OWens RIVER SETTLERS ObJect Strenu-
ousIy to Los Angeles Plan
Special to The Herald.
RENO, New, Aug. 5.--The plans of
the city of Los Angeles to steal the
waters of Owens river and make bar
rem what is now one Of the richest Sec
tions Of Nevada and California will not
carry without a struggle on the part
of the people OF Inyo county.
A mass meeting was held at Bishop
last Wednesday to perfect means of
fighting the threatened devastation. 1t
was attended by citizens and property
owners for miles around and meeting
was called for tonight at which time
organization was perfected and a plan
of campaign agreed upon.
]. P. Lippincott, government en-
ploye, is said to be at the head of the
scheme. Los Angeles plans to pipe the
water of the river a distance Of more
than 200 miles. Already quite sum
Of money has been invested in the pro-
posed enterprise.
Owens valley supports large number
of farmers. The piping of the water
from the only stream in that section
would result in the drying up of their
crops and the utter ruin of their land
for agricultural purposes. The last
issue of the Inyo Register speaks in the
strongest terms regarding the proposed
Steal" as it terms it, and urges the
people to prompt action.

follows:
Service has had skilled officers in
New Orleans since first knowledge of
the fever. Under the law they are there
to see that interstate quarantine regu-
lations are enforced and under the same
law to offer assistance to their enforce
ment. Detention camps have been
established and are in operation to per-
ing other states, and train inspectors
are placed by the service on all trains
leaving New Orleans. Our skilled Of
ficers in New Orleans have been and are
materially aiding the local authorities
IN the suppression Of the disease.
Before formally assuming charge,
in connection with your request, have
deemed it necessary to have an UNDER
standing as to expenses. Surgeon
White in his telegram estimates the
same at fifteen hundred to two thou
sand dollars a day. The epidemic fund
will not stand this expenditure. 1 have
wired Surgeon White arrangement de-
sired is that the government should
maintain and pay for medical and ex-
ecutive control but that the expenses
for material and labor Of cleaning up
the city should be borne by the city
itself This has been the rule hereto
fore. ! am proceeding on these lines.

The city will continue to exercise its
police authority in cooperation with
the federal surgeons; the municipal au-
thorities and the citizens committee
are to carry on the campaign of clean
ing up, the two health boards are to
perform many of their functions in con-
junction with the Marine hospital serv-
ice. and New Orleans expects still to
be called upon to furnish funds to
carry on the fight. The actual hand
ling of the federal situation itself is
to pass to the discretion of the govern
ment, which, it is expected, will send
a large number of yellow fever experts
to work under the supervision of DR..
white. Rigid rules are to be made and
efficiently carried out in connection
with the scientific treatment of cases.

BILE in spite of the headway the fever
has gained, particularly in the foreign
sections below Canal street. The fact
that the number of infections in the
First, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh mum
icipal districts, which lie above Canal
street and constitute modern New Or
leans, is relatively small, leads to the
hope that vigilant observation of all
cases in that quarter, while the more
direct campaign progresses below, will
enable the authorities to keep more
than half Of the city free from serious
infections OF the deaths to date only
five have occurred above Canal street
and Of them four were Italians, who
left the infected neighborhood in the
vicinity of the French market, and the
fifth was a merchant who did business
in that quarter. OF the cases, except
those most recently reported, all have
recovered or are, on the way to recov-
cry.
Lake Borgne Trouble Ended
The trouble on Lake Borgne between
Mississippi guards and the Louisiana
Naval brigade is considered to have
ended. So encouraging were the condi-
tions today that Governor Blanchard
sent orders to Commander Bostick to
withdraw part of his force.
The Southern Pacific railway is still
having trouble in handling the United
States mail.
Much complaint is being received in
the city from people living in the coun
try districts against the arbitrary quar-
antine rules that have been put into
effect. The result of them is that many
communities are already beginning to
run short on supplies and it is desired
that the authorities here shall do what
is possible to secure a relaxation.

The pipe line to carry our crude oil
to Kansas City that has been talked
for some time seems now to be an
assured fact. Mr.. Crawford and Mr..
Martin who have been working on the
matter for some time both report
that IL is . sure 90. This will, when
completed, open up a very large
market for our oil and do great deal
for the development of the field.
There are forty.four companies in
this deal representing a daily pro
duction of over 5000 barrels Of oil and
with large undeveloped territory.
AS told heretofore, the plan is to pipe
the oil to Kansas City and by means
of refinery there prepare it for fuel.
The railroads are giving rates to the
oil men that are very satisfactory and

of the course she went proudly home
and baked a batch Of biscuit for her

her that he appreciated her baking as
