j. s. ORDERS S. P.
To BUILD BRIDGES
War Department Says Railroad
Must Leave Channel to
West Basin Open

An order issued by the war depart
ment ana announced in this city yes
terday. that the Southern Pacific must
complete drawbridge across the cham
mel to the west basin, Los Angeles har-
Dor. within twelve months, marks the
end of long fight waged by the har-
Dor commission to open the west basin
to the public ana insures the early and
continuous improvement of that por-
tion of the harbor. The bridge must
be of the bascule type.
A. p Fleming, secretary of the har-
Dor commission, expressed elation last
night over the receipt of the order by
Lieut.. Charles T. Leeds United States
engineer. Discussing it, he said:
1.-THE order to the railroad to put
in a rolling type of drawhridge over the
channel leading to the west basin
means the ending of fight begun by
the harbor commission at the hearing
ON the establishment of harbor lines
held in Wilmington on June IS, 1908,
and is a great victory for the people
and means that Los Angeles has with
in her boundaries the future great har-
Dor of the Pacific, presenting protect
ed areas that few, if any, harhors are
possessed Of. and that any part of the
harbor is accessible and can he used
for commerce and navigation.
Great credit is due to the chamber
of commerce. through whose influence

and directed to work for the establish
ment In San Pedro bay of a free and
municipality owned and controlled har-
hor. And to Capt. Amos A, Fries and
Lieut.. Charles T. Leeds and that stead
fast friend of the people d. +. Hughes,
the friends of a free harbor in San
Pedro bay owe a debt that can never
be paid In this connection Col. John
Biddle is entitled to share the graft.

PALO VERDE SETTLERS
WIN FIGHT FOR LAND
u. S. Surveyor General Renders
Decision UphoIding Ranch
erS' Titles to Homes

Settlers in the Palo Verde valley are
not to be disturbed in the possession
of their homes. f. II. Archer Unlted
States surveyor general for CalIornla'
having handed down a decision uphold-
inc the title of the United states TO
the lands of the valley. The settlers
aco1lired their titles under the federal
statutes. Recently other persons tried
to dispossess them on the ground ina .
the title to the lands rested IN the
state under an old law giving IL tltle
to swamp and overfloWed lands.
The case was heard in August. the
settlers forming a league to look alter
their interests. The act passed IN
1880. whereby the United States
ora nted 10 the various states all swamp
and oyerfowed lands within their re-
spective boundaries thereby made unht
for cultivation. was cited by California.
However. in the opinion of Mr.. Archer,
the state failed to substantiate It's
claim Ruling on this point, he he'd;
THE evidence all goes to show that
the Colorado river is subject to occa-
sional overfiows OF Varyhlg ne helg Ia IA
Sometimes a small portion of the lana
is covered and sometimes a large por-
tion 1t appears that at no time, even
during the highest overflow, was an
of the land in the valley covered WIN
water. 1t does not appear from the
evidence that particular Legal supai-
visions of the land involved were
flooded at any particular time.
'I am, therefore, impelled to the CON
clusion that the state has failed TO
prove that the greater part Of each
smallest legal subdivision in question
/ was swamp and overfloWed on Septem-
her %. 1850 or at any time thereafter
The case involved title to $4,000 acres
Of land. The intervenors and govern
ment were represented by Lucius Is:
Chase and Bert Campbell and Special
Agent w. J. Lewis of San Francisco,
while the state was represented by
GRAY, Barker, Bowen, Allen. Van Dyke

B|RDMEN BELIEVE
IN LAWS Of LUCK
Willard Ascends with a Rabbits
Foot, Originally Tied to the
Machine by Sister
BROOKINS TRUSTS IN CIGAR
Lincoln BeaChey Laughs at Su-
perstition and Processes
Faith in No. 13
BROoKINS TRUSTS IN CIGAR

If anyone thinks that aviators do
not believe in luck or omens he should
eo ont 70 aviation field and miugle with
The birdnen awhile. These kings OF
the air are college trained men. MOST
of them have the pennants of Harvard,
Yale. Cornell and other universities OF
the east hanging on the walls OIL theT
dens at home. They are men VINO
would scout superstitions under ordl-
nary conditions.
Rilt fying. up to the present moment
is not ordinary, so this accounts tor
tho exception to the rule. Some of the
birdmcn participating in the Los An
geles meet have queer little bellets IN
the matter of luck.
For instance, Charles Willard, VINO
recently flew from Los Angeles 10
Pasadena. never goes in the air unless
a rabbits foot originally tied to the
end of his machine py his sister, Miss
Emily Willard, is securely attached 70
his craft.
RABBITS FOOT on MACHINE
The ia bbit's foot was there yesterday.
If is tied to the lower plane on the
right side of the machine by Miss Will
lard herself. Willard says he would
not feel safe if he went in the air
without the rabbits foot on his ma
chine and consequently he never goes
up without it. He says he is contl-
dent as long as he keeps the rabbit $
foot in sight. bad luck will be held at
a safe distance. Wizards machine IS
No. %.
Miss Willard is in constant atten-
dance at the flights. She sits alone
as a rule. with her eyes fixed on the
field Yesterday she occupied box
at the upper end of the stand where
she could keep her brother well in
sight.
Walter Brookins has a queer notion
about things that he feels sure affect
his flying luck. He regards il as dis
tinctly an evil omen to take a sec
ond light on his cigar or cigarette.
That is. he will not let one person light
a cigar and hand the match TO him.
Nor will he let one person hold match
for him while he starts a smoke. To do
this Brookins is convinced would bring
bad flying luck He attributes one
fall to a violation of this rule he has
laid down for himself.
Lincoln BeaChey has a penchant for
the number "13' and believes il gives
him good luck. He always asks for
this number at aviation meets. and al
ways gets it, for other aviators shun
it. He has had few mishaps in ayia-
ton and has great faith in the lucky
thirteen.
