POMONA TO THE FRONT.

We observe, from the Pomona Times,
that great projects are on foot for that
place, founded on the development OF
the water power of the San Antonio
cafion. The college company, located at
Claremont, known as Pomona college,
has secured the right in perpetuity to
develop the water power on section So,
township 2 north, range s west, s. B.
NJ, and engineers have made a careful
preliminary survey of the volume of
water available. They find that the low
water is at least one thousand inches,
and the fall over three hundred feet. By
the use OF Pelton or similar wheels, at
least six hundred and fifty horsepower
can be obtained at low water. There is
a probability that the low water flow at
this point can be doubled, and the pipes
will be laid with view to using two
thousand inches of water, producing a
thirteen hundred horsepower. 1t is
proposed to use this power in Pomona,
Chino, Ontario and Claremont. The
company will be prepared to furnish arc
and incandescent lights.
The Times quotes the circular OF the
company, which gives the following
sanguine picture of the results that may
be looked for from the development OF
this enterprise:
l. Claremont is the seat OF Pomona
college, and will become residence
town OF 1000 to 1000 people, if we may
Judge by the experience OF scores OF such
college towns. 1t will eventually use
much power for lighting purposes.
2. Pomona is town of more than
1000 inhabitants, and will be the seat of
a much larger population as manufact-
uring industries are built up by cheap
electric power. This place, judging by
the experience of Ventura, spoken of
above, will use from a 200 to a 400 horse
power.
5. Chino, the seat of the beet-sugar
enterprise. has brilliant future, and
will consume power for various pur-
poses.
4. Ontario. There is no reason why
Ontario should not become an important
place within the near future, and, if SO,
it win need from a 200 to 400 horse
power.
Our contemporary adds that Mr. S. 6.
Stone, Los Angeles electrician, is now
in Pomona prepared to take orders for
arc and incandescent lights, and to ar
range for supplying power for the street
railway, between Pomona and Clare
mont, for the Ontario Mountain road,
for the mills and factories now located
at these places, and for the various 9TH
er enterprises which will soon be devel-
oped by cheap power, such as ice
works, woolen mills, etc.
We have here project in which all
Angelei1os will take deep interest.
Why should not the latent resources of
this section be developed on all hands
The great water power of the noble
range of mountains in plain view from
Los Angeles will undoubtedly be made
the medium for the evolution of great
wealth. 1t is available not only for irri-
CATION but for manufacturing purposes.
We wish the enterprising people of Po-
mona the utmost success in their plans
for development.
Pomona has a great future before her,
and nobody will more heartily rejoice in
its fruition than the HERALD. Our
neighbor with the pretty name seems to
be in the swim.

THE development of the trotting
stables in the United States has been
phenomenal of late years, and it is the
opinion of most people that it has been
overdone. For nearly whole decade
the trotting horse was the rage, and
people in every state of the union rushed
into breeding him. 1t was probably a
perception of this fact that led Mr.. L. j..
Rose, of Rosemeade, to drop the trotting
line to such considerable extent and
apply himself to the running horse.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Considerable Variety in the Offerings
This Week.


This Week.
The Los Angeles theater will open it's
weeks engagement tonight with the
famous Weber concert company of Chi
cago. This is the first appearance of
this attraction in the city, and they
should be greeted with full and ap-
preciative audience.
Little Harry Dimond, the boy violinist.
and Master Harry Truax, the boy so.
prano, have been literally praised
wherever they have been heard.
THE MENDELssoHN CLUB.
The Mendelssohn Quintette club NAV
be termed the ancient and honorable
company, for like the military COM
panies which have that title it is an old
institution. For forty-one years it has
been before the public and has distin-
guished itself by giving the very best
music in the best manner. Mr.. Thomas
Ryan organized the company. and is
still its leader. 1t will be at the Los
Angeles tkeater on Tuesday evening.
HERMANN.
Nothing less than the new and bril-
liant entertainment of the ever-popular
Hermann will be the attraction at the
Grand opera house next Thursday even
ing. The youngster who has not seen
Hermann does not know the surpass-
ing delights of enchantment, and cannot
realize what charm there is in mystery.
The oldest who has not seen Hermann
has not found the happiest way to re-
new his youth. This sincomprehensible
this deft, this Elusive and surprising
Hermann, is an enchanter with SEEM
ingly inexhaustible resources. See him
every night and you are in no danger of
being made n victim of monotony, for he
is always devising some new mystery of
fitting new clothes on an old mystery.
There is nothing chestnutesque about
Hermann. Even in his friendly talks
with his public he avoids the stereo-
typed, being ready-witted enough to
seize upon the incident of the moment
for the purpose of enlivening his quaint
conversation, and he invariably does it
with the happiest tact and rare address.
There is much pleasure for the spectator
in Herrmann's manner of doing thing,
as in the thing he does. His skill is
amazing. He never bungles, and though
the eve of much experience be fastened
on him, he never fails to make his illu-

