those lofty mountains which sep
arate the State from California.
Most Of the history Of the state
centers In this Western section,
near the Sierras, and 1t is here
that oil of Nevada's principal
cities are located.
The first white man to cross
the present state was the Fran.
ciscan Monk, Father Cares, who
made his way across the deserts
TO California In 1775. In 1926
Peter s. Ogden Of the Hudson's
Bay company discovered the
Humboldt river, which Is some
times called Ogden river after
him.
The next memorable trip
across the state was that by
Fremont in 1S43, when he went
TO California at the time Of the
outbreak of the Mexican war.
II was this war which In 184S
resulted In Mexico ceding large
area TO the United States, of
which Nevada was part. When
this was organized into terri
tories, the Territory Of Utah ex-
tended to California. The West
ern inhabitants, however, were
left to their own resources and
accordingly organized their own
government. Resenting the at
titude OF Utah they petitioned
to be annexed TO California.
In 1859 the Comstock Lode
was discovered and Nevada had
its own mining boom. Popula-
lion Immediately grew by leaps
and bounds and In 1851 Nevada
was formed into a separate ter
ritory. Later, portions of Utah
were added and the lower part
OF the state was taken from Ari-
IONA. Petitions for statehood
were made but II was not until
1864 that Nevada became the
thirty-sixth state OF the Union.
Though Nevada ranks sixth
in size with its area of 110,690
square miles, it has the smallest
population of any Of the AZ
states. Between 1900 and 1900
there was a marked decrease in
the population due TO the falling
off Of mining industry.

BIC IMPROVEMENT IN
BUSINESS DISTRICT
DURING PAST YEAR

Phoenix business district In the
past year has greatly improved in
general appearance and is today on
a par with many cities of larger
population. The class of business
buildings now generally found in this
city is of modern, Class A construc-
ton.
The completion OF many new build
ings during the past year has filed
out the downtown business section
and has enlarged it considerably in
all directions. Many buildings of an
older type of construction were COM
pletely remodeled and brought up
todate during the past year. The
alteration and Improvement Of IA
cades cleaning, painting or replaster-
ing Of old buildings have given to the
streets upon which they are located
a more cleancut appearance.
The removal of number Of un-
slightly wooden porches, built during
the early days, has also been long
step toward making TIE Phoenix bus
mess district the neatest in the
Southwest. In most cases the razed
porches and canvas awnings were re-
placed with modern fireproof steel
awnings.
Phoenix merchants have also real
lied the Importance of window dress
ing and nearly every window down
town has an interesting decorative
display in it. Street lights and paw
ing throughout the business district
and beyond also add to the appear
ance of good business, and at night
the many lights and busy traffic en-
livens the whole district.
The business section in the past
year has grown considerably in all
directions, but it has made especial
progress to the north and westward.
Many of the city's largest buildings
have been built in this direction
and others are planned for the fu-
ture. 1t cannot be said that Phoenix
is growing in any one direction, how
ever, ass it is rapidly advancing in
all directions, only more progress
has been made in certain districts.
Much property in the city which
was considered residential up until
a few years ago, have during the
past year, been transferred to the
business property column.

