THE ELECTION TOMORROW

Los Angeles tomorrow will make response to the
mcmentous question: ITO be not to be" great
city The question is important to this community
as was the one in Hamlet's mind, expressed in the
soliloquy.
1t is not exactly question of life death concern
ing Angeles, but it very close to that point
city dwarfed stuned at the perio of most vigor
development might be kened to boy approaching
manhood, suddenly made hopeless paralytic.
There is danger fortunately that Los Angeles will
be struck by paralysis because of failure to make pro-
vision tomorrow for Its greater metropolitan develop
ment Every voter in the city closely understands
the vital Importance of the issue in the water bond
election that there can be no mistake from Of
judgment Every phase of the proposition has been
amined investigated and discussed and there is moth
ing further be done except the filling of ballot boxes
with votes in favor of the water bonds
But the certainty that the affirmative vote will
swamp the negative should not single voter
conclude that his ballot is not important Next to
assuring majority for the water proposition 1t most
important that the vote in favor of be as nearly unan
imous possible If the report must go abroad that
Los Angeles comprises kickers against the citys best
interests the of such kickers show only an
infnitesimal proportion Of the total vote.
So far as the citys direct interests concerned,
the election tomorrow will be by far the most impor-
tant in its history. The overwhelming the vote in
the Affirmative the clearer the evidence will be that
Los Angeles is destined to be the metropolis of the
Pacific coast The people of this city have the repua-
ton of pulling together in all matters concerning
prosperity of the community and they are expected
to pull tomorrow they never did before.
Tomorrow night the most momentous item of local
news ever sent abroad from Los Angeles will be given
to the wires 1t will tell all other American cities that
Los Angeles is ripe for advancement to the million
class having provision therefor by acquiring an
abundance Of the best and purest water in the world
Vote and work tomorrow with determination to
make the vote in favor of the water bonds practically
unanimous.

NOW OR NEVER

It is not an exaggeraton to claim that the Owens
valley water output will be ample for a Los Angeles
with 100000 population
At first glance that seems like provision far ahead,
but an examination of the situation shows that the
look forward is not too far At the rate of the ctys
increase within the last few years there gray
headed men today who will live to Angeles with
100000 inhabitants
If Los Angeles situated the cities
the edge of the great akes-Chicago, Milwaukee, De-
trot etc-it would not be necessary to plan in advance
a quarter half century in making provision for
water supply. These lake cities are in touch with all
the water they can need and they have only to
reach out farther akeward when they wish to increase
their supply.
Los Angeles, on the contrary, is in a semtard dis
trict with no water sufficient for city in the
million class without going long distance for it. In
respect distance, however, it does not differ from
the difficulties encountered by the great cities of
don and New York, both Of which reaching out
a long ways for water.
The only available water supply for Los Angeles
ever obtanabe the in Owens valley In deciding
upon the proposition to accept that supply the whole
question is reduced to the simple ISSUE now

Charge of Using PreserVative

Peter LoeamarcIno Must Answer
Charge of Using Preservative
Dangerous to Consumers
A warrant was sworn out yesterday
by Milk Inspector Hood, charging Peter
Logamarcino, dairyman, with having
used formaldehyde as a preservativs
for his milk. This is the first instance
in the last two years in which samples
Of milk analysed at the office of the
city chemist have shown such an adul-
terant, and an effort will be made to
enforce the full penalty. Logamarcino
has dairy in Chavez canyon and he
supplies the pest house with all the
milk consumed there.
F. Petrugetti, as a result of the dill
gence of the milk inspector, also will
have to appear in court on the charge
of having watered the milk which he
supplies to his trade. Petrugetti is q
grocer with store at 4SS Macy and
obtains his milk from the National
dairy. Two tests made of the milk
from that dairy showed the quality to
be excellent.

WILL LEAVE THE CITY
IF WATER BONDS LOSE

LOS ANGELES, Sept. s. 1905.-Editor
Herald Inasmuch as the Owens va'-
ley water proposition is the all absorb
ing topic, will you permit a subscriber
to your paper to say a few words in re-
ply to Col. Lynch's communication in
Sundays Herald? What he says is
usually correct, but when he says,
During that fifteen years the highest
rainfall for single year, or season,
more properly, running from September
of one year to September of another,
was 1918 inches in the valleys to eighty
or upward on Old Baldy," ETC., would
like to ask the colonel if he has for
gotten the great rain of February,
March and April of 1884 when he said
Gas editor of The Herald) that up
ward of SO inches had fallen for the
season."
I own considerable property here and
If the Owens water proposition is de-
feated 1 will sell out and leave, as 1
firmly believe that property will de-
preciate. I hear this man Houghton
crying "steal, graft" etc. Now
should like to ask Houghton if he can
think of a bigger steal than he him
self is guilty of drawing three hundred
dollars out of the city treasury.
If the bonds are defeated it will be
by the "stay-at-homes." Yours in fav-
or of the bonds. SUBSCRIBER.
P. 81 would not be afraid to bet
$500 that the banks and money lend
ers will consider the lands as security
better if the bonds are voted than they
do now.

