LAKE VINEYARD
AND CITY MEET
OFFICIALS AND DIRECTORS AT
LAST CONFER ON WATER
Meeting Means That Negotiations re
on Again for the Purchase of
-Four Great Plants by
Pasadena
Pasadena Agency,
16il East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 762.


PASADENA, Nov. 12.-One of the
most important meetings regarding
municipal ownership of water was held
this evening between the officers and
directors of the Pasadena Lakes Vine
yard Land and Water company, the
largest water company in the city, and
the city officials. This meeting, or the
fact that it is held at all, indicates
that the city has resumed negotiations
with the companies to secure the
plants of the several water-furnishing
organizations,
When all former actions looking to-
ward the purchasing of the plants of
the several companies were rescinded
some weeks ago by the city council
by vote of to 2 many charged open
ly that the move was simply one to
kill the whole municipal water owner
ship project. The city administration
pleaded that the previous steps for
securing the plants were illegally taken
as the bonds were voted to purchase
"all of the equipment of the COM
panies, whereas two of the largest of
the organizations cannot give clear
title to "all' of their system. as people
living outside of the city get water
from them and have, therefore, prior
rights.
This contention was made light of in
certain quarters and the meeting held
this evening will go a long way to re-
assure the people of the city that the
administration is giving square deal
in the water matter.
All four Of the largest companies
We're invited to four separate con-
ferences last week and none of the
boards of directors showed UP on the
designated nights. This neglect on the
part of the companies was also con-
strued to indicate that the water peo-
pie, sore at having the previous agree
'ment for sale fall through, would re-
fuse to meet with the present admin
istration.
AS matter of fact, the various
boards do not wish to come to a con-
ference without first holding a board
meeting to talk things over and settle
on some course of action. The meeting
this evening shows that negotiations
are really on again and for that reason,
while nothing official is given out, the
session is most important. The other
three big companies will doubtless fol-
low the course of the Lake Vineyard
company and attend later conferences.

BurIy Asylum Attendants Force
Woodsman Into Tub After Unpre-

Portland, Ore.-After battling va
liantly for three hours with four burly
men, Jake Fox, Oregon's original
unwashed," who for more than so
years has stunned water as though
it were some poisonous fluid to touch
which meant instant death, is I'M
washed no longer. To his great indig-
nation, aged Jake has been forced to
battle.
For 60 years of more Jake Fox,
erstwhile trader, trapper and wagon
maker, dwelt in peace on the sunny
banks of the Calapoeia river at AL
bany, Ore. Although he liver upon
the very banks of the stream, Fox had
no use for the contents of the brook,
and declared an effectual boycott on
aqua pura, both as to external and
i2ternal application.
Jake's abode was a little cabin in
an isolated spot near the edge of the
village, and he was on object of ter
ror to the youngsters who used to
pass that way and of disgust to the
more clearly neighbors whereabouts.
Many Intellectual attempts were made
by the good people of the town to
prevail upon Jake to remove at least
few coats of dirt which was the ac-
mumulation of years, but he would
have none of it, and turned deaf ear
upon their pleadings.
Dressed in buckskin, even in the
latter days of his residence in the
town, which he had seen grow from
crossroads to thriving little city,
old Jake Fox made a peculiar figure
as he passed along the streets Sur

amazement as he stalked by, and

so long as did his anti-water crusade,
for during the last few years of his

to sit for photograph.
He went to the artists studio and
had the negative taken. The pho
tographer printed two of the pictures,

Sulphur, l. T.-Worshipers at the

Men and women climbed upon seats

the rabbit escaped.
Mayor McGinnis has been appealed
to by the women of the Baptist church

the most innocent of all the sports,
and that every jack rabbit is given
chance for his life by outrlnning the
hounds. He says "Old Eli" escaped
eight times in Nebraska, and is here
to give the crack racers another
chance at him. Eli is being closely
guarded, because $500 has been wa
gered on his ability to outrun all
greyhounds at the meeting.

wEE OF ARMY OFFICER HIDES IN
COAL BUNkERS.
JOINS LATTER AT SEA.
Niece of Late President Mckinley De-
termined to Go to Philippines
With Husband-Truth Is
Learned on Transport.

