. 1t
is planned in two sections so that one
can be cleaned without interrupting
the service, and has a complete sys-
TEN of gates and pipes to facilitate its
economical and safe care and opera
ton.
A liberation plant of the modern
mechanical type, complete in every
respect, and capable of removing from
the water all germs vegetable and
other matter, and leaving it pure.
wholesome and sweet, and free from
any OdOr. In addition, and as an eX-
ira safeguard, the chlorine plant now
owned by the city will be installed for
use as needed.
The water is to be conveyed to the
city from the liberation plant by two
20 inch mains, insuring against inter
ruption of service as the possibility
of any trouble with both of them al
the same time is very remote. These
mains are of the wooden stave type
of the highest class material and tC
be laid under careful specifications.
The distribution system about the
city is through mains gradually di
minishing in size toward the outer
parts of the city. no main being O
less than four inches. The system il

4. recommendations (a) That the
High Line Rock Creek source be Sc
lected for the reasons that it is the |
cheapest to build, and the cheapest |
to maintain; that it's depreciation is
less; that the quality of water for
winter use is the best to be had. and |
that the supply for summer will, by
the same treatment, be rendered Just
as satisfactory for use as any of the
other sources; that it is a gravity
system.
(b) That the point of taking from
the canal be changed to the High Line
to avoid the waste water from the ir-
rigated district between Hansen and
the present point that the water from
Rock Greek will require a pipe line
to bring it to the reservoir. and pipe
does not deteriorate under constant
use as it would if used only during a
part of the year and allowed to be
empty the rest.
(c) That the present distribution
system be abandoned as soon as a new
one can be installed for the reasons
that it is entirely inadequate in size
for even the present needs of the city
is in a bad state of repairs. and would
be a patch work job at the end, and
expensive to maintain.
Id That the new distribution sys-
tenn. the supply system, and the lead
from the source to the reservoir, be
made large enough when laid to pro-
vide for all anticipated growth of the
city, the extra cost of the larger pip
| ing being less than that of laying a
smaller set now. and another smaller
set when needed, and the system as
| MANNED will be permanent
(e) That wooden stave mains of
high grade be used except in the bust
ness district. because when properly
made and laid they are serviceable,
and durable, and cost much less than
metal.

upkeep:

CUTTING HAIR OF ROYALTY
in Some Countries II is Performed
With About as Much Ceremony
as Is Wedding.

In some eastern countries children's
hair is not cut until they are ten or
twelve years of age, the girls then be-
ing considered manageable. Up TO
that time it is cOiled on the top of
the head and adorned with fresh flow
ers.
When the day for cutting comes,
there is a grand ceremony, accompan-
led by much feasting.
One who was present at a royal
hair-cutting tells us that the favoMte
of the harem was robed in long, flow
ing garments of silk and lace, confined
at the waist by golden girdle. Her
long hair, coiled for the last time, was
fastened with diamond pins, which
cleaned and glittered among fresh
white flowers and green leaves like
pearly drops of morning dew.
There, in the presence of the ladies',
her father and an officiating priest,
surrounded by her maidens, some 200
in number, she knelt under a canopy
of flowers and leaves while prayers
were chanted.
Then, the beautiful tresses being I'M
bound, her royal father, dipping his
fingers in rosewater and drawing them
caressingly over her head, clipped off
about an eighth of an inch of hair and
threw it into golden basin, deposit
ing at the same time, on a great salver
placed ready to receive them, presents
of jewels and gold.
The priest cut the next piece, her
mother the next, and so on, each guest
serving in turn until the little lady was
shOrn.
All gave costly gifts, intended for
her marriage dower-princes, minis
tiers of state and dlgnitaries of all
sorts, who waited in the outer courts,
sending in theirs by attendants. The
day ended in feasting and a display of
reworks.-Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
