BILL M'kiNLEY IN TOWN

A fine specimen of councilmania was
the adoption by the municipal legislature
at its last meeting, of the ordinance re-
quiring transient hMckmen to pay Ii
cense of $40 per day, the avowed purpose
being to protect the city hackman
against the competition of GU tside jehus
These local apostles of McKinleyism gone
to seed, evidently do not realize that the
authority to enact license ordinances was
never conferred with the intention that it
should be exercised so as to discriminate
for or against any class or calling of
legitimate character. The people that
use hacks happen TO be more numerous
than those who own them. and the rights
aud needs of the former are worthy some
consideration. even for no other reason
than that they have votes. The next step
will be the placing OF an m barge OIL out
of-town bicycles for fear their Use in the
city may diminish the receipts of local
street car lines. The people are not afraid
of hacks except when driven at unlawful
speed. They want them. What they wish
let them have without the mischievlous
intermeddling of protective" ordinances

THE CITY AND THE FIESTA

1t does not appear that the city author
tiles quite appreciate and understand the
greatness of the approaching Fiesta. and
its impol tance in the affairs of this mu-
nicipalty.
Beginning with next Monday, and
through the week to Saturday. about twice
as many human beings will be gathered
together within the city limits as have
ever before met within this same space
The hotels and boarding houses will be
crowded to their utmost; the streets will
be jammed with people; every means OF
conveyance will be loaded down and a
high degree of excitement and activity
will prevail in all sides. Los Angeles
has not had much experience in the
handling of large crowds. We are about
to have such an experience now, and to
have it in concentrated form.
At such time the honor and reputa
ton of the city are very much at stake, and
the greatest care should be taken by the
city authorities that nothing be allowed
to happen which will cause disagreeable
comment in the future. 1t is an unpleasant
feature of large crowds that they invari-
ably draw with them thieves, toughs and
confidence men from all over the country.
A number of these are toabe expected on
this occasion, and should be prepared
for. A large number OF special police
should be detailed for duty during Fiesta
week, both to assist in the crowded streets
and to patrol the residence district, tC
look ont for thieves who make business
Of entering houses that are left alone.
An allowance If pay for twenty five
specials has been made by the council
1t is not enough-not half enough; and
if any serious trouble should result as q
consequence, the people will be disposed
to hold the city authorities IN large
measure responsible.
We repeat that we do not believe that
the city council as whole appreciates and
understands the importance of the Fiesta
This fact is to be regretted, for it may
place the city in an unplea ant position
before the great affair is over.

WANT A HIGHER RATE
Freight Agents Talk to Railroad Commissions
About Coal Oil

SAN FRANCISCO. April 1O.-The
board of state railroad commissioners
heard arguments today in favor of ad-
vancing the rate on petroleum and it's
products. President Stubbs of the
Southern Pacific, r. \. Ryan, general
passenger and freight agent of the San
Francisco and North Pacific, and General
Freight Agent Bush of the A tlantic and
Pacific, made the complaint that the pres
ent rate on coal oil is too low to leave any
profit for their companies. They wanted
an increase in rate and to support their
appeal they made very pausi BILE show
ing.
Formerly coal oil in less than carload
lots was classed as 'double first class" rate
but the western classification freight
rates reduced it to third class, which rail
road men contend Is too sweeping and IN
equitable.
On the other hand. protests from deal
ers in paints and oils not present at the
meeting were read, in which it was stated
that the prevailing rates here are higher
in com parison than with those of other
states.
Mr.. Stubbs argued that the risk attend
ant upon transportation of coal oil should
be considered and he submitted figures
to show that the proposed advance would
be only triing matter to consumers
not 5 cts year so consumer in Frenso
What was wanted is a first class rate on
less than a carload, which would be from
10 to 20 per cent less than the other rate.
Mr.. Ryan said that petroleum should be
carried only in tanks, but it is necessary
to carry it in small lots as an ac-
commodation to people in thinly popu-
lated districts The matter was laid OYER
until the next meeting, when dealers Will
be asked for an opinion as to ne advisa-
bility of changing the rate.

WATER SUPPLY OF ANTELOPE VALLEY

1t has often puzzled the careful observer
of physical nature in Southern California
to determine what becomes of the vast
volume of water which must be thrown oil
from the great mountain watershed OF
the Sierra Madre range on its northern
exposure. The mountain range which
sweeps for hundred miles in a semi-cir-
Gle from Mount San Bernardino westward
to the peaks aligning Elizabeth lake, has
no stream of cons iderable Importance
carrying off the surface flow except the
Mojave river, and this, though a raging
torrent in some seasons, does not carry
off more than quarter of the water which
falls on the soil tributary to it. The
mountain canyons are filled with snow
every winter and these, melting under
the fcrvid rays of semi-tropic sun, fur
nsh water enough to fill several streams
the size of the Mojave. 1t is true that in
the country lying north of the range out
lined, there are a mum bel. of small streams
such as Big Rock creek, Little Rock creek
ana few minor streamlets, but none at
all which could carry in their visible
banks more than small percentage of the
water which falls in one form or another
i'll the thousands of square miles OF
watershed back of them.
Water in confinement has an upward
and outward pressure, in addition to a
downward pressure, differing i'll this re-
spect from inert matter, which by the
law of gravity presses downward only,
whether confined or not. The water which
falls upon the hillsides of the northern
)
find it's way, by subterranean channels,
under the earth, and, pressing upward
and outward, is constantly seeking its
level at the surface of the earth and thus
it is that artesian wells are becoming such
common things i'll that portion of the
Alojave desert known as the Antelope val
ley. In many instances these wells are
found at a depth OF only forty and fifty
feet and they give flow of sufficient vol
ume to irrigate from forty to sixty acres
of alfalfa each And these wells are not
being found in isolated cases, which
might indicate only occasional streams OF
water escaping from the mountains, but
all over the valley, both east and west OF
the Southern Pacific railroad, from Palm.
dale to points quite distance north OF
Lancaster.
ordinarily the soil OF the valley, in the
limits named, is hard and appa rently
sterile, because the plow has never
touched it, but III many cases, even where
the rainfall has not been over three to
five inches for years. moisture can be
found within twelve inches of the surface
even in midsummer. Upon what is now
apparently forbidding desert, if the in
dications of the past year hold out thou
sands of homes can be created by proper
application of brains, energy and water,
the three factors which have made the
ands this side Of the mountains a gar
den spot, and the greatest of these is
water.
