of the former plans wero estimated

In our own plans the costs of the
former would bs Increased moro
than 25 per cent.
Uric-fly speaking tho former plans
provided for a dam on Bpavlnaw
creek fifty feet high a pipe lino to
Tulsa and ft hydro-electric plant suf.
flclcnt In power to drive three Inter
mediate pumping stations bewcen
Spavlnaw dam and Tulsa each Inter-
mediate station necessarily capable
of pumping tho entlro city supply.
Our Investigation and studies prove
that during the greater part of each
year sufficient water power Is not
available for oporatlng these lntor-
mcdlato pumping stations. More-
over this meant that four mechani-
cal units were required to be kept In
continuous operation day nnd night
to got tho wnter from Spavlnaw to
your presont pumping station where
It would finally be taken up and
pumped Into your distribution mains
Tho expense and hazard of handling
this water so many times beforo It
would becomo' avallnblo for con-
Humptlon arc such Important and ex
pensive factors we aro sure you Willi
agree that every reasonable means
rhnuld bn exhausted to eliminate such
a condition and make cert.iin Mm ln.
terrupted flow of this water to yourl
clly.
Tho plans hereinafter clearly out
lined and recommended for your
adoption reveal a slmplo and rela-
tively Inexpenslvo method whereby
the beautifully elenr wat r of tho
Spavlnaw creek may fon m.ido to
flow by gravity alono from a. dam
on tho Spavlnaw to tho gates of
your city In tho vicinity of Mo-
hawk. An Instrumental survey han been
prepared for each possible dam slto
on tho Spavlnaw that seemed to
possess any dogreo of merit and each
of these has been carefully esti-
mated analyzed and compared with
the others to determlno that which
will best perform tho functions clo-
Hlrcd. Wo have oxamlntd Into tho
depth character and suitability of
tho foundations of the best of these
sites this being essential before an
accurato estimate of tho cost could
bo ascertained.
Careful nnd oxtcnslva reconnals-
nances have been mado of all tho
territory between Tula nnd Spavl-
naw creek covering all possible
routes for conduit or pipe line
through which this water might bo
economically conveyed and those
reconnaissances havo been followed
by Instrumental surveys over each
of tho routes apprwirlng to bo favor-
able or meritorious In order to d-l
tcrmlne with a reasonable degreo of
certainty tho best nnd most economi
cal in connection wun determin-
ing upon tho economical routo for
the conduit wo havo not only to
deal with tho topograhy of tho coun-
try but nlno with' tho geological for-
mations near tho earth's surface
slnco all of the conduit should bo
laid underground and bo covered
over. As is well known by all that
arc familiar with this torrltory rock
closely underlies nearly all tho
earth's surface and to avoid thts
ruck as far as may he powlblo and i
itiso to determine Its depth In-low the
surface we have put down more
than four hundred test holes be-
tween Tulsa nnd tho proposed dam-
slto on Spavlnaw. Ily this and other
means wo have been able to select
routes on which relatively but a
small proportion of rock will bo en-
countered in the excavation for tho
conduit
llctween tho Verdigris river and
l'rayor creek both of which we
havo to cross with tho conduit thero
Hen a high ridge tho southern end
of which Is In the vicinity of Innla
too far nouth to consider avoiding
It by detaining southward: and since
It would be uneeonnmleiiS to pump
the water over tho ridge u tunnel
thoretoro becomes neressnry on a
direct route and Is tho most ad-
vantageous and oronomlc solution of
this seeming difficulty. This tun-
nel will be hereinafter referred to
as Tlawah tunnel.
Wo havo cnrefully selected n
route for the conduit In connection
with this tunnel with a specific pur-
pose In view nnmely to Induce n
flow of tho Spavlnaw water by
gravity nlono from the Spavlnaw
dam to tho side door of Tilkta In
the vicinity of Mohawk nnd thus
eliminate the necessity for and ex-
pensu of operation of all mechanical
units such as the pumps and hdro-eli-trlr
plant heretofore proposed In
tho former plans to force a flow.
Ily eliminating theso mechanical
units wo also eliminate substanti-
ally nil possible danger of ltitcmip-
tlnn In tho flow nnd at the name
limn bring tho wnter to Tulsa nt
the lowest possllilo cost ami tho
highest degree of efficiency und ccr-

