PROJECT is IND0RSED
BY COMMITTEE OF THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Approving the entrie project and ex'
pressing the hope that the bonds will
be voted, the special committee of the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce has
made a stirring report to that organiza.
ton.
The committee reported as follows:
"By careful investigation we have
endeavored to secure all the informa-
ton possible in connection with the pro-
posed plans. We have conferred with
the city officials, the water board and
with disinterested engineers and con-
tractors. We have examined maps and
government reports and have Joined
with other commercial bodies in send
ing a special committee consisting OF
H. c. Wilmer, NJ. Lissner and Fred
A. Hines to the Owens river valley
to make a personal investigation
especially with reference to the quality
of the water, of which number OF
analyses were made by different
chemists.
From this inquiry the conclusion OF
your committee may be thus sum-
married.:
"First-It is imperatively necessary to
secure a new water supply If the de-
velopment of this city is to be con-
tinued.
"Second-The Owens river valley is
the only source that promises a per-
manent supply that will be sufficient,
''Third-There is an ample supply for
our needs, and the quality of the water
is satisfactory.
"Fourth-There are no difficult en-.
gineering problems presented in build
ing the conduit needed. 1t is a large
but simple proposition.
"Fifth-The estimates of cost of con
struction are very liberal and the total
outlay will probably come we'll within
the estimate Of s21, 100000, made by Mr.
Mulholland, engineer of the water de-
partment.
"Sixth-While there will undoubtedly
be more or less litigation as in all enter
prises of this character, we believe that
the rights sought to be acquired by the
city can be successfully maintained
and defended.
Commend Officials
"In connection with the above con-
clusions we desire to express our salts
faction with the skill and marked
ability displayed by those officials of
the city who have had charge of its
interests. A project of this kind con-
Quoted by a municipality usually fails
or becomes a matter of great expense
by reason of premature knowledge of
the plans.
1--WE believe that they were suffi-
ciently informed on all material points
involved in the enterprise to justify the
action taken by them. They do not ex-
pect to expend any more money than
is necessary to conserve the city's in
terest until they shall have secured the
approval of the entire plans by disin-
terested experts of the highest char
acter.
1--WE heartily approve the entire pro-
ject and recommend that the bonds be
voted"
The report is signed by w. j. Wash
burn. Willis H. Booth, A. b. Cass, Will

MUST c NICER UP

Wiulamsport, July Si-That some mom-
5css Of the wnNamsport team must
play more earnestly tn the future than
they have recently or give way tc men
who viii put forth their best endeavors
was the decision of tho directors OF the
local Association Saturday evening. Mon-
ing batting practice VIII be- insisted upon
and the men will be required to ger regu-
lar hours OF rest and keep themselves IN
good physical condition.
Tho directors also decided that there
shall be no repetition Of Fridays "un-
pleasantness Gontlcmauly dcmcanor viii
be exaoted, no matter what the provoca-
lion. although this does not mean that
they viii idly submit TO boing robbed by
resontful or incompetent officials.
They believe that there are other meth-
ods OF seeking redress more potent than
physical force or shower baths, and real-
izo that unless rowdyism is eliminated
from the Tri-state games the sport Will
soon be dead. The people Of Williamsport
whose patronage Is necessary to continue
baseball will not oountenance runianism.
No one now regrets Fridays unpleasant
incident more than Captain Welgand. and
he viii take his medicine like q man. His
absence Will materially injure the team,
but Il IS fortunate IN having lIinchman
TO hll his place mt second base. In dccid-
ing TO hold IN allegiance the cases OF APP
plegate and McCarty, President Creamer
did well. A thorough Investigation viii no
doubt show that the shower bath incident,
which occurred after the game was over.
was more horseplay than anything else.

CUT DOWN
Y0RKS' LEAD LAST WEEK
Joyful Johnnies Are Playing
a Fast Game and Gaining
or Leaders

There was some more bunch.ns a9
OF the three leading clubs Ia the rrl-
state League by the result Of the games
played during the past week York's
lead OF n points over Harrisburg of the
week previous Nas reduced 20 10 points
by the champions falling down in two
OF the Eve games they played wale
the Senators made good four games
out of FIVE. The champions still hold
undisputed sway OF the lead at pres
ent. but being compelled 70 swing the
western end OF the circuit this week
whlc Harrisburg is playing an Of IT'S
games at home win probably cause
another shift In the leadership BY this
time next week. While York seems
20 be a better road team than Harris
burg, nevertheless they are up against
stiff game on their tour this week inas-
much as Johnstown. Williamsport and
Altoona are all playing good ball, es-
pecialy the Joyful Johnnies. IN fact
the latter is creeping up on the leaders
point by point and If they can maintain
their good work they win have likely
look I'm for that bit OF bunting. They
cleaned up the majority Of their games
last week. They are to be considered
In that pennant controversy.
Wnliamsport succeeded I'm ousting the
Johnnies from third place during one
day last week but their position was
short lived and they relinquished that
hold before the next twenty-four hours
We're over. The Lumbermen seem to
be working under a hOOdoo. They squirt
for a while and then lose an their
gained ground by a slump. They have
ground this week. as they are due to
a chance to make up some Of the lost
play all six games at home. Coatesville
keeps right on the heels Of Williams
port, but does not seem able TO get the
former out of fourth place. They have
a big lead on Altoona. who Is being
pressed closely for sixth place by Lam
caster. The Maroons are pushing the
Mountaineers hard and eagerly. VIII
mington seems fated to stay right in
that last hole. OF course the Blue Hens
took on an awful handicap by taking
Lebanon's place. but even at that they
have not improved the percentage Of
the defunct club to any extent.

Brown Predicts Higher Prices for
Cotton.

Charlotte Observer.
Mr. r . Alexander, a Charlotte
cotton broker, has received the
following letter from MIR w p
Brown, the well-known cotton
merchant of New Orleans:
81 thank you very much for
your telegram of tie 25th instant
in which you say prominent fer
tilizer dealer in your town had
sold 100 tons Of fertilizer up to
this time last year against none
this year, and that the farmers
are not going to buy it. If plant
ers will stick to their good reso
lutlons, which l believe they will,
success is assured. | consider the
convention that has just adjourned
here has heen big success, and
If they carry out the resolutions
adopted aud reduce their acreage
and use less fertilizer, and hold
what they are now carrying,
there is no question in my mind
but what they will get b,g prices,
for both the balance of this crop
and the next crop. l hear from
all quarters that much less ferti-
lizer is being sold, and that a
great many orders that were plac-
ed for future delivery are being
cancelled In fact, I am interest
ed in fertilizer company and |
know that we have had orders
cancelled on us. If farmers only
know it. they have practically got
the market cornered. Exporters
are short to spinners, 1 will say,
at least 100000 to 100000
bales. pre.um most of them
are protected by futures. and if
the farmer refuses to rell, the sx-
porter will have to demand the
cotton on his futures, which Is
bound to bring about an advance
in the market sooner or later.
