The Brewers, Influence.

eAAAeNAN~s
Rev. James Thomas CofFey, a
Catholic priest of St. Louis, says
that the brewers of St. Louis
control the city. Not in theo ny,
but in fact, lie says: They own
us, body and soul. The police
have been, and are still, their
pawns. Every bank, trust com
pany aud prominent law firm of
st, Louis is bound hide and soul
to the brewers. Their money in.
terests are enormous. They own
1000 of the $500 saloons in St.
Louis. They own the keepers of
these places and the 1000 barten.
ders. And, as each saloonkeeper
controls at least twenty-five hang
ers on, they have direct evil inau-
ence over ~, 900 men.
Indirectly, the brewers, thru
their pawns, the saloon keepers,
whom they have established in
business, control the butcher, the
baker, the grocer and even the
corner news stand. Then they
have large influence with real es
tate men-as they are among the
heaviest leasers and steepest rent.
ers of property. We might say,
without exaggeration, that almost
every line of business is affected
by the millionaire brewers lnhu-
ence.
Think, then, of the army of
supporters, political and other.

command when needed! The
brewers contlol politics, in both
great parties in St. Louis. Ia
this manner they have attained

the law courts and the law max
ing power of the city. Butler has
always been a faithful servant of
the brewers and their friends.

and Wainwright IN the bOouIe

In the Anti WineroOm move

PLENTY OF WATER, BEST
QUALITY, CAN BE HAD
AT MODERATE EXPENSE

AS regards quantity and quality OF
the water and practicability and cost
of bringing the Owens river supply to
Los Angeles, the special committee OF
the Municipal league has submitted a
most convincing report. The COM
mittee says there are no grounds, so
far as the members can learn, of ques-
tioning the feasibility of securing the
water. Following is the report;
From the examination of mass of
testimony, documentary and otherwise,
entirely too extensive to reproduce. we
would submit that we have investigat-
ed and reached conclusions upon the
five following questions:
"First-As to the abundance of the
water supply of Owens River valley.
"Second-As to the quality of the
water In Owens river and tributaries,
"Third--As to the practicability of
bringing such water to Los Angeles,
from an engineering point of view.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDS
OWENS PROJECT ALL 1T
is REPRESENTED TO BE

In its report to the joint committee
of the chamber of commerce, Municipal
league and Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association the subcommittee
gives a detailed account of the excel
lence of the Owens river country. The
subcommittee finds the project all that
it has been represented to be. Follow
ing is the report:
I'VE proceeded to Lone Pine, which
is situated in the southern part of the
valley, where, in company with Fred
Eaton, we drove to Owens lake and
found that their report as to the recess
sion of the water of Owens lake ap-
peared to be true.
I'VE, then started north, following
the river as closely as possible. to
Citrus station. We first crossed the
river at the upper Lone Pine bridge
and took out first samples about three
miles above that place, at what is in
tended by the engineers to be the point
for the pumping station: Here we took
two samples of two gallons each. one to
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-03

terest that any of you would feel had
you made the same trip, we venture to
suggest that steps be taken by your
honorable bodies to promote an outlet
to our city for not only the products
of Owens valley but the, products of
Southern and Central Nevada, which
include Tonopah Goldfield ard other
rich mining camps.
ut is undoubtedly fact that every
thing south of Mound house in Nevada
would come to Los Angeles if a rail-
road were built from Mojave into Owens
valley. They want to come here and
1t would be a saving of fully half the
distance to San Francisco. .'.: 80
Healthy Locality
referring to the reports we have
heard concerning health conditions and
the quality of the water in Owens
river we desire to say that upon inves-
tigation we are satisfied that no more
healthful locality exists in the state of
California than the Owens river valley,
and while it is a fact that the residents
of that valley seldom drink water
directly from the river it is only be-
cause the region is so prolific with
mountain streams of the purest crystal
water, more conveniently located to the
settlements than the river itself, that
the people naturally prefer the water
directlV from the mOuntains
"And finally, not being experts in any
of these matters but believing that you
wish US to give you the results of all
our observations while on the trip, we
have done so to the best of our ability
and trust that our findings will meet
with your expectations"
The: report is signed by H. c. Wilmer,
M. Lissner and Fred A. Hines.

| rights already acquired we have at this
| time flow of at least 1900 inches OF
water. This is undisputed by all of
whom inquiries were made, even those
who are opposed to our coming into
the valley. 1t is an absolute fact, be-
yond question of doubt, that during a
number of months of each year there
| flood waters that run to waste. We
! were told by those who have been in
the valley from thirty to thirty-five
years that there has never been a
single year in which snow has not fall
len on the mountains in large quaint
tiles. The flow of the river at Charles
Butte has been known at such times
to amount to $4,000 and even 10000
inches.
"For the information of your COM
mittee we would say that if all the
water which belongs to the land south
of the north line of Rickey's ranch be-
longed to the city, the time could
hardly come when Los Angeles would
rot have sufficient water for all it's
| needs.
III Reports Sent Out
"The feeling that has been engen-
dered In Owens valley through mis-
leading newspaper reports and mis-
understandings on the part of the peo-
PIE residing there is very keen. This
| is particularly the case in the northern
part of the valley, and our trip to
Bishop. we feel was particularly op-
perfume as, having one of their local
engineers with us, we were enabled to
explain some things to them which
brought about a much better feeling
on their part.
"If we were to advise at this point
we would say that if an invitation
could be extended to a committee OF
their leading citizens to visit your
bodies in Los Angeles, great deal OF
harmful opposition to our future plans
could be obviated. One who has not
| been in the Owens valley and seen its
possibilities cannot realize the disad-
vantages under which they have been
| living. The railroads have been charg-
ing an exorbitant rate of freight for
their products, and only since they
have secured market in the Tonopah,
Goldfeld and Bulldog districts, have
they been able to dispose of their
! output at all. Their fruits have rotted
upon the ground, and just at this time.
when they seem to see possibility of
future prosperity, and coming upon
them unawares as this project did, in
such manner as to make them believe
we were going to take all of their wa
ter and virtually freeze them out, not
knowing the real facts of the case and
really having no way of finding them
out they have become needlessly
frightened. e

