A great many people visit the Ray.
mond cut to see the big railroad outfit at
work. They use picks and shovels,
plows, hand and wheel scrspers, and
other instruments of warfare, and the
boys are moving dirt at the rate of ten
yards minute.-[Pasadena Union.
1t is lamentable fact that there is NO
hotel open in Pasadena where visitors
can find accomodations. Parties who de-
sire to come through the city to visit
Santa Anita and the valley to the east
ward, make arrangements to lunch at
Sierra Madre Villa Pasadena Union.
There are about fifteen carpenters at
work on the Johnston Memorial Church
at Garvanza, and a large number of
masons. 1t is hoped that services may
be held there in about two weeks. The
edifce, though it will have seating
capacity of less than 200, will cost about
$40, ,000.-[Pasadena Star.
The city water works stands about

committee went to the city this week to

They have returned and will report the

Baldwin's grain is being threshed this
week. Mr.. Baldwin says it is the finest
grain without any exception that he has
seen this season. 1t is bright and heavy,
going from ITO 10 116 pounds to the sack.
South Riverside can raise barley that
can't be beat by any other section. and
next year the acreage will be very large,
as the Land Company is giving the land
rent free to responsible parties who will
agree to plow and SOW grain.-[South
Riverside Bee.
From Ed. Ayers, who has done a
heavy threshing business, this season,
we learn that the barley OF tue county
is all threshed, or will be finished this
week. He says the crop, compared with
that of last year, according to his judg-
ment, is fully two-thirds. The quality
does not average as we'll as last year,
yet in some instances it is even better.
MIR. Ayers will turn his threshing force
on the bean crop in about ten days.

For week past the agents of the San
Gabriel Valley Rapid Transit road have
been quietly buying up right OF way on
the east side of the Santa Fe and parallel
to the latter. Considerable headway has
been made, some of the property holders
donating their land. Nothing has been
said as it was thought to be to the best
interest of all concerned to say little
about it, but as the fact is now quite
generally known, there can be no reason
against its publication. The destination
of the road is said to be Mount Wilson
via the geared tramway.-[Pasadena

Early this morning, as the driver Of
one OF the meat wagons, which brings
the daily supply from the slaughter
houses, was descending into the Arroyo
Seco at Garvanza, the team became fright
ened and ran away, taking the wagon
down the steep bank, overturning it, and
scattering the meat all over the ground.
The outfit was finally gotten together and
the meat reloaded, and the driver, who
was quite severely bruised, reached Pas
adena all right, but looking somewhat
the worse for wear. His wagon was
'mended" with two-by-fours, pieces of
rope and wire, and was quite an ingeni-
ous AFFAIR." Pasadena Union.
In conversation the other day with q
prominent official of the Southern Pacific
railway, he said to an Outlook reporter
that their road had sold the preceding
Sunday 1000 tickets to Santa Monica,
while only 400 had been disposed of to
os,.ku ,nt - -
Beach, San Pedro and Catalina island.
Had the trains been running to Redondo
also, the sale would not have exceeded
double the number, which would make
800-leaving the difference as five to one
in favor of Santa Monica above all the
other seaside places combined. And yet
two of the four daily journals of Los
Angeles are advocating the emptyiDg OF
the city's sewage into the city's favorite
resort and bathing place. Santa Monica

The San Diego Flume Company pro-
posed last night to the Water Committees
of the Council to pipe the city and rent
the pipes to the city at per cent of their
cost, and supply any quantity of water
up to 5000, 900 at 10 cents per thousand
for the first 1,50O, 900 gallons, 9 cents for
next 500, 900 gallons, cents for next
SOC, 900 and Z cents for next 100000, an
average of 81 cents per Thousand, pro-
yided the whole 100000 gallons are
used. For all over 8 3,0OO, 900 the price to
be cents per thousand gallons. This
proposition, like all that have been or
shall be made to the city, should be care
fully investigated and dealt with on its
merits. There are many important
points to be considered and conclusion
cannot be jumped at in regard to any
proposition.-[San Diego Union.
The people who live below the piped
artesian water in Pomona do not fully
appreciate the condition that Ontario
and all North Pomona find themselves
in where domestic water is concerned.
The idea that they must use water for
cooking and drinking that has been used
for bathing, that kitchen slops, stable
cleanings, and the personal filth OF hun
dreds of campers have been intermingled
with, is nauseating to disagreesole de.
gree. and good taste and good heal tn de-
msnds change. Even though this is
stopped, and none but decent and we'll
bred people camp in the cafion, there will
come the days of rains, and all the nasti-
ness of the camp grounds will come
down upon them anyway. There is but
two ways to salvation: either the cafion
must be fenced up 80 as to bar out all, or
the pipe lines must be extended to the
falls.-[Pomona Register.
