OF bis prediction of an earthquake and
tidal wave for this region, coupled with
some conversations she had with parties
Who lived in the same block. These
latter people were firm believers in Dun
cans predictions and were largely re-
sponsble fo1 Alms'e wrought up nerves.
She told her parents that she guessed
che would take trip to Montana, but
they though abe was simply joking.
Mr.. Floyd said she was entirely free

own money with which to travel. Be-

in Ogden and that she had gone on to
Denver. Mr.. Stafford cav that she was
not exactly in the condition to travel
alone and he followed her to Denver and
persuaded hsr to return home. The
gentleman said that his daughters home

Some Waste River Water That Will BE
Utilizsd.
Water Overseer BilderrAin and the
sewer committee have Just evolved a
ittls scheme to make SIG per day for the
city.
1t is proposed to utilize the water in
the river which flows over the Macy
street dam by catching it at Sixth
street. AT this point the East Los An
geles sewer crosses the river. 1t is now
proposed to build q dam and small
fiume at Sixth street at a cost OF $50.
This flame will be so constructed that
it will catch the sand and enable the
water overseer to turn 200 inches of
water into the outfall sewer at that
point for the purpose OF flushing the
came. As matters now stand the water
utilized for that purpose is drawn from
the irrgating ditches, every drop OF
which can now be sold. thus making q
gain to the city of about SIG per day.
Further, the new f1ume will give more
uniform flow OF water into the outfsll
sewer, and will thus obviste any danger
OF its becoming choked up in the
siDhon.
