Art Loan Exhib,tion.

Active preparations have been in
progress during the past few weeks fs,
q substantial benefit to the Eagle Corps
in the way of an Art Loan Exhibition
and Fair to be held at their New Armo-
ry from the 22d to the 9th of this
month, Most of the leading artists oil
this city have been consulted and have
so warmly interested themselves in the
matter that splended exhibition oi
paintings is fully assured, and to which
all the artists are invited to contribute,
While this will be the principal feature
of the enterprise, many other attrac.
tions will be provided. A large and
most interesting exhibit of curiosities
has been collected, which will also be
placed on exhibition. The Eagle Corps
band will be in attendance and an excel.
lent and varied musical programme rem
dered each evening. A lunch will be
served each day by the ladies from II
until o'clock. The spacious armory is
admirably adapted to thepurpose, and 9
pleasant and profitable entertainment
may be safely assured to all who attend
The purpose Of the enterprise is to raise
funds to assist the members OF the Eagle
Corps in defraying their necessarily
heavy expenses incurred in maintaining
their organization, and as the object is {
most worthy and commendable one, W,
are confident our citizens will cheerfully
respond to their efforts and extend tC
them that liberal patronage which theil
labors and enterprise 30 Justly deserve.

Cotton Rooming.

A morning ride to Cotton on the Z
o'clock California Southern train, with
Sam Tuttle as master of ceremonies, is
delicious indeed. The orchards of the
valley and the plains and hills are all
covered with flowers glistening with the
morning dew. The grand old noun
tains, in their white robes OF driven
snow. look down with patronizing air
upon the green fields and blushing or
chards, where the lark and liunet arc
pouring out their matin songs. Here
and there new made cloud climbs up
the mountain side to span cafion,
while the new risen sun transtig-
ures the bridge of vapor into an
for half hundred miles these scenes
appear and change and reappear in
ravishing beauty, wrought out by the
early sunbeams.
At Cotton the scene changes, the pee-
Pile are too busy to look at the grain
fields and orchards and meadows and
mountains. They are building a city,
and cannot tarry. Adventurous Ange
lefos are there, and the people of other
cities and countries. The hotels ure
crowded and the shopk keepers are busy.
The surveyor is measuring lines and
angles, the graders are leveling the
sites for buildings, the sound Of
the hammer, the saw and the
trowel are all abroad. New build
ings are springing up on every hand,
to be occupied by tenants as soon as
completed The warehouses are crowded
with merchandise and plans are laid for
their enlargement. Another planning
mill and the Russ lumber yard will have
to come in speedily to supply the build
ing materials. The great perpetual
lime kilns glow day and night with
doubled capacity through all the year to
supply the demand for lime and the brick
maker is weary in trying to supply the
demand for his product.
School-houses. depots. churches,
stores, dwellings are springing up on
every side. Electric light generated
by water power will soon illumine
the thronging trains that jostle and
roar through all the night. From the
silver fields on the desert the trains
burst through the Sierra Madre to meet
at this center the great, sturdy trains
from the Crescent City, the lighter
trains from the bay of San Diego and
the heavily loaded trains from the City
of the Angels. The Cotton Land and
Water Company, under the leadership
of Colonel A. B. Hotchkiss, is directing
this energetic movement with tireless
hands, and the sound of Improvement is
music to their ears, while the sight OK
ceeds that of a spectacular drama.
Fair Colion, with opulent soil, lus-
cious fruits and healthful climate, go on
in the way of success

aud IL would attract attention any
where in the world as being the produc
tion of master hand and an exemplitica-
tion:of true art. 1t is generally believed
that an artist cannot produce as good
portrait from a photograph as from a
life sitting, but MIR. jerks has produced
splendid picture OF the father OF MIR.

which is nearly equal to some of his
other portraits and is q good example
Of the artists inherent talent A
picture Of Sheriff George e. Gard is
finely executed and a more natural like

other finished pictures the reporter also
noticed those of Mrs. X. Schieffelin, Mr..

There are several fine pieces of art

were noticed portraits OF Mrs. j. e. Platter,

Mr.. jerks has won a host OF admirers
for his inimitable work in this city, and
there are yet several prominent citizens
who will secure sittings for these fine
pictures, and art will take another step
forward by the presence OF great artist
in our midst who will leave so many
souvenirs of his work with us. Mr.. jerks
may be found at his studio, at
