would be unbalanced as compared to the consumption and other features of the plant. ...
 The pipe distribution system is la mentally weak in being small lines with consequent inadequate pressure. Not counting the supply lines the dis tributing system now consists of 2.2 miles of 6-inch, 1.2 miles of 4 inch, 50 miles of 8 inch, 31a miles of ? inch and l& mile of inch, total of 12.4 miles, most of it so small that with the reservoir full of water, there is no water for use in all the higher portions of the city. It is proposed to remedy this by laying larger feed CT mains, using the 10 and inch now in use from the reservoir to town, which will be replaced by a larger line. About 2-3 miles of these larg- CT reinforced feeder mains should be installed, thereby giving a good uni form pressure over the entire town.
 The improvements outlined about are all essential and will give Flag stall and the Santa Fe an abundant supply of good pure water at proper pressures. The estimates are all based on first-class materials with permanent construction.
 The summarized estimates of cost of all the Improvements including col lecting system, of head work, 14-inch flow line, 50 million gallon reservoir, supply line from reservoir to town, ) 2-3. miles larger feeder lines in dis tribution system, engineering and in cidentals is $472,398.
 At the conclusion of reading of the voluminous report which covered ev- cry feature of the proposed improve ments to the water system, there was discussion by Engineer Davenport, representing the Santa Fe water de- partment, Division Engineer Roy

through the west rim of the lake.
 The lake is eleven miles northwest of Flagstaff at an elevation of 82O0 feet. At the time of the inspection the lake had an average diameter of 62O feet and storage of about 20 million gallons.
 Last spring water was run into the lake until the depth was 1O1a feet greater than at the time of the visit, making an average diameter of 730 feet. A leak then developed and the lake pulled down below the point of leakage. The Crater Lake water is the run-off from a large area some of which is cultivated and much of which is grazed, and consequently carries much silt and organic pou- tion. After storage in the lake much of this silt settles out, but the water would never be suitable for domestic use without qualification. The capac- ity of Crater Lake is estimated by it's owners at 150 million gallons. The depth to get this capacity would have to be about 40 feet. The lake was fill ed to about IS feet last spring when the leak developed. The lake is well siIted up to the 18-ft. depth, but above that point the lava and ash deposit seems quite porous.
 Our knowledge of such reservoirs on this character of soil is that it would not be safe to figure on it's use without lining the bottom and side slopes, both to hold the water and prevent leakage, but to preserve the quality. It's use would require filter plant to make the water suitable for domestic use. Our estimate of the cost of making this supply available would be $365,000 and then the water would still be of poor quality, com pared to the present spring supply. Its hardness being over three times

only 65 per cent of the water from per cent loss is due to sewer flush ing, leaks, under registration of me ters, etc. Pressure tests were made by the engineers at AS places through out the town, with the discovery that l4 hydrants in higher portions of the town were entirely without water pressure, due to the small pipe lines. These tests were made when the large reservoir was full of water.
 Eve Water Sources Investigated
 The engineers investigated thor Oughly five sources of supply, making analysis of water, estimates of cost, with maps, tests and reports on feas- ibility of each.
 The Switzer Canyon impounding reSefvoir would necessitate a dam 1900 feet long and 35 feet high and would form a lake of 51 acres with an average depth of "A feet when full and a total storage of 165 million gallons. The objectionable features that cause it's elimination are neces- sity of filtration because of organic matter and its low elevation, thus making a pumping plant necessary, The shallow depth, too, is serious objection
 Fort Valley Reservoir only requires low dam 1872 high and produces a storage of l67 million gallons, but at the shallow average depth of Az feet. This surface drainage water with it's shallow depth would soon sstagnatc and, would further require filtration, making it expensive to maintain and difficult to overcome objectionable tastes and odors.
 Wells at Fort Valley were investi- gated, records made of the water level in each, depth of water bearing strata cured. The gravel beds were of small thickness and of too limited dimen. sions for an ample supply. Even if the .quantity of the supply was un, questioned, the quality of the water would condemn this as a safe source to adopt. The analysis shows hard ness thirteen times as high as the present spring supply, and consider able chlorine present.
 Crater Lake development has been in progress for years and has ire quently been mentioned as a source of water supply. It was up for consider ation in 1914 before the present large reservoir and the second pipe line to the springs was constructed. The act ual development of the Crater Lake project consists of 2.75 miles of col lecting ditches, 1.7 miles of 8-inch slip-joint steel pipe, 465 feet of intake tunnel through the east rim of the lake and 500 feet of outlet tunnel

