AQUEDUCT FINISHED GIVES TO LOS
ANGELES ASSETS OF $100,000,000
William Mulhollan.d Is Engineer Who, in Tace of Criticism, Hews Path for Water Through Momtains
.. fornia Shriners Band Tours State to Raise $50,000 for Convention Trip.
-Cali-
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 8. (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. Everybody' is
invited and a great crowd is expected
by the committee.
A naval demonstration as an impor
tant part of the celebration has been
arranged by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. One cruiser. four torpedo
boats and four submarines will be in
Los Angeles Harbor November1 6 and 6.
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.
