REWISToN STREET IMPROVE.
MENTS.

Matters are pressing IN Lewiston
street improvements. Paving has been
an urgent issue for some time but
paving must wait other and necessary
improvements. such as the laying Of
sewers and the enlargement of the
water mains. Logically now the sew
er question is the first to be dispatched
and this awaits a court decision which
will determine the validity of the war
rants drawn to meet the payment for
the work. This matter is before the
court in a friendly suit but neverthe-
less the cloud delays the active i'm?
provement which was under way when
the issue was raised. The delay in it
self is important but when consid-
cred in connection with other pressing
improvements it is more than that.
Paving is needed and the people are
a unit in pushing this Improvement,
but they are harrassed by the fact that
not only the sewer but the improve
ment of the water system must pre-
cede the pavement of the streets.
Pavement is a permanent thing and
sewers and water mains should be adj
equate for the growth of years before
pavements are laid. All of these mat
tiers have crowded upon the city in
heap, mainly because of the fact that
the municipality Is springing at once
from the smaller city to the metropol-
ftan class and in consequence of this
rapid growth is having to meet all
its responsibilities In a mass. But
these matters will adjust themselves in
time, the delays are unavoidable but
the sentiment of public improvement
In this line is almost unanimous and
the difficulties in the way will be met
and overcome.

GREAT GATHERING OF EDUcA
TORS.


A convention of more than passing
interest and importane is that of the
Inland Empire Teachers association,
which will hold its ninth annual ses-
sion at Lewiston April 8. 4. and 5. The
executive committee, consisting of r.
N. Wright of the Lewiston public
schools, President James A, MacLean
of the Idaho State University at Mos
cow, and Principal Harry M. Shafer
of the State Normal school at Cheney,
Washington. is plapning to make this
one Of the best meetings ever held by
the association.
1t covers such a wide field geo
graphically, embracing all the Inland
Empire, that the opportunities afford
ed and the wealth of educational tai
ent available make it peculiarly repre-
sentative and broadening. Among
those who have indicated q purpose
to attend are the four state superin-
tendents of Washington Idaho, Mon
tana and Oregon: the heads of all
the state universities and other coll
leges and the principals of all the
normal schools of the northwest, the
leading city and county superintend-
ents, as well as many of the mem
bers of the faculties of northwestern
educational institutions.
The spirit that brings the educa-
tors of the Inland Empire together in
these great conventions is admirable.
The purpose is still further to improve
and develop the splendin educational
facilities of this region. A large part
Of the excellence of our common
schools and institutions of higher
learning is attributable to these con-
ventions in the past, and there is no
doubt that the coming convention at
Lewiston will in turn exert a beneficial
influence all over the northwest
Spokesman Review.

UNIVERSITY Quotations.

A youth in our university has been

in Oxford university. In a fair con-
test with his fellow students he won
she place.
That seems to US exactly right. 1t
seems to us the only legitimate way
for boys to claim the right of a uni
versity education. We believe the
university should be free as the COM
mon schools; that its expenses should
be paid by the state, but we would re-
strict the number to enjoy its advan-
~es to those who made such a show
ing in the public school as to merit
the place.

THE MAN WITH THE WHISTLE.

THE MAN WITH THE WHISTLE.
You hear it in the morning
When the stars are still in sight,
You hear 1t often through the day,
And sometimes late at night,
Its cadence through the atmosphere
In bubbles seems to ooze,
1t gives the world a healthy tinge,
And drives away the blues.
No matter IL the day be bright
Or murky clouds prevail
He pipes away with all his might,
His spirits never fail
And should he chance to pound his
thumb
You'll seldom hear his "cuss,"
The quicker in his lips delays
The swearing impetus.
The man who ownes the whistle
Is not blest with worldly wealth,
Yet every ripple tells at tale
OF rudy, robust health, AT
And better We, a spirit that
Misfortune cannot down.
I'd rather own that whistle
Than a house and lot in town.
There are men in every station go
Whom the world delights to know;
There's the man that runs the nation
And the man that yields the hoe,
There's the man before the footlights,
And the man behind the gun.
But the man behind the whistle
Holds a mortgage on the sun.

