To USE THE WATER
Of CACHE CREEK

VALLEJO. Nov 2s-E. p. Wander
cook, whose project for an automobile
speedway around Clear Lake, in Lake
County, was told in The Call today,
has just made another move in his
plan of improvements in the 'Switzer-
land of America" He has filed a claim
in the Recorders Office at Lakeport for
$4,000 inches of the water in Cache
Creek and announced his intention of
building dam to divert much of the
water from the outlet OF Clear Lake.
The appropriation states that VAN
dercook proposes to build a dam
across Cache Creek and that he will
construct a ditch and 7ume fve feet
wide and FIVE feet deep to carry this
water. 1t is the opinion among we'll
informed Lake County people that
there is a close affiliation between the
Vandercook scheme, the Yolo Water
Company and the Napa and Lakeport
Railroad Company and that these three
corporations have made a division OF
the territory and the natural resources
of Lake County, to which they will de-
vote their interests and their capital.

brought are successful the policy-hold-
ers will receive their money without

The bank has secured the services of
Attorneys Peck, Solinsky, Wehe and
Boyenton TO aid in the fight. Promi-

cause against the insurance companies
in the State Of Illinois, where the suits
must be filed It is expected that the
two insurance companies will be forced

BIC MAIN IS FOUND
To BE EMPTY

The Fire Commissioners decided yes
terday to request the Board of Super
visors to pass an ordinance making 1t
a misdemeanor for any one to shut on
the water from mains leading to the
hydrants used by the fire department.
Action was taken as the result of a
report filed by Chief Engineer Shaugf-
messy to the effect that 1t had been re-
Gently discovered by accident that the
twelve-inch main on Market street,
from Dolores street to Duboce avenue,
did not contain a drop of water. The
health officials opened two hydrants,
but no water flowed and the sewers
could not be flushed.
Shaughnessy investigated the matter
and discovered employees of the Spring
Valley Water Company opening the
main supply gate in the main at Mar
ket and Guerrero streets so the water
could flow into the Market street main.
The superintendent of the company
threw the blame for closing the gate
on the night men in it's employ.
Shaughnessy deems the matter of Sc
rious import, as the great conhagra-
tion following the earthquake was
caused by there being no water In the
mains north of Market street and east
of Sansome street. although they were
not broken by the quake.
