Ir was young newspaper man of Phila- delphia, who recently wrote to Mark Twain, with whom he had more than passing acquaintance, asking him if he would look over IT anuscript he had written, and give a candid opinion as to it's worth. Here is the reply he received:

At Last.

Yesterday gang of laborers were put
to WORK on the frog across the Calf ornia
Southern track, which is all that pre-
vents the completion of the San Bernar-
dino motor road. 1t is anticipated that
the trains will be running on tie new
line by Thursday, and as the Southern
Pacific has been delaying putting on the
Cotton flyer" until the motor road was
in operation, the fast train will probably
make its first regular trip by the end Of
the week. Train Dispatcher Hamilton
received information yesterday that the
new time cards were en- route to this
city and the schedule will doubtless be
altered this week.

EDITORS HERALD-As taxpayer de-
sire that there shall be more light than
our people have yet had thrown upon
this West sewage proposition before the
city is saddled with 10000, and eventu-
ally perhaps million dollars, for what
looks very much like great job. Why
is it that the visiting members of the
Council have not made full and
satisfactory report upon the proposed
system? All have seen from them was
a bare recommendation that they ap-
proved of it, and it should be adopted
That was when they returned from the
picnic to Atlantic City. The next we
hear of it is that the bond of the West,
or Pacific, Drainage Company, shall be
be fixed at $50,000-a suspiciously
small bond when we consider that the
city is to pay bonus of that amount to
the company for the privilege of giving
it the right to the water of our entire
zanja system-for that is what it
will amount to in the end-besides pay
ing them $40, 200 year for two years,
and the Lord knows how much
longer, for deodorizing our sewer water
lp ID dIEO W D0 ICuhTkGu U1.iL
the picknickers thought a $4,000 bond
enough, whilst the members of the Coun.
Gil who are in the dark about this whole
business insisted on 100000.
There has been secresy, mystery and
darkness about the whole business. 1t
has not been openly or elaborately dis
cussed. nor has there been that close crit
icism of all or any of the features OF this
scheme which is usually given to ques-
tions of it's importance in the Council.
Is there not something to arrest attention
and arouse suspicion when a contract is
kept in the background whilst the mat.
ter OF fixing the sum of security is first
acted upon?
Is it not fact that at least four of the
Councilmen are cropping in the dark on
this subject and have not been openly
consulted?
And what does the average taxpayer
think of a scheme that is to bleed the
treasury presently Of $4,000 and even
tually perhaps OF Il million, when its out
side promoters pay the expenses of a
delegation OF tie City Council to go
East and return? Is this opulent city
not able to pay he expenses of its off,
cials to the Faet or anywhere else to
attend to its pu olic business? And let
me ask whether it is not in the nature OF
bribe for speculative corporation
to foot the bills of an expensive
junketing tour of city officials when
| it has scheme like this to
promote which these very officials are to
vote upon? If the constitution of our
State has prohibited State officials from
accepting passes upon the railroads for
the reason that such acceptance is held
70 be in the nature of bribe, how much
more so shall we look upon the action Of
this drainage corporation with reference to
the official excursion to Atlantic City Can
any Councilman who has accepted the
princely hospitality of the Pacific Drain
age Company be considered BY the peo-
pie oft his city as disinterested represen.
tative to decide between their interests
and the designs of the corporation which
has SO freely spent it's money up n him
There is an ancient and fsh-like
smell about this whole business which
even the Pacific Drainage Company can
not deodorize into sweetness.

ELSINORK COAL.
Mr.. e. p. Gray ON the Railroad
Situation.

Mr.. e. p. Gray ON the Railroad
Situation.
Mr.. E. P. Gray of Elsinore, assistant
manager of the Southern California Coal
and Clay Company, has been in the city
for several days, and will return to his
!. home this morning. He will ship to the
works of the California Sewer Pipe Com
pany next week 800 tons of clay from
Elsinore, and will make preparations to
keep the works here in full supply as
soon as they are running. Mr.. Gray
states that it is the intention to have
railroad In operation between the coal
and clay beds as soon as possible. The
only reason why this railroad had not
been constructed before was on account
of hitch in the right of way in
going thro ugh the tcwn of Elsinore. The
company had laid out route for itself,
and when it was found that this small
piece of property stood in the way, some
negotiations were entered into with the
Pomona and Elsinore road, which offered
its right-of-way and grade for just what
it had cost. When the price came to be
Mr.. Gray's company desired to pay, and
had been reached, some other parties
came into the field and offered to
build the road and take the right
of-way and grade. Negotiations were
still under way when Mr.. Gray left Elsi-
nore and he did not know how they had
resulted. As soon as the railroad is
built Mr.. Gray says that the coal mines
will be able to send considerable coal
here and thereby relieve the market of
its bare outlook. A railroad from Elsi-
more to Los Angeles in direct line past
the coal and clay beds is only question
of short time in Mr.. Gray's belief.

Fink, Francis and Taylor we're captured
at the Needles while breaking into car.
Unfortunately for them the car was
bonded, and on it's way to San Francisco
laden with tobacco on which the duty
had not yet been paid. The robbery OF a car
of bonded goods is an offense under the
United States laws, and the young men
we're brought to this city to be tried by
the United States Court. A warrant was
issued for them yesterday by United
States Commissioner Van Dyke, and
they will appear before him this morning
to have the time for their examination
set.

Flags Mutiiated at Compton.

Both Democrats and Republicans in
Compton have contributed to offer large
reward for the detection of the miscreant
who cut to pieces the American flag at
Compton on Monday night. The flag did
not belong to the Republican Club as
stated by yesterdays Times, but to the
citizens generally, and the Indignation
at the outrage ls not confined to any class
OF citizens. Another flag, belonging to
the United Order of Workmen was also
mutilated the same night, and this would
make it appear that whoever committed
these outrages is animated solely by ma
licious and destructive motives. It is to
be hoped that the scoundrel will be ap.
pretended.

]. p. Widney, Eli Fay, A. M. Hough, E,
w. Spencer, Mr.. Dorian, H. G. Wilmer,
Miss F. Dunham and Mrs. L. d. More,
have promulgated the following declara-
ton of principles:
FIRsT-wHAT 1T is NOT.
It is not and does not aim to become a
political party.
1t is not in affiliation or league with
any political party or organization.
It is not organized in any spirit of

1t is citizens movement looking to-
ward the best methods of meeting certain
grave evils which exist in our midst.
1t is organized without regard to party
lines. 1t is in earnest.
THIRD-wHAT IT IS SEEKING TO DO.
1t is seeking to unite the better ele-
ments of all parties in common effort
toward municipal reform.
1t is aiming to put clean, honest and
honorable men into public office.
1t is aiming to restrict, and as soon
as practicable to suppress the saloon, the
gambling-house, the opium den, and the
brothel.
To the carrying out of these ends it has
resolved:
First-To put into the field at the com.
ing municipal election to represent this

pended declaration, it prefers to place
such nominees upon its own ticket in
stead of making rival nomination..
Third-To enable it to do this, party
tickets will have to be in the field five
days before the date of election, as itt
own ticket must be before the public
whose scruting it seeks, at least that lont
before the date of voting.
DECLARATION.

means within my power to, in every pos
sible way restrict, and as soon as pos

An Unproved Charge.

q charge of illegal voting, came up be-
fore United States Commissioner Van

charged that he voted when he had not
been in the State long enough to entitle
