AOUEDUCT CONTRACT
AWARDED BY BOARD
LACK OF FUNDS CAUSED LONG
DELAY
Public Works Body Rejolces That
Monster Project Is Financed by
Big Banking Firms Of
New York

1t took the board Of public works just
about long enough to get in session
after the sale of the Owens river aque-
duct bonds to the New York syndicate
yesterday to award contracts on work
long delayed on the aqueduct.
The board has steadfastly refused to
award any more contracts or consider
any bids until assured OF money where
with to pay the contractors for work
performed. When the members of the
board were assured they not only would
have about $4,O00,OO0 in ready money as
fast as they could spend 1T, but the
entire project was financed, they inn
mediately considered the report of the
water board, which has been before
them for some time, and awarded ABOUT
$4,000 worth OF contracts. For cefnent
mill machinery the II. w. Caldwell 81
Son, Webster Manufacturing company,
Union Hardware and Metal company,
and Conveying Weigher company were
successful bidders for different classes
OF machinery.
Successful bidders for electrical ma
chinery and equipment for the Jaw
bone tunnels were: Transformers, Al
disclaimers company, induction mo-
tors, General Electric company;
switches, j. N. Kelman: polyphase
wattmeters, Westinghouse Electrical
Manufacturing company.

Ter mart of this month what will prob
ably be the largest single contract on
the entire conduit 1t is for the con-
struction of the Jawbone canyon sec
ton, involving the building of huge
syphon, and it is estimated that the
work will cost in the neighborhood OF
$2,0O0,000.
It is with feeling of great relief the
board received the news that the en-
tire issue of bonds had been sold. Gen.
Chaffee, in whose care is intrusted the
general management OF the aqueduct
work, has been passing many sleepless
nights in worry over the manner or
financing the project, and he looked ten
years younger yesterday when all his
doubts were set at rest
The board is confident that now It
can assure contractors the money VIII
he ready for them when stipulated, 1t
will be able to make it's contracts to
much better advantage.

crosses bitches or climbs hills. 1t can
be made to go anywhere and carry
with 1t a load of sixty tons of material.
The manufacturers of the engine arc
anxious the board of public works pur-
chase some of these machines for use
in the construction of the aqueduct, as
the invention, which is a new one, will
thereby be given a big advertisement.
AS an inducement, the company offers
to send one of the engines to the owens
valley and let the city give it a thirty
days trial free. A man will be fur
nished by the company to operate the
machine for the time of the experiment
without cost to the city.
1t is practically certain the offer will
be accepted. If 1t proves equal to the
work and is found to respond to the
agents glowing claims for it, several
of the engines will be purchased.
They will cost the city $500 each.

WILL EXPERIMENT WITH
NEW TRACTION ENGINE
Late Invention May Save City Hum
dreds Of Thousands In Con-
structlon Of Railroads
for Conduit

A proposal was laid before the board
of public works yesterday which in the
saving OF railroad construction and
maintenance will make difference Of
several hundred thousand dollars In the
cost of the construction of the Owens
river aqueduct.
The porposal is to purchase a new
kind of traction engine. 1t was pre-
sented by the coast agent of the Holt
Manufacturing company, with head
quarters at Stockton, and is being ia
vorably considered by the board of pub
lie works.
Traction engines, as a rule, require
hard dirt roads on which to travel, and
sink to the hubs when operated in sand
such as the desert through which most
of the work on the conduit will be done.
This engine, however, carries its own
track with it, attached to the wheels
Each section of track is three feet long
and can be made longer if the work
requires, and in this way It readily

GIVES NEWS OF
STEAMER OHIO
LOCKED IN HUGE ICE PACK
NEAR NOME
Volunteer Crew from the Yucatan
Makes Journey Over Frozen Fields
In Lifeboat to Speak Be-
eaguered Vessel

Tidings from Seattle give particulars
concerning the situation of the pas
sengers on the steamer Ohio, many of
whom are Angelenos. When last heard
from she was locked in the ice near
Nome, her destination. Latest reports
intimate that the Ohio has made her
way to Dutch Harbor, but this is not
credited by Alaskan travellers, who say
that this would involve a journey of
over 900 miles, whereas Nome, her des-
tination, is less than a hundred miles
distant.
The Yucatan has just returned to Sc
attic after speaking the Ohio. At great
personal risk a volunteer crew of ten
men from the Yucatan, June 10. made
the trip across the ice field in a life
boat and boarded the Ohio.
Both steamers had been caught in
the same huge pack and the fog was
so heavy that the nervy travellers had
to make their way by compass,
though they could hear the constant
whistling of the Yucatan, the Ohio
and the Northwestern. all of which
were caught at the same time. These
three made up the first fleet to take the
trip to Nome this season.
Make Three Hours Visit
Chief Mate E. Amman of the VOlun-
teers and his men spent three hours
aboard the Ohio and found the pas
sengers in good spirits, though their
tobacco supply had run short. Men on
the Ohio offered 81 bag il the Yucca
tan crew would retrace it's way over
the ice and bring some back, but the
offer was declined.
Capt. James O'Brien, a veteran
northern navigator from the crows
nest, directed the efforts of the men
in making their way. He remained in
the rigging fifty hours until compelled
by snow blindness and the peeling of
his skin to go below. When coffee was
handed O'Brien he insisted it was
green, showing how his sight had been
affected.

rapher, in telling of the perilous trip,

the wisdom Of securing authority ov-
er the zone through which it is to be
built.
We favor the immediate admission
of the territories of New Mexico and
Arizona, as separate states into the
union.
February IL, 1909, will be the one
hundredth anniversary Of the birth
Of Abraham Lincoln. We recon-
mend that this centennial anniver-
sary be celebrated throughout the
confines of the nation by all people
thereof and especially by the public
schools, as an exercise to stir the pat
riotism of the youth Of the land
We call attention to the fact that
none Of the great measures here ad-
vocated by the Republican party
could be encated under Democratic
administration or under one in which
party responsibility is divided. The
continuance of present policies there
fore, absolutely requires the contin-
uancc III power of that party which
believes in them and which possesses
the capacity to put them into opera
ton.
Beyond all platfrom declarations,
there are fundamental differences be-
tween the Republican party and its
chief opponent, which make the one
worthy and the other unworthy Of
public trust.
The present trend Of Democracy is
toward socialism,, while the Republi-
can party stands for wise and reg
ulated individualism.
Socialism would destroy wealth.
Republicanism would prevent it's
abuse. In line with this tendency,
the Democratic party Of today be-
lievcs in government ownership, while
the Republican party believes in GOV
crnment regulation. Ultimately the
Democratic party would have the ma
ton own the people, while Republic
canlsm would have the people own
the nation.
Upon this platte Of principles
and purposes, reatlirming our adhcr-
cncc to every Republican doctrine
proclaimed since the birth Of the
party, we 90 before the country, ask
ing the support, not only Of those
who have acted with us heretofore,
but all Of our fellow citizens, who,
regardless Of past political differ
cnccs, unite in the desire to maiA-
tain the policies and perpctuate the
blessings and make. sure the achieve
mcnts of greater America.
