SAN CLEMENTE.
THE SHEEP MEN HAVE NO LEASE
TO THE ISLAND.
A San Diego County Surveyor Enthuses
Over the Place-Land as Good as Found
Anywhere-The Climate Perfect.

Ex-Supervisor Oscar Macy was seen
by HERALD reporter yesterday and
asked about San Clemente island. He
stated that the Wool Growers company
in which he was interested had no claim
to the island beyond that of using it as
pasture. He did not think, however,
that people would care to settle on it to
any great extent. The San Diegan, of
Monday, contains the following matter
apropos:
A good deal of interest is just now be-
ing manifested in San Clemente island,
which lies forty miles off the coast due
west from Del Mar. 1t has been sup
posed by most people that the island
was personal property through the
operation of a Mexican land grant, but
a search of the records show that it is
ordinary government land, and as open
to entry by homesteaders as any other
unsurveyed government land. The re-
suit of this discovery is that number
of people from Los Angeles have gone
"west" to San Clemente and staked out
homestead claims. There is also talk
here OF organizing party for the same
purpose.
ing as United States deputy surveyor,
went to San Clemente with force of
men and run lines for three light house
reservations and for road to connect
them all. The island lays somewhat in
the form of pyramid, the north end
tapering to quite narrow point, and the
south end or base being broader. A light
house reservation was staked off at the
two corners of the base or south end,
and at the north end, called Schubert's
harbor.
Mr.. Allen said today his surveys
showed the island to be 20 miles long
and from to 6 miles wide. Portions
of it are plenty high enough to keep
people out of the mud, the altitude in
places reaching 1900 feet. The shore
next to San Diego is almost wall, the
bluffs rising from the water at an angle
of 45 feet up to about the highest ele-
vation of the island. From the crest of
this bluff the land slopes gently to the
watesr' edge on the west.
The southern third of the island is
broken and full of cafions, OF value only
as reservoirs for water caught by winter
rains. The northern two-thirds is fairly
level, the slope being to the west and
north. At the extreme noathern end
the land is sandy, but the middle belt is
of Adobe foundation, 'and when 1 was
there" said Surveyor Allen, "was COW
cred with fileria two feet high. There
are, in fact" he said, thousands of
acres of as good land there as there is
anywhere in the world, and the climate,
tempered by the ocean, is perfect"
Up to a short time ago it was sup
posed no fresh water could be obtained
except that which was caught in the
cafions, but a well was then dug and
reasonably good water was found. The
absence of water is the chief obstacle to
residence and cultivation of the soil,
however.
Tom Gallagher has for twenty years
been the sole occupant of the land,
which has been used as a free sheep
pasture by the San Clemente Wool
Growers association.
Indian mounds and relics found there
make the place of historic interest.

HANCHETTE'S DOUBLE.
A LOS ANGELES MAN WHO SAW
HIM IN SAN FRANCISCO.
at Breakfast-Exactly the Same as
the Missing Man Except in His Walk.

Mr.. Ralph Hoyt, of this city, said to
HERALD representative yesterday /:
1.-THE report from San Francisco about
Hanchette's double brings to my mind an
incident that occurred one day while
was in San Francisco last spring. 1
was sitting at breakfast table in De-
mett's coffee house, ON Market street,
when, without my having noticed him
as he came in, well-dressed gentleman
was seen to occupy chair at the same
table, and directly opposite me. His ap-
pearance startled me and 1 almost ex-
claimed, 'Hel1o, Hanchette; )" but at
once concluded to wait moment and
see if the gentleman would recognize
me. To my surprise he did not appear
to notice me in any special manner.
We both ate our breakfasts in silence
but | scanned his face and figure closely
all the while. My thought was That
is certainly the missing Hanchette or
his apparition, and he eats too heartily
for mere spookl He was just about
Hanchette's size and complexion; his
hair, forehead, whiskers, moustache-
every feature and detail-appeared to
stamp MIN as dancneCto.
We left the table simultaneously, he
in the lead. I had resolved to follow
him until all doubt as to his identity
could in some way be removed. By the
time we reached the restaurant pay
counter, however, l was convinced of
my mistake. The mans walk showed
me he was not H. J. Hanchette, the
missing secretary of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce. Everybody
acquainted with Hanchette knows what
peculiar gait he had. 1t was wholly
unlike that of any other man 1 ever
saw. My breakfast table companion
could not walk like Hanchette, how
ever, much as he looked like him and so
Ilfollowed him no farther.
presume he is the same man men
toned in the HERALD's article of yes
terday. His resemblance to Hanchette
is certainly remarkable, and it is not
surprising that even the secretary's wife
and children were for a few moments
greatly excited when they saw this
counterpart of their husband and
father"