EXAMPLE OF YELLOW GALL"

few days ago the gall of W. R. Hearst was
severely Jared in New York court 1t seems the
young man under the delusion that he constitutes
the larger part of the American nation and that he
an exclusive right the Of the word American"
This disclosure came out in a court case wherein
Hearst sought to enjoin the publishers Of Lesle's
Monthly from changing the name to American Illus
trated Magazine The injunction asked because
Hearst is grinding out yellow newspapers bearing the
name American" three four cities with the hope
of extending the nfiction much farther.
In passing upon Hearsts application brought in the
United States circuit court the judge declared sub
stantiay that the of the word American" for pur
poses of yellow journalism does not bar publishers of
decent magazine from using the same term. Conse-
quenty the application for injunction denied and
former Leses Monthly with which readers of The
Herald are well acquainted takes the of American
Illustrated Magazine.
If the injunction effort had succeeded it would not
have been long the rapid gall" enlargement Of
W. r. Hearst od to injunction to restrain the federal
government from using the word American" as well.

Justice. sis, 'taint tn feller what skins

Why, look ct trolley cars; my grandad

Clang! clang! went the anvils. "The
Old Oaken Bucket" was sung three
times as befitting the occasion. Then
Judge Oldboy arose and stroked his
long beard.
Moderation" said he, "befits this
ercasion. Now, Its hear from the
Hon. misrepresentation of tn Sixth
ward"
The honorable misrepresentation
arose, assumed a spooklike attitude
and wiped his glasses.
"Fellow obstructlonists, said he. 'on
only one theory do I understand this
new flop of the Examiner. We all
know that the Knockerino is like the
flea, never in the same spot twice, un-
less that spot be the candlelight-like
me. On principle-if we have any-we
are against everything and everybody
except ourselves. We attract no at
tention except by being little and small

The anvil boom encouraged him.
"The Hon. Col. Graft Hearst is a
true knocker. He Is with us. He will
get his, 1 will get mine, and you will
get yours. He is now favoring the
water bonds because he believes. as
do, that with the Knockerino for them
and myself for them it is the surest
way to beat .them!"
moments silence brought Col,
Earlydaze to his feet.
"Thet's right" he said. when ~e
skun tn Mexicans outen all this land,
did we openly go agin 'em? No; we
wu8 friendly outardly and enemies
inwardly. Is thet Col. Graft Hearst s
plan? Then l say he is still one OF
us an hez taken the best way t beat
tn game. Fer he kin stab 'em in tn
back now an no one be tn wiser!"
Whereupon even Justice Juggem
agreed that the flop was a master
stroke on the Hon. Col. Graft Hearst's
part, that the support of the Knock
erino was sure to kill the bond issue
as it had everything else it's blight
fell upon, and the 'zaminer was adopt
ed as the clubs official organ. Yellow
was decided upon as the clubs color;
it's design, sledge rampant on an an
vii couchant, the motto: "Knock, and
the bar'l iii be opened to you"
And Justice Juggem and the Hon.
misrepresentation of the Sixth ward
shook hands, while the procession
moved to the Knockerino shack for its
dole and handout.

JOHN MUIR DENIES
RUMOR OF ILLNESS

John Muir, the famous naturalist,
denies the rumors which have been cir
culating to the effect that he is seri-
ously i'll. In letter received from him
yesterday by Librarian Charles F. Lum-
mis-, the naturalist, who has been
spending some time at Adamana, Ariz,
writes that while he is tired out there
and that in a short time he expects the
bracing climate to make him as we'll as
ever His daugher Helen has been suf-
fering from lung trouble for long
time, but in the communication re-
ceived by Mr.. Lummis it is stated that
she and her sister Wanda are both
much improved in health
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-06

It was almost in a panic that the
doughty hammer wielders of the Agln-
it club met in response to a hurry call
in their rooms in Bougehon1a street
last night. The word had gone forth
that the Hon. Col. Graft Hearst, elect
ed to membership at Sunday nights
session as the especial exponent of
knockerism in newspaper circles, had
proved recreant to the trust reposed
in him and had turned tail like
kicked pup and recanted.
Justice Juggem, who had all along
opposed the election Of the Hon. Col.
Graft Hearst, when he heard of the
flop Immediately beat the anvils for n
special session and the clangor was
tremendous when the meeting assem-
bled.
"Feller anvilists," said the justice,
when Col. Earlydaze had taken the
chairs. "I tole ye so. Here we went
an give place Of honor t. this yell
Ter feller an now he skins his self in
side out like a frog an eats is own
hide. I tole ye sol"
Whereat the justice beat f1ercely on
his anvil till his hammer arm was
weary.
IT know ye kicked agin Col Graft
Hearst" said Squire Wayback, IAN
1 know we didn't pay no 'tention t
We. Why tn very night we voted him

fer he an his 'Zaminer did seem L
be agin everything maxim fer tn pro-
gress of the city. An it amt no more
honest then we be either. 1t looks bad,
feller knockers"
The anvils played a "Meserere" in b
fiat, and Col. Hornyhand, who had sup
ported the Hearst movement, arose
and tried to stem the tide.
I'VE air loosin' sight O. tn real OBJ
jeck of our meetin, feller knockers,