Des Moines.-From mistress OF the
white House to a starving stowaway
on a dirty transport is the startling
transformation which love worked In
the life of the niece Of the late Presi-
dont .EcKinley, Miss Grace Mckinley,
nov rfe wife of Captain Grayson VII
lar fsasGt, until lately of the Elev-
enth cavalry.
The story has just leaked out at the
army post in military social circle
gossip-but the secret is being guard
ed there still as well as it can be.
The girl bride of Captain Heidi her.
self told the story jokingly in letter
which she wrote to friends at the
most from Honolulu.
When Miss Mckinley became the
bride of Captain Heidi, July 10, in Des
Moines it was with the expectation
of spending a honeymoon with the
captain in America. Well did she
know the stern realities of life which
an army bride must face.
Her own experiences were proof OF
that.
When Miss Mckinley was but three
years old her father, James Mckinley,
brother of the president, died. She
was educated at Mount Holyoke col
lege and while still a student there
visited President Mckinley at the
White House. The stately girl was
asked to remain. Prospects of social
leadership as practical mistress of the
White House, with the presidents in
valid wife, were offered her. She de-
clined. She wanted to be school
teacher-to be independently make
her own place in the world. The
president urged her to remain-in
vain.
She turned her back on social tri-
unphs in Washington and became a
teacher in the Philippines. 1t was
while she was visiting her brother,
Captain James Mckinley, on the
Island of Iolo, that she met Captain
Heidi. 1t was love at first sight, but
the captain told the girl that she must
postpone the wedding until their re-
the wedding was solemnized at Fort
Des Moines.
Hardly had the wedding bells been
rung when all their plans for a honey
moon were spoiled. Captain Heidi re-
ceived orders to go to the Philippines.
Miss Mckinley might have used her
influence to have the order changed,
but she was a soldiers wife and she
did not intend to use the prestige of
her name to influence the war depart
ment, But she had plans of her own.
Though she remembered her hus-
bands opinion of the Philippines as
place for women she secretly deter
mined to accompany him.
Although she brought all the influ-
ence she was able to bear on the war
department to consent to her sailing
on the transport with her husband,
she was unsuccessful. Captain Heidi
accepted the inevitable and his bride

Which Gives Up Chase

Sioux Falls, S. D.-As the result of
roping a mountain lion Nate Gardner,
a Fall River county ranchman, had
the time of his life and an experience
that he does not care to have re-
peated.
While riding along on his horse the
ranchman discovered a big mountain
lion sneaking along toward some tim
Der and underbrush which was about
600 yards away. The meeting was a
surprise to both the ranchman and the
lion, and for a moment they stood
looking at each other.
Then the mountain lion, firing of
the mans gaze. gave roar and
started for the timber. This aroused
the ranchman from his temporary
stupor, and he Immediately plunged
his spurs into the tanks of his horse
and started in pursuit. He loosened
the lariat from his saddle as his horse
dashed forward.
1t was an exciting chase. the noun
tain lion getting over the ground at a
surprising rate Of speed. But the
pony Gardner was riding entered fully
into the spirit of the chase and fairly
skinned over the earth.
Just as the lion was about to enter
the timber the ranchman, who, like
all of his fellows, is an expert with
the lariat, made his throw and the
rope settled down over the head of the
big animal. The trained COW pony
stopped with jerk, planted his feet,
and when the rope became taut the
mountain lion was thrown violently off
it's feet, turning a few somersaults in
the air.
For a moment the animal lay still,
with the pony holding the rope braced
against it. But it was only for a
moment. for, gaining its feet with a

An hour before sailing a dashing

with military air, clambered aboard.
Three days later sailors and stokers
