(Special.) The aqueduct is completed. Those words are a magrlc " talisman to the men and women of Lo An geles with which to conjure the fu ture. After eight years of planning: and the expenditure of $26,000,000 of the city's treasury, a world of hard work and a patient waiting:, the mighty task Is at last finished, and the water is at the city's grates. From its mountain home the water' has been brought 233.3 miles, to the San Fernando Valley. , Whcn the Owens River water comqs dashing over the rocky cascade' at the head of the San Fernando Valley next Wednesday many assembled thousands of persons who are vitally . interested in the wealth that it brings will ap plaud exultantly. The ovent will mark the culmination of an enterprise and the acquisition of an asset worth intrinsically $100,000,- ooo. " ' 4'eli'hrntlon Over Two Days. William Mulholland is the engineer, who. in the face of criticism and op position, has unfalteringly hewn a path for t'.ie water through moun tains, canyons and desert lands. There at the cascades he will tell of the completed system and presant it for mally' to the city. The celebration will cover two days, Wednesday at the cascade and Thurs day at Exposition-Tark.

The "Hands-Around-the-State" 1915 concert tour of the California Shrin ers Is at an end, Sunday they jav their last concert in San Diego after giving concerts in every city of any size in California. . The tour was made to raise money to take them to Atlanta, Ga., next Spring to the -Grand Conclave of. the Shriners. That the tour was a suc cess is only a mild way of putting it. Over $50,000 was raised, which assures them sufficient funds to make the trip next Spring. After the conclave at Atlanta, the -California Shriners will then make a tour of the entire coun try. Speed Limit Increased. The harbor commission has increased the, speed limit for vessels In both the Inner and outer harbors to seven and a' half knots per hour for the former and ten knots for the latter. For some time the speed limit has been four miles per hour in the inner harbor and eight per. hour in the outer harbor. Several, months ago in response to urgent requests ; of shipping con cerns . the commission decided to in crease the .speed limit In the inner harbor to seven and one-half knots per hour for vessels drawing 20 feet of water or less. For vessels drawing more than 20 feet of water the speed limit in the inner harbor will be six knots per. hour. In the outer harbor the speed limit is - to be ten knots per hour instead ofeight, as at present. The com mis sion believes that by making these changes in the speed law,, the Pacific Navigation Company will be induced to continue the docking of the steamers Yale and Harvard, at Los Angeles harbor. . Los Angeles and Southern California will have an adequate exhibit at the San- Francisco exposition in 1915. . The Chamber of Commerce and. the Merchants and Manufacturers' Associa, tlon have, called, upon the county su pervisors to rent necessary space for fco. Angeles oy.s& a exhibition, pthes bodies will also take similar action 'In the near future. The county supervisors recently de cided that this county would not rent space at the fair because of charges of unfair action of the exposition heads and the state. The people of Southern California had contributed their share of the $5,000,000, the supervisors held, and they should not be assessed again for rental payment.. - 100.000 Rental Asked. But ' the merchants and other In terests of IOs Angeles and Southern California, regardless of the contention, demand that Los Angeles County and sister .southern counties cannot afford to keep their exhibits of fruit, flowers, minerals, and manufactures and other products out of the great exposition, because people from all over the world will look for the Los Angeles showing. Supervisors Pridham, Butler, Hln shaw and Manning have signified their willingness, if the people demand it. to rescind their recent action and rent space. But they still hold that an in justice' has been done the southland and that they should not be required to pay for space in the state building. The space in the state building was all taken up by the northern counties. By shaving space oft the allotment of the northern counties, the ' exposition heads have -reserved 30,000 square feet of space, which will be rented at ap proximately. $100,000. Sister Mary Emanuel Burke, aged 77, has passed away at the Sisters' Hospi tal. For 62 years she had worked in Los Angeles-and its environs. Even up to a few days before she was taken ill. she did her regular routine work of ministering to the poor. . She was well known to - humanitarian workers of Southern California and to many was known as "Angel Mary." When sne was sne Duma a nun and . soon .after, took up her work at the Boyle Heights Asyltim. This was fce.rp.re Sister' Hospital- wu built and for many years she worked there. Ten years ago she went to 'the Sisters' Hospital, where she was in charge of the distribution of charity to the poor. , Mayor's Secretary Resigns. In order to return to his former po sition -of secretary to Chief of Police Sebastian. C. E. Snively has tendered his resignation to Mayor H. II. Rose as the Major's secretary, which position he has filled for a year with credit. in his letter of resignation Snively calls attention to the fact that it was in November, 1912, that he was transferred- from Chief Sebastian's office to that of ex-Mayor Alexander, when the latter was In a quandary concerning a secretary. At that time Chief Sebastian merely regarded the Snively transfer as a "loan." Now that Mayor Ross has an inti mate knowledge of his office and does not require Snlvely's services to aid his mastering the routine of city hall work, Snively's resignation will take effect November 1. Mayor Rose has appointed George P. Renter, a well known newspaperman of. this city, to the position of secretary. All state offices: in Los Angeles are to be concentrated In one building, according to Chairman John F. Neylan. of the State Board of Control. The "branch state capital" Is to be located in some downtown office build ing if suitable terms can be made, and to this