The hunters tell us that the shoot

COON.
Mr.. John Steer has an almond
tree i'm bloom. 1t is less than two
years Old from the seed.
The repairs on the wharf were
finished last Monday. The recent
heavy seas that demolished so
many wharves up the coast only
necessitated the replacing of nine
piles.
We grleve sorely over the old
fogy aspect which Santa Monica
now presents. We have received a
challenge from the Captain of the
Los Angeles Base ball Club, to any
similar organization in the City
by the Sea, and it appears that
we are wholly deficient in the cul-
tivation of this "manly art"
Surely we are "undone.n
A meeting was held last Thurs
day evening in the Public School
House, at which quite number of
citizens were present, to consider
the Importance of levying special
tax to continue q free school. The
Trustees explained that it was i'm.
possible to run the school during
the period required by law, unless
special levy is made to supple
ment The State and county appor-
tionment. After a general debate
il was voted to change the levy
from $4,000 to $1,000. So the mat
ter stands. The election will take
place on the 9th of March.

about our splendid bathing and

localities, and the result would be
cheap fares and cheap freights.
Any road which would cause this
competition should be assisted. 1t
was unjust now to raise the cry CT
subsidy, after every other section
had been benefited, for Southern
California was certainly entitled to
some consideration.
Mr.. Satterwhite said that the
subsidy, if it could be called such,
was small one, $2,000,000 per year
guaranteed, and should not be taxi
en- into consideration in view of
the benefits to result from the COM
pletion of road on the thirty
second parallel. The proposed road
would be 425 miles shorter than
the other, and having a terminus
at San Diego, would attract much
business, become successful and
competing line. The managers of
the Southern Pacific Railroad do
not propose to build their road I'M
aided, for they want the land grant
of the Texas-Pacific. The asser-
ton that the Government would
have to pay $125,0OO,OOO in fifty
years was only made to terrify the
people. The interest guaranteed
was only $1,000, 900 year, secured
by the net earnings of the road.
The Central Pacific Railroad earned
$4,000, 900 annually, and the Texas
Pacific Railroad certainly could
earn $2,000,000. The aid asked was
so insignificant when compared
with those granted, that it should
not be objected to, especially when
the advantages were considered.
Upon the question of engrOss-
ment, the ayes and noes were de-
manded and engrossment refused
by the following vote:
Ayes-Boyston, Howe, Mccarthy,
McGarvey, Satterwhite, Smith-6.
Noes-Beazell, Brown of Anna

Senators have shirked a vote on
this issue to have carried it, had
they voted with the minority.

The Assembly Committee on
Corporations met again Tuesday
evening to consider the bills pre-
pared by the Transportation Com
missioners. Swift said he had
been requested by several clergy
men to endeavor to secure an abro-
cation of the law prohibiting rail-
road companies from issuing free
passes to them. After some dis
cussion it was decided to relax the
law concerning free passes SO far as
it related to clergymen. An ar
rangement was made by which the
Transportation missiOners, in
conjunction with the Clerk of the
Committee, should prepare bill No.
l, as amended, in proper shape to
submit the same to the Assembly.
The committee then commenced
the consideration of bill No. 3, an
act for the presentation of unjust
discrimination and regulation of
freight and fares on railroads in
this State. No. 4, the alternative
for No. 3, was next read. Doyle
said that he had, after hearing the
comments of the committee on the
bill, prepared an amendment for
section 2 of the bill. Referring
to the matter, he said it was
idle to attempt to conceal
that in these bills the jury had ar
rived at point where it could not
agree, and intimated that a differ
ence of opinion existed on this Sec
ton. He said, however, that in
studying the principles of Smiths
bill he had become favorably inn
pressed Herewith, and that If the
committee decided in favor of either
bill, that all should work heartily
together to secure their passage.
Mott then moved that bills Nos. l,
2 and 8, as amended, be report
ed back favorably, and that
the House be requested to make
them the special order for
next Monday. Pending the adop-
tion Of this, the vote by which sec.
ton SO of bill No. l, was stricken
out was reconsidered, and the sec
ton was restored to the bill. Motifs
motion to recommend the first
three bills for passage was adopted,
and the committee adjourned, after
arranging that the Com missioners
and the Corporation Committee
Clerk prepare the bills as amended
and have them reprinted, the bills
then to be considered as the Com
missioners' bills.-Corr. S. +. Post.