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION WARNS AGAINST RECENT
 MISLEADING ADVERTISING

The United States Civil Service commission says that there have been brought to it's attention numerous misleading advertising circulars and newspaper advertisements of certain so-called civil service schools.
 In these circulars and advertise ments, Information is given that a railway postal clerk examination is soon to be held. The commission states that no such examination has been an- nounced and that 1t is not known at this time when it will be necessary to hold an examination of the kind. When one is to be held it will be duly an nounced.
 Many of these so-called civil ser vice schools, said the commission re- cruit a considerable part of their cli- entele among young people of limited education in rural communities, who fall easy victims to alluring state ments regarding railway postal clerk and other positions in the government

as high and with chlorine present in dicating pollution. As 9 domestic sup ply it cannot be recommended and from the financial side it is even less desirable.
 The present spring supply as will be seen from details of the report is capable of a much larger development and at a reasonable cost. The visible water not now collected is about equal to the supply being collected. The source is ideal as to avoiding future pollution. The quality of water could not be surpassed anywhere in the country. Its purity and coldness is an asset that Flagstaff citizens should capitalize. Other less fortunate cities would give millions for such water. The collecting lines when enlarged and improved, will bring an abundant supply of water to Flagstaff, meeting for many years the future require ments for both the city and the San ta Fe R. R.
 The two small vitrified supply lines from the springs to the reservoir need replacing by installation of a 14 and 13 inches steel line with carrying capacity of 4,S00,000 gallons. This ca pacity is needed to provide an excess storage of 100 million gallons in less than one months time.
 This larger supply line makes it less essential for such large storage reservoir, and justifies our recommen- dation for an additional storage of 50 million gallons to tide over dry years and avoid the water shortage that has previously existed.
 This, from an engineering stand point is the proper size, especially when a well-balanced plant is being planned. None of the main features should be disproportionate in capac- ity, and a 100 million gallon reservoir

 There was no division of opinion on the question of improving the water supply at the earliest possible time. However, the meeting was not called with any idea that definite action would be taken, but for general dis cussion of the report in order that plans might be worked out with the approval of the Santa Fe people as well as the people of Flagstaff.

 The commission points out that def mite and authentic information re garding pending examinations may al ways be obtained from any of its To- cal representatives or by writing di- rect to the office of the commission at Washington, D. C. The commission has a representative at the postoffice or customhouse in each of approxi- mately $500 cities throughout the country.

Tonto Basin, according to a writer in the University monthly, was once great salt lake. This was during the tertiary era. There were then no Salt or Gila rivers. The lake was from 800 to a thousand feet deep. Tonto Basin lake was bounded on the west by the Four Peaks, or Mazatal range, on the east by the Sierra An ches mountains, on the north by low range of slate mountains and on the south by dikes and many parallel ranges of mountains. The country ad- joining the Tonto Basin also abound ed,in small lakes, but all were drained by an uplift and erosion. The Lake Tonto was in the form of a right an- gle, one side extending northward up what is now known as Tonto creek for distance of about "A miles, and varied in width from 12 to l5 miles. The side extended eastward up what is now Salt river and had about the same length and depth as the north ern arm. The greatest depth of the lake was about 1000 feet, After it had been filled with water it over flowed the Silver King mountain bar rier and began to cut a channel west ward. Then the channel of the Salt river was a thousand feet higher than it is now.

Pythian Officials Take Criminal
Action When Auter Fails To
Make Good On Shortage

A shortage of S12,299.85 in the
accounts of John R. Auter, treasurer
of the Knights of Pythias, resulted
in his conviction Tuesday on a charge
of embezZlement. Auter was tried
before Judge Hurley of the Cook
County Criminal Court.
Several months ago a discrepancy
was found in the Pythians' Endow-
ment Fund for Widows and Orphans.
Closer investigation revealed the fact
that Auter's accounts were over $12,-
900 short.
Denies Theft
Auter stoutly denied any misuse
of the lodges funds, but failed to
give satisfactory explanation Of the
shortage. Pythian officials consented
Ito defer criminal action against the
treasurer upon the assurance that
he would make the shortage good.
In the meantime Auter and his
friends secured the city in desper-
ate effort to effect loan with which
to replace the money. After all ef-
forts had failed and Auter had con-
fessed his inability either to salts
factorily explain the shortage or re-
place the funds, he was indicted on
charge of embezzlement.
Unable To Furnish Bond
AT the trial Auter entered a plea
of mot guilty." but refused to take
the witness stand in his own defense.
He was quickly convicted. When his
lawyer, Atty. Albert George enered
motion for a new trial, Judge Hurley
granted a new trial, setting the bond
at $4,000. Again Auter's friends
secured the city, this time seeking
bondsman for the convicted treasurer.
They were unable to schedule the
bond, in default of which, Auter was
remanded to the County Jail, where
he spent the night. AT late hour
Tuesday night it was reported that
a party of his friends had gone To
Evanston, seeking bondsman there.
Feeling against Auter ran high in
Pythian ranks when it was learned
that the embezzled funds had been
taken from the endowment for widows
and orphans.
