READY FOR THE VOTE

The voters of Los Angeles ready for the ques
ton relative to the Owens valley water proposition
Discussion the subject has been exhaustive and
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 department officials. That
confidence based what those officials already
have accomplished in the public service well as
their recognized character and standing in the
munity.
But in addition to the thorough investigation Of the
subject by the officials of the water department cumua
tive testimony of most convincing character has been
offered in favor of the proposition by competent
persons. The judgment of all such persons has been
strongly in favor of the project All in the opn
ion that Los Angeles has "the chance Of life
time" to acquire the only thing lacking in its metro
politan progress. And observer of the situation has
been able to point out single drawback to success in
concentrating the plan outlined.
Suppementing the judgment of the water officials We
have the opinions, in the first place. of eminent govern
ment engineers-men who familiar with all the
conditions involved is school youngster with the
alphabet Engineer Lppncott Of the United States
geological survey, for instance, says: "It can be
shown by measurements of this and adjoining basins
that the city is deriving practically the full benefit
of all the water which 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 future.
Not only is the of expert judgment sodly
in favor of the Owens valley proposition, but all busi
interests and home interests well back it. Every
organization in the city, representative of the people,
is record favorng the project Almost every ndi-
vdual whose views have reached the press indorse it
heartily.
There opponents of the proposition except
handful of spiteful seinterested kckers who, for
selfish interests, would sell Los Angeles at the price
Esau got for his inheritance-a Of pottage
AS The Herald has urged heretofore, however it is
important that the vote be large and the majority
overwhelming in the election next Thursday that
observers abroad may that Los Angeles means
business its upreach for place in the million class
of cities. big vote the water proposition, and
nearly unanimous in the affirmative will have power
full influence in attracting to Los Angeles many people
and a vast amount of investment capital
Every voter in the city should determine to go to
polls Thursday and cast his ballot in favor Of
bond issue Every consideration Of self and
family interest of civic pride and of love for Los An
gees calls upon voter aid in swelling the majority
in favor of the water proposition.

The life of another of Mr. Hodgson's

in its craw.
The ducks, which had remained in the
shelter of barn during heavy hall

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 few
minutes.

QUESTION FOR WATER BOARD

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4.-Edltor
Herald-As voter and taxpayer
would like to ask the water commits
sion if the bonds on which we are to
vote on September carry do they in
tend to follow the example set by the
men who have no vote and pay 40
taxes, or will they give the voters and
taxpayers who have to stand for the
expenses a chance? I think this is
very important and would ask the COM
mission to give us a guarantee that
Americans profit by the project.

Swiftly the weary sun
Sinks to its rest,
Adown the glowing sky,
Far in the west.
Up from the east, the dark
It's mantle filings
Over the blue, and night
Quiet brings.
See, tho, where now has fled
The golden day,
Streams up a glory soft.
Into the grey;
And as the afterglow,
Shivers in the sky,
Days chiefest beauty reigns,
Fen as 'twould die.
At my life's even tide,
My day complete.

Bright may a memory
