WATER COMPANY TO
DEVELOP ITS PLANT
BIG EXPENDITURE FOR NEW
MAIN AUTHORIZED
Eighty Thousand Dollars Will Be Used
in Constructing Line from Wells
Near Cotton and Other
improvements
Especial to The Herald.l

RIVERSIDE, Sept 2S.-Directors of
the Riverside Water company have au-
thorized important developments to the
company's plant. An expenditure of
SSO. 600 has been authorized for a new
main for the company's domestic sup
ply. which is secured in artesian wells
a short distance east of Cotton. Inc
directors also voted to close the lower
canal, running all the water in the up
per canal. which will be cemented its
entire length. The lower canal will be
used in part by the city as a storm
drain. 1t is eight miles long, beginning
at First street and running to a point
below Arlington. 1t is believed that
considerable water thus can be saved
from seepage and evaporation.
The company has entered into an
agreement with the Anaheim Union
Water company and the Santa Ana
River Development company, the two
big corporations in Orange county,
which adiudicate all the water rights in
the Santa Ana river and it's tributaries
and will put an end to costly litigation.
Under the agreement Riverside gets
the amount of water it has had on IN
average for the past twenty years, but
cannot made further developments OF
land under the system.
Articles of Incorporation were filed to-
day of the san Bernardino Valley Con-
servation association, which is organ
lied to distribute the storm waters of
the San Bernardino basin in winter
time, with a view to conserving them
for summer use. Land has been Sc
cured from the government above Red
lands for this purpose, and the asso-
citation has an option from the South
ern Pacific company for alternate Sec
tions of land in the locality. A divert
ing dam will be constructed and the
storm waters spread over the great riv-
er bed and sand area.
Directors of the new association are
w. G. Fraser and Francis Cutie, Riv-
erside; Geo N. Cooley and Kenneth
Macrea, San Bernardino; Herbert e.
Garstin, Redlands; VIM. McLachlin,
Anaheim; NJ. Nilsson and E. e. Keech,

UNCONSCIOUS MINER

ANIMAL TEARS AT WOUND IN
MANS LEG
Prospector Shoots Self in Effort to
Draw Blood from Beast-Both
Are Crazed by
Thirst

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 2S.-With
a vicious burro tearing at Jagged
wound in his leg for blood to moisten
its parched throat, Jacob George, an
old prospector of the Mojave desert,
was found unconscious this morning
by a party of miners returning from
the Furnace regions. He is now at
Lone Willow Springs, the nearest point
that medical assistance could be Sc
cured.
The rescue party, headed by Alex
ander James, brought in the aged
prospector who for two days was lost
in the Slate range, at the edge of
Death valley.
In an effort to inflict a flesh wound
on the pack animal to secure blood
with which to moisten his swollen
tongue and throat, George accidently
shot himself through the leg. He lay
helpless beneath the burning desert
sun until unconsciousness relieved his
deliriums.
Then the burro, crazed from lack of
water, tore at the wound in Georges
leg.

GAS PLANT NEAR ONTARIO

company's plant, located "a mile and
half south of town, this week. They
We're astounded at the progress made
during the past few months
The company is comparatively new,
being established in February. It's
capitalization at the time was $100, 0OO
The first mains were laid on March
IS. Mayor Smith turned the first
shovel of dirt and several speeches
We're made at the time by prominent
Southern Californians. The plant was
installed in July, and by the middle
of the month fifty consumers were
using gas.
In the month of August the number
of services installed had increased to
300 and the books of the company
now show a list of 500 subscribers
The plant is the best in this section.
1t has a double set of burners with a
capacity of 100000 cubic feet of gas
per day, sufficient to supply 1900 con-
sumers with 1000 feet per month.
A large portion of the company's
stock is owned by local people, so that
it is practically a home corporation.

PASADENA, Sept. 2S.-Once again
has the city council refused to pay F.
d. Salo $4,000 demanded as compen-
sation for cutting the street down in
front of his residence on Lake avenue,
and it is not improbable a law suit
viii be the result
The city has decided to purchase a
suction sweeper to clean the streets.
1t will be operated by two men and
two horses and will take the place of
the great heavy wagon which is run
now at a cost of ST per night.
Complaints have been made against
the yards maintained by the city on
Villa street as being a nuisance be-
cause of smoke from an engine and
noise from a cement machine and odor
from refuse. An investigation was
ordered
Outside contractors cannot be Ii
censed, according to the opinion of the
city attorney, and in consequence the
petition of Business Agent Schutt of
the carpenters union was denied by
the city council this morning. The
legal department of the city declared
that such an ordinance would not be

James H. McLachlan today returned
to his home in this city from a trip
with the congressional committee to
the Hawaiian islands. Congressman
McLachlan stated this afternoon he
was particularly impressed with the
beauty of the islands and their i'm
portance to the United States. He said
that needed improvements are harbors,
one for each of the four main islands.
In view of the fact that Mr.. McLach-
Ian is a member of the rivers and har-
Dor committee of the house Of repre-
sentatives, this is considered as spe-
cially significant.
Mr.. McLachlan has charge of that
portion of the congressional party

Congressman Richard Bartholdt. St.

DIRECTORS OF IRRIGATION
COMPANY ARE COMMENDED
Stockholders in Concern Pass Resolu-
ton After inspection of Santa
Ana Canyon

SANTA ANA, Sept. 2S.-FSty- five
stockholders of the Santa Ana Valley
Irrigation company yesterday took an
excursion into Santa Ana canyon to
view the headwaters of two important
canals belonging to the company The
trip was important as it was taken
to secure information as to proposed
water development The company has
been divided as to its future policy
along this line and an approaching
election demanded investigation of
conditions by the stockholders. a vast
waste of money in operating expenses
is incurred at present, and it is be-
lieved a submerged dam at Scullys
point would cut out much of this eX-
pense.
After a thorough inspection of the
ground and the company equipment
the visiting stockholders passed, With
out a dissenting voice, resolutions
commencing the directors for purchas-
ing lands for the protection of water
claims and recommending future direc-
tors to continue vigorously the same
policy.
