| LOS ANGELES. May s. 1911.
| Six years ago the people of Los An
| geles voted an issue Of S24,OOOOOO in
bonds to pay for what they considered
the finest supply of water furnished to
any city in the world. The first issue
of bonds was made in 1907, and the last
will be made this year. The work is
being done under the direction of the
| municipal water board of which Lieut..
Gen. Adna R Chaffee is chairman and
William Mulholland is chief engineer.
The aqueduct, which is go miles long
will bring sufficient amount of water
to supply a city of two million inhab-
itants across from Owens lake, which
has an area Of seventy-five square miles
at elevation of 3.s12 feet in a group
OF twenty-three peaks, all of these more
than 1880 feet high. The highest is
Mount Whitney, which rises to a height
of 14,J02 feet. These mountains are
snow covered the year around. and among
them may be found some of the grandesl
scenery in the world. including King
River canyon. which. many people think,
is equal to the Yosemite. Owens lake
receives the drainage of $500 square
miles. 1t is near the Nevada line. only
nIty miles east or the Yosemite National
Park. in the Sequoia national forest. and
not far from the Sequoia National Park,
where may be found the grandest col
lection of trees in the world.
The first twenty miles is open earth
canal, which follows the canyon of Owens
river. The next thirty-nine miles is an
open concrete conduit. laid upon the
mountain sides, and follows their con-
tour like a mountain road. For twenty
eight miles the conduit rests in bitches
carved from the rocky walls. and for
an equal distance Is sustained by arti-
fetal causewaYs Of rocks. 1t next passes
80 miles through the Mojave desert on
the edge of Death valley. the most desc
late and forbidding spot in the United
States, and. passing under the Sierra
Madre range of mountains, energies into
Los Angeles valley, and there rests in
storage reservoirs 1000 feet above the
city of Los Angeles and twenty miles
away.

Originator of Project.

The father OF the project was Fred
Eaton, Los Angeles engineer Of fame.
And his influence with the city council
and the public was so great that his rec
concentrations were accepted without
question. He was once mayor Of Los
Angeles and previous to his election was
city engineer. He had been at one time
superintendent of the city waterworks
and had lived for thirteen years as a
rancher in the Owens valley. The water
board bought 100 square miles of land
| for more than a million dollars solely
upon his recommendation and accepted
his plans almost precisely as they were
submitted.
William Mulholland was made superin-
| tendent and chief engineer. He was born
| in Ireland, came to America as a boy and
| arrived in California when he was twen-
| ty-two years old with SO in his pocket.
| His first job was to clean the bitches OF
the Los Angeles City Water Com
pany. and he has ever since been con-
nected with the water supply Of that city.
For three years he lived alone in a cabin
| far up on the banks Of the Los Angeles
| river as a "Sanjero, or ditch cleaner.
He spent his days performing his duty
| and sat UP nights educating himself He
was promoted as his usefulness and abil-
tiles were recognized, and finally became
| superintendent of the water company.
He was retained in that position when
the property was taken over by the mu-
nicipality, in 1902.
| Mr. Mulhollands chief assistant was
J. 3. Lippincott formerly connected with
the United States reclamation service.
/ The line of the aqueduct was appor-
toned into eleven divisions, ranging from
six to twenty-three miles according to
the character Of construction. and each
division was placed in charge Of an as
| siStant engineer, who had wide latitude
| in the exercise OF discretion.

caro- of infants.