REV. A. M. IIENck SAYS
GOD WILL HONOR CITYS
EFFORTS TO GET WATER

Rev. A. M. Henck, pastor of the
Bethel Baptist church, in the course
of his sermon yesterday morning said:
Regarding the $23,0O0,000 bond issue
for the purpose of supplying the city
of Los Angeles with a sufficiency of
water from the Owens river let me
urge every voter in this church to go
to the polls next Wednesday and cast
an affirmative vote.
"Give us water a-plenty and you
will perpetuate our health and wealth
and happiness.
IF you vote against the project you
will try to drive the promoters of our
prosperity to their wits end to find
water for us elsewhere, and you will
always be held in contempt by your
fellow citizens as a knocker against
the best interests of the community.
Remember this: Los Angeles is
bound to have an abundance of water
and the Almighty will honor our de-
termination. If this cannot be ac-
complished by a unanimous vote it
certainly ought to be in spite of the
opposition now apparent. Let the men
of intelligence therefore all swing into
! line and we will receive our share of

Thanksgiving from benefciaries who

Christ water of life for the soul. To
make that water available man must
do his part. To develop and conduct
owens river to the city will cost this
vast sum of money, but If the project
succeeds it will assure the city that
which is absolutely essential to life
and growth. The religious problem
which concerns us is the making of
the water of life available for every
one. The work of building and main
tanning the aqueduct system for the
worlds spiritual need has been laid
upon the church.
1.-The 200 and more miles of concrete
work will have it's flaws, its cracks
and leaks. The critical eye can find
many a weak section of the great line.
The steel siphons will develop weak
points where the high pressure will
burst the steel or strain the joints, the
tunnels will be hard to drive and we
can find fault, but the aqueduct will,
if completed bring water into the city.
With the great conduit which Christ
built for the spiritual refreshment of
the weary, tempted soul, there is no
experiment; it's faults have been dis
covered, the breaks repaired. There
are wastes, there are leaks where one
section joins with its neighbor Sec
ton, but it brings water. Many people
are so busy complaining about the
flaws that they utterly fail to share
in it's work. In your own life Christ
calls you to the work of transporting
the water of life to the perishing.
"A lealky, rusty line of old sheetiron
pipe will do the world more good when
connected up with the great system
than isolated independent sections of
cement structure which are only USE
full for show purposes, for they have no
part in the great project of pools and
conduits by which alone ample water
is being brought into the city.
''And he that heareth let him say,
come; and he that is athirst, let him
come; and whosoever will, let him take
the water of life freely"

Final Meeting Tonight

Mayor Harper, Engineers Mulholland
and Lippincott and Chairman Weidner
and Secretary Lissner have talked on a
score of platforms during the campaign
now closing.
In the big Simpson auditorium tonight
the final meeting will be held with a
great array of prominent citizens upon
the platform. Moving pictures will be
shown and other phases of the Owens
river project discussed. Any and all
questions of the voters will be an
swered, and any voters uncertain re-
garding any phase of the bond issue are
cordially invited by the campaign COM
mittee to appear and PROFOUND their
inquiries
The speakers list includes Rev. Baker
p. Lee, pastor of Christ church, who
will preside; Mayor A. c. Harper, Lee
c. Gates, Engineers William Mulholland
and ]. B. Lippincott and probably Stan
ley Wilson, former Mayor NJ. P. Snyder
and former Mayor owen McAleer. The
doors of Simpson auditorium will be
open at o'clock, and speaking will
begin at o'clock tonight.
The last thing will be the election vote
on Wednesday and the announcement
of the declared will of the people re-
garding the city's water supply.
Engineers Mulholland and Lippincott
will address a special meeting of the
University improvement club tomorrow
(Tuesday) night at o'clock in the Uni
versity of Southern California chapel ut
Thirty-sixth street and Wesley avenue.
President Bovard of the university and
Rev. Ezra Healy, pastor of the Univer-
sity Methodist church, probably will
speak.
Vote May Break Records
Chairman Wiedner and Secretary
Lissner of the campaign committee
have announced their expectation that
the vote on the Owens river bonds next
Wednesday will break all records, in
spite of the fact that previous bond
elections have brought forth but a small
number of voters. The largest vote ever
recorded in the city was of the recent
municipal election, when four popular
tickets brought forth a total vote
slightly less than $4,000.

