READY FOR THE VOTE

The voters of Los Angeles are ready for the ques-
ton" relative to the Owens valley water proposition
Discussion the subject has been exhaustive and every
citizen understands the situation thoroughly.
So far acceptance of the proposition is concerned
the people Of this city satisfied at the outset with
the judgment Of the water department officials That
confidence based on what those officials already
have accomplished in the public service well
their recognized character and standing in the COM
munity.
But in addition to the thorough investigation of the
subject by the officials of the water department cumula
tive testimony of most convincing character has been
offered in favor of the proposition by many competent
persons The judgment of all such persons has been
strongly in favor of the project All In the opin
ion that Los Angeles has 1.-The chance of life
time" to acquire the only thing lacking In Its metro
potan progress And observer of the situation has
been able to point single drawback to success in
consummating the plan outlined
Suppementng the judgment of the water officials We
have the opinions in the place. of eminent
ment engneers-men who are as familiar with all the
conditions involved is school youngster with the
alphabet Engineer Lippncott of the United States
geological survey for instance says: ut can be
shown by measurements of this and adjoining basins
that the city is deriving practically the full benefit
of all the water which is discharged from these noun
tain canyons" Nowhere except in the Owens valley
is it possible to obtain sufficient water supply even
for the Los Angeles of the near future.
Not only is the of expert judgment soidly
in favor Of the Owens valley proposition, but all bus
interests and home interests we'll back it. Every
organization in the city, representative of the people,
is record favorng the project Almost every ndt-
vidual whose views reached the indorse it
heartily.
There are no opponents of the proposition except a
handful of spitefu selfnteresed "ckers who, for
selfish interests would sell Los Angeles at the price
Esau got for his nhertance-a of pottage.
AS The Herald has urged heretofore however, 1t is
important that the vote be large and the majority
so overwhelming in the election next Thursday that
observers abroad may that Los Angeles means
business" in its upreach for place in the million class
of cities. A big vote the water proposition and
nearly unanimous in the affirmative will have power
full influence in attracting to Los Angeles many people
and vast amount of investment capital.
Every voter in the city should determine to go to
the polls next Thursday cast his ballot in favor of
the water bond issue. Every consideration Of self and
family interest of civic pride and Of love for Los An
gees calls upon the voter to aid in swelling the majority
in favor of the water proposition.

Fatal Results
Special to The Herald.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept. 8.
Evidently mistaking hailstones for
corn, six ducks belonging to Samuel
Hodgson of Florence, Colo, ate heartily
of them and died soon after. When cut
open the fowls were found frozen in
side.
The life of another Of Mr.. Hodgson's
ducks was saved by pouring hot water
in its craw.
The ducks, which had remained in the
shelter Of barn during a heavy hail
storm, rushed out when the storm was
over and were seen by members of the
Hodgson family rapidly eating the icy
Jumps.
Soon they began to stand on one foot
and then on the other as on winter
days. One after another they fell to
the ground and died within a few
minutes.
