The principal shipping business

inland distance of 1900 feet, with
a depth OF IL to % IL feet, and a

Alamitos Bay vigorously.
The representatives Of two trans
continental and three local railroads
are now negotiating for trackage,
water front and terminal facilities at
Aamitos Bay.
Three heavy lumber dealers and a

tensive mines are seeking wharves

rapid improvement and enhancement
in values ever made on the Ameri-
can Continent will be at Alamitos
Bay in the next II months.

improvements and making business
for the railroad, the Directors of the
Los Angeles and Ocean Railway
have authorized the Secretary, ]. w.

IN THE TOWN OF GOSHEN.
This town, now for the first time offered
to the public in building lots, is undoubt-
sas the ssn s1 wS i. wheh the
resources has ever offered the investor.
SITUATION.
Goshen Is in the heart of the valley on the
main line of the s. P. K R. just midway be-
tween San Francisco and Los Angeles, and
it Is also the only center of the. Cross Rail-
on the west to Visalia on the east. This cross
line is now being pushed to the great coal
field of Robins and Rawlins on the west, and
on the east will tap the inexhaustible lumber
belt of the Sierras. 1t is beside, the center
Of numerous prospective lines and must un-
doubtedly become the great traffic depot of
the Valley.
Soil and Agricultural Advantages.
Around Goshen are 100, 900 acres of the
finest agricultural land in the State-Quite
as rich and productive land as that around
Fresno, which has sprung from hamlet to
city OF 10000 Inhabitants in three years.
This soil is now bearing all the fruits and
products of California in abundance wher
ever tested.
Goshen is Is miles from Tulare Lake, and
lying as it does between it and the Sierras,
the .questi m of water supply can never pre-.
sent any difficulty, as already att. sted by the
abundance of irrigating bitches all around,
and the superabundance of surface water
and artesian wells.
CLIMATE.
Goshen has undoubtedly the best climate
in the San Joaquin Valley-perfectly free
| days are delightfully."- warm the nights are
| nights are balmy and cool.
Goshen affords probably the best field in
all California for great fruit-canning and
to Watsonville as location for an extensive
beet-sugar factory. such as is being there
erected by Spreckels & Sons:

That variety of the human species
which rests its claim to consideration
mainly upon dress and affectation. has
had during the last half century four
slang designations, two of which are
obsolete. 1t has been ''buck." a
dandy" '.swell'' and dude" The
last mentioned epithet still continues
to mark the distinction between the
man who relies on his tailor to make
him acceptable to society and the more
sensible portion of the race.
just now The ramblers among words
are trying to get at the origin of
dandy" but as words" in the
language of Dean Trench, ''often ride
very slackly at anchor on their etymo-
logies." they find it difficult to trace
this once familiar appellation to ITS
source. 1t seems, however, to have
sprung from Jack-a-dandy. a common
name for u dashing. lively fellow, as
far back rs 1852. There was nothing
blithe or debonair about the dandy"

After all was ready the two German
students who were to fight stood up.
looking rather nervous. 1 thought; the
other students crowded around in q
circle and the seconds took their
places. Then the two shook hands,

with what rapidity they rained the
blows down on each others heads.
After twenty blows or so had been ex.

forth from an ugly cut in the head Of
one. some two inches long. The sec
onds struck up the swords. and there
was a slight pause while the wound
was examined. Then they went at il
again. 1t was tremendous exercise,
and soon they began to show the eff
fects of it. Still they struck with as
much force and spirit as at first and
soon second cash in the cheek Of the
blue-capped student was visible. BIZ
this time his whole face was crimson
with blood. which slowly trickled
down. literally saturating the front Of
his shirt. l noticed that during the
whole duel there was no cheering on
the part of the students. nor did they
give any encouragement but q perfect
stiffness reigned. broken only by the
clashing of the weapons. Every few
minutes they stopped for sword to

they were allowed to sit down for a
short rest. And 50 they slashed away
at each other until the time was mp.
