expended about $15O,0OO. The commits

The water rights and surveys will

first issue asked for will probably be
for this amount and the others as

to complete the work the commission

For Greater Los Angeles
The water department declares that
IL its scheme of annexing all Of the
towns in this section in Los Angeles
goes through no taxpayer need be
asked for a cent after the water is
turned on, as the department will be
able to pay the interest and, eventu-
ally, the principal of the bonds and re-
tire them. They assert that they can
cut the rates In half and still the new
system would pay for itself in twenty
years.
Since the mayor and city attorney
made their trip Of investigation all of
the money paid out for options has
been taken from the water revenue
fund, which is at the disposal Of the
water commissioners. Prior to that
time Fred Eaton made several pur-
chases which were approved and taken
over by the board. For the past few
months the city attorney has passed
upon each transaction. The payment of
$500 from the revenue fund crippled
the department for money for extern
sions, but now with the options all
bought the commissioners expect to
have money for other improvements.

MULHoLLAND OUTLINES PLAN
Says II Is Opportunity Which Comes
Once In Million Years

It is to superintendent of the Water
Department William Mulholland that
the people of Los Angeles look as much
if not more than to anyone else for the
solution of this problem. Perhaps the
fact that through long experience with
him they have come to believe that he
knows more about water than anybody
else has something to do with it.
All the citizens Of Los Angeles know
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-30

veloped to light Los Angeles and all
the rest OF Southern California.
Plans for carrying out the scheme
OF bringing the water to Los Angeles
include the installation OF an electrical
generating plant. The power from this
plant is to be used in the construction
OF tunnels and aqueducts. In country
without fuel the value OF such power
can readily be appreciated.

Government Lands Secured
1t was through United States Engl-
neer j. b. Lippincott that Los Angeles
secured the title to the government
lands in the Owens valley. He and his
assistant, D. T. Perkins. visited the
valley to look after some OF Fred Ea-
toms frenzied purchases. Mr.. Lippin-

been forced, as the council would have
been, to advertise for bids on the land
OR transact business In public, every
rapcher in the valley would have want
ed to carpet his ranch with So bills
before he surrendered his title.
Fence In River
If the river Is acquired by the city it
will be fenced for the entire forty-six
miles and thus all of the water will be
protected. In "a country without fuel.
where it did not pay to irrigate with
bitches and take the water without ex-
pense direct from the river. the COM
missioners haye no fear of the pumping
stations which have drawn so much of
the water from the San Fernando
valley.
Practically the only farming now
going on in the valley is above the
Fish springs. Still farther up the val
ley, in the vicinity of Bishop. since the
Goldfield mining excitement, many
ranchers have been raising hay and
hauling 1t over the pass 120 miles to
Goldfield.
The road by the valley from Mojave
is fairly good one for such a country
and Superintendent Mulholland says
he came from Owens lake to Mojave
the other day in eight hours.
The water power and the opportuni-
ties for developing electricity in the
district are said to be almost untold.
Cottonwood creek, with it's flow OF 1000
inches. falls about 1000 feet to the mile
for part OF its course. All OF the
streams are rushing mountain torrents,
while the main river flows at what Is
declared to be terrific rate. Though
II is but about waist deep. 1t is declared
by those who have examined II that no
man could Withstand the torrent and
ford It on foot.

BY SUPERINTENDENT
WILLIAM MULHOLLAND


WILLIAM MULHoLLAND
believe this proposition to be
thoroughly practical and feasible.
There Is an abundance of water
in the Owens river to supply the
city of Los Angeles for many
years after you and are gone.
We can let the people who live
here then take care of the supply
at that time. When | left the
river at Lone Pine bridge a few
days ago the government survey
man stationed there measured the
water, and the gauge showed
slightly over 10000 miners
Inches In the stream. That Is
eight times what we are getting
from the Los Angeles river at the
present time, including both the
surface and underground flow.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-30


