WHEN is A CALF A cow?
is QUERY BEFORE COURT
If CALF is A COW, THIS MAN
HAS TWO
Ordinance Provides That Only One
Bovine May Be Maintained, Hence
Owner Is Hauled Before Judge.
Neighbors object to "Dairles"

The old query of when is a COW not
a cow will come up today in the police
court. when John Hector of 40S North
Figueroa street is arraigned on
charge of violating the city ordinance
forbidding the keeping of more than
one cow within certain limits.
1t is understood that Hector claims
he keeps one COW and a calf. The COW
is the reputed mother of the calf which
is claimed to be old enough to be
termed a heifer.
Several experts will be summoned
to tell when calf ceases to be a calf
and is in fact a COW.
According to farm journal. heifer
becomes a COW when II begins to yield
milk. Hector's calf is said to be a
fine milker.
The prosecuting attorneys say a
number of complaints have been re-
Gently received against persons keep
ing dairies within the city limits.
The ordinance was framed to meet
such cases. the prosecutors say, and
the man with more than one COW In his
corral will be proceeded against forth

BUILD RAILWAY
TO AQUEDUCT'
AUTHORITIES WANT S. p. TO
ASSIST
Owens River Officials Hope to Induce
Magnates to Run Line From
Mojave Through Red
Rock Canyon

Efforts are being made by the mu-
nicipal authorities of Los Angeles to
induce the Southern Pacific to build
a road from Mojave northward through
the desert and through Red Rock
canyon, a distance of about eighty
miles. The railroad is to be used in
connection with the construction of the
Owens river conduit
j. B. Lippincott, supervising engi-
neer of the Owens river project, ac-
companied by T. p. Downer and S. c.
Scattergood, the latter an electrical
engineer, will leave for the Owens
river valley in a few days to make a
survey for the proposed road. The
Southern Pacific officials have not as
yet given their answer to the request
that they do the construction work, but
they have the proposition under con-
sideration.
Fred Eaton and Superintendent Null
holland originally planned to operate
the road as a municipal venture. but
certain legal technicalities found by
the city attorney showed the city's
power to do this to be questionable,
and for this reason the Southern Pa
cific has been asked to construct the
road.
This railroad will not add to the cost
of the water project according to Mr.
Lippincott. This. together with the
other features, was taken into consid-
Grafton when the approximate cost of
100000 for the construction of the
conduit was estimated.
Should the Southern Pacific refuse
to build the railroad, according to Mr..
Lippincott, it will probably be made
feasible by some means for the city
to do so, but this cannot be done with
out another issue of bonds. There is
not sufficient money left in the treas
ury from the original bond issue of
81. 100000 to build such line.
This will be the only means of rapid
transit along the line Of the conduit
The conduit will extend through the
MoiaVe desert. and in this desert there
is no transportation except by infre-
quent mule teams.
A suite OF rooms In the Union Trust
building has been rented by the city
for the use Of the officials in charge OF
the owens river work. City Attorney
Mathews has moved his Office from
the Merchants Trust building TO the
new quarters and Is deyoting a large
part of his time TO this project, The
Undertaking is to be known as the Los
ANGELES anuednct project

Fiabit-fOrming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
of the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning Injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been OF great benefit in arousng needed
attention to this subject, 1t has. in a
considerable measure, resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected OF containing the injurious ingre-
dents complained Of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, "took time by the foreock," as it
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients OF which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots of
medicinal plants found growing In the
depths of our American forests and OF
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead Of alcohol, which even In small
portions long continued, as In obstinate
cases Oh diseases, becomes nlBnly ODloc-
tionable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stimulants, DIR. Pierce em-
ploys chemically pure, triple refined
glycerine, which Of itself Is valuable
remedy in many cases of chronic diseases,
being superior demulcent, antseptic,
antiferment and supporting nutrllive.
1t enhances the curative action of the
Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark and Bloodroot, contained in
"Golden Medical Discovery, ," In all bron-
chial, throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs. AS will be seen from
the writings Of the eminent Drs Grover
Coe, OF New York; Bartholow, Of Jeffer-
son Medical College, Phila; Scudder, of
Cincinnati; Ellingwood Of Chicago !;
Hale, Of Chicago, and Others. who stand
as leaders In their several schools Of
practice, the foregoing agents are the
VerY best Ingredients that DR.. Pierce
could have chosen to make up his IA
nous discovery for the cure OF not
only bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tlOns, but also OF chronic catarrh In all
It's various forms wherever located.