protection. There are about 1000 feet
where this precautionary measure has
been taken. OF this stretch, COS feet
are protected by d nlne-root back
wall sloping from the bank to the in
take, and the remaining S92 feet are
Reinforced by heavy concrete wall
on both sides Of the intake.
Flows BY Gravity
|" From the sand trap the waters of
the Verde flow by gravity through
the 80 miles of redwood pipe to the
junction point with the city water
main system. The pipe line is the
great artery Of the project, just as
the intake is its heart.
Though as much of the pipe line
as possible was placed under ground
so as not to be exposed, there were
portions where this proved imprac-
tical, IN some places the extreme rock
formations precluding excavation. At
other points a path had to be blown
through the solid rock OF mountain,
where cliffs rear on one side and on
the other narrow road, constructed
by the workers, ends in steep banks
that drop away to the Verde river.
The Redwood pipe line connects
with the city mains at Mcdowell road
and Twelfth street, running east on
the former tc Sixteenth street, on
which it turns north and continues
one mile to Thomas road, following
that for ten miles when it strikes the
Salt River reservation and cuts across
thirteen miles to Granite Reef, lit
tie beyond which it takes the four
mile sweep around Mcdowell noun
tain and then practically follows the
river through the reservation to the
intake point, where it joins the 1900
feet of concrete intake pipe.
For the first eleven miles after
leaving its junction with the city dis
tributing mains, the redwood line is
under ground, lying in excavations
which are fire feet deep. Then at the
end Of the Thomas road it emerges
and runs above ground for two miles,
hard rock formation impeding sub
terrestrial work After this two miles
the big line dips out of sight again.
On Thomas road the pipe line is
built under the Arizona canal and also
goes under the Grand canal, the next
ii meets. At the old cross cut canal
it was found that the better method
would be above ground, so the line
is covered over on the other side.
When the line reaches the new cross
cut canal, which it crosses under
ground. an overflow valve has been
constructed. This permits surplus
water to be diverted into the canal
when for any reason the supply is
turned off in the city.
Relief Valve
Sixteen miles from the city, in the
Salt River reservation, a stand pipe,
A feet over the redwood line, was
constructed, designed as a mammoth
relief valve which will ease the strain
on the pipe when a main valve is
closed. Instead of tremendous
pressure against the pipe, the water
will back up and flow from the top
of the relief valve over the desert.
The line goes above the Arizona
canal twenty miles from the city
point of contact and at Granite Reef
another half mile is built above
ground with an additional half mile
just beyond this point, where the line
begins its wide swing around Nc
Dowell mountain and follows the

VERDE WATER SYSTEM GREATEST
CIVIC IMPROVEMENT Of PHOENIX
AT Cost Of Nearly Million and Half Dollars Purest OF
Water From Mountain Stream Is Brought Down
For Use of People, Ample for Years

! for the city was begun by Lincoln
| Fowler, chairman of the waterworks
board Mr.. Fowler brought out Alex
ander Potter, a noted New York con-
sulting engineer, to make a survey.
After considering several possible
methods, including wells near town
and in what is now the Orangewood
district, and gravity systems from
the Aqua Fria, Hassayampa and Yer
de rivers, Potter recommended the
Verde as the most satisfactory source
of a water supply. His report was
based on the quality and more than
ample supply OF water and the COM
paratively low cost of a gravity sys-
tenn, involving only the initial expen-
diture.
First Move In 1912
In 1912 City Manager V. A. Thomp-
son, then superintendent of the wa
terworks, made Investigations of every
proposed source for a water supply
and satisfied himself that the Verde
river was the only one from which
the city could obtain water satisfac-
tory in both quantity and quality.
Later Hiram Phillips, a well known
consulting engineer of st. Louis was
brought here to investigate the pro-
posed sources. He recommended the
appointment OF local engineer to
make the investigation, and Howard
S. Reed was chosen. His report was
checked by Mr.. Phillips, both agree
ing the Verde system should be de-
veloped.
In 1915 another investigation was
conducted by City Manager r. A.
Craig and City Engineer j. B. Grand,
with the same result. The final
checking up was made by William l..
Church, consulting engineer of New
York. He agreed with the previous
reports and declared the only practi-
cal solution of the water supply
question was a gravity system taking
water from the sub-surface flow Of
the Verde at point about S3 miles
from Phoenix by pipe line.
Thus the Verde system was de-
cided upon definitely, and considera-
tion was turned to financing the pro-
ject. This was done by a bond issue
of $780, 900 voted by an oyerwheim-
ing majority in July, 1919, The bonds
were sold, call for bids issued, and
the contract let in March, 1920, con-
struction actually beginning five
months later. Some months after
ward a supplemental bond issue was
voted for increased material since
the first issue having necessitated ad-
ditional funds.
Award Contract
The contract for the laying OF the
pipe line was awarded to the Red
wood Manufacturing company Of San
Francisco and the Pacific Tank and
Pipe company Of that city. redwood

