FOR POSITION
Officials Believe Owens River Aque-
duct Project Will Require Men
Highly Experienced in
Great Undertakings

The question of the engineers to have
charge of the owens river project is
being thoroughly discussed since the
councilmanic investigation committee
returned from its trip into the valley.
1t Is certain that Engineer Frank
Olmsted will be retained to assist in
the work, but other engineers must also
be employed, and some of those who
are mentioned are among the highest
in their profession.
The names that have been heard so
far include G. E. Grunsky, formerly
city engineer of San Francisco, and
now at the head of the government re-
clamation service; Isham Randolph,
chief engineer of the Chicago drainage
canal; j. Waldo Smith of New York
who built the Croton aqueduct; ]. d.
Schuyler, one of the foremost irriga-
tion engineers; Sir William Willcock5
of Cairo, Egypt, who is head engineer
of the Cairo water works, the largest

ELECT DELEGATES TO
CITY CIVIC ALLIANCE
SOUTH SIDE BRANCH HOLDS A
MEETING
Members Favor Welding Various Mu-
nicipal Organizations Into One AS
ISOLATION for Mutual Welfare of
Various Sections of Los Angeles

The south side branch of the NUM-
cipal Civic Alliance held a meeting last
night at Vernon and Moneta streets at
which three delegates to the city al
lance were elected.
There is no elemnt of politics con-
nected with the new organization. The
sole purpose and aim Is to benefit the
wards which have representatives in
the alliance.
Many sections of the city have no
wants at present, but even those sec
tions are willing TO cooperate with
others which have unsatisfied wants to
the end that all sections of the city
may be benefited.
One of the representatives at the
meeting last night said: "In our ward
we have our streets sprinkled our gar
bage gathered, a new schoolhouse, fine
mail service, and all in all we have
nothing left that we could wish for.
But we wish to aid those parts of Los
Angeles which are not so fortunate as
ourselves" ..r
Another Sixth warder with the good
of the common people in mind said
Il approve of this association because
there is a chance for the common peo-
pie to have representation. In other
bodies for civic improvement it is the
wealthy class which dominates and con-
trolls the actions of the body.
"A note of warning must be sounded
here and now. If this association hopes
to accomplish anything whatever for
the betterment Of the city political par
tizanship must be avoided as the
plague"
Tonight a meeting of the Ninth Street
Improvement association will be held
in the Church of the Neighborhood at
Ninth and Wilson streets. The various
associations which have been organized
throughout the city will there be
welded into one body.
Delegates to that meeting elected by
the South Side Association are as fol-
lows: j. j. DAILY H. " Harris, j. e,
Stockwell.
1t is expected that three delegates
will be appointed from each ward as
sociation in the city who will form a
city alliance, which will be the go-be-
tween for the people and the city coun-
Gil and the mayor.

ernment
By Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 20-The
Alaska convention today adopted a
platform and number of resolutions
to be presented to the national con-
gress by delegate to be selected by
the convention tomorrow.
The platform demands a territorial
form of government. a delegate to con-
gress and numerous changes in the
mining laws pending the granting of
self-government. The passage of a law
is asked making 1t impossible to To-
cate mining claims by power of attor-
ney, designating twenty acres as a
placer claim, limiting the number of
locations by any one person to two on
amy creek or any of it's tributaries and
substituting in lieu of the $1O0 assess
ment on placer claims a license fee
of $3.50 to be placed as fund for the
building of roads and trails.
Other important features of the re-
port of the congress are for the ap-
preparation of $1,000,00O to be used in
building roads. relieving United States
judges administrative duties and plac-
ing such power in the government, re-
districting of the judicial districts and
the appointment of additional judges,

CANAL ESTIMATE MADE
Sixteen Millions Necessary for Work
During the Fiscal Year End
lna June. 1907
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-An esti-
mate of $16,O0O,OOO for continuing work
on the Panama canal has been sent to
the treasury department from the war
department to be sent to congress.
The estimate of $4,000, 600 Is for ex.
penditure up to and including the fiscal
year ending June 30. 1907. A part OF
this money will be necessary at once
and an emergency appropriation VIII be
asked as soon as congress convenes In
order that the work may proceed
1t is stated at the office of the com
mission today that unless money is pro-
vided as soon as congress convenes all
work must cease. The estimate Is
made without regard to the proposal to
issue bonds. Advocates of a lock canal
have not yet despaired of securing the
construction of such a canal, notwlth-
standing the fact that the consulting
engineers have decided in favor Of Il
sea level canal. 1t is pointed out that
the final decision rests with the presi-
dent and that the matter of time and
expense will be considered by him very
carefully. 1t is also known that the
president is anxious to have the work
completed at an early date and for
that reason he is believed to favor q
lock canal A strong minority report
i'm favor of lock canal will be made
by the five engineers who disagreed
with the majority.

