Urges Use Of All Three Rivers.

In emphasizing that it is not neces-
sary to build a conduit, Representa-
tive Zihlman points out several of the
special advantages from tapping the
three Patuxent valleys. First, an ulti-
mate additional supply of 100000, 900
gallons per day instead of a supply of
80. 900. 900 gallons.
Two, the three Patuxent rivers can
be developed independently as condi-
lions make necessary, thus effecting
saving in the present cost.
Three, the conduit or conduits lead
ing to the District would be con-
structed entirely in open cuts. expen-
sive tunnel construction thus would
be avoided.
Still another advantage which Rep
resentative Zihlman believes is very
important. filtered water could be de.
livered by gravity to the first high.
service zone of the District system
eliminating the cost of pumping
water to this territory. The mair
of the present gravity and first high.
service zone can be Joined and the
capacity of the distribution system
thus greatly increased. A substan.
tial increase of pressure in the pres.
ent gravity district would be eff.
fected.

Quotes Report of R. B. Morse.

The Morse report Is quoted by Rep
resentative Zihlman, as follows:
"Army engineers have already made
investigations of q project for using
water from the Patuxent river, which
contemplated impounding 1t at
point near the Columbia road. coagu-
lating 1t in q separate basin when
necessary and passing it through a
conduit partly in tunnel to the exist
ing District filter plant 1t has been
estimated that this drainage basin.
with an area of 127 square miles.
would furnish a dependable supply of
80, 900, 900 gallons of water per day.
With an average use of water I'm the
District of perhaps 65,000,000 gallons
per day, and rapidly increasing pop
ulation. with the possibility of supply
ing adjoining parts of Maryland and
perhaps Virginia, it might seem
Questionable policy to make use of
stream which could yield only So,oOO,-
900 day."
Pointing out the advantage of using
also the Middle and Little Patuxent
rivers, making this an ultimate project
while performing the construction
work in parts as the necessity de-
yeIoped, Representative Zihlman again
quotes from the Morse report, say
ing:
TT would be possible with about
the same reservoir capacity per square
mile to attain a total of 100000 gal
Ions per day from these two streams.
which would be made up of 100000
gallons from the Middle Patuxent and
Is, 100000 from the Little Patuxent.
making the yield from the three
Patuxent rivers 160,000,000 gallons a
day, which would be sufficient for the
use of at least an additional million
of people to the present population
of the District and the surrounding

his 240-acre ranch in Geneva 10 Ar
mold Boehme, left with his family
last Saturday for the Boise valley
where they will make their future
home. Mr.. Tueller having purchased
a 50-acre farm five miles from the
capital city. Mr.. Tueller had been Il

while he has been successful In farm
ing there. he concluded that he could
do as well, or better. in farming few
er acres In the Boise valley. Mr.
Tueller also believes that his health
will be better in lower altitude, as
he has been quite poorly for several
months past.

lers. but trusts that they will meet
with good health and prosperity in
their new home. The Examiner Will

ington than has been done in all the
years past. He found considerable
land had beeh marked for clear list
ing as far back as 1904, but owing
to some irregularities is descriptions
or for some other trivial reason,
these tracts had been piegon-holed
Mr.. Nash succeeded in getting these
irregularities Strengthened out and
these sections will now be exchanged
for land that will be of some value to
the state.
Mr.. Nash speaks highly of the
treatment accored him by the inter-
lior department. Competent clerks
were placed at his service, which ma
terially assisted him with the work.
In speaking of the situation in
congress, Mr.. Nash said tension was
at a high pitch in the senate over
the league of nations. Senator Bor-
ah, he said, was about the busiest
man in the senate. He is recognized
as the rapid fire" debator ON the
republican side of the senate, and
when 1t is kno wn that he is to talk
on this questio IN there are very few
vacant seats in the senate chamber.
Although he invites questions during
his arguments, the opposition sena-
ators very rarely interrupt him.
To give some idea of the magni-
tude of the amount of mail Sena-
tor borah receives, his private Sec
retary informed Mr.. Nash that in ono
month nearly 5000 letters came to
him. During the month he was in
Washington Mr.. Nash was abIe to
have only ono short interview with
the senator.
Messrs. Nash and Marshall went
10 preston yesterday, where they are
conducting land sale today.

l. H. Nash, state land commission
er. sisted by George T. Marshall of
Blackfoot. conducted the sale of state
lands in Paris last Wednesday, as per
the advertisement which has appear
ed in the Examiner for the past
month.
Despite the bad roads and cold
weather, there was large attendance
at the sale and the bidding was spir-
tied. A total of 2,76O acres were sold
at an average price of $22.36 per ac-
re. The highest price paid was $50
for 40-acre tract. The total receipts
of the sale were SCI, 1880. OF this
amount $8,02O.77 was cash. AL
though practically all of the tracts Of
fered for sale were grazing lands,
and only few had improvements on
them, nearly every tract sold for
more than the appraised value.
Mr.. Nash arrived in Montpelier
last Tuesday from Washington, d. c.,

clear-listing state lands. He succeed

worthless for grazing and practically
of no value to the state. These sec

compact bodies of grazing and tim

state will thus be able to derive a rev.

our suggestions for the Improvement
OF the service have gone unheeded,
and such mess has been made OF

are simply disgusted and are going

AS an example of Russian inef-
ficiency he recited the following In
stance:
Right here at the First River
shops there are az engines that are
out OF commission because some
small part is missing or broken. We
made a survey OF the engines and re-
ported that by dismantling eight OF
the engines the other - could be
used, and as engines are as scarce as
hens teeth In this country. But tho
Russians said that they were waiting
for parts from the United States and
couldn't think OF doing things as
we suggested. They are still walt
ing"
"Another--we installed a retiring
machine at First River to put new
tires on cars and engine wheels.
Since the establishment OF the road
they have been sending their cars
to omsk for re-tireing. We explained
the working Of the machinery to tho
Russians here and they tackled one
job and then quit. Nov they are
sending the old cars clear across 81
beria TO get new tires because that =
what they have always done.
We installed a complete telephone
dispatchIng system. and the receivers
are gathering cob-webs on the hooks.
We worked out a time schedule for
