ALL HONOR TO THE HORSE

When Bill and Mary, the William
Allen White youngsters, began to
grow up it was decided that the fam
lily needed a horse. "No Nancy Hanks
that can do a mile in 2:O4 is want
ed" Mr.. Whites advertisement read
"All that is necessary Is that the ami
NAL have leg on each of it's four
corners, and that it be so gentle the
| it when it is not pulling the bug
children can play teeter-totter over
gy." "Old Tom" qualified, and since
the Whites have owned him, "the or.
iginal fireless-cooker horse" as Mr.
White calls him, has become one OF
| the landmarks of the town.
The assessor came around and
among the items of personal proper.

horse, value one hundred dollars.
The assessor looked astonished
"You don't mean to tell me-" he
said, "that you are putting in the
old nag you drive around town al
one hundred dollars! Let's make il
| fifteen; even then I'll feel the coun.
| ty is skinning you"
what" Mr.. White returned
emphatically, "assess that versatil.
horse at fifteen dollars? I'd b
ashamed to look him in the face. -

GREAT TUNNEL
FOR LOS ANGELES


Los Angeles, CAL, April 5.-The
Elizabeth tunnel is the excavation
through the crest of the coast range
by which the Los Angeles aqueduct
will pour the waters of the Owens
river down through the San Fran
cisco valley on to the coastal plain.
The tunnel is 26,360 feet long,
making it the second longest water
tunnel in the United States. The
eminent reclamation project which
provides for the irrigation of the
Uncompahgre valley with water
from the Guniison river stands first
with length of 10000 feet, and was
opened about year ago.
The south portal of the Elizabeth
tunnel lies about sixty-seven miles
north and west Of Los Angeles. The
north portal lies two miles south of
the town of Fairmont in the Ante
lope valley
The scheme of the aqueduct pro-
vides for the storage of water in a
reservoir called the Fairmont at the
north mouth of the tunnel and
nestled in the foothills of the north
ern slope of the Coast range. This
reservoir, which is built as regu-
lating basin, will empty into the tun-
mel by means of hydraulic gates.
On the south side of the noun
tain range the tunnel opens into
Bear canyon, which is an arm of the
San Francisco canyon, along the rim
of which the water will be carried in
conduit, tunnel and fumes, to be
dropped at three different points, a
total distance of 1900 feet, for the
development of power, before coming
to rest in the San Francisco reser-
voirs, about forty-seven miles from
the mouth of the Elizabeth tunnel.
When concerted up the tunnel will
be feet inches wide by 10 feet 10
inches high, and is designed to car
ry 1000 second feet of water. The
grade is l foot in every 1000 feet,
so that the inlet is 1886 feet high
er than the outlet. The elevation
of the tunnel above the sea level is
approximately 1880 feet. The crest
of the range at this point is about
1900 feet. One of the features of
the project is that the tunnel lies
directly under Hughes lake, small
(sheet of water which lies Graded in
the Elizabeth Lake valley, $50 feet
above the roof of the tunnel.
The Elizabeth tunnel is the great
est single feature of the aqueduct
project and its Opening up" marks
an epoch in the history of the en-
terprise.
About 20 pounds per foot of high
power dynamite has been required
to bore the tunnel. The total amount
Of high explosives consumed there
fore, amounts to $4,000 pounds.