dam site nnd along the conduit line
wo have sent down eoro drills Into
the rldge to levels through and be-
low the tunnel to determine the
nature nnd character of the ma-
terials through which It Is to be
borod. The cores show that the tun-
nel will be In shiilo not unfavor-
able for Us construction. The rost
of tho tunnel Is In no wise a barrier
to the scheme of conveylug this
wnter by gravity.
In vlenof the fact that the added
cost Is so small our plans provide
for this tunnel to bo nf n site hav-
ing threo tlnien tho capacity of the
conduit so that whn additional
conduits may become necessary by
reason of growth of the city. It will
not be necessary to build a new tun-
nel. Another consideration for going
through this r!dg nt tho low level
we attain by the tunnel Is that It
materially lowers tho htdraullc
grado line closer down to the gen-
eral avemgo of the ground surface
which In turn reduces the Internal
rirewiures oast of tho tunnel and
makon itowdhle on that section the
use of leesi expensive Conduit fdpes.
The cost of the tunnel Is moro than
saved In this Item atone.
To rreato a gravity system It Is
necessary to build a dam on ffpnvl-
naw creek to a height of C5 feet
above the present normal wnter i
level of tho riiMk. This da:n Is
planned to bo of th most substnn- '
tial tpc nnd abundantly sate to!
withstand any and all powlbln con-
ditions nnd will rrcite tho best lake 1
for water supply pirpnses In all the 1
southwest a lake wlmh will cover
1 955 acres of land through whlih
will flow dallv an averjgo of -C2
million gnlbir. of w.Vcr This
amount Is Inscd upon the dnlly
gauging of the strea n froni January
7 to October IS 19:1. This lake
w ill i otitnln uppioxliiiHiely 16 billion
gallons of water which with the In-
flow Is sufficient to nupply th elly
of Tulsn and Its environs through
any and nil poslhlo periods of
drouth. Tin- capacity nf the reser-
voir above the level of the Intake Is
more than a full Jears supply roin-
putfd upon n basis of a maximum
ilsll) demand of !l million gallons.

gether with the rate of Increase In

ed In tho futun- urn graphically re-
vealed by the consumption and
population curves nccompnti) Ing
this report Tulsa's rouiltf mrnts of
wnter will reach l millions gallons
dally In approximately 22 enis It
Is our opinion thst no line than this
amount should be now pruvtded for
nnd our estimates nro therefore
based upon this amount.
In older to convey this amount
of water to Tulsa our plans pfo-
vlds for a f.O-lnch diameter con-
duit or jdpe having a carrjlng ca-
pacity of 27 million gallons of water
dally from Spavlnaw dam to the
east end of Tlawiih tunnel a dis-
tance of 23 miles and a 4 8-Inch di-
ameter conduit or pipe having a
carrying capacity of 25 millions
dally from tho went end of tho
tunnel to Mohawk vicinity The
reason for the different o In sle of
the contl nits or pipes is that from
the Spnvmuw dam to the tunnel the
tatu of fall obtalnnbli' to produce a

Prince Albert' 3 8i
new note in tne
joys of rolling!
Talking about rolling your
own cigarettes we'll tell you
right here that Prince Albert
tobacco has 'em all lashed to
the mast!
You've got a handful-of-happiness
coming your direc-
tion when you pal it with P. A.
and the in akin 's papers ! For
Prince Albert is not only de-
lightful to your taste and
pleasing in its refreshing
aroma but our exclusive pat-
ented process frees it from
bite and parch! You smoke
with the bars down day and
night!
And for a fact rolling up
Prince Albert is about as easy
as anything you know. You
see P. A. is crimp cut and it
stays put and you whisk it
into shape before you can
count three! And the next
instant you're puffing away
to beat the very old band !
Prince Albert is so good
that it has led four men to
smoke jimmy pipes where one
was smoked before! It's the
greatest old buddy the friend-
liest smoke that ever found
its way into a pipe or ciga-
rette! If you never got ac-
quainted with a pipe for
goodness sake go get one and
get some P. A. and go to it !
