Cold, dry weather, with plenty of
furnaces and stoves going full blast
and no protective covering of snow
on the roofs is the ideal weather for
fires, according to the firemen.
If there had been high winds blow
ing, there wouldn't have been much

 A Blow at the Soap Industry
 Several things regarding the char acter of the water have been deter mined by laboratory tests in the of- flee of the city engineer and among them is the development that Verde water is blow at the soap industry. It has been ascertained that there have been annually sold in Phoenix 100000 pounds of soap and a huge but indefinite volume of compounds for softening water. Only one third as much soap will be used in Verde water as in the present Phoenix wa ter and the washing compounds will not be needed at all.
 Housewives are requested to con- duct test for themselves. Let them take a quantity of the water and as-

work which was actively begun in August of 1920, and has been ac- lively carried on ever since. There is a little more work to be done by the city at the intake; that will probably not be completed before | February but the incompleteness will not interfere with the water supply since a great deal more Wa ter has been developed there than 1 the experts had estimated when they 1 made their computations. There is no city in the United States that will have better water than that of the Verde, by all the scientific tests which are applied to the determination of the purity ot water. It will contain only B parts of total solids in 100000 parts, as against 165 parts solid in the pres ent Phoenix water, and against 35.5 parts of Owen river water which supplies Los Angeles. John '. Sparks, consulting chemist of New York, after an early analysis of the water of the Verde, said of it: The quality of Verde water is not mate rially surpassed by any supply else were throuSlout the country. Analyses made since then nave shown a presence of a. slightly less volume of solids, while the solids o1 the present supply have increased owing to the rise of the water level in the valley.
 The Genesis
 The investigation of future wa ter supply for Phoenix was begun in 1908 when Lincoln Fowler, chair man of the water works board brought here Alexander Potter. consulting engineer of New York, to
 ha HitU MT Potter's inquiry covered wells Tn the vicinity of Phoenix and in the Orangewood district north of the citv. and the Hassayampa. Agua FTria and the Verde rivers as sources of a gravity supply. He unqualified " recommended to tfe water board inc Verde river as the only source from which it was practical 10 se- cure an adequate supply Of soft water.
 rrhornpson. then superintendent of the water works, made investigations of every proposed source and satis- ...sied himself that the Verde river was the only practical one from which Phoenix could obtain water that would be satisfactory both in quan- titv and quality. Later Hiram phil1ins a noted water works and consulting engineer of St Louis, was bY.o1Ight here to investigate proposed sources of supply. On the recon r7endation of MT. Phillips q local en- gineer was employed l. make the -Il- Iestieation That was done by How ard $. Reed. whose report wa Checked by Mir, Phillips who agreed r1-itb him and Mir. Potter that the Verde % river proposition should be de. veloped.
 -dncted bv City Manager R. A S,.aig and City Engineer J. B. Gi TanI with similar results. The fina cbecking up was accomplished b, William l.. Church, consulting engf neer of New York. He finally agreed v-ith all of the investigators and de r1ared that the only practical sup nIv was a gravity supply taken iron the surface flow of the Verd at a point about 8 miles by the pip line above Phoenix. That is tn

much lumber, but the pipe at that point of construction being subjected to less pressure, required fewer bands. There are 12,000 feet of the 60 inch concrete pipe.
 The pipe line does not follow a gradual slant, nor does it always slant downward. One travelling along it frequently sees 1t humping up before him and wonders that the water should run uphill. But of course, at no point does it rise so high as to escape the pressure Of the water at the point where the line emerges to the surface of the ground three miles below the intake.
 The original design for the new system included a storage reservoir and that feature is still retained: but on account of the rising prices of materials after the work was un- dertaken, the installation of that was postponed as something not imme- diately necessary. though with the growth of the city it will become

certain how much soap they need for certain purpose; then take the same volume of water and one third as much soap when the same result will be obtained. These proportions of soap apply only to the two waters after they have been boiled. In the raw Verde water it will require about half as much soap. The say ing in soap alone will amount to a considerable sum annually. probably covering a considerable part of the interest on the bonds.
 Other Savings
 .Other advantages which may not be so nearly expressed in dollars and cents are the decrease in the wear and tear on the plant due to the quality of water in the mains; the decrease in plumbing bills because of the increased life of fixtures due to of the purity of the new water sup ply; increased life of linens. fan nels and other fabrics because of the quality of the water: increase in the

pipe line through which the water is flowing this morning.
 The Actual Beginning
 Everything was now ready, but the money that was raised by an issue of s1.300,000 in bonds voted oh July Is, 1919. Later, on account of the rise in prices of materials, a supple mental issue was voted. The bonds were sold, the money made available, bids were advertised for and a con tract was let in March of 1920. The work of construction was actually begun in August of last year. Though there were no great engineering diff faculties to overcome, there were un- expected delays so that the pipe line was not finished to the city until September of this year.
 The contract for the laying of the pipe was let to the Redwood Manu-

that point is nearly on a level with the line which has run below the surface from a depth of 2S feet at the intake to constantly decreasing depths.
 This work was carried on under the direct supervision of City Engi- neer L. B. Hitchcock and the gen eral supervision of City Manager Thompson. The elaborate drawings are the work of Assistant City Engi- neer J. E. Sellers.
 Here are some interesting figures: For 10000 feet the redwood pipe is 3S inches in diameter and beyond that 36 inches. In the making of the pipe line the Redwood Manufactur- ing company used 1,600.000 feet of lumber and employed 300,Qo0 steel bands. The Pacific Tank and Pipe company used approximately as

The long looked for living waters or the Verde are pouring through the mains of Phoenix this morning. Though some Verde water had been allowed to come down the pipe line 10 the northeastern part of the city where the line enters, the formal opening of the new system will be- gin taking place today. But Verde water, notwithstanding its abun- dance, will not immediately extend to every part of the city, for the 125 miles of water mains are already filled and their contents must be displaced. That will take little time.
 This is the continuation of proj- ect that had it's inception more than Is years ago when investigations of an outside and gravity water sup ply were begun. It is the end of a

From the middle of this stretch of pipe the pipe line begins. It consists also of 60 inch concrete pipe which is laid flat with open joints for distance of 4,250 feet. Then there is an other stretch of 7.646 feet of pipe of the same kind, the joints being closed. The stretch of open joint pipe ends at point where the line comes to the top of the underground surface

 The city was unable to secure bids on the intake, so that it undertook that work itself and has carried it on without a nishap. The excava- ton for it was made to depth of 2S feet below the ground surface and about 15 feet below the under ground water surface, in the water

 General Pershing drove away with
 the Duke of Connaught, passing the statue of Lincoln. General Pershing then proceeded to the Cenotaph, Eng lands monument to her soldier dead, where he was received by Sir Henry Wilson and General Sir George Mac Donogh.
