sipating some bad feeling that had
been occasioned by Misrepresentation
of some newspapers growing out of
the last trip of city councilmen a few
years ago. Facetious correspondents
dwelt in their dispatches on the sim
plicity of ways or uncouth conduct of
some residents and this wounded the
pride of some of the older inhabitants.
They regarded some of these articles
as an insult handed out by the city
of Los Angeles.
Mayor Harper and associates ex-
tended the glad hand wherever they
went, met and chatted with all the
people, invited them to Los Angeles
and expressed their kindly feelings
toward the valley residents. They also
corrected many misar prehensions re-
garding, the scheme.
Wherever a stop was made the
autos were rendered to the young wo-
men in the cities for short excursions
and in the hotels informal concerts
and recitations were held.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur Hall, who own
the Big Pine hotel at Big Pine and
the Valley house at Bishop, were gra-
cious hosts. Mrs. Hall is a bride of
four weeks. She was formerly Miss
Bertha Peterson, a belle of Salt Lake
and Ogden. Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Hayward, the latter formerly Miss Lii

of month. assisted the mayors party
in receiving. Other young women Of
Big Pine who assisted in the festivi-
ties were Misses Gladys and Birdie
Reed, formerly of Los Angeles, and
Misses Rogna and Mae Smith, Elvina
McMurry, Hazel Carrick and Beatrice
Marin. Miss Helen Halverson, a
young woman from Wisconsin, also
assisted.
At Bishop a concert was given at
the hotel in which the participants
were Mrs. Thomas Chegwidden and
Misses Mae Bevins, Mary Barlow,
Dorrance Leidy and Messrs. A. e.
Gregory an. James NJ. Fellows.
At Independence the visitors were
treated to concert by Mrs Fred
Eaton. All of the Angelenos attended
that function. Refreshments were
served. A small reception was also
arranged by Misses Edna M. Willis,
Rougny and C. L. Gleason, the latter
formerly of Los Angeles.
At Wells camp Mr.. and Mrs. w. H.
Wells, Miss Eva Wells, Will Wells
and Fred Brooks arranged drive for
the guests.

not such a difficult one, although it
was of great magnitude.
The club then adopted resolutions in
troduced by Meyer Lissner as follows:
Resolved, BY the City club of Los
Angeles, that the bringing of the
waters of the Owens river to Los An
geles is vital to the continued growth
and welfare of the ciey;
THAT Los Angeles is most fortunate
in having men in charge of this i'm
portant undertaking whose integrity,
ability and civic loyalty are beyond
question;
THAT this club deprecates and con-
demns any and all opposition or him
drance to the comprehensive plan pro-
mulgated by the city's engineers; and
THAT, whereas, it is of the utmost
Importance that the bond election,
soon to be held, be carried by an over
whelming vote, to that end the City
club of Los Angeles pledges the sup
port and best efforts of all it's MEM

CITY CLUB ENDORSES
BONDS AFTER HEARING
MULHOLLAND TALK

Water Superintendent William Null
hollands terse thirty-minute address
before the City club yesterday after
noon on the Owens river aqueduct
project resulted in a vote of indorse-
ment being rendered the bond issue.
Most of the 100 members of the noon
lunch civic organization were on hand
at the Hollenbeck cafe to hear the re-
marks which are so opportune now.
In business-like fashion the chief en-
gineer of the aqueduct explained the
principal features of the gigantic
scheme.
Some years ago Mr. Mulholland
served notice on Los Angeles that it
must cast around for a supplemental
water supply-that the coastal plane
would soon be lowered If an augmented
supply from elsewhere was not OBJ
tained.
He admitted that at that time he
didn't know what source to seek, but
began to investigate.
Former Mayor Fred Eaton called his
attention to the great resources of the
Owens valley, in which he had become
interested when city engineer.
For three years the government had
taken gaugings in the valley and these
were the only reliable water flow fig
ures available then. The city at once
commenced taking measurements OF
the flow and kept 1t up for two years.
1t appears that measurements had for
years been taken on the west side of
the mountain range. however, and 1t
developed also that the flow on each
side OF the divide rarely changed.
Thus. judging the flow OF the Owens
river for seventeen years back from
the flow Of the Sierras on the west, and
the five years of known measurements
on the east or Owens side, II was de-
termined that a dependable flow ex-
listed suitable for Los Angeles needs.
The next step was to learn the quail
ity of tho water. Government, city
and state took samples from time to
time. while persons opposed to the
aqueduct idea also took samples for
analysis. These showed that the Owens
water was far purer than that now
served to Los Angeles.
Finally Engineer Mulholland told OF
the surveys and estimates IN which As
sistant Lippincott and the three ex-
pert engineers agreed In all main par
ticuiars. He showed that the feat was

On this anniversary Sunday there
will be about three hundred children
in the chorus. They will carry the
flags of Russia, Japan, Spain and other
countries, and when the national airs
are sung each group will salute the
flag of their own race.
But there Is - calue that will be
given with more enthusiasm than the
one to the stars and stripes, and no
hymn sung with greater volume than
my Country, IT'S of "hee."
The Russian Chorus
The Russian Molakanes will form a
large number of the chorus, but they
will not be asked to salute the flag of
the czar of all the Russias, for they
would refuse to do so. Their peculiar
religious views lead them to see a
symbolism in the salute cs signifying
the forming Of the sign oF the cross. So.
as nonconformists to the Greek church
and no longer subjects Of Gar Nicho-

show no loyalty to the Russian flag.

SENATOR FLINT
TALKS OF CANAL
SAYS DIRT WILL FLY IN A
SHORT TIME
No More Money Forthcoming for San
Pedro Harbor Until Grip Of
Private Corporations
Is Released

United States Senator Frank p. Flint,
junior representative from California
in the national upper house, returned
from Washington yesterday afternoon
after an absence from home of more
than five months. In addition to at
tending the last session of congress
while he was gone, Senator Flint also
went on an expedition to the Panama
canal site and to the West Indies to
investigate conditions existing there.
while but little excavating has been
done on the canal" said Senator Flint
yesterday, at can b9 expected that
the dirt will begin to fly in short
time. A great deal of delay has been
occasioned because of the locks, but
once the matter has been Strengthened
out the work will proceed with dis
patch. 1 should say that the canal will
be completed in seven or eight years at
the most.
Conditions in the West Indies, which
I visited last month, are more flourish
ing than most persons imagine. Porto
Rico, under the protection of the United
States, is rapidly becoming the most
important place in the whole Caribbean,
and the other centers which do not en-
joy the same advantages are becoming
jealous of her prosperity"
No More Harhor Money
According to Senator Flint it is
highly improbable that an additional
appropriation will be granted in order
to complete the proposed work on San
Pedro's inner harbor
'The government does not approve of
the private interests which control the
situation there" said the senator, land
until the prevailing official impression
that the inner harbor is tied up by cor
porations is removed there will be no
requests for funds granted. Money for
the purpose might have been obtained
at the last session but for the prevail
ing opinion that corporations and not
the public in general will reap the
benefit"
Senator Flint also stated that he has
asked Secretary Taft to look into the
conditions existing at San Pedro and
see If there is not some way in which
the harbor could be fortified. The find
ings of the inquiry will be reported at
the next session of congress, and ac-
cording to Mr. Flint the local seaport
will in few years be as we'll fortified
as any place on the coast.

At meeting of the directors Of the

largest stockholders said, however, that
the construction of the road would be
delayed until a reduction in the cost of
material and labor had been made.