900. 900 gross earnings Of ss,soo,oOO per
annum.
No Dividends for Common
Some Of the important points Of the
Southern Pacific appear to be-.
First-It has never paid a dollar in
dividends to its common stockholders
Second--That although the Southern
Pacific was considered in fair condi-
ton five or six years ago and although
the new management at that time stat
ed that s4OOOOOO0 would suffice to bring
the property up to the standard Of
transcontinental roads, nearly four
times that amount has been put into
the property In that time, of which
$50. 500, 900, or 30 per cent on the COM
pany's common stock, has come from
surplus earnings.
Third--As a result of these expendi-
lures the Southern Pacific has made
a saving in transportation costs of
49, 900 900 on the basis of S95,OOO,OO0 gross
earnings.
Fourth-Under normal operating con-
ditions and with the normal mainten-
ance expenditures of FIVE years past
to June 30, 1906, Southern Pacific COM
mon has an earning capacity of II per
cent on the basis of S95,000,000 gross
earnings

OWL CARS. NO
EXTRA EXPENSE
CURRENT KEPT ON WIRES FOR
EXPRESS COACHES
Trolley Employees State That No Hard
ship Is Imposed in Main-
tanning Continuous
Service

While Messrs. Huntington and Dunn
are considering the demands of Los
Angeles business men and residents for
an owl car service others are figuring
on whether any real hardship is ex-
perienced by the traction companies in
giving transportation service after
midnight.
Messrs. Healy and Kern of the special
committee of the council, in DR..
Houghton's absence, told Attorney
Dunn, Mr.. Huntington's personal rep
resentative, why the owl cars were
needed.
Mr.. Dunn gave the corpcration's s
reasons why it was a hardship to run
cars all night, leaving no time for the
overhauling and repair of machinery
at the power house and elsewhere, and
for the cleaning of cars.
Messrs. Kern and Healy listened at
tentively, for In the absence of Chair
man Houghton, who was sick at home,
they did not wish to make an extended
argument.
They departed with Mr.. Dunn's
promise that he would lay the case be-
fore Mr.. Huntington.
Need Not Shut Down
Old-time trolley men say that the
argument that the traction companies
need time in which to overhaul ma
chinery and clean cars is an over
drawn one.
"All power houses ant car houses
have extra equipment for emergencies
which cover all these problems of
keeping the cars in continuous service"
said one expert
There are numerous dynamos and
extra machinery which can be oper-
ated while one or more are shut down
to permit of cleaning and oiling.
with the compressed air system cars
are quickly cleaned, and while one is
being freed of dust and dirt there are
dozens of idle ones in the sheds which
can be used. 1t is quick worl. and is
done by experienced men day and
night.
''The extra equipment covers all
such situations and there need be no
interruption of any kid"
Current On, Anyway
Another point made by Pacific Elec-
trio officials was that it was expensive
to keep "juice'-electricity- the
trolley wires all night. AS long as no
owl cars were operated they said the
current need not be turned on.
LAS matter of fact" said a former
employe of the interurban system, "the
current is kept turned on all the time.
The companies need it to run their
express cars, which pay them a big
profit, and their construction trains.
1.-The Pacific Electric people can af-
ford to run car on a round trip
within the city limits for 80 cents. 1t
is the same with the other companies.
The cost of running cars Is this 80
cents plus the wages of motormen and
conductors. They can make faster time
because there are fewer stops for pas
sengers and practically no vehicle
traffic. HeLce they need fewer cars.
I'm every big city owl cars are run
and if the trolley magnates will take
some of the big profits the" make by
day and night and apply item to af-
ter midnight cars thev will not regret
the investment"