declares is sufficient to supply all of
Southern California for all time, the
city could not sell to other municipal-
ities.. AS the supply would at all times
be many fold greater than Los Angeles
could use and there would be no sense
in allowing all the extra water to be
wasted the scheme includes the sale Of
water to other towns and thus a profit
made to be used in paying off the bonds
and the expenses Of maintaining the
system.
Legislation Necessary y
For this reason, additional legislation
must be inaugurated and the law
changed to permit city to sell water
to another city. 1t will probably re-
quire several years to construct the
aqueduct and tunnels and there would
be time for such legislation, but theS
question as to whether Los Angeles
wants to spend the $23,OOO.OOO and trust
to the changing of the law arises.
Does the city want to take that risk?
Even without the privilege of selling
water to other municipalities, it is de-
clared the city is getting supply at
a low figure by this purchase.
Nearly every other city in Southern
California is short of water, especially
Pasadena and those in the neighbor-
hood of Los Angeles. Failing in the
alteration of the law, the scheme in
cludes the expansion of Los Angeles
into Greater Los Angeles and the an
nexation of Pasadena, San Pedro,
Ocean Park. Redondo, Long Beach and
Santa Monica. These cities all need
water and If annexed to Los Angeles.
with the new supply, their supply
would be safe for many years
Aqueduct in Desert
The route selected for the aqueduct
runs south through the desert from the
river, near it's entrance into the lake,
and thence under the mountains into
the San Fernando valley
The method employed by the water
commissioners for securing the options
and rights to the water is declared to
be the most unique ever employed by a
municipality or its representatives.
Fred Eaton owned cattle ranch in the
valley and he, with his colleagues,
started In to get options on all the cat
tie ranches In the valley buying some
Of them outright. The settlers were
elmost overjoyed in many cases to sell.
and, as this is probably the one section
OF California which is going backward
instead OF forward. they thought the
purchasers were crazy when they paid
$40 an acre for land.
No one In the valley had the slightest
idea that they were selling options to
representatives Of the city OF Los An
geles. Had the water commissioners

Freedoms Last Triumph.

Now that the days of an abb
solute monarchy, a damnable
despotism, is certainly number
ed, and the end is at hand, where
the handwriting on the walls of
Emperor Nicholas palace reads,
God has numbered thy Kingdom
and finished i, " let us for a mo-
ment look its beginning.
Peter the great is credited with
really founding modern Russia.
That country contained more bar
barism than Senator Beverage
found in New Mexico two years
ago when he brought up in Ell
Paso, Texas, to examine into the
qualifications of this territory for
statehood.
Well, who was Peter the Great?
Let a down East comical genius
tell us something about him:
Pete was undoubtedly a great
man in many ways. He was GER
tainly bound to gather informa-
ton, and there wasn't a lazy
bone in his body, but in compar-
ison with Pete Bengal tiger
would seem like a turtle dove
Nothing suited him better than
to order a few dozen of his SUBJ
jects' heads cut off, and then To
do the chopping in person.
He grew offended at his own
son, the heir-apparent to the
Russian throne, and ordered him
killed, not only killed, but tortur-
ed, with less conjunction than
the dog killer of the Igorrotes
seems to feel over the snuffine
out Of the life of a canine. Think
of a man who could condemn his
own son to torture and the next
day go out on a pleasure excur-
sion.

The enormous demand for rail-
road ties, has never to any extent
denuded the dense forests in the
vicinity of Deming. Our forests
still grow, blossom and waste
their fragrance on the desert air.
The tornea and mosquito make
excellent fuel, but for obvious
reasons are not in demand for rail-
road ties. But this is not be-
cause there is no demand for tie
timber. We learn from high au-
thority that there are about 60
100000, ties in use by the rail-
roads of the United States at the
present time; that the average
life of a tie is about ten years.
and that the requirements for re-
pairs, requirements and extern
sions are simply enormous. To
meet the present demand, it is
necessary to strip 100000 acres
of timber every year. not includ-
ing the timber needed for bridges,
stations, machine-shops and other
buildings, and construction work.
Each year the base of supplies
is removed farther and farther
away. The railroads of Pennsyl-
vania now have to go to Georgia
and Alabama for yellow pine and
to Virginia and West Virginia for
white oak ties, and the demand
is so great that another decade
will probably close these sources
of supply.
Some of the eastern railroads
have commenced planting timber
to meet future needs, but if some
inventive genius would strike a
combination that would produce
a durable and sufficiently elastic
tie, to meet the present and pros
pective demand, he wouldn't be
found sitting on a beer bar
rel, complaining of dull times,
but on the other hand would be
compelled to hump himself the
remainder Of his natural life to
keep up with his orders.
