The New Kansas Senator.


Colonel W. A. Harris, who takes Mr..
PETERS place as United States senator
from Kansas, is not a lawyer or a mem
Der CT any great mining or trust com
pany. He deals in stock heavily, it is
true, but it is live stock-just plain hogs
and cattle. He has made some money
out Of his stock, too, which goes to show
he can manage public affairs. There is
one fact in his history that ought to
preserve his name TO fame. He has done
Perhaps mere than any other one man
to improve the beef of this country.
Colonel Harris was born in Virginia,
which may in some measure account for
his title. He was a soldier, too-a Con-
iederate soldior-and served under Lee.
When the wal closed, like many another
toutherner, Colonel Harris ent north to
grow up with the country. He journeyed
to Kansas and worked as a civil engi-
neer. He loved the country. He loved all
animals. He bought a tract of rolling
prairie land in LeavenWorth county,
Kan. and there proceeded to exploit his
ideal. A beautiful American country
home gradually arose to adorn the
prairie. The wild grass was converted
into blue grass.
The improvement and breeding of
beef cattle seem to have attracted Colo
mel Harris fancy especially. He found
his IDEAL in the beautiful Cruickshank
Shorthorns o. Scotland and imported
them. His herd of ShorthOrns Oh the
Kansas farm became famous. Thence
the breed spread over the country,
changing for American beef eaters the
flesh of the scrub and the wild Texas
longhorn to the tender, delicious steak
for which the brazen keeper of the swell
restaurant charges you $3.50. Within
ten years there has been great change
for the better in the quality of beef
served upon American tables. 1t is to
such men as Colonel W. A. Harris, the
new senator from Kansas, that we owe
the change. We take off our hat to you,
Senator Harrisl

Westlake park, a concrete abutment
10 feet high and feet wide had been
placed. An iron gate has been so placed
as to provide means of draining the

overflow from the lake has been so ar
ranged as to flow directly into the sewer.
About 5000 plants had been set out. Sew
eral hundred loads of materials had been
hauled to the park.
In East Side park lawn of 16,625
square feet has been sown and $3.50
plants set out. Preparations have been
made for laying 600 feet of four-inch
pipe.
In the nursery department 900 plants
had been sent to Fremont Gate 1000

enue q, Albion street and the river,
amounting to 66 acres, and designated as
the Albion street district, can be drained
down Albion street to the river.
The remaining portion of the watershed
amounting to 3SS acres, designated as the
Main street district, will continue to drain
TO Main street, and discharge through the
present storm drains and the proposed ex-
tensions thereof, into the river.
By making the changes as outlined, the
amount of storm water which accumu-
lates at Workman street and Downey ave-
nue. and at Main street between Avenue
81 and Mozart street will be so materially
reduced that it can be readily disposed Of
without inconvenience to the public.
Continuing the report takes up each
separate district and states just at what
points and by what means the changes
in drainage mentioned in the foregoing
may be accomplished. The work to be
done consists of the construction of a
number of large storm drains, the laying
of several leads of pipe and the con-
struction of storm cutters of such size
as will carry off large volume of water.
Each piece of work is minutely de-
scribed and the cost of it estimated up
on the cost of other work of similar
character is stated. The total estimated
cost of the work is s5,30660. The clos
ing paragraph of the report is as fol-
lows:
l would urge upon your honorable body
the importance of taking immediate ac-
ton in this matter. Complaints without
number are filed in this connection after
every rainstorm, and the city has already
expended more money in repairing the
streets in this territory (notably the prac-
tical reconstruction of Mozart street be-
tween Avenue 81 and Workman street and
Avenue q between Mozart and Main
streets) that will be necessary for the
abatement of the nuisance.

EAST SIDE DRAINAGE
City Engineers Plans for Relief From
Storm Water Damage

If the plans which have been sub
mitted to the city council by City En-
gineer Dockweiler are approved and the
work he suggests is ordered the drain
age of East Los Angeles will be so
changed as to prevent such an accum-
ulation of storm water as will do any
damage to property. The matter was
referred to him several months ago and
after a careful examination of all the
natural outlets for storm water in that
section of the city he has submitted a
report on the subject which he says con-
tains the only remedy for the existing
poor drainage there. This report was
completed yesterday afternoon and was
filed with the board of public works. 1t
is quite voluminous and handles the
subject in detail. The first part, in
which the changes contemplated are
stated in a general way is as follows:
In the matter of storm water in East
Los Angeles, for which 1 am ordered by
your honorable body to devise a remedy,
1 beg leave to report as follows:
The points at which the overflow from
storm water is most serious are:
First-At Workman street and Downey
avenue, where the storm water from the
entire drainage area north of Downey ave-
nue., an area of abuot $40 acres, is at pres
ent discharged. Second-At Main street
between Avenue q and Mozart street,
which receives at present the entire flow
of storm water from practically the whole
drainage area of East Los Angeles,
amounting to 106S acres.
The remedy will consist in a proper d.
version and distribution of the. storm
water, so that each street, so far as is pos
sible, will carry its own proportion. ] find
upon investigation that the area Of the
watershed draining into Main street
amounts to zoos acres. of which the fol-
lowing portions may be diverted:
That portion which lies east of Gates
street north of Downey avenue. and east
of Eastlake avenue, south of Downey av-
enue amounting to an area of AIS acres,
designated as the Eastlake avenue dis
trict. can be drained down Eastlake ave-
nue. into the Arroyo de los Posas.
That portion of the watershed, amount
ing to 1856 acres, which lies north of Avenue
rs, and east of Pasadena avenue, and des-
ignated on the attached map as Pasadena
avenue district, can be drained down Ave-
nue. Is TO Pasadena avenue, thence along

Rapidly-City Hall Notes

Owing to the fact that the expenses
at the parks have been much higher dur
ing the first four months of the fiscal
year than was expected, the board of
park commissioners has decided upon a
reduction of 25 per cent in the labor ac-
count. Secretary Mendenhall filed a
financial report at yesterdays meeting
of the board which, among other things
showed that since July 1. $4,000 had
been expended of the total appropria-
ton of s53,000 If the expenses were
kept at the present figure it was stated
that the parks could not be properly
maintained in the spring and early sum-
mer. The alternative of discharging
one fourth of the men now employed or
reducing their time one-fourth and re-
tanning all of them was presented and
the latter course was decided upon. The
men who have heretofore been making
full time will hereafter work three weeks
per month.
Commissioner Griffith called attention
to the fact that Herman Spey, who has
the boating privilege at Echo park, was
e43.75 behind in his payments. The Sec
retary was instructed to notify the con-
tractor that he must either make an
immediate settlement or surrender his
contract.
Superintendent Carey reported that
j. j. White, who has the boating privi-
lege at East Side park had returned all
of the gold fish which he had in a tank
there to be sold and had also made ar
rangements to pay the city for the fish
he had sold. 1t will be remembered that
at the last meeting of the board White
was reported to have claimed the ex-
elusive fishing privilege at that park,
and had, it was reported, said that if he
could not fish there no one else should
Mr.. White appeared before the commits
sion and stated that his action had been
due to a misinterpretation of the terms
of his contract. He had supposed that
he had the right to sell gold fish. but
when he learned that he had not he
was willing to pay for what he had sold.
He denied any intention of contesting
the matter and asserted his Willingness
to abide by any instructions which the
board might give him. The explanation
was accepted and White was given to
understand that the fishing privileges at
the park were reserved to the park au-
.thorities and the public.

Yesterday tax collections amounted
