Trying to Conserve Water.

So many Northern Pacific trains
were taking water at Rathdrum that
by Sunday night the city reservoir
was drained, and on Tuesday the
hoard Of village trustees took
measures, in the interest OF the public
safety against fire. to cut of the
supply TO the N p. tank after giving
two hours notice by wire to the
division superintendent.
% the meantime, the railway
company was asked to have tae leak
in the tank checked, IA considerable
amount Of water having been
noticed going TO waste there. In a
letter to AgentO~ Il, Gillespie, Civil
Engineer ]. o. Koren stated that
the records sh0w that the railway
company had pipe laid years ago to
supply the tank by pumping from
the creek. For the present the
trains are taking water at other
points along the line.
After one week of 3O-minute
sprlnkllng, the board on Monday
again issued orders stopping all use
Of city water for sprinkling and
irrigating.
Two civil engineers of the N. P.
railway company were here Wednes-
day, looking over the situation.

The plight Of Poland is arresting
the attention of the world. Last
year the armies of this new repub-
lie which western Europe hopes to
see erected as buffer state against
Russia, were everywhere victorious
against the Russian bolsheviki.
Russia finally offered to make
peace; but the Poles were ambi-
tious and began conquests in the
south. Now the fortunes of war
have changed. The soviet armies
are laundering at the gates
of Warsaw and Poland in her
turn finds her offer of peace refused
by the now victorious enemy.
Unless the western nations inter
vene, Poland may fall again under
Russian domination. If they do
intervene, western Europe may be
involved in a great war against
Russia.

the teachers demurred. They thought
they were Overworked enough as it
was. Later one of them told her chill

conditions and a full head they
should be able to DELIVER los gallons
and - gallons per minute, respec-
lively. In one hour, both working
together, these two nozzles are capa-
bic Of delivering 10000 gallons of
water.
Assuming that a fire might require
four hours of continual fighting, then
AZ, 720 gallons would be required.
No fire that Rathdrum has ever had
since the installation of the present
water system has required so much.
A reservoir nine feet square and
seven feet in depth will hold this
amount and will require just three
hours for the stream at its present
rate of flow to fill. In other words,
the present rate of flow of the source
of our water system is in excess Of
any probable demand upon it for fire
protection.
1t is easy to criticise. Any one can
do that and any article that does not
suggest remedy is hardly worthy
of consideration.
The immediate need is for more
water and at once. A temporary
wooden hume IL inches wide and 6
inches deep and about 200 feet in
length covering the seepage area and
conducting to the intake pipe itself
should give some relief.
Next construct a reservoir mot a
damn about 100 feet farther up the
creek from the present dam with a
capacity sufficient to supply the
present fire equipment with both
hose running at the same time for
a period of two days. Arrange to
have all of the water flow into this
reservoir and the overflow only going
into the present dam. 1t should be
SO connected that in the event of q
fire the new reservoir could be
drawn upon for its reserve supply.
Such a reservoir would be about
80 feet square and 8 feet deep. Il
should be constructed of stone anC
lined with concrete and should cos
in the neighborhood Of $1,000.
Later, make reservoir out of the
present dam by adding another side
wall and putting in cement bottom
We would then have two reser
voirs and either could be cleaned
without endang ering the supply.

OUR WATER SUPPLY.

Their up stream measurements showed
q inches, while at a point near the
old log dam, about 300 feet above
the concrete dam | found a. flow Of
20 inches.
AT various other points above l
found an average flow of about ~
miners inches.
These measurements convinced
me that there was a loss of nearly IS
in volume Of flow in the hast two or
three hundred feet above the dam.
A miners inch has various values
assigned it dependent upon the con-
ditions under which measurements
are taken. The method used here
will give flow of ll.o25 gallons per
minute or lo740 gallons per day. If
we estimate the requirements of each
inhabitant at 200 gallons per day,
one inch of water is sufficient to sup
ply SO people. A flow of 20 miners
inches would supply a village Of
1860 people. This latter figure ex-
ceeds Rathdrum population twice
over. A flow of 2;3 inches would
furnish an abundant supply of water
for 1924 souls.
This was my first visit to the
Rathdrum reservoir during the last
four years. Prior to that date | had
made numerous tri Ups to the reservoir
site and taken number of measure
ments at various times. | never saw
the flow so weak before, yet there is
an abundant supply for present
needs if properly taken care Of This
abnormal shrinkage is not to be
wondered at when we realize that the
precipitation during the past year is
8. 5 inches below normal. 1t NAV
never happen again. 1t is apt to be
very much lower during the present
month.
Only fewt years ago engineers
estimated the amount of water re-
quired for consumption in modern
cities at 200 gallons per day for each
inhabitant and in villages of Rath-
drums class this is amply sufficient,
even now. Some of our more up to-
date cities exceed this at the present
time owing to requirements OF round
houses, manufacturing plants, mo-
tors, engines, sewers, etc. =.
The city of Spokane during last
month used the enormous amount OF
1,400, 100000 gallons or 400 gallons
for each inhabitant per day. This
far exceeded the amount ever used
before during a ) like period in the
history of the city.
To realize just what we do use in
Rethdrum, consider the following
tests made at my place during the
sprinkling period on Monday even
ing of this week. The pressure in
the part of town in which. live is as
strong as in any part of the village.
