Middle of Section Five

COYOTE HOLES, Mouth of Walkers s
pass, Cal, Wednesday, April II, 6
p. m.-Tonight the Los Angeles city
officials, after a 46 mile auto run from
MojaVe, reached their first camping
place. With a fringe of lofty lava
topped mountains on one side and q
moraine of glacial days on the other,
the members distributed themselves
through the camp after a hearty sup
per.
This camp is in the middle of sec
tton of the aqueduct, No. 1 being at
the intake at the upper end and No
8 section at the Los Angeles end. Free
man Raymond, who came here 30 years
ago and raised a family here, keeps
the hotel. Back OF 1t is a corral built
of boulders picked up out of the
moraine, Just beyond is the aqueduct
camp, where Principal Assistant En-
gineer j, b. Lippincott does much Of
his work, From this point engineers
and surveyors go out daily in all di-
rections, Mrs. Lippincott is with her
husband on this trip.
Before the visitors had fairly es-
tablished themselves Mayor Harper
and Engineer Dockweiler repaired to
division headquarters, and, with En-
gineers Mulholland and Lippincott,
looked over maps, prohles and esti-
mates. They agreed. as did the Visi-
tors, that the progress made on the
project was remarkable.

ASSESSMENT WILL SHOW
THIRTY MILLIONS INCREASE

1t is believed this years city assess
ment will reach more than $SO,OOO,OOO
above last year, according TO calcula-
tions made by City Assessor Walter
Mallard.
He said yesterday that these figures
ought to approximate the sum repre-
senting the increase. This would mean
an increase of 400 per cent over 1900
when the total was about S65, ,500O00

A dozen or more women in the court
room took the stand in Mrs. Brada's
behalf and told how she had always
been true to her husband and was not
seen even to bow to man unless she
was accompanied by he- husband at
the time.
When the evidence had been COM

the decree, ruling that no woman was

CAR IS DERA|LED;
FOUR INJURED
CobbIestone on Track Causes Serious
Accident to Maple Avenue Elec-
tric-Car and Wagon Are
Badly Damaged

Four persons were seriously and
several slightly injured in an accident
at North Main and Bruno streets yes
terday morning, when a north bound
Maple avenue car struck heavy cob
blestone and flew from the rails,
of the Pioneer Truck company.
The injured are:
Mrs. ]. B. Finley, 2SO6 Darwin ave-
nue., several ribs broken and internal
injuries.
Mrs. B. o. Winem, 2S1O Darwin ave-
nue., cut by flying glass and severely
bruised.
]. f. Fraser, driver of the truck,
bruised by being knocked to pavement
by collision.
H. d. Kennedy, motorman, bruised
by jumping from car.
The front of the street car was de-
molished and the wagon was badly
wrecked. Had the car not collided
with the wagon it would have turned
turtle and all the passengers suffered
injuries.
The stone which caused the coll
lision was between the rails and near
the one farthest east. 1t could be
plainly seen, but the car was going so
fast it was impossible for the motor
man to stop.
The injured persons were at once
taken to their homes.
Thrown from ,ugey
Mrs. Theodore Lindburg, Inglewood,
was seriously injured by being thrown
from buggy by a collision with In
terurban car No. $50 on Hill street, be-
tween Third and Fourth, late yester-
day morning. Mr.. Lindburg who was
in the buggy, was not injured. His
wife was taken to her home, where
she was given medical attention.

aqueduct excavation is apparently
merely question of horses and
graders. With the hills to penetrate
or circumvent the problem becomes
more costly.
In the Canyons
Most picturesque of all the scenery
so far was that after passing Jawbone
canyon. On one side is lake or sink
which rises up in summer, but which
at this time looks like mirage, 1t ap-
pears so unexpectedly.
Approaching Red Rock canyon the
view was inspiring. It's grandeur
forced the party to stop and dismount.
A sandy stretch here stalled one auto
the rented one-and its occupants had
to dismount and push. Every camera
in the party was put into action.
Councilman Lyon climbed cliff just
to be doing something.
In varied colors, subdued and loud,
nature had painted the mountain sides.
Heavy rains and wind storms and the
erosions of time had worked wonders.
House, castle, turret, dome and church
could all be traced with slight aid of
the imagination. One saw in miniature
the canyons of tho Colorado, the cliff
dwellings of the Pueblos, the Palli-
sades of the Hudson. In place of a
river raging at the foot of the cliffs
sandy waste tortured the eye and
defied mans conquest. Last winter
rains had been heavy in the Mojave
desert, but their effects soon wear
off. The roads were washed out, and
new ones had to be made by the trek
king parties that traversed the line of
travel. In some places four and five
tried and abandoned roads could be
traced side by side.

Ties from, Janan.

The Southern Pacific has imported
i.'"o'ooo oak ties from Japan to be
used mainly on the California lines,
According to the statement of a local
official of the Sunset Lines" there
are several reasons why this system
goes to the Orient for ties. The oak
OF Japan Is equal to the best white
oak OF this country In durability. and
the supply here Is so limited that it Ia
impossible for the railroads to get
enough for their needs at any price
Further than that. stated the Off.

that the road could not use anv Of

ed with traffic, and they can bring an
enormous number of ties from japan
to San Francisco at very little ex.
pense.
The oak ties brought so far have
cost the Southern Pacific, including
the duty, less than it has been paying
for soft redwood ties of similar III
mensions. The electric lines in Cali
fornia have purchased $4,000 oak ties
from Japan, and expect to get many
more.
