With the power of Chelan Falls, 1t
is proposed to run an.electric railway
from Spokane to Puget Sound and
another from Wenatchee, the famous
fruit country, north to the interna-
tional boundary. Among many other
projects is that of the Big Bend Wa
ter Power company. Sixteen thous-
and horse power will be developed
at one site, but the company has
gained control of the upper falls,
where $1,000 to 10000 horse power
additional can be developed at COM
paratively small outlay. The power
will be used on a line to be built be-
tween Spokane and Wallace, Idaho,
and some of it may be used by the
Oregon Railway & Navigation COM
pany, which is said to be planning
the electrifcation of it's line in Wash
ington and Idaho.
On the west side of the Cascade
mountains the are such falls as the
Snoqualmie, 26S feet in height and
of large volume. Part of this ener-
gy has been appropriated in furnish
ing power to cities on Puget Sound
Cedar River and the NoOkSack, Gka-
gil, SJlIldS udIulSu, Ohs hOLuiSL, ohO
qualmie and numerous other falls on
the streams flowing from the Olympic
and Chelan mountains and the Tum,
water and Chelan Falls, with Others
of smaller volume, furnish almost un
! limited power.

He might have added that amons

BIG TEXAS PROPERTY is
TRADED FOR LANDS HERE
VALUES ON BOTH SIDES AMOUNT
TO $425,6oo
Local Property Is Near covIna, Con.
sisting of Residence, Orange and
Alfalfa Lands, Comprising
Higgins Estate

A deal which has been pending for
five weeks was put through last week,
when vast acreage in Texas was traded
for. vast acreage in Southern Cali
fornia, representing $425,600 in values.
The big exchange was made by ]. C.
O'Dell of the real estate firm of c. B.
Guthrie of Los Angeles. The parties to
the transaction are J. w. higgins of
Covina and John T. Sweat of Grand
Falls, Ward county, Texas.
The property in Texas includes land
valued at 1881, 400, two cotton gins said
to be worth $4,000; live stock appraised
at $27 500, chattel mortgages amounting
to $34, 900, a mercantile store and stock
valued at $12, 200 and cotton crop esti-
mated to be worth $4,000. Besides
these are many smaller items.
j. w. higgins was formerly mayor
of Waco, Tex, and has long had q
desire to return to his old home in the
Lone Star state. 1t seems that for
the same reason Sweat is returning to
Southern California, after an absence
of seventeen years. During his life in
Texas he was for most of the time
a resident of Grand Falls. The wishes
of tke two men to return to their ma
tive estates was, it is said, strong
factor in the gigantic deal.
The total value of Higgins property
is placed at 500, and Sweatt's hold
ings are valued at $243,1 100. The former
will assume the difference in the deal
The higgins property is located in
the vicinity of Covina, and consists Of
residence property, orange and alfalfa
lands.
This is one of the largest exchanges
ever made in Southern California and
is considered a great transaction under
present conditions.
81 have devoted my entire time for
the last five weeks to this deal" said
Mr.. Odell, who returned from Texas
after witnessing the signing of the
contracts, which was the final act in
the transaction.
"There have been some trades made
that were larger than this, but it is the
biggest that has been consummated in
the last few months"

DEATH CLAIMS
CHARLES FOSTER
INVENTOR OF POLICE SIGNAL
PASSES AWAY
GUARDIAN OF HOMES IN BONNIE
BRAE DISTRICT
End Comes Almost on Eve of Realiza-
ton of Long Desire TO Have
System in General
Use

on the eve of the realization of an
ambition that has possessed him for
many years, Charles l.. Foster died FRI
day night at the Pacific hospital. His
death was expected. He had been i'll
for a long time. and when his malady
became critical he was removed to the
hospital. where he has been cared for
two weeks.
Foster was the inventor of the police
signal system that has acquired a wide
reputation under the name of the Fos-
Ter system. 1t was his ambition for the
last five years to have the system
adopted officially by the city, and the
council in the last budget appropriated
money, for the first time, to install a
limited number of the Foster boxes,
with the idea of increasing the system
every year.
Fosters system has been in operation
in the Westmoreland tract and the eX-
elusive Bonnie Brae district for about
three years, and during that time Mr.
Foster has been employed as private
watchman in connection with his sig
nal alarm.
Fosters wife and 14-year-old daugh-
ter Nellie survive. He was 81 years
old and came to Los Angeles twelve
years ago. He has been engaged IN
police work in some form ever since ne
came to this city. At one time he was
chief of police of Ocean Park, and made
a reputation for himself when he cap
tured Morris Buck, the murderer or
Mrs. C. A. ,Canfield.
The funeral will be held Monday az
ernoon at 2 o'clock from the family resi-
dence, 1895 Park View. Rev. Baker T.
Lee will officiate.

desperately with Mccarthy ana only sub
mitted to arrest after the revolver was
taken away.
Shortly after o'clock Ross and an
other man. William Long. had words
over a woman. The disputants are neigh
bors and live nearby.
Just as the pair were about to come to
blows buckley walked up. He asked
what the trouble was.
This is our fuss. Don't you interfere,
Ross announced.
You fellows are acting like a pair OF
hbies Come. cut it out" said Quickley
No sooner did the words leave his lips
according to Quickley. than Ross pulled
his revolver and with an ugly word
preface. began shooting. The first shot
went wild.
Quickley began to run. at the same
time calling for help. At this juncture
Policeman Mccarthy took hand.
