IDEAL CONDITIONS
 IF WATER SUPPLYAT
 VERDE, II |S SAID

Judged only by appearances, Phoe- nix has always had a magnificent water supply, clear as crystal, reasonably cCol, and most inviting, as compared with the odorous and discolored ap- pearance of water in many cities where perhaps, the chemical contents would be as pure as in Phoenix. According to City Manager Thompson, Phoenix is subject for congratulation, there fore, that the proposed new water sup ply from the Verde river will be as crystal clear as any water on earth, and with the added advantage of al most perfect purity-as healthful drinking water as can be found in any American city.
 It will be of interest to the public. MT. Thompson states to learn in the common English of the laity, rather than the technical terms of the engi- reer, of the practically perfect protec- tion from contamination naturally pro- vided for this water supply. Ordinary deep wells have their disadvantage and their embarrassing expenses, while it goes without saying that no water can run far in an open channel without in lection, contamination of air. drift, wild animals, cattle or other foreign sub stances Except where it bubbles from glacier, there is more or less senti- ment about the boasted purity of the mountain stream
 All water is normally purified or it's deficiencies restored by some sort of filtration or percolation through the proper materials. Once provided in that manner. the only problem is to maintain it's sequestratiOn until it reaches the consumer The conditions for these results are said to be ideal at the Verde site.
 The river at that point presents catchment basin sufficiently large for an unlimited water supply. The plan is not to tap the river at that point but across the bench, perhaps l .0OO feet away from the open stream. A series of wells will be sunk to whatever depth required. A water-bearing stratum some five or six feet in thickness runs from the river bank a few feet below the surface back to the river bench. Several feet below there is another stratum bearing such volume of water that it's quantity has not yet been measured.
 Chambers, or series of chambers, will be excavated to the required depth where the water will enter the pipe lines, to be carried by gravity sys- tenn to the city of Phoenix.
 It $ readily seen, MT. Thompson states, that whether the river is in flood or in drouth, the supply is always ample, is always clarified by it's perco- lation from the river to the bench lands. and if the water were contam- mated in the open catchment basin. which is normally as free from it as any open stream could be, it's purity would be restored before it reached the diversion chambers. There is a com bination of the volume of the open stream and the scientific protection of the deep water underground flow. In other words, it is as pure in it's physical characteristics as it fortunately appears to be in it's chemical constituents, re sulting in an ideal water supply.

IN
STEEL STRIKE
UNCHANGED

PITTSBURG, Oct. 1.-Nothing de-
veloped in the steel strike in the Pitts
burg district to materially change the
situation. Strike leaders and their or
ganizers showed the usual activity in
their campaign to further cripple the
big plants. Steel company officials
had little information to impart except
the daily claim that more men are
constantly applying for work.
The Carnegie company maintains its
big works at Homestead, DuQuesne,
Braddock and Clarion continue to in
crease production. Reports that men
are returning to work in increasingly
larger numbers also came from points
outside of Pittsburg and vicinity.
Satisfactory progress" was the
word given out at national strike head
quarters.
While the steel strike in the Chicago
district dragged along today with
claims that several hundred workers
had gone back to the mills, and union
leaders asserting their ranks had sus-
Fitzpatrick, chairman of the strike
committee, was on his way to Wash
ington. Friends of the strike leader
said he might appeal to President Will
son to take some hand in the strike.
1t was generally believed, however,
that he went chiefly to discuss the
strike with Samuel Gompers, president
Of the American Federation of Labor.
Before he left Fitzpatrick said the
strikers could so along six months as
they have been, without work.
At the Gary. Indiana, mills, 400 men
were reported to have returned to

were said to have been added to the

AviatOrs Missing
Since August 70,
Believed Found
Two Men Arriving in Noga-
les Claim to Have Found
Corpses of What Thought
to Be Waterhouse and
Connolly.

NOGALES, Ariz., Oct. 1.-The bod
les of two men dressed in American
army uniform, believed to be Lieu
tenants Frederick B. Waterhouse ana
Cecil H. Connolly, the two aviators
from Rockwell field, who disappeared
August 20 while on border patrol
duty between Yuma, Ariz., and San
Diego, Calf, were found September
23 in the Bay of Los Angeles, about
300 miles south of San Diego, by Joe
Allen Richards of Chicago and Will
lam Rose, according to information
they gave military authorities upon
their arrival here late tonight from
Guaymas.
The two men were questioned close
ly upon their arrival by the military
authorities and Lieutenant Scott Is
rael, military intelligence officer, said
they were assured that the bodies
found were those OF the missing avia-
tors. Both bodies were attired in the
regulation army uniform, with over
alls over the uniform. The insignia
of both men had been removed from
their uniforms and was found in their
pockets.
Mexicans who talked to Richards
and Rose near where the bodies were
found told them an airplane had LAND
ed on Guadalupe mesa, about fifteen
miles inland. What appeared to be
a blood stain was found on the under
shirt of the shorter Of the two men,
which led to the conclusion that the
men probably had been attacked and
killed while making their way from
their landing place to the shore.

Treaty Discussion May Pos
sibly End Within IA Days

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE first
vote on amendments to the German

Democratic leaders declared tonight
that all of the amendments would be
beaten. Some Republicans admitted
privately that this claim was correct,
but emphasized that the vote could
not be an accurate test Of the lineup