USE sEvENTY-PouND RAILS
Pacific Electric Gets Fifteen Carloads
for Covina Line

The Pacific Electric company has be-
gun laying rails in the rear of the
Huntington building for temporary
uses in entering the structure from
Santee and Ninth streets.
The express trolley cars will pass into
the big central depot basement to un-
load express and mail stuff
Fifteen carloads of seventy-pound
steel rails have arrived from Ohio mills,
and most Of them will be used at Vine
land for the new Covina line At Vine
land the Southern Pacific crosses the
Covina line.
The Southern Pacific is carrying the
rails to Vineland, the Huntington in
terests having leased locomotive from
the railway for construction work until
electric freight locomotives can be used
The steel is the heaviest in the west,
and is an assurance that the Covina
line will be the best on the Pacific Elec-
trio. Riverside, it is thought, will be
the ultimate terminus.

WALLING, |. 7.
Formerly Mc0ee

Is located on the Oklahoma Central
r. r., II miles east of Byers, and "a
miles west of Ada, in the Chickasaw
nation.
Walling is so fortunately located
as to command the trade for miles
from very thickly settled country.
The land surrounding here is black
loan, and will raise any known ce-
real. Principal crops raised: Cotton,
corn, wheat, oats, alfalfa, two crops
potatoes.
The townsite itself is beautifully
located, being on a high, rolling prai-
rie, well drained, with abundance of
pure crystal water at depth Of 30
to 40 feet. The residence part is
beautiful, being high and slightly, with
a handsome woodland park in the
center, making it delightful, health
full town to live n. No town in either
territory has started with brighter
future than Walling. The towns Of
McGee, Hart, Maxwell, Johnsonville
and Center are now moving TO Wall
ing, making an aggregate population
of 1000 at once. Railroad grade is
completed from Lehigh to Purcell, and
cars will be running into walling in
September.
Now is the time to get in on the
ground floor, as property will ad-
vance hundred per cent in the next
so days. If you are looking for q
business location, look this town over
and you will say as we have said, that
waliing will make city Of some i'm
portance.
We invite your inspection. For par

IS SURE OF HIS INVENTION
Prof. Alexander Graham Bell and
His Airship

Glace Bay, N. s., Aug. 23.-Pro-
fessor Alexander Graham Bell has
completed the airship by which he
hopes to solve the problem Of aerial
navigation. The trial trip Of his new
aircraft will be made this afternoon.
The start will be from Benn Breagh,
the country home of the inventor OF
the telephone, which is ten miles
from the little village Of Baddock
and many miles from railroad.
For six years Professor Bell has
been a student of the problem OF
aerial navigation, and he is confident
that he has at last found the key to
success in this line, as he did in the
telephone. Professor Bells hope Is
built upon the motor with which bis
aerial car is equipped. He has al
ways contended that the lack OF a
light motor with sufficient power was
the only obstacle in the way OF the
flying machine.
In his experiments Professor BEL
has eliminated the balloon entirely
from consideration, and has devoted
his energies to experiments with kite
structures. Unlike other kite ma
chimes Professor Bells product is
triangular in shape. Early in his in
yestigations Prof. Bell was convinced
that all box kite flying machines are
defective in two ways. In the frst
place the box kite is braced in a
horizontal and vertical direction, so
that cross supports have to be intro
duced into the frame, which increase
the weight adding to the flying power
and at the same time operate as an
obstacle to the wind. In the second
place the box kite type Of airship
has a serious fault in which the weight
increase with the cube as rapidly as
does the lifting power with the
square, so that the higher the kite
the less II will lift in proportion.
In view Of these discoveries Pro-
fes,or Bell was led 10 construct 2
Kite, tbe frame Of which forms : m
