MANY MILLIONS FOR WATER
California City to Bring It's Supply
a Distance Of 24O Miles
by Gravity.

Los Angeles, Calm an effort to
obtain an unlimited supply of pure wa
ter for all future needs, Los Angeles
is about TO begin work on a system
which from an engineering standpoint
will be of greater magnitude than any
similar work in the world. The only
system which approa ches it is the
Croton water supply, of New York, but
difficulties will be encountered such as
do not exist in New York.
The scheme is to bring mountain wa
ter from Owens lake and river in Inyo
county, across deserts, through noun
tains and across plains, distance of
240 miles, and give Los Angeles a
supply sufficient when the population
reaches the million mark
Engineers have estimated that the
cost of the work will exceed $23, OOO,-
coo. City officials have secured OBJ
tons on Owens lake and part Of the
river draining it. They have made
survey of the line and induced the ma
tiOnal government to abandon the
project of making Owens lake the cen
ter of the national irrigation district.
The survey shows that all water
can be conveyed by gravity. Nearly
80 miles of tunnels will be necessary.

MORRISTOWN'S ELMS DIE.
New Jersey Towns Beautiful Trees
Killed, It Is Thought, by
Leaking Gas.

MOrristown, N. beautiful old elm
trees in many streets in this city are
dying. The attracIiveness OF the town
is being seriously aTected thereby, and
residents in many sections have sent
leaves to foresters and government ex-
perts for analysis as to the probable
cause.
In Elm street, which is one of the
fashionable thoroughfares, several fine
trees are dead. EntOmOlogist Smith,
of the state agricultural station at
New Brunswick, says the trouble may
be due to the severe winter of 1909
and 1904, followed by the intense heat
last July, which has exhausted the
vitality of the trees. But the opinion
has been advanced that a leakage in
the gas mains running through the
streets is responsible. Several years
ago a large number of elm trees on
South street and Ridgedale avenue
died from that cause.

honeymoon he set out alone for the
states to seek fortune in the west.

after he left. Angry letters passed
between them and soon she wrote him

dence should cease. and he consented.
He was in Chicago when her letter
came. but at once left there and trav-
eled farther west. Relenting. the wife
hurried to Chicago, but found no trace
of Hurlbutt.
Some years later she secured a
divorce on the grounds of desertion
and married Rufus Beresford, a mine
owner. He died in New Mexico, leav-
ing several properties in Montana.
The widow came to Helena and rec
ognized her former husband at hotel.
She was stranger to him. She en-
gagged him to examine her properties.

love. After the ceremony she told him
her secret and de declared he was

THE MONEY ORDER HABIT.
Chicago Postmaster Says People Pre-
fer Government Checks to
Bank Drafts.

ChicagO.-ChicagOa have acquired
the post Office morey order habit, ac-
cording to Postmaster Coyne. His re-
cent monthly statement shows re-
markable increase in the money order
business since he took charge of the
Office in 1901.
Thereh as been an increase of nearly
$23, 100000 year in the money order
business. both foreign and domestic,
since 1901, and each month shows new
gains in that branch of the business
The postmaster said he could explain
the growth by the fact that the people
of Chicago were using the post Office
money order system in preference to
the banks.
The people of Chicago are now in a
position to appreciate the large
amount of business which is transact
ed by the Chicago post Office said
MIR. COyne. ''They have acquired the
money order habit and the wonderful
growth in that branch shows it.
Within short time l shall have
compiled statistics showing the in
crease since 1 took my Office in 1901.
Every branch of the post Office bust
ness has gained"
The money order business for last
month was $11 931 .661, which is an in
crease of $2.730,3 1893 or 81 per cent.
over the business July last year. In
1904 there were 550,385 money order
transactions in July, and in 1905 there
were 622, $40, an increase of 72,225, or
Is per cent.

EDITOR, THE News:
Since my last communication
to your highly esteemed paper /
have made a flying trip through
the Territory, a part of Texas,
Kansas and Missouri, and the in

and permanet. What I observed
in those places tallies very much
with the description | had often

description of our trip V ould

In Arkansas cotton is the rul-

little to any other crops. When
cotton is a failure, business is so
governed, and when cotton hits

mess is a great industry in parts
of the State. The Arkansas pine s
known through the country as
making the most beautiful interi-
or finish for houses, and doors
made from this wood finish up
most artistically in their natural
state.
The advantages are many here,
the only disadvantages being the
swampy sections and the wet
seasons, which Egive the whole
