On the protest against the proposed
grading of Fourth street, between Wall

mend that the protest be denied.
On the petition of the Elysian-park

walk on New High (west side), between
Sonora and Marchessault, one loot
wider.
In regard to the grade of Providence
street, between Main and Orange, which
was vetoed by the mayor, it was recon-
mended that the ordinance be passed.
The board recommends that the bid
of ]. S. Flaigler for grading Twenty

SAN GABRIEL VALLEY.
News Notes From San Gabriel, Savan
nah and Monte.

Correspondence of the HERALD
Democrats of this precinct and every
honest man with whom your cores
pondent has conversed about the mat
ter, sympathize with the HERALD in its
efforts to sift the clean from the unclean,
and glory in its spunk. Good company,
good morals, honor is safe and our sue
cess almost assured.
The inhabitants hereabouts say Ed.
Gibson has lived away from them so
long he has almost lost the flavor of the
true Monteite, but they want him for
sheriff all the same.
A good Sunday school is organized at
Savannah. 1t is we'll attended and profit
ably enjoyed. Mr.. G.. Steele is the su-
perintendent.
The magnificent young orchards, both
the citrus and the deciduous, on the San
Bernardino road, on the ranch of L. J.
Rose at Savannah, ARE thriving and grow
ing like magic; POGO tempo cannery.
Mr.. Mobiles two-story frame building
on Mission and San Bernardino roads, at
Savannah, modelled after the plan of one
of his former houses in Boston, Mass,
is furnished, and the family will move
in it this week. The rooms are capacious,
highly finished, and elegantly furnished.
The grounds, which a short time since
were barren, now blossom and bloom
with citrus trees and floral life, inter-
spersed with grassy walks and long,
thrifty-growing cypress hedge in front.
The rear, some eighty acres, will be re-
served for the present for pasture and
the production of grain.
Mr.. Johnson's charming place and
grounds, lately improved, opposite Mr..
Mobiles, would compare favorably with
~ny OF Southern California's most beau
tiful villas.
Mr.. Felt is on the eve of disposing of
a part of his fine ranch. The country of
Savannah is indeed improving.
Col. E. Jones was chosen trustee at
the last election at San Gabriel by the
largest vote ever cast for any trustee in
this district.
One of the most pleasant events of the
season, as society notes would echo it.,
occurred last Saturday. 1t was the re-
turn of Father Joaquin to his old parish
of San Gabriel. The bells of the old
church pealed out delightful welcomes
and men, women and children We'd with
each other in doing honor to the return
of their revered pastor. Father Joaquin
had been on an extended European tour
.of some three years, taken on account of
his health, and now returns physically
greatly improved.
Miss Lulu Richards is spending hel
vacation with Mrs. Peter Richards, Of

All Democrats are glad to see the

imittee. L. A. ).

SIGNS AND oMESs.

There Was dramatic scene In the lower
house OF the louisiana legislature on the
10Th instant Shattuck. the leader of the
lottery forces, who had in charge the bill
for selling the state to the lottery people,
had just closed long and bitter harangue
In favor OF the measure, and In the very
moment that hs uttered the closing words
of hts speech the state house was struck by
lightning and the electric lights extn-
gulshed. A few hours earlier represen-
ta:iye from Orleans, named Roier, who at
first opposed the lottery scheme but lat
terly has been claimed by both sides, was
stricken with paralysis In his seat and had
TO be removed to his home. perhaps in q
dying condition. In old Rome such ONE ms
would have had their effec; on the average
legislator. Blu. Mr.. Joseph Stamant. a
member from Ascension parish, proceeded
To take a $1,000 bride from the lottery
people, or at least was arrested on charge
of doing 50. probably on the theory that
lightning Il not likely to strike twice In the
same place. Bribery seems 10 be in the
air. From Canada, Maine, Massachusetts,,
OHIO and Louisiana come shocking stories
OF its prevalence. TO say nothing of the
notorious business done in Dakota few
weeks ago.
