should be relieved from the condition
set forth in the following resolution
adopted by the New Century club of
Pasadena, March o. 1906:
Whereas, II is clear from the re-
ports of such scientific students OF our
water situation ais Engineers Allin and
Clapp and United States Geologist Ar
mold that the city of Pasadena is draw
ing heavily upon the rapidly lowering
supply Of water upon which the city of
Pasadena is dependent, and that the
future growth of the city is seriously
menaced, and, whereas, the Owens river
seems to be the only available new
source of water supply and immediate
action seems imperative If Pasadena
is to share with Los Angeles the inn
mense benefits to be derived from that
source Of supply; therefore be 1t
Resolved. That the New Century
club urges upon the Pasadena board
of trade the importance and necessity
of bringing this subject before the citi-
zens of Pasadena for immediate and
careful consideration and asks the
board to take such action as the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation seems to de-
mand.'
Consolidation 10 Imperative
ut is the opinion Of the commission
that 1t is imperative for the best in
terests of the cities surrounding Los
Angeles to consolidate without delay
and participate in voting the requisite
bond issues for the Owens river pro-
ject. The territory other than that of
the city Of Los Angeles embraced with
in the proposed consolidated city and
county would become a part of such
consolidation upon extremely favorable
terms by reason of the fact that the
city Of Los Angeles owns at present a
water plant worth millions of dollars,
and that bond issue of one million
five hundred thousand dollars has al
ready been voted. for the payment of
which the present area OF the city Of
Los Angeles is alone answerable, and
which cannot become a charge against
territory outside the present city linn
its.
''The plan of consolidation that is
ultimately adopted should provide that
any locality coming into the consolida-
tion should become liable for its Just
proportion Of such bonded indebtedness
as may be incurred from this time for
the completion of the Owens river pro-
ject. 1t must be manifest to all that
the territory receiving the benefits OF
the Owens river project should like
wise be willing to bear it's Just propor-
tion OF the burdens and Join in such
consolidation without delay.
Terminal Rates and Facilities
"The commission is of the opinion
that Justice demands that terminal
rates with. equitable switching privil-
eges and facilities should be accorded
to all portions OF the consolidated city
and county OF Los Angeles by the
various railroad companies doing busi-
ness within the territory OF said con-
solldated city and county; and In the
event Of failure to obtain the same II
may be necessary that any charter TO
be hereafter drafted for such consoli-
dated city and county should contain
a provision permitting the construction
by such consolidated city and county
Of one or more railroad lines within
the same. each Of said lines TO have
one OF its terminals at some port with
In said consolidated city and county,
for the purpose Of assuring free and

open competition to all steamship lines
and other sailing craft desiring to
transact business with the merchants
and inhabitants of said consolidated
city and county. The above must not
be construed as expressing an opinion
upon the general subject of municipal
ownership.
Immediate Action Urged
"At the beginning of it's labors the
conclusion was reached by the COM
mission that before the plan of con-
solidation could be submitted to the
people and become effective certain
constitutional amendments were neces-
sary. Upon learning that a special ses-
sion of the Legislature was to be called,
In order to save the time which would
necessarily elapse before the next regu-
lar session of the legislature, the COM
mission endeavored to have included in
the call for the special session a pro-
vision for the submission to the elect
ors of the state at the coming Novem-
ber general election Of such constitu-
tional amendments as would make
consolidation possible Had the COM
mission been able to accomplish this,
it would have advanced consolidation
more than two years The chief exec
utive of the state, however, did not
see fit to incorporate such proposals in
the call and the cause of consolidation
must, therefore. wait until the next
session of the legislature in 1907 and
the general election in 1908 before the
needed laws can be provided.
Suggestions Of Committee
Pending this necessary delay and
in order that the plan of consolidation
may be furthered, your committee
would recommend.
First, that the territory lying between
Los Angeles, Wilmington and San Pc
dro be annexed to the city of Los An
geles, to the end that consolidation of
the cities of San Pedro and Wilmington
may be had with the city OF Los An
geles under existing laws.
Second, that such other contiguous
territory which is included within the
boundaries above proposed be annexed
as rapidly as the residents thereof and
the electors of the city of Los Angeles
take the proper procedure therefor
"The annexation of territory contigu-
GUS to Los Angeles. as outlined in the
above report, would simply be a
preliminary measure to the ultimate
plan Of consolidation. and would in no
wise affect or prevent such consolida-

dro and wilmington for the purpose
OF developing and realizing all the
wharfage space possible In the West
Basin.
"Third--That the attention be imne-
diately called and the services enlisted
Of our representatives. in congress,
Denator Flint and Congressman Nc
Lachlan. In behalf Of an additional ap-
preparation for the compilation Of the
dredging at the entrance Of the inner
harbor. to-wit: the removal OF the re-
naming 10000 cubic yards Of dirt.
which, when done. will insure a safe
and easy entrance to the inner harbor-
The removal Of the aforesaid dirt can
be accomplished In sixty working days.
Also an additional appropriation for
the dredging OF the inner harbor SO as
to provide a depth of twenty-five feet
from Deadmans island to the terminal
point of the Salt Lake railroad some
1000 feet.
'Fourth--In consideration Of the fact
that there will shortly be available
approximately nine miles of wharfage
additional to what San Pedro now pos
sesses and about six miles that can
be developed in the Turning Basin and
West Basin, we most respectfully rec
ommend the adoption of the last sug-
gestion, most important to the citizens
Of Wilmington, San Pedro and Los An
BelSS, udIneiy.
Annexation Is Urged
THAT immediate steps be taken for
the annexation to Los Angeles OF the
Intervening territory lying between Los
Angeles and the cities of Wilmington
and San Pedro. so that the citizens of
Wilmington, San Pedro and Los An
geles and the citizens residing In the
intervening territory to be annexed
may have an opportunity Of consolida-
ton should they consider it to their
mutual advantage to do so. San Pedro
Is an enterprising and progressive
community with a population of 5000
inhabitants and with its magnificent
harbor occupies the enviable position
of being the ocean gateway to Los
Angeles.
wilmington Is an important and
progressive city occupying command
ing position on the widest part Of the
inner harbor, her site being most de-
sirable for the location of factories,
warehouses, railway terminals and the
heavy business of the inner harbor.
We are firmly convinced that the con-
solidation of San Pedro. Wilmington
and Los Angeles will add much to the
material prosperity of the three cities
and insure to them all a much greater
and more prosperous development"

