T|SDALE TOMAKE
CITY WATER SOF 7
State Engineer Experimenting
at City Pumping Station
at Present Time.

II experiments being tried out
today by E. S. Tlsdale OF Charles
tho, sanitary engineer OF the State
Department Of Health, prove sue
cessful. the $1,000, 900 gallons OF
water In the city reservoir will be
soft by tomorrow night and the
hard water that has been worry
TO the people of this city will be
q thing OF the past.
1t became known today that
Mr.. Tisdale analysed some OF the
city water yesterday and has
worked out plan OF making the
water soft but the only difficulty
lin the way is whether 1t will be
possible to make the large volume
Of water in the reservoir soft.
Mayor W. w. Conway today sub
,stantiated rumor that was cur
rent that the state engineer was
working on the problem but said
he did not know with what sue
cess he had met. Mr.. Tisdale is
spending the day at the pumping
station and probably will know by
evening whether the experiment
will be successful or not.
No information was given out
at the office OF the city chemist,
Miss Afkwrlght saying that she
had nothing to give out until Mr..
Tisdale had completed his expert
ments. However, she did not deny
that an effort was being made to
make the hard water soft.
In discussing the water supply
today, Dr.. ]. A. Jamison, city
health officer, said that he believ-
ed that the water was being COL
ored by an acid entering the river
from the mines. During the sum-
mer months while the mines were
closed the water was soft and
clear under all circumstances but
analysis showed that 1t was not
pure, according to the city doctor.
Just rs soon as the mines all
started operation and large
amount Of sulphur water was
thrown into the river, which was
gradually getting lower on &C.
count Of the long drouth, the
water Immediately became free
from dangerous germs, but began
to get hard. When soap was
placed in It, 1t turned green.
Doctor Jamison IS OF the opin-
ion that the large amount Of sui
phur water in the river, which is
lower than it has been all sum-
mer, is the cause OF the water
turning green when soap is mixed
with the water. The peculiar thing
about the water is' that the dump
ing Of the sulphur water into the
river should lill all the germs and
make the water purer than 1t was
when the mines were idle.
1t Is expected that Engineer
Tisdale will make some strong
recommendations TO tho city Of
ficiQls in regard to filtration
plant for the city before he COM
pletes his work In this city.
