The Inspection Made By the Board
Yesterday.

The Inspection Made By the BOARD
Yesterday.
The Board OF Public Works yesterday
went on its tour of investigation to in
quire into the desires of the people who
sent petitions to the Council on Monday
last. The first place visited was the
vicinity of Ninth and Whittier streets,
where it is desired to provide some
means for the escape of the storm water.
1t was informally decided to recommend
that culverts be constructed 30 as to
carry the water across the street and
into its natural cours se.
AT the last meeting of the Council Mr..
Summerland moved that proceedings be
taken to pave Alameda and San Fer
nando streets, between San Francisco
and Ann streets. The board inspected
this vicinity and found that the rains
make the streets almost impossible. It
Is probable, therefore, that the recon-
mendation will be in favor of paving.
The proposition to open Vignes street,
between Also and Railroad, was con-
sidered and will be the subject of action
today.
The floor Of the Aliso-street bridge was
inspected, and was found to need repairs
in several places.
Several places on Louisiana avenue
were found to be in need of culverts,
which will probably be ordered.
The arroyo crossing Virginis avenue
was investigated, and it was found that q
culvert was needed.

IL COnfrOnts a Traveller Near
Altadena.

II COnfrOhts Traveller Near
Altadena.
Mr.. Henry Elms, of Altadena, was in
the city yesterday and related to mum.
Der of friends q rather alarming expert.
ence he had while going home last Tues
day evening. Mr.. Elms's home is near
the base of the mountains, and on the
evening mentioned, after taking supper
with friend residing on Marengo ave.
nue., Pasadena, he started to walk to his
place. About o'clock he reached the
crossing of the Altadena railroad. and
feeling rather tired he sat down for few
minutes on the seat placed by the way.
side for passengers. Suddenly he heard
rattling among the leaves on the
ground opposite him, and from an orange
orchard on the other side of the track
trotted ont large animal and confronted
him. Mr.. Elms has been a resident of
the country adjacent to the mountains
for many years, and he Immediately rec
ognized the animal by it's long, cat.like
body, as California lion. MIR. Elms
says the glaring eyeballs in the DARK
made his hair stand up, but he had pres.
ence of mind enough to advance toward
the creature, shouting and waving his
satchel. The lion paused for an instant
as if uncertain whether to make a snrin .
or run, and Mr.. Elms renewed his dam.
onstrations vigorously. Finally the beast
turned and slowly walked off in the
direction of the mountains, much to the
relief of the other member of this chancs
meeting. The California lion, when
grown, measures five or six feet from tin
of nose to end OF tail, and used to be verv
common in this district, but Mr.. Elms
says that this one is the first he has seen
for number of years.

HOW TO HELP THE CANAL.
Mr.. HemphIII Willing to Give Ten Per Cent
of n Years EarninEs-He Recognizes

MIR. HemphIIl Willing to Give Ten Per Cent
of Years Earnings-He Recognizes
the Importance.
The canal project has perhaps no warmer or
more enthusiastic advocate in the city than Mr.,
James A Hemphill, OF Mcintosh, HemphiII d
Co., and the views which he expressed yester-
day In conversation with DISPATCH reporter
coming as they do from a man of his good
sense, clear judgment and high commercial
standing carry with them a weight which well
merits the consideration of capitalists, bust
ness men, and all who have Pittsburg's pros
per1ty at heart. The advantages which would
accrue directly to Pittsburg from this canal
are obvious and innumerable. and. in fact, the
nelghborlng counties and the towns along its
from It.
Said Mr.. Hemphill yesterday: 'As to the
choice OF the two proposed routes am not suf.
nciently familiar with the plans to express an
opinion as TO which claims the ADVANTAGE We
should not be selfish in the matter but let
Johnstown also reap the advantage. The COM
pletlon OF that canal would make PitJsburg the
cheapest manufacturing center in the United
States, and lew years time would witness an
impetus in business here and a CORRESPONDING
growth IN the number and scale of Importance
IN various Industries which would outstriD the
record Of any city in the country.
1t would be handsome investment for our
manufacturers to subscribe 10 per cent of one
years income to secure the building of this
canal It would, for instance, pay the Brunot
Island syndicate to subscribe 10 per cent on
even their investment OF S20OOO0 and if the
plan were being carried into execution. / would
unhesltatingly advocate, if necessary. the
policy of such action. AS regards the general
ready support which would be offered by our
business men, am little doubtful, because
many of them would not perhaps at first grasp
the advantages which the plan promised and
would insure. though am of the opinion that
an active, intelligent and general canvass would
develop the fact that a very general interest in
the matter exists, tangible proof of which
would not be lacking in the way of funds when
the project was once set on foot.
''Of course the aid of the national Govern
ment and the State would be needed, and could
doubtless, by persistent and well-directed
effort be obtained; this assured, the ground
worK is laid, and success, l think, would be
assured"

THE COAL TRADE VERY SLACK.
Prices Are Low and May Go LUwer-sOmt
Operators May Weaken.


Operators May Weaken.
Captain Joseph Walton, of Walton & Co.,
who has just returned from Louisville and
Southern points, said yesterday that the out
look in the coal trade was very poor. He
saws that the Southern markets are amply
stocked, and, in his opinion, have enough
coal on hand 10 last into the spring. Prices
were not alone low, but indications pointed
to still lower prices ruling in the immediate
future,
81 sold forty barges of Fourth pool coal, ("
continued the big coal operator, sat cents
and sixty days. and expect to continue sell
ing at such figures as long as there are
others in the market. There is no sale for
Second and Third pool coal. The Pittsburg
and Southern Coal Company had an oppOr-
tunity of making some money by its joint
stock operations. 1t has fine wharfage and
150 barges lying idle at Southern points,
control of the market in q certain degree,
and operated on business principles, but all
these advantages are now lost to those con-
cerned in it through petty jealousies crop
ping up. can't say how we intend mining
coal at cents, but expect we will remain
in the fight as long as some of the boys"
II is an open secret In river circles that
the present cut-throst policy in vogue in the
trade must result in some of the weaker
firms going to the wall. While everyone
admits that the markets will not admit of
the present mining rates prevailing, one
operator will not remain idle while others
are working, though it may be working at
q loss.
