land.

lana.
As number of diners were partaking
of some of Jerry Illich's dainties in one
of the parlors last night the conversation
drifted, as is usual at these times, to pol
itics. After disposing of the question as
to who would hang Anschlag, one gentle
man stating that he had heard on good
authority that Sheriff Kays would depu-
tie Officer Bosqui to carry out the SEN
tence, the question turned on to who
would be the next Sheriff. Tom Rowan
had several supporters, but one gentle
man present was very enthusiastic about
Martin Aguirre's prospects. Finally
Aguirre's champion offered to bet 500
in gold coin on his favorite and pail Of
silence fell over the party as no
one was in position to accept
the challenge. Again and again the
gentleman repeated the offer and while
he was still engaged in this pursuit
party consisting Of Ygnacio Bilderrain,
George Hermann and r. Dominguez, en-
tered the room. Some one told Mr..
Bilderrain what was going on and he
Immediately pulled out his pocket book
and offered to take the bet. The
challenger however was silent, as Mr..
Bilderrain pulled out a twenty dollar
gold piece and proceeded to put it up as
forfeit, the balance to be produced in
ten minutes.
"And 1 will bet 800 that Cleveland is
elected" said Mr.. Hermann.
81 will do better than that" said Mr..
Bilderrain, 81 will bet 81 900 that Har-
rison is defeated and give $40 to the man
who takes the bet"
There was no response and the meet
ing broke up.

SECOND STREET.
The Residents Anxious to Open 1,

The Residents Anxious to Open IL
up to the River.
For some time past the opening up OF
Second street to the the river has agitated
residents in that district who are anxious
to have their main thoroughfare put in
condition before the winter excursionists
arrive. A stumbling block has presented
itself in the Grange lodging-house on
Los Angeles street, which occupies a
position exactly in the centre of the
survey of the street. Mr.. M. L.
Wicks, who owns considerable prop
erty on the line of the street,
offered to deed right of way to the city,
but on being requested to turn over the
legal documents declines to do so until
the Grange house is removed. The resi-
dents along the route are anxious that
this matter shall be attended to at once,
and look for the City Council to intervene
and remove the blockade.

COal.bunkers.
During the past six months the South
ern Pacific has had fleet OF coal.ships
constantly discharging cargo at San
Pedro. The fuel for the road, as far
south as Gila Bend and as far north as
Sumner, is supplied from this division,
and coal-trains have been on the road
nearly all the time filling up the bunkers.
A good deal of the cal has
come from Australia, some from
British Columbia but most from England.
Coal is exclusively used for firing on the
California divisions except in the Sierras,
where the company has unlimited wood
resources. 1t is estimated that about ten
months supply is now on hand, which
is distributed at the coaling stations as
follows: Los Angeles, 47,25O; Indio,
$4,000; Wilmington, 1000; San Pedro,
1000; Cotton, 5000; Mojave, $1,000
Sumner, $4,000; San Fernando, 5000;

THE WOLFSKILL TRACT.
1t Will be Opened by the End oi
the Year.

IL Will De OpencO Dy thC A1'AsA w..
the Year.
There is no doubt now but that the
Wolfskill depot will be opened by the
end OF the year. The controversy regard
ing the right of way for the Santa Monica
road has been settled satisfactorily and
graders will be at once put to work on the
new route. The San Pedro street tracks
are to be torn up and the original inten-
ton was to have the Santa Monica line
connect with Alameda street by leaving
San Pedro street at the Briswalter estate
and crossing that property at the Hooper,
Harmon and Vaughan places. A contro-
versy, however, arose over this and it
ended in the Southern Pacific obtaining
a new line. The road from Santa Monica
will now run up San Pedro street
to point about half way between
Washington and Vejar streets. Here it
will turn into what was formerly known
as the Clement place, but which is now
occupied by John Goldsworthy and
Kronis, the fruit man. 1t will then run
through about the center of the Kaspar
Cohn orchard and across Wolfskill street
into the Hafen twenty-one acres of vine
yard, and thence through Childs & He'll
mans thirty-four acre tract to Alameda
street. AS soon as this piece of road is
completed the Wolfskill depot will be
opened for business. The right of way over
the Laguna Ranch to Ell Monte by which
the overland travel will enter and leave
the town has not yet been obtained, but
this service will be operated by Y
which runs from Mission street to the
junction of North Main and Alameda
streets. A train arriving from the East
will therefore swing around Naud's ware
house and 60 on to the Wolfskill depot
without calling at San Fernando street.
Going northward, however, trains will
stop at the present main depot for pas
sengerS.

provements, including the pneumatic all
pressure, by which hot and cold water is
supplied in the toilet rooms. At 10 P.