A large part of the sickness among
infants In hot weather Is due to
insufficient cooling OF the living AMI
NAL body. DR.. Henry ID. Chaplin, OF
New York, in a leading article in
a recent number Of the the Journal
of The American Medical Associa-
ton, emphasizes the importance OF
cool. fresh air for infants during
the sumer months. He says, '::im-
agine an infant on a hot day lying
in crib surrounded by curtains
Air movement is stopped, and the at
mosphere around the infant becomes
40 saturated with water vapor from
the evaporated perspiration that no
more can evaporate, with the result
that the infants cooling system
breaks down and vomiting and
diarrhoea may ensue.
LAS long as the air is not sat
urated with vapor, but is in notion,
It is. perfectly feasible to Nbe cool
and comfortable. If the air is dry or
is in motion, it is capable OF vapor-
izing perspiration, but when an IN
FAINT is subject to conditions which
render It unable to lfberate its heat
properly, trouble invariably follows
The best treatment in such cases is
to stop all food temporarily, give
the infants a bath to remove heat
keep them quiet and provide them
with plenty of fresh lar"
This emphasis Of fresh air should
not be looked on as a hobby. IN
sufficient air means incomplete COM
bustion. Air is as essential to the
infant as food.

Whitman County Convention
of Farmers Union.

The Whitman County convention
met at Colfax February 9th, with
President A. e. Kirkland presiding.
A committee on credentials was ap-
pointed and while they were pre-
pairing their report, State President
Grow gave an interesting and encour-
aging report of the work and condi-
ton of the Union in the nation and
state. He was followed by r. c. Nc
Croskey of the state Legislative com
mittee, who detailed what they had
been doing at Olympia and predicted
that several OF the bills favored by
the organization will be passed by
the legislature.
At the afternoon session several
resolutions, which it is deemed best
not to make public, were adopted.
The county executive committee, in
whose power had been placed the
matter of securing a proper classifi-
cation of the county, from the board
of county commissioners, reported
that the board had under advise
ment resolution providing for a
census of the county to be taken by
the deputy assessors, and fixing the
salaries of the county officers on the
basis of an eighth class county
unless the enumeration made by the
deputy assessors should show a pop
ulation of $4,000, in which case the
salaries would be raised accordingly
and the officers reimbursed for
the difference on their back sal
aries.
This plan was discussed and a res
olution unanimously adopted and
sent to the comm issioners opposing
the plan on the ground that it would
be expensive and not as accurate as
the federal census and urging that
decision be promptly rendered in
accordance with the returns of the
federal census. The executive COM
mittee was given full power to act
in the matter and to start action in
the courts TO force a reduction in
the classification of the county,
should they deem it advisable.
The convention adjourned to meet
in Colfax, Wednesday, March Sth.

PULLMAN TAKES TWO
FROM ENDICOTr
Pullman High School Basketball Team
Wins Two Fast Games From
Endicott High School.

The Pullman high school basket
ball team added two moro victories
to its seasons record last week. The
games were played at Endicott
against the fast Endicott high school
team and in both contests the local
aggregation had to hurry to carry off
the honors.
The first game was played Friday
evening and resulted in a score OF
% to 20. At the end of the second
half the score stood 20 each, and it
required several minutes extra play
to throw the winning basket. in
the second game the Pullman boys
showed much better form, but the
team also played a better
game and at the end of the second
half the Pullman team was victor
by the narrow margin of one point,
the score being 90 to 23.
The Pullman boys have lost but
one game this season, that being the
first game played, when the Genesee
aggregation took them into camp.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The Pullman high school debating
team debates the Tekoa team Friday
evening at Tekoa. Tekoa is known
to be strong but the supporters of
the Pullman trio are confident that
the local team will come home with
flying colors. This will be the first
county debate for Pullman, Colfax
having forfeited to this school. AL
though the team has lost one of the
members, VIII Nessly, his place is
ably filled.
The question is, Resolved, That
the Federal Control of the Natural
Resources Is Preferable TO State Con-
troll" Pullman has the affirmative
of the question.
The Pullman team gave its debate
before the high school assembly
evening, to accustom them
to the crowd. In this way the stu
dents gained an impression OF the
kind of fight cur team will put up,
and all were pleased with the speech
es. The Pullman team is composed
of Russell Chamberlain, Celia Bur-
CESS and Helen Hungate.
