the gateway, which is the mouth of the
canyon at the north end of Rose valley
at an elevation of 1850 feet.
The elevation of the maximum feasible
water surface in the Fairmont reservoir
on the south side of Antelope valley is
1896 feet Ia total of 529 feet) and fixes
the elevation of the grade at the south
ern end of the aqueduct for the next
section.
All classes of construction are en-
countered in this section varying between
a cost of $40 foot for the Jawbone
Siphon and IS a foot for canal construc-
tion on the nat deserts.
Manifestly the greater slope should be
put into more expensive sections, thus
reducing their dimensions and conse-
quently their cost.
All feasible tunnel locations from the
Fairmont reservoir through the crest of
the Coast range have been surveyed.
The most economical location is from
this reservoir into what is known as
Bear canyon branch of the San Fran
cisquito canyon, requiring a total length
of e6S6S feet
Pressure for Power Plants
The tunnel is so located that the head
of water in the reservoir will be avail
able for additional pressure on the power
plants situated below.
The construction of the Fairmont res
ervoir will provide no. only a reserve
supply near the southern end of the line
but also a delivery of water to the power
houses varying with the hourly demand
for power by the city. The value of the
two reservoir sites near San Fernando
should be appreciated They will hold
1880 acre feet of water, equivalent to
a flow Of 1920 miners inches for six
months. They are thousand feet in
elevation above the Los Angeles city
hall.
Their province is threefold:
l. They will provide a reserve supply
at the south end of the aqueduct.
g. The power plants may be operated
in the San Francisquito canyon during
the rainy season without wasting the
water.
g. The water required for irrigation
and domestic uses in and around the
city may be delivered through them for
the aqueduct when most needed, or at
the rate of $500 miners inches during
the six summer months and 5000 during
the six winter months.
Desert Operations Expensive
The region between Mojave and Owens
valley is an unoccupied desert without
forage or subsistence supplies. The cost
OF feeding a horse in this region is from
SO to Is cents day. The cost of labor
and the transportation OF labor is also
an important factor.
The provision of ample mechanical
power therefore to excavate the canal
to drive tunnels and to hoist materials
70 the mountain side is of the highest
Importance.
This is being provided for by the con-
etruction of the power plant on Cotton
wood creek near the Owens lake. The
work Is well under way, all the equip
ment has been purchased and it will be
completed as rapidly as possible.

There have been Of late so many
cases of sudden disablement Of the
engineer at the throttle, thereby leav-
ing the train without control, as to
lead to renewed discussion Of the
question Of placing two engineers In
the cab. at least in the more import
ant fast trains, says writer in the
Scientific American. There was q
time. in the days Of smaller locomo-
tives, when the fireman had more
leisure than now for general observa-
tion, both Of the signals and Of CON
ditions in the cab. He was in closer
touch with the engineer. Today, how
ever, the locomotives have increased
to such large dimensions that the
attention and energy Of the fireman
are fully occupied in keeping the huge
furnaces fully supplied with fuel and
the boiler with water. Not so very
many years ago 1000 square feet Of
heating surface was the maximum to
be found on most Of even the largest
engines, but today the standard ex-
press passenger engine will have from
$500 to $500 square feet of surface.
and the most powerful freight loco
motives from 4,50O to $500 square
feet. From personal experience when
riding in the cab Of fast and heavy
passenger trains. We know that what
time the fireman is not shoyeling coal
he is attending to his injector or peer
ing ahead for the first glimpse of the
signals Il is our conviction that
locomotives have grown to such size
that the railroad management should
give careful consideration to the ques-
tion of placing a third person in the
cab of the largest engines for pur.
poses Of observation, and this is par
ticularly necessary on those locomo
tives in which the engineers cab is
separate from that Of the fireman.
