rhunderstorms on the Water.

ION the water" said a grizzled old
bayman, when you see thunder
storm rising you want to keep an eye
on the lightning. If you see it in the
distance striking down further ana
further to the right from where you
first saw it, or further and further to
the left. why. that indicates that the
storm is working to the right, or to
the left, and it may pass around you.
But if you see it all the time COM
ing down in the same place and all the
time getting brighter and brighter,
why. that indicates that it's coming
straight toward you; and that's the
time, son, when you want to make for
home, or get in your sail and make
everything snug till the storm passes

Fifty Years a Publisher.

Frederick Hess, of San Francisco,
proprietor of the California Demokrat,
has been celebrating his golden jubi-
lee as publisher. In September
1856, being then IS years old, he pur-
chased the paper named and has been
running it ever since. That he still
has great confidence in the future OF
San Francisco is shown by the fact
that although he lost his entire plant
at the time of the fire he Immediately

tract could have its own water supply.
The great area contained In Griffith
park would have to be supplied with
water by the city OF Los Angeles in
any event. for It belongs to the city.
ut is true that It contains 81 large
area Of comparatively worthless land,
but this would not need water, for no
one lives there. 1t would make beau
tfu park for the city II It we're taken
care of properly.
"Of course, when the owens river is
brought to Los Angeles, we want to
be I'm llne for our share " 1t, but until
that time we have all the water that
we can use. We want to pay our share
of the bond issue and to help all we
can, and 1t seems that we can best do
this by becoming part of Los An
geles"
Frank w. Hovey, also member Of
the commission of twenty-one, said:
'The only reason that we have incor-
porated Griffith park In our petition
asking that Colegrove, East Hollywood
and Prospect park be admitted was
that the city officials of Los Angeles
wished us to do so, because they de-
sired to have the whole area embraced
IN the petition admitted to Los An
geles at the same time. This will make
much more regular territory than
would be the case If only the area
which we originally intended to incor-
porate were to be taken into the city.
viii Not Draw on Los Angeles
"The assertion which was made in
one of the papers last evening to the
effect that we would draw upon the
water resources of Los Angeles is alb
solutely false. We have more water
than we need, or than we will need
for twenty yfive years to come.
There is no reason for the publica-
tion of such malicious falsehoods. We
can see that Los Angeles is destined
to be the greatest city on the coast or
In the west, and we want to be a part
of 1t. We can help Los Angeles, and
all we ask in return is to be a part
of it. Los Angeles incurs absolutely
no expense by the acquisition of this
area; in fact, the reverse of that state
ment is true, for we expect to bear
our full share of the Owens river bond
ed indebtedness.
"Our schools will be adequate for
years to come, for we have but recent
ly built six new school houses. 1t is
fact, as stated by the evening paper
referred to, that hired solicitors are
securing signatures to the annexation
petition, but the only reason for that
is that none of the members of the
committee has the requisite time, and
accordingly these men were employed
to gather the Names"

Members of Annexation Committee Deny Contrary
Statements to Share Advantages of
City and Are Willing to Pay for Benefits.
Supervisors Withhold Recognition

$50 far from being drag TO the city
Of Los Angeles" said Seward Cole, a
member of the annexation committee
of the Cahuenga Valley Improvement
association, last night, "the territory
which we want annexed to Los Angeles
and which includes East Hollywood
Colegrove, Prospect Park, and i'm fact
all Of the area north of Wiltshire boule-
ward extending to the city limits of
Hollywood, would be Of great benefit
to Los Angeles.
"The truth Of that statement can
easily be proved. Every acre of the
territory which we want included in the
city limits of Los Angeles has adequate
water supply. There are three water
companies, each of which supplies a.
large territory and which Will be cap
able OF supplying much larger popu-
latlon when that becomes necessary.
"The West Los Angeles Water COM
pany supplies Hollywood and n large
portion of the territory which we want
annexed to Los Angeles. The Holly
wood Water company supplies another
portion of the area. 1t is stated by
officials of that company that they can
supply population of 10000 in addition
to the population to which they are now
serving.
OOuiO I1Sip w ' duiihC
"The Colegrove Water company sup
plies all of Colegrove and 1t also has
more water than it is using. Instead
of this section drawing upon Los An
geles for water in case a water famine
should occur in Los Angeles the terri
tory could do great deal toward sup
plying Los Angeles with water.
1T is impossible that the annexation
of this territory should impose any tax
whatever ON Los Angeles. We have
built six schools within the last two
years and there is no portion Of the
county that is better provided with
educational facilities. 1t is simply a
business proposition with us. We want
improvements that we cannot get now
while we are subject to the board of
supervisors, for in common with many
other sections of the county we seem
to be unable to get any benefit from
the present board.
Under the city government we could
have our streets repaired and lighted.
OF course we would pay for that, but
we would gladly do so. All the land
adjacent to the more thickly populated
portion of the territory has water
easily available and within few feet
of the surface of the ground there is a
never failing supply Of the best water
obtainable.

Clever Youngsters Raise Money fo
Residents of Stricken City.
Original Composition of One
of Company Is Sung

The grown-up actors are not the
only ones who know how to give bene-
fits that are worth while.
The Buisseret sisters and a company
of their clever little friends proved this
yesterday afternoon and evening when
they performed at Elks' hall for the
benefit of the San Francisco sufferers.
There are three of these clever sisters,
Agnes, Rhea and Lottie, and which one
deserves the most credit would be hard
to say. Lottie was the star yesterday,
but her two older sisters who trained
the chorus of pretty girls and managed
the affair were no less clever.
Lottie Buisseret, who is a pupil of j.
Bond Francisco and a talented young
violinist, contributed some delightful
violin selections, sang several pretty
songs and also led the chorus. The
opening number was an overture,
mountain Heights" played by the
three sisters

one of the prettiest features of the
performance was the song MY Cali

posed by Lawrence l.. Stevens and the
music by Agnes Buisseret The song
was sung by II. Calvin Mcpherson, as
sisted by the chorus. The girls were
dressed in gowns of orange and yellow
shading together ana dI a SlBldl lfOH

Another pretty feature was the last
number on the program when seven
little maids in fluffy pink gowns and as
many little men in natty summer suits
sang "How'd You Like to Spoon With
Me?' There were seven swings on the
stage and the diminutive actors and
actresses made use Of them In grace
ful way. The dancing in this number
was especially graceful. Lottie Buis-
seret and j. Calvin Mcpherson led this.

the fifteen States and Territories lying
almost wholly In the great arid region,
exclusive Of California, comprising a
territory Of 1,50S,21O square miles, we
have to note the following statistics /:
The population with this territory num-
bered in 1900, S,771 ,269; the acreage Of
farms was 3003S0,645. OF these farms,
1OO,956,4S7 acres are already improved.
The value Of the farms in 1900 was
$4,000, 1OS.2S2. The value of agricul-
tural products for 1900 was estimated
to be S94T, 907, 1O4. OF the farm lands,
0,566,73S acres are under irrigation. IL
addition to this, the mining products
add $780, 100000 TO the growing wealth
Of the country. But, more marvellous
than all this, is the rapid growth In
railroad extension throughout this ter
ritory. The mileage Of railroads had
already reached in 1900 the enormous
figure of 0,71296 miles. There are not
less than six great transcontinental
lines running through the territory, and
there soon will be several more. Short
lines are extending in every direction
into fertile valleys, and to mines and
cattle ranges, opening up the territory
and furnishing means Of serving in
creasing population
