CITY OFFICIALS READY
FOR INVESTIGATING TRIP
TO OWENS RIVER VALLEY

All plans have been made for the de-
parture tonight of the city officials who
will inspect the Owens river aqueduct
route. Last night Superintendent Will
liam Mulholland gave the final orders
for distributing gasoline at the stations
for use of the four automobiles which
will convey the travellers.
The probable makeup of the party
will be Mayor A. C. Harper, City At
torney Leslie r. Hewitt, Henry Dock
weller, a San Francisco engineer; City
Councilmen Dromgold, Yonkin, Clam
pitt, Lyon and Healy, four chauffeurs
and four newspaper men.
Division engineers and superintend-
ents will be picked up on the route and
will act as information bureaus.
The party will travel in light march
ing order, though blankets and boots
will be carried because of the uncertain
accommodations in the valley now. But
little baggage will be permitted, no bot
tied goods, and cameras will be the
heaviest impedimenta.
The party will board the Southern
Pacific train for Mojave Immediately
after seeing "The Undertow' at the Be-
lasco theater as Manager John Black
woods guests. The ride there, 108
miles. will bring the party to the auto
starting point Wednesday morning. The
return here is timed for Sunday night.

Election
Entire Amount Necessary to Bring

eeIes to Be Voted in
Lump Sum

June 70 is the date fixed for the
owens river election.
Unanimously the city council yester-
day passed the ordinance presented by
City Attorney Leslie Hewitt fixing all
the details, which cover fourteen col
umns Of an average newspaper.
All day yesterday Mr.. Hewitt and a
staff of stenographers worked behind
locked doors getting out this measure,
which has been in preparation since
Friday, and the council had to take
a recess till o'clock last night to per-
NIT the finishing touches to be ap-
piled. During the three sessions of the
day Deputy Wilson acted as legal ad-
wiser to the council.
Provisions of Ordinance
The ordinance provides for an cleo
tton to vote on $23,0O0,000 bond issue,
the requirement of land and water
rights for the aqueduct, the levying
of a tax and the districting of the city
into election precincts.
The title was read and in two min
utes the vote had been taken
councilman Lyon was absent from
the room for a minute and did not
vote, but on re-entering shouted an
aye as soon as he heard what had been
done.
Councilman Wallace asked the city
attorney IL another vote could be taken
so as to put Mr.. Lyon on record, as it
was wished to have every step of the
great project taken unanimously. He
was agreeable and another vote was
taken in ringing voices.
On motion Dillon e. Hubbard, the
New York bond experts, were retained
as advisers, so that their certificates
could be given to investors when the
bonds are fioated, these certificates be-
ing legal guarantees on the legal sound
ness of the election and issue.

The city council yesterday created
two new positions in the Owens river

acting favorably on the following report
of the board of public works:

dinance creating the position of super
intendent of bitches and lands in the
Owens river valley and that of me-
chanical constructor.
I'VE desire these two positions to be
created in order that they may be filled

For several years Miss Williamson
had kept boarding house in Los An

ing men, desert followers and the
working class, and she had amassed
very nearly enough to go back to her
home in the highlands when trouble
came upon her. Spencer came to Los

was short of funds and went to board
at Miss Williamson's lodging house.

She was old enough to be his mother,
her little blue eyes snapped from be-

But no matter what the attraction
was, Spencer had not been at her board

to leave and never again set foot there
in.
He went away and she settled down

LONG BEACH, April 15.-Frank
Deffley, young man of this city, mar
rowly escaped drowning this afternoon
when a heavy dory in which he was
rowing in the surf at Anaheim landing
was overturned among the breakers.
An S00-foot fish net weighed down the
boat and caused her to trim badly. The
boat was rolled over and over in the
waves and Deffley stayed beneath 1t
so long that the large crowd of per-
sons gathered on the beach feared he
was lost. Finally, however, he ap-
peared. Then a fierce struggle ensued,
during which he was struck several
times by the boat. His prowess as a
swimmer saved him and he at length
got away from the dory and swan to
shallow water. His father, William
Deffley, and w. e. Craig in the mean
time had started out in a launch to
rescue him.
AS he reached the shore young Def
ley assured his friends that he was all
right but complained because he had

PASADENA, April 15.-The third
highway robbery of the past two days
took place last evening when f. Con-
zales was stuck up and robbed by a
man who is presumed to be the same
one who robbed Conductor Conner and
Public Carriage Driver Syer on Satur-
day afternoon and evening respective
ly. Gonzales was robbed near Oneonta
Park, the highwayman using much the
same stand and deliver methods as
did the man who robbed Conner and
Syer.
The third robbery was committed
without the corporate limits of Pasa-
dena and so the local police are not
working on this case. They are, how
ever, trying hard to find trace of the
man or men who robbed Conner and
Syer, but as yet without success.