danger that too frequently fail to be
recognized, even by generally care
full householders.> These are the
pipes leading from water closets,
sinks and fixed wash hand basins
to the house drain, and which often
serve as the inlets by which that
most deadly of poisons, sewer gas,
enters dwellings.
1t is popular error that the
"pipe trap if in good order and
filed with water, keeps out this
gas. Frequently aud under many
conditions the gas is forced by the
pressure of expansion, and in low
lying districts by tidal pressure in
the sewer, through this water bar
rier, and enters the bedroom, the
water closet or the kitchen,
without the least diminution
Of its poisonous properties. In
the house it accumulates rapidly
and engenders typhus fever, Dip
iberia and other forms of disease
that are classed among the most
Unless the house drain is itself
ventilated by an outlet shaft lead
ing directly upwarn through the
wall to the roof there is no safety
in the plumbers precautions
against the entrance of sewer gas.
1t does not matter very much
whether che poison enters the hall
way from water closet, the kitch-
en- from sink, or the bedroom
from a fixed wash hand basin, it
will attack the sleeper in his bed
room. Thousands of fatal cases of
disease that are believed to be the
result OF contagion are really due
to sewer gas poison brought direct
ly into bedrooms by the ways we
have suggested. Another dam
gerous gas that must be
guarded against in bedrooms is
that emanating from stoves.
During cold weather these stoves
are much used as heaters in sleep
ing apartments, and through igno-
rance of the principles of combus-
ton and ventilation the carbonic
acid gas given off fills the air with
its poison. It is hundred times
safer to sleep in cold bedroom
than in one heated by badly reg
ulated stove. Open fireplaces OBJ
viate all danger and serve as the
best means OF ventilation.

In a pamphlet containing the re-
marks of c. P. Huntington before
the Committee on Pacific Rail-
roads, we find that Col. Craw-
ford interjects a statement not
borne out by the facts. Mr.. Hunt
ington was dilating on the safety
of San Pedro and Sa MIA Monica as
harbors.
Mr.. Crawford-Well, 1 can prove
that two or three vessels went
ashore there [at San Pedro] the
year before last, and one Of them, l
think, had your ties on board.
Mr.. Huntington-Oh, yes; and
you can prove that vessels have
sometimes gone ashore off Barne-
gat and off Sandy Hook, New
York.
The vessels referred to were lying
In the otfing, and one of them
dragged her anchors and went
ashore at Anaheim Landing, but
was subsequently got off. This
proves nothing against San Pedro
harbor; it only proves that vessel
can meet with a disaster
on the coast of Southern
California as well as on any other
coast.

T txas- Pacific Katirona Resolutions.

The resolutions introduced in the
State Senate by Mr.. Satterwhite.
of San Bernardino, instructlng our
representatives in Congress to ia
vor the Stephens Texas-Pacific aid
bill, were called up on Monday.
Mr.. Satterwhite made very fo"ci-
BILE speech on the resolutions, and
Col. Smith, of this county, parlici-
pated in the debate:
Mr.. Smith argued that since GER
tain sections had been benefited by
legislation of the character asked,
other sections were entitled to
some similar consideration, and it
would not do to settle up accounts
until all sections had received their
just share. AS Democrats, the
people Of his district were opposed
to subsidies, but they wanted the
thing equaliZed and demanded
their just share. He admitted that
between two roads passing from
the same point, over the same
country, and doing business in the
same sections, there would be lit
tie reduction, if any; but two roads
independent of each other, indie
pendent in business, etc., would
compete, and the effect would be to
lower rates. Water communica-
tion also reduces freights and fares.
In the. East the establishment of
canals always has the effects of reg
ulating freights and fares, because
competition 'ensues, and here, If We
had competing railroads, the same
result would follow. A committee
of the United States Senate invest
igated, four or five years ago, the
problem of transportation between
the seaboard and the Mississippi
valley, and that committee reduced
it to two propositions; one was the
establishment of double track
freight road for the express purpose
of serving as regulator. Several
canals were built for the same pur-
pose. Two roads running between
the same point and over the same
country would never compete, and
there would be double the necessa-
ry expense but in the case Of two
roads, one terminating In San Fran
cisco and the other in San Diego,
ii would be different. The interests
would be diverse. ] Ie lthern