THE ROUTE OF THE SEWER TO
THE SEA.
Mr.. Dan Freeman Declines to Give a
Right of Way-The Proper Course for
the Council to Pursue-Take the Sewer
Where the Water is Wanted.

The matter of locating the outfall
sewer is not going to be easily arrived at,
for Mr.. Dan Freeman and about seventy
other land owners at and about Ingle
wood are arranging to fight the route.
approved by the council to the bitter
end. The council seem to have entirely
ignored a route, by adopting which a
good income could be had from the sale
of sewer water, and to have decided on
a line which will only result in expen-
sive litigation.
A committee of the council called on
Mr.. Freeman yesterday morning, and
asked him for right OF way, which was
firmly refused. A HERALD reporter saw
the owner of the Centinela, and asked
him what offer the committee had
made. He replied;
'They made no proposition, but sim
ply stated that they wanted me to grant
them a right of way through my prop
erty, "a distance of over seven miles),
for the sewer. They have surveyed a
line through my orchard, and through
the town of Inglewood, and over or in
front of the lands of more than seventy
owners. Every one of these land own
ers, as far as | know, is opposed to the
sewer crossing or going in front of his
land, | do not want the water, as we
can grow all sorts OF fruit excepting
oranges, without irrigation; and if any
body south OF me wanted the water it
would have to be piped from the main
sewer in branch lines for two miles
across my lands lying south of the pro-
posed sewer. There would have to be
six or seven of these branch lines, max
ing twelve or fourteen miles of extra
piping and extra right of way. was told
this morning that Judge Silent had Of
fered the city $l50,000 cash and the right
of way if they would carry the sewer
to his land three miles south of mine,
and that he offered to pay for the water
used on his land. Now the extra piping
that would be necessary to run several
branch lines across my property would
be three times as much as the extra

THE CHICAGO EXHIBIT.
Some Points as to What is Needed
to Increase its Effect.

Some Points as to What is Needed
to Increase it's Effect.
A Southern Californian who has Just
returned from Chicago furnishes the
HERALD with the following statement
regarding the permanent exhibit:
San Diego county has sent only three
boxes of lemons, a box of oranges and
few potatoes and one squash, for four
months. San Diego, with the exception
of package or two of the Great South
west, the Perris Land company and the
Coronado Beach company, sends no lit
erature.
San Bernardino has more literature
than all the other counties put together,
much of which was turned over to Mr..
Truman by the orange carnival, includ-
ing Ontario, Redlands and Rialto, read
ing matter. 1t has sent no contribu-
ton, however, except two boxes, for
four months.
Orange county sends something once
or twice or more times week, and has
some good reading matter. Orange
county sends more fruits and vegetables
than all the other counties.
Los Angeles contributes something
attractive every once in a while, and
has fair amount of reading matter.
Truman buys something most every
week and labels it either from San
Diego or San Bernardino county.
The general display from all four of
the counties is good and remarkably
we'll preserved and freshly labeled as
occasion requires. Each county should
fO iOht nf
new dried fruits and raisins, as that of
last year is nearly all wormy. A peck
or two of corn, wheat and barley should
place of last years. All of these would
preserves, jams and jellies all look well,
and SO do the wines, which are kept in
cases that are never opened. Each
county should exert itself in sending its
vegetables during the next three
months, and each should renew it's
honey. The marble and oil and olives
and guavas from Frank KimbalI are con-
spicuously displayed, and so is the as
phaltum and bituminous rock from Los
Angeles county and five cases of miscel-
laneous minerals from South Riverside
and everything that can be mentioned
The exhibit never looked so we'll as at
present, as have seen it a number of
times. There is no very big display of
fresh fruits at present, except table full
of lemons and oranges from San Diego
county. There is bewildering exhibit
of big vegetables, squashes, potatoes,
beets, onions, etc., from Orange county
sent by M. j. Bundy once or twice
a week. Los Angeles makes the
next best showing in vegetables. The
hall is exceedingly clean and attractive,
and everything is arranged artistically
and to advantage. All is indiscrimin-
ately placed, however, so that one
county may not loom up over another.
This is good idea. Go where you will,
and you will see articles from each
county alongside each other.
The walnuts in frame and the wal
nuts, almonds and peanuts in pyramid
from Orange county, look extremely
well. There is honey from all the coun-
ties, but that from San Diego county
looks the best. A twenty pound
cantelope came in good order from San
Diego just as / was about to leave. 1t
arrived in good order and will be very
attractive.