III, and the other, marked II in the
same manner, we sent to director agri-
cultural experiment station, University
of California, Berkeley.
Drank the Water
According to the estimate of Mr.
Eaton there were flowing at this point
at that time about 750 inches of water.
We drank freely of the water, which
we found to be perfectly clear and, SO
far as we could see, pure and excep-
tionally good.
1.-The next point of interest we came
to was Stevens canal, which we crossed
on the road to Citrus station. At this
point the water appeared to be about
sixteen inches deep and twelve feet
wide. We crossed Owens river again at
Citrus bridge, where we found more
water in the river than at the pumping
station. Mr. Eaton estimated the flow
at probably 1000 inches. The water was
perfectly clear and we all drank freely
of it. Between this point and Citrus
station there is a small ditch carrying
q nice flow of water, of which we own
portion and can secure the balance
we understand, whenever we desire.
Fright at Citrus station is the east
side ditch, which we understand to be
the largest ditch in the valley and OF
which we own nine-tenths. The water
int the ditch at this point is about
twenty feet wide, with an average depth
of about two feet. From this point on
there are several small streams in
which we have no interest. For in
stance, flowing into Independence is the
Independence creek and Little Pine
creek, and above there is Oak creek
These, with several other small streams
would add materially to our supply
and the water is of excellent quality
At Black Rock Spring
"The next important water supply be-
longing to us is Black Rock spring
This has magnificent flow of water
coming out of volcanic rocks on the
Hickey ranch. This appears to us tc
be as fine, clear water as any we had
seen. To give you an idea of the size
of the spring we would say that it Is
estimated by the government engineers
to have a constant flow of 1000 inches
We heard from other sources in the
valley that the water from this spring
contained nitre and arsenic. but to con-
tradict this even the people who told
us admitted that they and every one
passing up and down the valley did not
hesitate to drink of the water every
time they passed.
"It has fine flavor and seems to us
to be splendid water. This of course
will be proven by the analysis of the
two samples we took from there which
we're sent to the chamber of commerce
and to Berkeley.

Catarrh is not confined to the win

acquired by the city, and believing the
most important point from which we
could secure the final samples to be at
the place of the proposed intake we
proceeded to Charles butte, and there
filled the two remaining demijohns from
the river proper. The one marked V
was sent to the chamber of commerce,
while that sent to Berkeley was marked
VI. The river at this point appeared
to be about forty feet wide and had an
average depth in the neighborhood of
twelve inches. The water here was not
clear and was running at a velocity of
two feet. to the second. Just before
reaching Charles butte we were met
by a local engineer an old resident of
the valley, who at our request pro-
ceeded with us for the balance of the
trip through the valley.
1--WE, therefore, had at Charles butte
two engineers. and their estimate of
the flow of water at this point was from
$500 to 5000 inches. We afterward
learned that man named James Dowd
had opened flood gate they have In
the dam of Fish Springs reservoir,
which probably had the effect of max
ing the flow at Charles butte several
hundred inches more than normal.
There are two fine springs flowing sew
eral hundred inches of water out of the
lava beds at Charles butte, the quality
of which appeared to us in all respects
to be equal to that at Black Rock
springs.
Quality Unquestioned
Several miles above Charles butte,
but still on the Hickey ranch, is Fish
spring. The quality of this water is
unquestioned and it has a flow equal to
Black Rock spring, about 1000 inches.
The flow of the spring, of course, is
given in the estimate given of the
amount of water found at Charles
butte, as its entire output flows direct
ly into the river just above that point.
Our work, so far as the quality and
quantity of the water was concerned,
seemed to be completed at this point,
for we understand that the city has ac-
quired no rights above the Hickey
ranch, which ends a short distance
above Fish spring, but having the
time, we continued our drive UP the
valley as far as Bishop.
Water Low Now
ITO sum up the results OF our exam
ination we beg to say that we are sat
isfied there is less water probably in
the valley at this time than there has
been at any time during at least the
past ten years. This condition has been
brought about by the snow having
fallen in such a way that it melted
more quickly than usual. These facts
were confirmed by every one of whom
inquiries We're made, some of whom
were the Oldest. residents of the valley,
having lived there from thirty to thirty
five years.
with all of these adverse condi-
tions, we are satisfied that from the
