the recent general prosperity of the
state.
"Our engineers estimate that the ag-
gregate mean annual flow obtainable
from the properties now under option
to us will yield at least 10000 inches of
water, from which it will be seen that
the water does not average in price
more than 500 per miners inch. The
maximum flow, however, which FORUM
ately occurs in the summer months,
during our period of greatest need,
will be much in excess of this.
"This water will have an intrinsic
value of at least $1,000 per inch when
delivered in Los Angeles county. Its
value indirectly to the future pros
perity of the country is beyond COM
putation.
1--WE have had a corps of surveyors
in the field for six months surveying
the route by which this water is to be
conveyed to Los Angeles, and find it
to be not alone a practicable one but
one of simplicity of engineering. These
surveys have been minute enough to
enable an estimate to be made ap-
proximating very closely the cost of
such structure, and we are assured
that the work can be carried to the
point of delivering this water in the
San Fernando valley for about $21,

"These figures contemplate the con-

COMPLIMENTS LOS ANGELES
San Francisco Supervisors Praise
Owens River Project

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. AT a
meeting of board of supervisors to-
day a resolution was passed, congratu-
lating Los Angeles on acquiring water
rights sufficient to supply that town
and its suburbs with an abundant
quantity and allowing for a growth of
million people, and expressing con-
fidence in the future growth and ex-
pansion of the sunny south metro
polls.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, The city of Los Angeles,
state of California, has acquired water
rights emitting it to bring 800, 100000
gallons of water per day from the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada
mountains.
Whereas, 1t is proposed to carry said
water a distance of 240 miles, in order
to supply the city and its surrounding
territory with water
Whereas. Said water is drawn from
sources of undoubted and inviolable
purity. to wit. from the granite slopes
of Mount Whitney and the ranges OF
the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Therefore, be it resolved, That the
mayor and the board of supervisors oi
the city and county of San Francisco
congratulate the municipal government
of the city of Los Angeles on the ac-
QUESTION of water supply, which in
quality quantity and distance of pro.
posed conveyance places it in the first
rank of the cities of the world.
And, be it further resolved, That the
precedent established by this act of the
United States government as advised
by its engineers in relinquishing its
project relative to this water, con-
vinces this board that the claim of the
city of San Francisco to store and ulti-
mately deliver 195,OOO,OOO gallons per
day of the waste flood waters of the
Tuolumne river through an aqueduct
200 miles long, for the use of the
greater San Francisco, must in the
very nature of its justice and necessity
be granted.
And, be it further resolved, That
copies of these resolutions be sent to
the president and the congress of the
United States, the United States re-
clamation service and the mayor and
city council of the city of Los Angeles.

Officials

Amos Hercules, you have been re-
turned from the state asylum as cured.
You have had fair trial and have
been found guilty of taking the life
of Timothy Segrue, a human being.
Therefore you will be taken from here
by the order of this court and confined
in the state penitentiary at Folsom for
the period of your natural life"
After one of the most stubborn trials
I'm the history of the local courts, At
torney j. r. Wilder. representing Amos
Hercules, recently convicted of murder.
yesterday made a last effort to secure
an insanity trial for his client instead
of the life sentence in the penitentiary.
His effort was fruitless and after an
argument by District Attorney Fred
ericks the life imprisonment sentence
was given and Hercules was taken
back to his cell.
Throughout the trial, however, in
spite of the statements that Hercules
was shamming, the accused man never
displayed any inlkling of reason.
Sent to Asylum
Hercules was arrested December 2,
19OS following the murder Of Timothy
Segrue at the Redondo car shops. He
showed symptoms of insanity at the
time and before his trial on the murder
charge he was examined by physicians
and sent to Patton asylum. Last April
he was pronounced cured and asked
to be brought back and placed on trial.
Following the conviction of Hercules
ten days ago, George Hercules, brew
er of Louisville, KY, and brother of
the accused, arrived in Los Angeles
and with Attorney Wilder made an at
tempt to secure an insanity trial for
the murderer. This was at first de-
MED by Judge Wilbur, but was later
taken before Judge Smith. In making
his affidavit yesterday for an insanity
trial Attorney Wilder gave the fol-
lowing story of the past life of the
condemned man:
About twelve years ago, brother
and sister of Hercules were committed
to state asylums in the east and Amos
has always showed signs of being men,
tally unbalanced.

An Ideal Sunday.
experience

The ideal weather of Sunday
and since was just the right
combination for making every
body glad. There has not been
a typical Sunday this year.
In describing the conditions
Sunday there was just the right
cunt Of sunshine, JUS
the proper amount of invigorat-
ing atmosphere that made those
who have horses hurry out for
drives, while the rest found
pleasure in long walks.
We have had such a disagree
able run of weather since the
first of the year that sunshine is
appreciated more than ever be-
fore.
Many remember Mark Twain
droll statement when he said :
"There's an awful lot of talk
about the weather but nothing
ever seems to be done about it."
The kind he spoke Of was New
England weather but here in
Kentucky it's different. Some
thing has been done about it, as
the sunshine of the past few
days has proven.