end bids will be asked from pro prietors of present modern office struc tures and those In course of construc tion. Several floors -will be required foT the' quarters of the State Supreme Court. District Court of Appeals and the offices of a dozen or more state commissions, examining boards and varleus officials, according to Chair man Neylan. Butter Imports Uoo't Worry. "The plan was conceived In the in terest not only of economy and ef ficiency," said Mr. . Neylan, "but also to aid the public. A half dozen or more state officials or commissions have offices In Los Angeles and prob ably no two are In" the same building. With all state officials here in the same building the state expects to save money and increase efficiency by pro viding adequate quarters and serve the publio, better." ' The first shipment of New' Zealand Auitralian. putter U W country under the reduced duty of the new tariff bill arrived in Los Angeles Satur day, and will be placed on the local market this week. It Is understood that the foreign butter will be approx imately the same quality as Eastern storage butter. The butter men, especially the cream ery men, declare that the new but ter will not affect prices of the fresh California butter. The production, cost of transportation, reloading, refriger ation and the 2 cents per pound duty provided for by the Underwood blli will bring the cost to a sufficiently high- figure by the time It reaches the local market, it is agreed, to cause no material reduction In butter prices to the Los Angeles consumer. APPLE EXPERT IN. DEMAND Many Requests Made for Addresses ( by Eugene Manager. EUGENE. Or.. Nov. , 8. (Special.) The fame of the work of the Eugene Fruit Growers' Association' co-operative cannery here has so spread throughout the Northwest that the manager. J. O. Holt, is fairly swamped with requests to make addresses in all parts of Ore gon, Washington and Idaho. The most complimentary request comes from the National Apple Show, which Is to be held at Spokane Novem ber 17-20. where Mr. Holt Is asked to tell to apple-growers from all over the world how farmers about Eugene have built up a business of 30 to 40 cars of fruit annually where only a few years ago practically none was shipped. 1 Mr. Holt has not given a definite re ply, owing to the difficulty of leaving his work. Mr. Holt has consented to make two addresses at the Oregon Agricultural College this Winter, and probably will accept the invitation to speak at the State Horticultural convention In Port land. The meetings in which he is par. ticularly interested, however, are the monthly sessions of the Lane County Horticultural Society, at which the problems of the Lane County horticul turist will be discussed, and plans mads ' for the raising of the standard of fruit frown here. PORTLAND WO M AN IS AUTHOR OF NEW BOOK Elnora E. Shillig ' Writes "The Tour Wonders, " Volume Designed for Children to Teach Evolution. of Cotton, Wool, Linen and Silk. EVERY occasionally ' some' Portland man or woman becomes the author of a sort, story: once In a longer while some one of them writes a book. A great many more are always just go ing to write one some day. ' One of Portland's young women' who does-not believe In putting oft until tomorrow what should be written today Is Miss Elnora E. Shillig. -For several years she has-been a . contributor ' of ' chil dren's storle3 to various magazines and is known particularly well for her lit erary work and : lectures : In Seattle, where for ten years before coming to Portland she was a primary teacher in, the- public schools. ' ' Miss Shillig, has devoted two years to the preparation of the book, which has just been issued by Rand, McNally Company. Most of this preparation was made right In the schoolroom. The title of . the book is "The Four Won ders" cotton, wool, linen and silk. The book is. for children. Each sub ject is token up in a delightfully orig inal way. In the subject of cotton the fibre is placed in the hands of the children and the moulding of expressed thoughts begin. Miss Shillig drew much of the material for her book di rectly from the children. She made the subject so - interesting for them that as fast - as she wrote sentences upon the board the children uncon sciously learned to read their own spoken, words with marvelous rapid ity and their interest was held from day to'day until the subject of cotton was carried from its first seed planted and the development of the cotton fibre on to Ell Whitney's cotton gin and the Civil War. In a like manner the other subjects were treated. The child Is carried in a most fascinating way from the fibre in the hands to the fin ished cloth,' back to the- days" of 'the hejheri In tbe Holjr Lands before Christ's time. For the illustration of this subject Miss Shillig has used a fine., picture of Oregon sheep taken In the hills of Eastern Oregon. She obtained it from the Paciflo' Monthly. " Most of the Illustrations are-from pho tographs taken by- the- author.- Material-objects brought into the school room to arouse Interest are preserved in photographic form, which make ex cellent data for teachers in -using- tho book. Tho cotton stalk, with Its blos soms and bolls, and tho actual raising of the silk worm are beautifully shown. . . For valuable information on the sub ject of the silk industry Iiv Japan Miss Shillig. is Indebted to Dr. Ida, the Japanese Consul, who lives In Port land. Valuable suggestions to teach ers and illustrations of two sand ta bles are found at the close of the book. These tables were made by Miss Bhll llg's pupils. One has a little cotton field, colored rag dolls and a cabin, with Its dooryard, dog and chickens. One of wool is a work of landscape beauty, with a flock of toy sheep roam ing the hillsides of moss and rocks, and a band huddled In a corner of tlio "field." eating hay from a rack. Tlio shepherd and his dog are with them. The book was prepared for second grade children and Is valuable for third-grade use and a boon for any third-grade teacher. Miss Shillig has been asked by Rand, McNally Company to prepare similar books along original lines. J. K. Gill is handling the Ijook. Senate Confirms Nominations.