pipe being adopted after an exhaus-
tive investiga ton. This pipe line, 81
miles in length, was finished last
September.
Meanwhile the city was unable to
obtain bids for the intake, so It un-
dertoox the work itself, starting
year ago last month. B B, Boyd OF
San Diego furnished the concrete pipe
used In tf.ts work. Duri IL the COLI
struction Of the whole system not one
accident o, CURED to man or beast.
The simple method employed to tap
the Verdes water is easily the feature
of the intake system, for II amounts
to nothing more than offering the
water a path of least resistance
through the big concrete pipe instead
of the soil strata. The excavation Tor
the intake was made to maximum
of 2S feet below the ground surface
and about Is feet below the UNDER
ground water surface, in the water
bearing strata consisting OF SAND,
gravel and boulders. In this there
is laid toward the river but not to 1t
a considerable length of 60-inch con-
crete pipe with open joints, the water
being taken in by infiltration. In the
middle of stretch the 10000 foot in
take pipe line begins. OF this lZ,OOO
feet, however, only the first 1850 feet,
or that part nearest the river, is lald
with open joints for infiltration, the
rest being with joints closed.
32 Miles From Phoenix
The concrete pipe line is thus car
ried to a sand trap beyond which
the wood stave pipe line begins, 90
miles above Phoenix. At this point
the lines comes to the ground sur
face, 800 feet above Phoenix.
The sand trap is a concrete build
ing 20 feet square and the height IL
feet. 1t is situated about $4,000 feet
from the point Of the intake and 80
miles above Phoenix. The water
pours into the trap through the five
foot pipe and there the sand car
ried so far is deposited in the bot
tom of the trap and forced into the
river where the ground surface at
that point is nearly on level with
the line which has run below the
surface from depth OF 28 feet at
the intake to constantly decreasing
depths.
Despite the apparent simplicity of
the system, putting 1t in was any
thing but trivial task, and the work
was slow and arduous from the first.
On an average about five intake
lengths were laid day, making
total of 20 feet. Most of the time, the
excavations being well under water
level now the workmen were COM
PEELED to remain in the water. and
the eight-hour day was divided into
foI. hours wet and four hours dry
for them. A dragline machine was
used to excavate and swing the pipe
lengths into place from the banks of
the excavation.
In addition to the disagreeable ma
ture of the work in connection with
the intake construction, the engineers
had to meet and cope with other sit
uations. At one time, a large section
Of the river bank. where the concrete
pipe lengths were kept, caved in dur
ing a flood period and 10 of the heavy
pipes were swept away by the force
OF the water. These all were recov-
cred.
AT another portion in the intake
line, where the river can reach the
concrete pipe, heavy walls have been
constructed around the intake for

One civic Improvement oversha-
dowS all other developments of the
year 1921 In the history OF Phoenix
the completion of the Verde gravity
water system. The turning Of the
new water into the iron veins" OF the
9gey some two weeks ago marked a
step ahead which gave the states
metropolis a supply OF the greatest
necessity of life" which is second TO
none in the United States.
After Is years OF investigation and
discussion during which the Verde
system was transformed from a
dream to a practical project, the plan
for a new water supply for Phoenix
reached fulfilIment just in time to
become the years greatest local i'm
provement. The new year will share
honorS with the old, however, for the
system will not be completely finished
in detail for another month or so,
though tho water is already in use
and the project functioning perfectly.
The new water system now COM
pleted was begun in August, 1920, and
its rapid successful construction will
stand as an engineering feat for the
city, notwithstanding the fact a few
unexpected delays were brought about
by circumstance. Starting with a
10000 foot intake In the sands be-
meath the Verde river. 80 miles north
west of the river, in an airline, the
system brings the fresh, pure noun
tain water across mile after mile OF
hill and desert and farm lands into
town through a gigantic pipe line,
which here connects with the 12b
miles OF water mains.
No Purer Water
There now is no city in the United
States that has better water than
Phoenix, by all the scientific tests
which are applied to the determine
tion Of the purity OF water. 1t con-
tains only 33 parts of total solids in
100000 parts, as against 165 parts
solid IN the old Phoenix water, and
against S5.5 parts of Owen river wa
ter which supplies Los Angeles. John
G. 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 mater
iAily surpassed by any supply else
where throughout the country" An
alyses made since then have shown
y slightly less volume Of solids. while
the solids of the old supply increased
OWING 70 tle rise "a lno WdtSA ASFSA
N the valley.
Aside from quality. the quantity of
the water is also an important fea-
ture, for the supply will care for a
population more than twice the city's
present size.
The present Verde project had its
inception in 1906, when the first in
sestigation OF a future water supply