FINAL RALLY TO
Be HELD. TONIGHT
WATER CAMPAIGN WILL BE
CLOSED
Monster Meeting Expected at Simpson
Auditorium, Where Eloquent
Speakers Will Tell Truth
of Owens River

The final big rally of the owens river
| campaign tonight at Simpson audlto-
rum will be easily the most remarkable
| public gathering the city has ever seem
| Like the campaign itself for the $23,-
100000 water bond issue at the election
next Wednesday this meeting will be
unification of all classes, factions, ana
parties-that make up the citizenship of
Los Angeles in the cause of Owens
river Among the speakers and prom
| inent citizens who will appear on the
| rostrum will be representatives of every
walk and branch of life, all combined
and working shoulder to shoulder for
the success of the aqueduct bond issue
which will give Los Angeles unlimited
water.
No issue submitted to the voters of
Los Angeles in the city's history ever
secured one-tenth of the active indorse-
ment that the Owens river project has
secured. From the big chamber of COM
merce, with it's $500 members, down to
the smallest district improvement So
ciety and precinct political club, the
Owens river project has shown itself to
be so vitality necessary and so good that
it has won quick Endorsement and active
aid.
Election Two Days Off
Now, with the election that is neces-
Sary TO make JnlS great PROJECT a realty
but two days off, the only danger in the
situation appears to be apathy and
over-confidence that may lead to con-
siderable portion of the electorate re-
manning away from the polls.
The work of the joint campaign COM
mittee of the civic organization, headed
by Chairman Perry w. Weidner and
Secretary Meyer Lissner, for the past
two weeks has been centered chiefly
upon the one matter of bringing the
greatest possible number of voters to
the polls. The entire work of the cam
paign has been done by volunteers
without any remuneration other than
the good of the city. Several hundred
volunteer workers with automobiles and
carriages to bring out the voters will
toll all day Wednesday at the. polls
without one cent of pay. These workers
are organized into a unique all-party
political machine that extends into
every one of the 143 precincts of the
city.
The campaign has been one of educa-
tion. First, the purpose was to thor
oughly familiarize the voters with the
issue at stake, and second it was aimed
to bring to the polls the greatest num-
ber possible. The business community
generally will remain closed until 10 a.
m. Wednesday in order to give en-
ployes as we'll as employers the oppor-
tunity to go to the polls. 4

REV. JOHN A. JACKSON
CALLS 1T PLAIN DUTY
TO VOTE FOR BONDS

Rev. John A. Jackson, pastor Of the
Highland Park Methodist Episcopal
church, spoke on the Owens river yes
terday morning, choosing as his SUBJ
ject "A Crisis in Our Civic Life and
Our Plain Duty" He said:
Every man who has the interests of
the city at heart ought to know some
thing of the important Issue now up
for consideration. Its far reaching in
fiuence upon the future progress of
Los Angeles demands the earnest at
tention of every citizen in our growing
city.
"If an adjoining state should, by rea-
son of drought, suffer the loss of life
in men and cattle, would it not be the
duty of every Christian man and
woman, and every citizen, to render
every assistance possible to alleviate
the distress2
But If you could show that state {
method by which such a contingenc!
could be avoided this would be &
greater blessing than to alleviate Its
suffering. On the ground, therefore, ol
eXpediency and possible calamity, I ap.
peal to you to guard the interests of the
city's future. Los Angeles is facing a
serious crisis. The danger can be
avoided If we vote as common sense
dictates.
Water Supply Diminishing
"In looking over the chief engineers
report of the Los Angeles aqueduct I
find sufficient data to make every
thoughtful citizen stop and consider.
Mr.. Mulholland shows most clearly that
our city's water supply is rapidly
reaching the limit of it's resources, and
that very great increase of population
is not necessary to place us in a serious
dilemma.
1.-THE report of the water department
for July, 1904, tells it's own story. In
the ten days between July 20 and July
30 the normal flow of water into the
reservoirs was kept up, but it was
found at the end of the ten days thar
the reservoirs had lost an average of
3,494,0OO gallons per day. showing the
consumption for the ten days to ave-
rage 39,276,000 gallons daily, thus half
emptying the reservoirs.
If our reservoirs receiving this nor
NAL amount of water from all sources
can be made half empty in the space of
ten days by reason of higher tempera.
ture is it not high time for us to
bestir ourselves, and not drift to the
border line of public danger?
Mr.. Mulholland makes a very per
1AAiOLAb NOLiililCliI VII lIll5 6NGIlL WTlGn lle
says: Fortunately at this time the
temperature moderated, and the warn
ing of the department began to have Its
effect to such an extent that the con-
sumption dropped to about SO, ,OOO, ,OOC
gallons daily thus enabling us to iii
the reservoirs again. Suppose the tenn
perature had not moderated, what
then?
Greater Cause for Alarm
IF there was a cause for alarm in
1904 has the influx of 100000 people tc
our fair city made the situation any
less dangerous?
Il appeal to you in the interests OF
the future, in the interests of our great
and growing city, by the prosperity
that waits to lavish upon us untold
treasure, and by the urgent need that
demands immediate action, register
your votes next Wednesday in the in
terest of a water supply that will stand
| second to none of the cities of this con-
tinent for purity, permanency and
| power"
