TO COMPEL SUBURBS
TO ANNEX TO CITY

Los Angeles, Oct. 16.--That annex
alton to the city of Los Angeles shall
be a condition precedent to supplying
outside districts with Owens river
water was the policy laid down by the
new annexation commission at its
meeting in the mayors office yester-
day afternoon. Commissioner r.
levitt was instructed to present a
resolution to this effect at the next
meeting of the commission, which
will be tomorrow afternoon at $3.50
o'clock
1t was the consensus of opinion at
yesterdays meeting that outside dis
tricts desiring to be supplied with Ow-
ems river water should first become
consolidated with the greater city and
be willing to bear just proportion Of
the city's bonded Indebtedness as the
result of such annexation and con-
solidation.
The commission met yesterday and
organized by electing Councilman
Betkouski temporary chairman of the
commission, and C. E. Snively, Mayor
Rose secretary, as temporary secre-
Mayor Rose, Councilman Betkouski,
Special Counsel Hewitt, George Har-
rison, former Councilman Miles Greg
ory, Ralph Criswell, Ora Monette and
George Dunlop. Attorney J. A. An
derson, the ninth member of the COM
mission, did not attend yesterdays
meeting.
1t was decided that each member
of the commission should be furnished
with a statement showing the city's
outstanding bonded Indebtedness and
with maps prepared by the city en-
gineer and the water department and
showing the city of Los Angeles and
the various outside districts.

MALADY TAKES FLOCK OF
DUCKS ON TULARE LAKE

Wasco, Oct. 16-The California
game commission has completed a
series of tests on the Tulare lake
ducks in an attempt to discover the
cause of the strange malady which
has slain countless thousands of the
fowls in the Tulare lake region in re-
cent years.
The commissioners hope to solve the
mystery that dismays the sportsmen
and threatens to destroy utterly the
migratory birds.
Prof. Clark of the University Of
California has been conducting the
experiments at Tulare lake. Upton
Matthews of Wasco, deputy commits
sioner, has been assisting.
Mr.. Matthews says there are at
least 10000 fat, dead ducks floating
on Tulare lake and conditions are
ideal for solving the mystery.
The ducks first go into coma.
Prof. Clark penned up the birds so
that he could watch the stages of the
disease. Those that were fed on food
obtained in or near the water grow
worse. The lake water is about so
per cent alkali.
Prof. Clark has reported officially
but says the disease does not origi-
nate with the ducks themselves, and
he believes pure, fresh water is the
only thing needed.

CONSERVE WATER SUPPLY,
FOREST EXPERT ADVISES

San Diego, Oct. 16.-Henry S.
Graves, chief forester of the United
States, arrived in San Diego last night
accompanied by Coert Du Bois, dis
trict forester, with headquarters in
San Francisco. The visit of Mr.
Graves is for the purpose of going
over the Cleveland reserve and study
ing the conditions there, meeting the
corps of engineers at work classifying
the lands, and considering new admin
istrative measures.
He will also determine whether the
proper boundary lines have been es-
tablished as it is possible that they
are not correct, which interferes with
the efficiency 'of the service. ...
Regarding the letter sent by the
chamber of commerce lately, recon-
mending that the underbrush be
burned off at least every two years
in order to prevent recurrence of
the fierce brush fires which swept the
county last month, Graves said he
could not bring himself to believe that
the people of San Diego county did
not want forest protection. He said
that the only way to conserve the
water supply was to allow nature to
work in its own way, and that clear
ing away the protecting brush from
the hand did not constitute conserva-

ton. The forestry bureau spends on
an average of $4,000 per year on the
reserve here, and should the superin-
tendent become convinced that the
people do not want forest protection,
this amount may be withdrawn to be
placed elsewhere. This would work
great hardship on those who have de-
pended more or less on the forest re-
serve protection.
City Forester Max Watson and
Charles A. Cusba Of the water depart
ment conferred with Mr.. Graves this
morning and outlined to him the pro-
jected plans for enlarging and i'm
proving the present water system for
which bonds are to be voted this
month. The chief forester will work
up through the reserve to Hemet and
thence to Los Angeles. He expects
to remain on the coast for some time,
familiarizing himself with conditions
here.
