a Ogden, July 15.-Since the meeting OF
tbo CITY council Monday night when a
star chamber session of more than an
hour was held and during which time
dt was learned the proposition of buying
Mic ogden water works system was dis
2cussed, great deal of interest has been
smanfested In the proposed deal by the
6citizens in general.
While nothing definite has been an
ncunced il is very likely that the ques-
ton of making the purchase viii be
considered at the session of the council
next Monday night. II has been given
out by members of the water WORKS
company that the system has been of
tered to the city but at what price could
not be learned.
The present city administration is
'strongly in favor of purchasing the sys-
tenn The mayor and members of the
council are in favor of II. Municipal
ownership has been found so success
full in other cities. in governing pubic
utilities that there now remains no
doubt but what II Will be tried In Og-
den.
For several years the city has agitat-
ed the question of buying the system or
building a like one, but nothing was
ever done on the matter until recently
when the preliminary steps were tax
en- by the city by looking to the con-
struction of its own light and water
systems The work has progressed so
far as to the sending to the South
Fork canyon surveying party to To-
cate site for reservoir and power
house. 1t was subsequently learned
that the waterworks company was will
ing to sell the system to the city at a
reasonable figure and then preliminary

RESCUED FROM DEATH
BY HEROIC STRANGER
LOS ANGELES GIRL BARELY
ESCAPES DROWNING
Sinks from cramp While Swimming
OFF Playa del Rey and Terrific
Struggle with Waves
Ensues

Miss Georgia Ferris of Los Angeles
narrowly escaped death in the surf be-
low Del Rey yesterday, and had it not
been for the prompt assistance Of B.
Folsom, another drowning would have
been chalked up to the treacherous en-
brace of the Pacific.
After swimming several hours Miss
Ferris started to return to shore, but
was taken with a cramp and went
down, crying for help.
Folsom, who was walking up the
beach, jumped in and swan to the spot
where the girl went down, and as she
arose to the top for the last time he
caught her. Then followed a life and
death struggle between man and sea.
For half an hour Folsom battled with
the surf unassisted, most Of the time
nothing being visible but the girls
head. When he finally reached shore
he fell fainting, with the blood rushing
from his nose and mouth.
Miss Ferris was able to reach her
home and sent assistance to her
rescuer, who was removed to the Ferris
home and a doctor called. Folsom was
resting easy at o'clock yesterday, but
what is bothering Mr.. Ferris is where
does Folsom live? He was conscious
only long enough to say Send for

MINERS WIFE is COMING
TO NURSE. HER HUSBAND
Alleged Monte crlsto Is Still in County
Hospital as Result of Celebrating
His Recent Honeymoon by
Protracted Spree

Chief Kern yesterday received a tele-
gram from Mrs. N. D. Swartout of
Bowie, Ariz.. whose husband was taken
to the receiving hospital several days
ago suffered from an overindulgence
of alcoholic drinks, stating that she will
arrive in Los Angeles today to nurse
her husband, who is patient at the
county hospital, where he has been for
the last few days.
When first taken to the receiving hos
pital Swartout told the surgeons and
attendants that he was a modern Monte
Cristo, that he owned gild mines, cop
per mines and stocks and bonds, and
that his income was so great that he
was ignorant of its exact amount. His
descriptions of his property were so
infinitely related that his story carried
the weight of conviction. Later when
the patient had somewhat recovered, he
amended his former story and declared
that his fortune was a modest one of
$165, 900 in a local bank. Then, after he
had fully recovered from his attack,
he left the receiving hospital and was
several days later picked up on the
street in a similar condition. He was
taken to the receiving hospital and
treated, and he then admitted that his
vast wealth existed only in his i'm
agination. Swartout was removed to
the county hospital, and his wife, to
whom he was married scarcely three
weeks ago, was notified.
Swartout told the hospital attend
ants that he had been married but two
days when he decided to come to Los
Angeles and celebrate his honeymoon
all by himself.

EAKS URGENTLY SEEKING
HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS
Numerous Applications Already Re-
celved by All Leading Establish
ments, Although Convention Is
Eleven Months Away

Although the big Elks' convention is
eleven months away every hotel in the
city has been showed under with re-
quests for reservations. Most of the
reservations for headquarters have
been turned over to Motley H. Flint,
chairman of the executive COMMITTEES.
II expect fully $4,000 people," said
John S. Mitchell of the Hollenbeck yes
terday. 1.-The Utah, Nevada and Ari-
iona delegations wanted to lease the
entire hotel for the week, but L could
not turn away my regular guests fol
them. 1 will give the Elks all the
space can"
C. c. Loomis of the Angelus said he
had $50 requests for reservations up tC
date, while r. H. Potter of the Van
Mugs said he had one delegation which
in itself was sufficient to fill the hotel.
Several hundred requests have been
received by Manager Whitmore of the
Alexandria, and a like number at the
Lankershim, while the Hayward will
be. taxed to it's fullest capacity. The
overflow from the hotels probably will
be more than enough to fill all the
apartment houses in the city.

POSTAL RATES TO ENGLAND
STILL REMAIN UNALTERED

It has been observed that a large
number of patrons of the Los Angeles
postoffice are under the impression that
the postage rates to England have been
reduced to cents an ounce or fraction
thereof. This is an error The post
master general has concluded arrange
ments with the British postal service
whereby these rates will be reduced,
and probably the new arrangements
will become effective October 1, 1908.
The public must understand that q
letter addressed to England with 2
cents postage thereon, if weighing one
ounce or less, is deficient 3 cents in
postage, and double the deficiency, or
6 cents, is collected from the -addressee
in England on delivery. When the new
postai rates to England are in effect
the public will be promptly advised.
BY order of the postmaster general,
on and after August l. 1908, parcels
post packages for and from Germany
may weigh not to exceed five Kilograms
or eleven pounds, without regard to the
value of the contents. This is modi-
fication of former orders under which
the weight was two kilograms and the
value not to exceed $50.

MAY CALL
REV. FRANK TALMAGE
Former Pastor Of First Presbyterian
Church in Los Angeles May
Go to an Eastern
Congregation

A telegram has been received in Los
Angeles stating that DR.. Frank De
Witt Talmage, former pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Los An
geles, had been called to the pastorate
of the largest Presbyterian church in
Pittsburg, Pa.
While nothing definite is known in
Los Angeles regarding this call, many
of the friends of the family think it
quite probable that he might be called
to Pittsburg, as he formerly held a
successful pastorate in that city be-
fore going to Chicago, from which city
he came to Los Angeles.
Dr. and Mrs. Talmage are now In
England, having toured the continent.
DR.. Jarvis Barlow, a brother of Mrs.
Talmage, stated last night that he did
not know anything about the Pitts
burg call and that he could neither
affirm nor deny 1t. There has been no
definite date set for the return of DR..
and Mrs. Talmage, as they intended
to make a pleasure tour.
DR.. Talmage is one of the prominent
ministers of the Presbyterian church,
both for his own oratorical powers as
we'll as for the fame of his father. He
left Los Angeles early in March, after
having brought the First church of
this city to a successful footing.
Three of the Talmage children were
left at the family home on South Flow
er street in care of trained nurse and
under the supervision of DR.. Barlow.
The Oldest daughter, however, was
taken with the parents.
Los Angeles they did not know wheth-
err they would return here or have the
children sent to the city in which they
might decide to locate.
