LOS ANGELES, Aug. S.-The
plan to bodily capture the dashing
mountain streams of the snow
capped Sierras, guide them 240
miles across mountains and desert
into the thousands of homes of Los
Angeleans, pronounced as great an
engineering feat as was ever at,
tempted is now almost certain to
be put to the test.
A bond issue of $500, 900 has
been voted to complete purchase
of water rights and the city prac-
tically stands committed to the ex-
penditure Of at least S20,O00,000 to
turn the Owens rive and its trip
utaries into Los Angeles hydrants
within five years.
b Los Angeles, at the rate 1t Is
growing now, will be thirsty by
that time If not long before. The
city now depends on the Los An
geles river.
, Owens river, with a daily flow
OF 400,000000 gallons, now empties
into Owens lake. 1t is proposed to
divert the water from the river
with a 100 loot dam 81 miles above
the lake, at an elevation of 1928
feet above sea level. There are
several natural reservoirs In the
vicinity.
1t will be necessary to build II
miles of 14x11 foot tunnel through
solid granite mountains. The tun-
neling will determine the time re-

Forty miles will be along hill
sides and the remainder will re-

be set down. This will be recon-

Banks Hurt by Mail Order Houses.

1t is only lately that bankers of the
mail order system of business has been
a serious injury to them, killing off the
business of their towns, taking out of
circulation money that should help swell
the local bank deposits, and otherwise
interfering with town progress, says the
Wichita Price Current.
The trouble has been with many bank
ers that they failed to consider the buy
ing-gOods- away home evil as any
thing Of particular concern to them.
When Farmer Smith would buy draft
of fifty or a hundred dollars to send to
Chicago, the banker got his 10 cents
exchange and thought he was that much
ahead, while the facts remained that if
he could keep the money from being
sent from home, that $50 Of the farm er
for the banker might make dollar or
two of profit.
1t was only when the catalogue houses
started in to solicit deposits of the peo-
pie Of country towns and farming COM
munities that the bankers took tum-
BILE, and only a small number of them
have yet opened their eyes as they
should.
Then again, many bankers have such
an exalted idea of their position in the
town that the goods to be had from the
local merchants are not good enough
for themselves and families, and set a
bad example before the people by send
ing away themselves for what they de-
sire in the way of staples and lu1uries.
1t would be we'll for merchants in every
country town where there are banks to
take this question up with the bankers
and enlist their support in discouraging
their patrons from sending away from
the community.
Bankers are conservative, and are not
forward in making suggestions to their
patrons as to what they should do with
their money, but in this matter it ap-
pears sufficiently important to Justify
the exercise of what inflence the banker
can command in behalf Of home pat
ronage.

1t Takes Courage to Win.

The person who aband0ns cause be-
cause it is difficult of accomplishment, is
not the one selected to carry out great
reforms. Experimenting statesmen are
not constructed out of this kind of mate
rial. If the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment is desirable, it should not be
ridiculed because it is unpopular in the
North. Mississippi's greatest constitu-
ton was not popular in the North, but it
is an accomplished verify and one of the
greatest constitutions in the Union.-

hundred dollars year to feed the starv-
