Two Object Lessons

Prescott has mad two object les sons in the necessity of waking up and authorizing the revision of the entire water system. One came in the annual report of the retiring mayor. H. w. Heap, last winter, and the other arrived ill June, when it became necessary to begin pumping water from Granite creek at a point where the flow had passed practically completely through the city. Fear that the water thus pumped might carly contagion caused the city
 health department under Dr. H. T. Soutlworth to order the boiling of all the water for drinking purposes.
 Prescott is about to engage in a campaign of street paving, which
 though confined to one district now
 gives every indication of spreading over the business section at least Before paving is put down, both the water and sewer systems and the ga: and electric conduits should bt brought strictly up to date. It X Iconsidered too sanguine to figure ol having d population of 2O,OOO righ

SIBERIA PRAISED . BY SOLDER OF YAVAPAI

Bob Leonard, d stoncmason of Prescott when war with Germany was declared, mas arrived at Haines, Oregon, from which place he writes to Austin Mulvenon of this city an interesting letter after serving i'll Si- beria with the Canadian army. He made application for service ill the American army, but was rejected of account of his age, when he went to Vancouver and was accepted to serve under the British flag. Part of his letter is as follows:
 "Six of us Americans, after again becoming civilians, heaved our uni forms out of tine back window of the hotel, and believe me, we sure de rived a great amount of satisfaction thereby. Next to beating up a non com., t certainly was joyous oc- cason. The allied commanders ln Siberia believe the Czechs will get control. but they are badly misled.

By J. H. ROBINSON Clerk of the City of Prescott

While we are on the subject ot improvements, it would be well for the citizens and taxpayers of this city to take into consideration the mater of water, and also that the water mains are in a bad state of presrvatiodn, and that almost 40 per cent of the water pumped is wasted, through leakage, and great number should be replaced immediately. It is keeping two men constantly em- ployed repairing leaks; the old mains being mostly of steel, have outlived their usefulness, and money spent on them IS only thrown away. The en- tire system should be replaced in the near future and i'll a great many cases larger pipe installed, as the pipe is inadequate for fire protection such as should be given to a city which we will have ill the next five years.
  Del Rio, a distance of 2l miles, at an elevation of HOO feet and under an approximate pressure of about zoo pounds.
 1t seems too bad to let the good water go by the city and then pump it back Up hill, at cost of from | $2,GOO to $2,500 per month, to say nothing of the depreciation, espec- ially after five different engineers and one of them of national reputa- ton in the construction of city water works and systems, have reported ia vorabIy upon storage proposition.
 The Del Rio plant, consisting ot the power line, pipe line and pump ing engines, are too small to supply this city at present, and they are now getting over 5Oper cent of their water in the summer months from south of the city and almost the entire amount in winter from the south.
 It would cost about $400,000 to put the Del Rio plant in shape to be i reliable, and then the city would be under the continual expense of pump ing still.
 Two Storage Dams For the $2OO,OOO to S2OO,OOO a se- ries of storage dams could be con structed south of the city, and high enough to bring the water in by gravity, so that all of the pumping expense could be eliminated. The city council has made start ill this direction in ordering the pipe line from the Thorbecke Springs to the s city, length of about three miles tc be rebuilt, the six inch line to be re, placed witr ten inch line. At the present time the six inch line vii not carry the water that has beer developed by the municipality, ant as soon as this line is completed { large saving will be made.
 Surveys Being Made
 The surveys for dams and pipe lines south of the city are not com pleted as to cost, but with the con struction of d dam on Banning crees and another on Groom creek, with main pipe line from the dams tc S Prescott, and laterals from severa
 springs which are now owned by thu city, an adequate supply can be had
 The storage dams would hold iron 6O,OOO,OOO to 75,OOOOOO gallons eacl
 and with living water now obtained
 this would no doubt give Prescott V water supply for 10000 people, ant = at a cost not to exceed S300,00O. f Water is what makes city.

Another important move ment is the retaining of the cele- brated springs along the Agua Fria river for resort, and this matter will soon be crystaIized by the form ing of company, one of the prln- cipaIs making an inspection last week and acquiring all the ground open Mir.