Fall River, Mass, Feb. 20.-Oficers
of the Fall River liner, Plymouth,
which arrived today, report that a
woman, whose name is not known,
who boarded the boat at New York
during the night, threw her three little
children into the sound and then
leaped overheard. None of the bodies
were recovered. The woman left a
pocketbook and note addressed to
John Waters, Brooklyn" saying that
the writer was Respondent and tired
of living and had thrown the children
overheard and was about to follow

Boise, Ida, Feb. 20.-Attorneys from
Denver arrived here today to look aft.
er the interests of Meyer and Haywood,
and were permitted to have a long in
terView with the prisoners. The con-
tession of Orchard, duplicating Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone in the murder
of Governor Steunenberg, Is said to be
very explicit. Orchard was selected to
do the trick, and he says he went on
Christmas night to the governors
home, with murder in his heart, and
watched ~Steunenberg with his family
celebrating the Yuletide, and fearing
that a charge of buckshot with which
he intended to do the bloody deed,
would injure or kill other members of
the family, he withdrew, to think up
a better plan to effect the death of the
governor and to wreak veng-
eance on him for the part he played in
the Couer d'Alene troubles.

Murder Is Charged.

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 2O.-Haywood.
Meyer and Pettibone arrived here late
yesterday and were placed in the peni
tertiary. They asked legal advice and
this was granted. General Buckley
Wells of Colorado delivered the prison
ers to the penitentiary. The complaint
upon which Governor Gooding of Idaho
issued requisition papers and Governor
Mcdonald granted %extradition papers
does not charge these three men with
being accomplices in the assassination
of ex-governor Steuenenberg, but
charges them outright with the murder.

who together with their o and Mrs.
Jacob Berner and children, is visiting
in California for the benefit of her
health. Mrs. Hansen says she has seen
very few pleasant days since her ar
rival at Oakland and she longs for the
bright sunshine of Wyoming, which she
declares is plenty good enough for her.
Mrs. Jansen was referred by her ply

ORCHARDS STORY IS
SAID To Be EXPLICIT

arrest of Charles H. Meyer, president
of the Western Federation of Miners,
and William D. Haywood, secretary and
treasurer, the feeling being general
that they have not been given a square
deal. Dispatches received from Boise,
Idaho, this morning, say the men are
not allowed the benefit of counsel, are
in separate cells n denied all COM
m~unication with the outside world. 1t
is known that the feeling in Idaho is
very intense against them, and that
the Pinkertons have evidence which
would surely convict them. Violence Is
by Meyers and Haywood's
friends here, because the confessions
have so stirred up the Idaho people
that they may make an attack upon the
penitentiary.

Owns Large Coal Areas.
The new road represents the hold
ers of large areas of coal lands in this
state, including the holdings Of the
Monarch Coal company at Cooper hill,
in this county, and the Elk mountain
fields in Carbon county, and it is the
intention of the company to build the
road to those fields and develop the
measures for the production of COM
mercial coal. That, in fact, is one Of
the objects in building the line, al
though, according to a member of the
board, the road will reach rich lumber
districts and stock centers of large
area and great productive power. The
company is incorporated to embrace
a number of industries.
All Day Session of Board.
The board was in session last night
and the most Of today, n of the mem
hers declaring that it would be unable
to complete its duties without a night
session tonight. The fasteners are
~devoting their time to business mat
ters in the Office of the company and
have as yet paid little attention to the
city. They will be shown about the
town by the resident members of the
board and will meet a number Of the
most prominent citizens.
The members declare the company
is prepared 10 build the line and will
accept the glad hand" from the peo-
pie of this community. The road is
amply provided with funds and it is
the desire of the company to build to
Laramie, and are expecting to receive
the cooperation of the people here.

in One Part of Workings.

DR.. Swigart, who came in from the
Strong mine this morning, intending to
remain only a day or two in the city,
brought word that the ore in the ESQ
from the shaft, continues good, the
body being as wide as the drift and
the quality remaining as good as at
first. A cross-cut was started this
morning to determine the extent of the
ore body, the cross-cut going from a
point sixty-five feet from the shaft on
the drift. There is every indication
that it will require some cutting to go
through the ore body.
Gold in Iron Ore.
Since coming to town this morning
DR.. Swgart received return from some
samples he submitted for assay. The
samples are from that portion Of the
mine carrying iron ore. The iron and
copper were separated and a test made
of the iron ore, the return showing