ORGANIZED SEARCH
FOR MISSING SON

CHICAGO, Oct 29.-Failing after
two years search to find their lost
son, Harry, in San Francisco, his
supposed destination, Mr.. and Mrs
Louis P. Nonnast, 1174 Deming
place, will begin at once a world wide
campaign to locate the young man
now 81 years old. In every large
city on all continents, advertisements
will be inserted in the newspapers,
seeking information of the wanderer.
The father is a furniture manufac-
turer. He does not intend to spare
money in the search
The opening gun in this campaign
was fired this week when an ad. was
inserted in the principal papers of
the Pacific coast, offering $500 re-
ward for any news of the missing
youth.
None of the ordinary motives that
induce boys to flee from unhappy
homes or the drudgery of toll actu-
ated Harry Nonnast in his fight. His
parents were well to do He had
just graduated from the Lake View
High school, and seemed to have ev-
erything he desired. But his health
was not good and he frequently talk
ed of how he might be benefited by
the western climate.
His father had just about made up
his mind to crafty the boys desire,
when without warning, the boy dis
appeared.
AS California was his supposed des-
tination, the father hurried across the
continent but could get no trace of
him in any of the coast towns. When
the earthquake claimed it's hundreds
of victims. the alarm of the family
was renewed. No Harry Nonnast
was in the list of victims, but the
father made another trip to the coast.
But after his return came the first
scrap of clue. The Winchester no.
tel, at which he had made inquiries,
reported that after more thorough
search, the name of Harry Nonnast
had been found on their register for
one night only just before the earth
quake. At the time he said he was
on his way to a hospital

TO BORDER
ELY C|TYS STREETS
THREE THOUSAND TREES WILL
Biz PLANTED BY EXPERT
ARBOREALIST SOON.

Three thousand Carolina poplars
will soon be set out along the streets
of Ely City by the townsite company.
The growth of these trees is rapid
and their beauty marked. The change
they will work in the appearance of
the city will make it one of the most
attractive to the eye in all the west
and a veritable oasis among copper
districts, as it is now, in fact, in point
of handsome houses. business blocks
and the sweep of the gently sloping,
well drained site which it occupies.
The poplars which are to be put
out have been contracted for and a
landscape gardner connected with the
prominent nursery from which the
purchase was made will arrive with
them probably during next month, in
company with an expert who has had
wide and successful experience in
setting out trees. From information
given him concerning climatic con-
ditions here he has determined that
| the winter season is the best in which
| to put out the trees and the planting
is to be done during that time.
Arrangements have been made to
provide all necessary water for the
trees and for their care in other
ways until they reach maturity.
Their successful growth is practical
ly certain, the soil which they will
enter being susceptible to the abund-
ant production of trees. flowers and
grass with proper care. The planting
will encourage putting out of lawns
and flowers and the next year should
see the city much enhanced in at
tractiveness to the eye.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC LAND
PATENTS TO Be SET ASIDE

As the result of the Investigations
at Carson City last winter instituted
through the complaint of j. Aaron
ingalls,, the department of the inte-
rior made representations to the de-
partment of justice at Washington as
the consequence of which there has
been filed at Carson City in the Unit
ed States district court suit to set
aside the patents issued to the South
ern Pacific company for 900 acres
of land, most of which is situate in
White Horse mining district. Fraud
is charged, as was necessary, of
course, to set aside the patents. But
the case is likely to be fought to a
finish and some of the best prose-
cutOrs in the government employ
have been appointed as special prose-
cutors of the case.

DECLARES
HE Is STILL IN RACE

MIDDLESBORO, Ky, Oct. 2S.-
Before leaving his special train here
today Vice President Fairbanks made
clear his position with reference to
quotations from certain st. Louis and
New York newspapers to the effect
that he was not a candidate, actively
or receptively, for the presidency.
He said that while in st. Louis he
refused positively to discuss politics
and that any statement alleged to
have come from him in reference to
national politics on the presidency
was entirely unfounded.

and costs.
The latest offender Is Mike Pollock,
a foreign laborer, who paid fine of
$50 and costs yesterday.
