From the Satuhrlt
“Avatar” comes from a Sanskrit
word meaning a “descent.’’ It is ap¬
plied particularly to the descent of a
Hindu deity to earth in a manifest
form, either for beneficent or retribu¬
tive reasons. It corresponds to the
Christian term “reincarnation."
Fertile Valley j j
Of West Likely
To Become Desert
BISHOP, Cal.—Owens Valley, cra¬
dled on the eastern slope of the high
Sierras, once a fertile, productive re¬
gion where cattle roamed its grassy
floor and fruits and grains grew in
abundance, is threatened with return
to the desert wastes from which hardy
pioneers reclaimed it more than half
a century ago.
Water, the perennial point of con¬
troversy in the West, formerly flowed
through Owens Valley between the
banks of the Owens river and into
canals and ditches dug by the early
settlers to irrigate the fields and or¬
chards. Now it has been diverted
into the Los Angeles aqueduct to sup¬
ply the needs of the city, 225 miles
southward.
Citizens of the valley declare the
city used arbitrary methods to get
the water, when, in 1905, an agent,
alleged to have been disguised as a
federal official, entered the region and
made filings along the Owens river
for some 40 miles. His filings in¬
cluded storage rights which the val¬
ley people had given back to the gov¬
ernment in exchange for what they
understood to be a project to reclaim
150,000 acres of the desert stretches.
r Fhe agent, they later proved
say,
to be employed by the city of Los
Angeles. Instead of the reclamation
project, the city announced plans to
build an aqueduct and carry the wa¬
ter southward.
During the four years of drought
that followed the first land acquisi¬
tion, the city negotiated with ranch¬
ers for rights along the canals and
ditches, and soon obtained virtual con¬
trol of one of the larger canal sys¬
tems. Its waters were diverted into
the aqueduct, leaving adjoining ranch¬
es arid.
Resentment, generated through the
years, found a climax the night of
May 21, 1924, when 40 or 50 raiders
dynamited the huge concrete head
gates, near the first large reservoir,
at Haiwee. No arrests were made,
however, and the explosive, deftly
placed, failed to damage the aque¬
duct materially. Investigators be¬
lieved it an act of warning rather than
a move to cripple the water system.
Late in November the same year
an open demonstration of protest was
made when scores of ranchers seized
the Alabama waste gates, 60 miles
south of Bishop, and opened them,
allowing the stream to flow into the

More Millions
For Georgia
jtif ORE for additions, than $2,628,000 extensions will be and expended replace¬
ments to Georgia’s telephone service during
the year 1926.
This is one of the largest telephone
construction programs ever undertaken in
Georgia during one year. It follows closely
our policy of building in advance to keep
pace with the growth and progress of tbs
State.
It is estimated that more than 6,000 new
telephones will be added to the Bell System
in Georgia this year.
Such enormous additions and expan¬
sion makes the service indispensable to
every community and more valuable to
every individual user.