'lection's going t. be carried sure. We

The anvils showed plainly that Gel.
Hornyhand was off the subject.
I object!" shouted Justice Juggem,
"'taint right t. jump on this hyar

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 5.--Rat:-
road improvements in this section OF
the valley are coming rapidly of late
and the outlook for the immediate
future is that still greater improve
ments will be made. The latest in the
shape of development is the statement
that the Santa Fe will in the near
future make extensive additions to its
roundhouse in this city. The company
is already maintaining more engines
here than 1t has room for and with the
additional helper engines to be main
tanned by the Salt Lake and new en-
gines soon to be received by the Santa
Fe several new stalls must be built.
This, in addition to the large shop
extensions to be made by the Santa Fe
in the near future will continue to
make this the greatest railroad center
in Southern California outside of Los
Angeles.
The Southern Pacific is about to erect
handsome new passenger station in
Cotton in place of the present structure,
which has completely outgrown its use
fulness and will be taken down and
removed to Brawley, in the Imperial
valley. The new depot is to cost in the
vicinity of $4,000.
The work of installing block system
on the lines of the Southern Pacific be-
tween Cotton and Palm Springs is now
nearing completion and will afford per-
feet safety in the handling of trains
over the heavy mountain grades be-
tween those two points. BY the work
ing of the system all trains will be
blocked both one mile in the rear and
ahead against other trains, and thus
collisions will be practically impossible.
A drunken cholo last night attempted
to shoot Policeman Poppett, who was
arresting him. Poppett noticed that
the fellow was trying to get his hand
under his coat, when suddenly he
jerked out cloth covered package and
in an instant more would have snapped
the gun at the officer. The gun was
wrapped in the package in such man
ner that it could be discharged.

PASADENA, Sept. 5.-Coroner Trout
held an inquest this afternoon at the
undertaking rooms of Ives & Warren
in the case Of Silas OFT, the driver for
the Ganahl-Davies company, who COM
mitted suicide last night. 1t developed
that OFT has been worrying for weeks
past because of his inability to pro-
vide better for the members of his
family. This and the fact that his
work has been increasingly difficult
and the hours long is supposed to have
driven him to the act. He was an In
dustrious man Of good habits, who did
not know what it was to be idle. His
relations to his wife and three children
husband and father, and yesterday be-
ing a holiday he worked with the 9TH
ers all day long getting things ready
for the little party in honor of his
oldest daughters fourteenth birthday,
the party which was so rudely and
horribly broken up by the suicide Of
the father. Mrs. OFT is still PROSTATE
with grief over the affair and can Of
fer no other explanation of her hus-
bands act than the one given abo:e
The coroner's verdict was in accord
ance with the facts as already pub
lished.
Merchants' PIana
The board of directors of the Mer-
chants association met in regular
monthly session this forenoon. In ad-
dition to the usual routine business
two committees were appointed to look
into special matters. One committee
will meet with the superintendent of
streets in the effort to have the prin-
cipal business streets flushed with wa
ter more often than at present. The
other committee will take up with the
officials of the Pacific Electric company
the matter of fares over the new Sierra
Madre line to Pasadena and the prop
osition to lengthen the time allowed
on transfers within the city. Sierra
Madre is properly Pasadena territory
and it is hoped that the electric COM
pany will make a low fare between
that village and the Crown City. 1t
seems desirable in the interest of local
business firms that the time allowed
for transfer between cars of the elec-
trio line be made thirty minutes in
stead of fifteen minutes as at present,
and the committee will endeavor 10
have this change made. The Merchants
association will not observe Admission
day as a holiday.

M. Campbell. prominent citizen OF
New Zealand and for few days the
guest of w. D. Campbell of Hollywood,

and expressed himself so delighted with
Pasadena as to be determined to return
here shortly to make his home. Mr..
Campbell is on his way to England, re-
turning in a few months to his home
near Auckland, New Zealand. He says
that in all his travels he has never seen
so favored a locality as Southern Cali
fornia; in climate and other natural
advantages as we'll as in evidences of
material prosperity Pasadena and it's
surroundings far surpass the most
favored sections of New Zealand.
