A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held last evening at 21S South Main street
for the purpose of hearing reports Of the
different committees to decide as - to
whether there should be a baby show al
the picnic to be given at Terminal Island
next week. After a thorough discussion, II
was unanimously decided that there should
be a baby show and a special committee
was authorized to procure six prizes for It.
It was also decided to have an Irish Jig
and, reel contest, professionals excluded.
The report of the athletic committee was
approved, and 1t was authorized to pur-
chase what prizes 1t should deem neces-
sary.
The Mariposa club generously offered to
serve free coffee to all on that occasion
only requiring plcnickers to furnish theil
own cups and spoons. For this the club
received a vote of thanks.
The Terminal company has agreed Ia
meet all requirements in regard to trans
portation of the immense crowd that al.

MORE WATER NEEDED
Irrigators to Bring Their Grievances
Before the Council

The question as to the right of the
city to the waters of the Los Angeles
River is being raised by residents in the
zanja district No. Z. Last Monday
petition was presented to the
council calling Its attention to the
large amount of water being allowed to
go to waste at the intersection Of the main
fiume with zanja No. 2. and also to the fact
that large quantities of water were being
diverted from the zanja by the Cudahy
Packing company, the National Ice COM
pany and other institutions, for domestic
purposes.
1t was also claimed that the water which
flowed through the zanja was for the use
of irrigators, and that under these condi-
lions they were entitled to priority, and
further, that the city had assumed the
right to the disposition of the water which
has resulted In a great scarcity of water to
ruination of crops. The majority of the
protestants claim the riparian rights
for the San Antonio rancho, to the waters
flowing through the old Lugo ditch, now
known as zanja No. Z. These rights are
stipulated In their deeds.
Many years ago when this grant was d.
vided and sold In small parcels, these
rights were recognized.
Some controversy exists as to whether the
city was at that time pueblo, If such was
the case then the city certainly has tho
prior right to the water.
In 1882 In a, suit brought by Jesse Hunter
and others relating to the distribution Of
water among certain owners of lands on
the Los Feliz rancho. the supreme court
rendered a decision In which the city was
granted priority. A compromise was effect
ed. The city finally passed an ordinance in
which the parties to the action owning
land on the river, were allowed the use
of the waters Of the river free of charge
for irrlgating and domestic purposes. next
after the inhabitants. of the city of Los
Angeles, and before any other land outside
of the city. 1t was also stipulated that
they should keep the ditch in repair Mt
their own expense.
Deputy Water Overseer Clark said yester-
day: "In my opinion the salvation of the
country depends upon something being
done for the irrigators. as their
condition Is indeed deplorable. MY
idea Is that the irrigators should re-
ceIve their supply from the river and all
water for domestic purposes should come
from the mountains

Thousands havo tried from time imme-

for wrinkles and other imperfections of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
GUS Complexion Specialists, of 70 Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed 10 make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions, etc., never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
a most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately, and it
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness, eruptions, and discolorations Of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will,