pipe required to go direct to Judge ST.
lent's land, instead of by the Inglewood
route; and as there is no town to run
through, nor seventy protesting land
owners on this route, as is the case on
the Inglewood route, it would be far less
expensive in the end. The city council
should run the sewer where the water is
needed, so that they can get revenue
from its use, and not try to force it
through a town and a community
where they will have to fight for every
inch of the right Of way, and where
they can get no revenue from the use of
the water.

On Sunday Miss Rillie Lee, who lives
on First street, Boyle Heights, expected
to be Mrs. Rillie Vaughn the next
morning. The wedding was set for IL
O'Clock Monday, but at the appointed
hour the bridegroom had failed to APP
pear. The bride, a very pretty brunette,
looked very sweet in her wedding gown
of white. The minutes sped rapidly by
and still no bridegroom. The wedding
was postponed one hour. All was con-
fusion when at noon the bridegroom,
who had kissed his intended the night
previous vowing eternal love and whis-
pering that she was the fairest girl in all
Los Angeles, was still absent.
1t appears that two young men have
been admirers of the prepossessing Miss
Lee. Dick Elliott was the favored one,
and it was generally thought that he
would capture the prize. The mother
and sister favored Dick, and were sur
prised when the announcement was
made that she would wed Vaughn.
Dick heard the final decision with a
heavy heart, and he has been the most
crestfallen man in Boyle Heights since
the day he was thrown over for his rival
from the city. Dick Elliott is grave
digger out at Evergreen cemetery, and
every day he passed the little cottage
where once upon a time the winsome
Rillie waved her handkerchief at him.
The boys tried to cheer Dick up, but to
no use. Life was a blank without
Rillie.
he developments Monday showed
that there was a hitch in the proceed
ings. Mrs. Vaughn was very much op-
posed to the match. She argued with
her son, but with not much success
until the day set for the wedding.
On the eventful morning Vaughn wrote
letter to Miss Rillie stating that bis
mamma thought that they were. both
too young to get married. The letter
was received about half an hour after
the time set for the ceremony. Ofcourse
the bride and her friends were very
much chagrined at the turn of affairs.
The sister of the bride did not waste
any time thinking about the tickle
bridegroom, but took the next car for
Evergreen cemetery. She found Dick
Elliott digging a grave. The young man
was very downcast and looked as if he
hadn't friend in the wide world. The
young lady confided in Dick and told
him that the field was clear. The dig
ging of the grave was entrusted to an
other man and Dick went home and
soon emerged dressed in his best suit OF
clothes. He called at the home of Miss
Elliott. There were cries OF "Dick p'
'Rillie" and the next minute the two
lovers were locked in each others arms
II nearly made an awful mistake"
sobbed the bride. Dick kissed away
the tears and it was arranged that they
should be married at O'Clock. The
ceremony took place at this time and
there was a great jollifcation at the
little cottage, adjoining the public tele-
phone station. Dick was the happiest
man in town and will never forget how
nearly he came to missing his wife.
That evening Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott
were seen driving in the direction of
the Evergreen cemetery. They looked
supremely happy. especially Dick, who,
few hours previous, had been one of
the most disconsolate of mortals in the
city of Los Angeles. ''All's well that
ends weli.".
