By the construction of some COM
paratively inexpensive dams, with
which power can be accumulated Sun
days, nights and during hours Of the
day when electricity is not in full use
1t Will be possible to increase the gem
GRAFTON of electric current at the hours
when 1t is most needed, until a total
of $4,000 horse power is reached. And
all this without any waste of water
or interruption of the uniform flow to
Los Angeles. The current can be used
for lighting streets. parks and public
buildings; for operating electric rail-
ways, and running factories. 1t Is
conservatively estimated that after de-
Quoting current lost and used for pub
lie purposes there should be at least
$4,000 horse power which can be sold
to private users at SIS per horse power
per year. This would go far toward
the payment of the interest and leave
the revenues from irrigation and water
rates for the eXtinguishment of the
debt. Some engineers estimate that
10000 horse power can be available for
commercial purposes. The revenue
from that amount would more than
pay the interest on the debt.
Social and Economic Possibilities
The power possibilities are most at
tractive to an engineer, but it is when
one begins to think out the social
changes to occur under the proposed
irrigation that he feels a self-restraint
induced by fear that he may seem
visionary. The soil of Southern Cali
fornia is rich beyond comparison If
only 1t can get water. Within a radius
of thirty miles of the city there are
great areas which would be subdivided
into one, five and ten acre farms and
be cultivated intensively, forming a
very Garden of Eden. Oranges, lemons
walnuts, berries and vegetables would
be produced for distant as well as for
local markets. In Southern California
strawberry shortcake in midwinter is
an almost daily article of diet. There
is man in Pasadena who has made
$1,000 in year from one acre of straw
berries sold in the home market. The
cultivators of these small farms would
make good living without severe toll.
Large farms would be impossible, as
the land would be too valuable. Cul-
tivators would touch elbows. The aw-
full isolation of farm life in many
parts of the east would be unknown.
Electric roads would penetrate the
region in every direction-as, in fact
they are doing now. Farmers would
be close to schools, markets, clubs and
amusements 1t would be a nightly
occurrence for a man and his wife to
attend the theater or opera in Los
Angeles and go thirty miles to their
home after the performance. Nowhere
else on earth would such a green para
disc be visible as would be from the
heights OF Los Angeles. 1t is there

Owens River Treated
in Magazine
Los Angeles Man Publishes an Article
on the Great Aqueduet Project
from the Standpoint OF
Finances

Bronson c. Keeler, 737 Stewart street,
has a well-written article in the cur
rent issue of Moody's Magazine on the
Owens river water supply and it's effect
on Los Angeles. Mr.. Bronson has
written his story from the standpoint
of the bond Issue and the fact that
Moody's Magazine. one of the foremost
eastern financial publications, has acr
cepted and published 1t exactly as it
was written in convincing proof that
the project Is well considered by east
ern financiers where the bonds find
their ultimate destination.
@Mr. Moody thought the article rather
Mandatory of Los Angeles and advertised
the city little too much. but he printed
every word of exactly as l wrote it,
said Mr.. Keeler And that 1t is not too
optimistic of Los Angeles future every
one knows who lives in this section or
is at all familiar with Southern cali
fornia. / wrote the article chiefly from
the standpoint of the bond question.
The story from Moody's Magazine

AS the watershed of the Owens river
valley is inaccessible and as the city
will control the valley the water will
always be unpolluted and Los Angees
will have as pure mountain water as
is possible to obtain.
Although on it's way from owens
river to Los Angeles the water must
penetrate a great mountain range it
could be carried down by gravity alone
without pumping or tunneling. But
the route would be circuitous and
more eXpensive; and it is thought bet
ter to construct twenty-eight miles of
tunnels. Five miles of this work will
be through solid rock, under the noun
tains, fourteen feet wide and eleven
feet high, and will require five years
for completion. 1t is this that deter
mines the time of the entire plant, as
the other work can be carried on stimuli
taneously.
Engineering Features
The aqueduct proper will be of mon
olithic concrete construction, reinforced
with steel, sunken in a plain ditch,
averaging 14.7 feet wide and 10 feet
high, with a concrete cover, and will
have capacity to carry OOOO,O 900 gall
Ions a day, as stated elsewhere. In
verted steel siphons will be used at a
few places to provide against danger
from cloudbursts. The minimum
thickness of the aqueduct walls will
be 61a inches. More than 100000 tons
of cement will be used; and 5000 men
will be employed. The city will erect
a cement mill and make it's own
cement at an estimated cost of 81 a
barrel. A railroad will be constructed
parallel with the proposed line of the
conduit, together with a telegraph and
a telephOne line. and over the road
men and materials will be carried to
the points desired. The road will be
about 100 miles long and win connect
at each end with the Southern Pa
cihc. 1t is not impossible that, after
completing the aqueduct, the city will
continue to operate the road as a COM
mercial enterprise to transport passen-
gers and freight to settlements along
the line.
OF the 226 miles of conduit % miles
will be an open unlined ditch through
clay, mainly in the owens river val
ley; 20 miles will be covered ditch,
lined with cement or rubble 1879 miles
will be a covered conduit of cement;
Is miles will be tunnel through rock;
10 miles tunnel through earth; miles
of steel siphons crossing canyons and
2 miles of steel fumes crossing de-
pressions. Eventually the conduit will
be covered throughout its entire length
but at first that is not necessary or
desirable.
That part of the water needed for
immediate use in the city win be sent
directly to the intake for Los Angeles;
that not needed for immediate use will
be sold for irrigation, or diverted into
the gravel beds Of the San Fernando
valley. be held there in Suspension and
be drawn from the Los Angeles river,

OF Interest 10 People Of this Community

There are perhaps more people today
suffering from heart burn, sou stomach,
bad breath, nausea. belching, and other
irregularities arising from indigestion,
than from auy other ailment.
In this regard the Elk Drug Store takes
pleasure in recommending to our readers
the we'll known remedy, Kodol, for dys-
pepsia and indigestion. Kodol is a scien-
ti6c preparation. 1t is a combination of
vegetable acids with natural digestants
and it contains the same juices found in
the stomach of a healthy person. 1t is
undoubtedly the most effectixe, prompt
and satisfactory remedy we know of for
stomach disorders.
Mr.. Shelton, our popular druggist, has
sent us a letter from a prominent resident
of the state of Georgia. who tells his ex-
psrirnce with Kodol. We gladly repro
duce this letter.

Mobile, Dec. 2.--tSpecial.)--A man with . brand new scheme for swindling hit Mobile Saturday. His was an orig inal 1roposition and worked, though the amount obtained by him is said to have been small. two checks being cashed by prominent merchants Tor suns less than $50.
 During Saturday afternoon massage was received by the Bienville Hotel asking that reservation be made for ogden Armour. the millionaire packer of Chicago, who was scheduled to ar rive in Mobile Saturday night. About o'clock Saturday afternoon we'll dressed young man entered the ofdce of the hotel and introduced himself as F. E. Hoffman, private secretary to Mir. Armour. He asked the Jerk if the reservation for Mir. Armour could not be changed to the Cawthon Hotel. The young man secured some plank checks from the clerk and went ts the Cawthon. where he said he was .he man who wanted to make the reserva- tion. He said Mfr. Armour woul7 ar- rive on a special train at II p. m. He then left the hotel and did not again appear.