BARKENTINE B STRIKES SANDS

Be Saved

REDONDO Nov. 2O.-with her stem
deeply imbedded in the beach and her
stern chained to catch the fury Of a
high but rapidly subsiding sea, the
barkentlne Katy Flicklnger is tonight
rocking wildly from side to side in
what appears to be an unpromising at
tempt to weather the elements pending
the arrival of tug powerful enough
to drag her into deep water.
The Flckinger is in command OF
Capt. Nelson, and is a vessel of $50
tons owned by the ]. r. Hanify COM
pany of San Francisco, and has been
a regular caller at this port for many
years. She was built in 1876 and has
been devoted to the lumber carrying
trade.
on Monday last the barkentine ar
rived with a consignment of railroad
ties and finished unloading four days
later, since which time her sailing had
to be delayed because of the desertion
of several of the crew and the inabil
ity of Capt. Nelson to get men to ship,
it being almost impossible to complete
crew for northern voyage at this
time of the year. The vessel meanwhile
rode at anchor two hundred yards from
shore.
Shortly before daybreak this morning
storm swept the coast and in spite
of the efforts of the captain, mates and
two sailors who were aboard at the
time the ship was washed toward the
beach, her anchor dragging and offer
ing but little resistance to the onslaught
of the sea. Shortly before o'clock
the tug Redondo (Capt. Crockett at
tempted to lend assistance to the help
less craft, but was too late, as the
Flickinger had already touched bottom
and an extended line quickly parted.
When the prov of the vessel was
within short distance of the shore line
rope was thrown over by the Jap
anese cook aboard. who then proceeded
to lower himself hand over hand. He
had gone but few feet of the distance.
however, when wave higher than the
rest wrenched him from the rope. Two
dock hands, Mead and Anderson by
name, witnessed the Jap's plight and
rescued him.
What damage the Flickinger has sus-
tained cannot be asCertained tonight.
If the weather is fair by morning a
determined attempt will be made to
save the craft.

DECIDES FOR RAILROADS
chicago Judge Rules That Order
Lowering Rates on Livestock
is Illegal
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Nov 20.-Judge Bethea in
the United States circuit court today
decided that the order issued by the
interstate commerce commission di-
recting that the railroad rates on live
stock between the Missouri river and
Chicago be lowered i'm conformity with
the rates on dressed beef was Illegal.
The Chicago Great Western and sew
enteen other railroad corporations were
the defendants in two suits brought by
the interstate commerce commission.
The first related TO the decision of the
commission I'm which the lowering OF
rates on livestock to a point where
they would conform with the rates on
dressed beef was ordered. The second
was an application on the part of the
commission for an injunction against
the railroads prohibiting them from re-
fusing TO lower the rates.
In summing up the case Judge Be
thea declared that there was no evi-
dence of collusion on the part of rail-
roads and that the rates on livestock
were not a discrimination. lie held
further that the interstate commerce
decree was not binding on the rail-
roads and that the commission had not
the power to compel the railroads to
obey its rulings.

BELIEVES IN DAMNATl0N
Rev. Or. Parkhurst Makes Some
Forcible Statements to His
Congregation
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Rev. DIR.
Parkhurst, in the Madison Avenue
Presbyterian church last night told his
congregation he believed in damnation.
"The apparent cruelties attributed to
God" he said, "are not a circumstance
to the cruelties in nature. Natural
laws pay no more attention to man
than a dog.
Saints as well as sinners were
burned in the Windsor fire and in the
Slocum disaster If God burns up a
body He will burn up soul that gets
in the way of His moral laws. The
God of love in 1,oJ destroyed 10000 per-
sons in the Lisbon earthquake. He does
not amend physical laws to save
saints.
"If man will not accept Gods moral
laws, then l should say that God will
damn him, and / should further say
that God ought to damn him."