A WHISTLER.
Mr.. ]. G. Lewis, who is the ST Punk
ard of the play of that name, which
appears at the Los Angeles theater three
nights, commencing Thursday, April
90th, is a great whistler. During the
concert of the farmer band, Thursday,
at p. M, he will render the Mocking
Bird loud enough to be heard above the
full band, which accompanies him. He
uses no instrument of any kind in his
month.

A Recommendation From Tennessee.
1t is more than likely that many of the
readers of the HERALD will agree with H.

opinion OF Cbamberlain's Cough Rene

ommending it to the public as being
medicine of great worth and merit. The
manufacturers of that remedy certainly
have been great benefactors to suffering

Children shockingIv M%tstreared.

BRENNAN, Tex, Aug. 5.-Oficers
today went out to the Colored Orphans
Home, at Independence. to investigate
the alleged c%ruelties OF Father f. NJ.
HUM in his treatment of the inmates.
The officers found the reports true. The
children had been chastised with cowhides
and some of the boys who had tried to
escape from the home had been kept tied
with a chain around their necks until the
flesh had been cut to the bone. The
children were ted at noon on spoiled milk
and boiled hard corn, and their quarters
were sinking. Several charges will be
preferred against the keeper OF the home.
The officers saw enough while there to
prosecute him If no other testimony was
available. He uses his yard for a pen
and leaves the offal there to putrefy, to
the disgust Of %neighbors, who will swear
that the place is a nuisance.

New York, Aug. 5.-Rose Coghlan,
the actress, has taken 10 riding horse
back dressed in mans clothing and
straddling her animal like a Dragon. Last
Friday night, while taking a run in
company with Actor John +. sullivan,
she fell off and came very nearly being
seriously hurt. Miss Coghlan is living
at Fort Hamilton. and, according to the
story which she told yesterday, she was
badly bruised. Either for pleasure or
advertising purposes. the actress has
developed a fondness for IidIng horseback
straddle legs, and, fearing that her action
might cause too many comments, she
goes out at night. In her theatrical
career Miss Coghlan has made quite a hit
when she has appeared in mans clothing
and she looked well in trousers and riding
jacket, but she always kept the cloak Of
night about her. But like many Others
of her sex, Miss Coghlan can ride very
well in a man 8 garment as long as she has
nothing to do but sit straight, but when
1t comes to using the stirrups she is
wanting, and that is just what occurred
Friday night. The horse SHE'D and she
promptly tumbled off, and it was by the
greatest good fortune that her face was
moi struck by one of the horses boots
Yesterday she was resting in a cushioned
chair and she told of her accident. She
wound up by saying: Il tell you it is not
a very pleasant task for a woman to take
off mems trousers when she is as badly
bruised as l was about the hips" This
was not Miss Coghlan's first fall, for she
remarked that just a few days ago she
had started to mount her big black horse
when the stirrup broke. II landed on
my feet on the other side without touch,

FLUSHING, Mich, Aug. 5.-Charles
Reed Is a Free Methodist exhorter who
settled here early in the spring and held a
series of revival meetings. He preached
with great %fervor, and three of his con-
verts went crazy over the severity of the
religion he taught. The people tired and
his meetings fell off until nobody at
tended. Then it became known that he
had neglected his wife and child, and this
also hurt him. He was forced to go out
to work. and found a job as farm hand on
Cyrus Bacon's farm. Reed was law and
Bacon constantly told him so. The two
quarreled, and Bacon Yesterday discharged
Reed, telling him to come around Satur
dav for his money. Reed would not
wait and lost his grip on his christianity,
swearing at Bacon like a trooper. When
he tried to hit Bacon he was grabbed BY
the scruff of the neck, both his eyes black
ened and he was bruised in many places,
Bacon ending BY throwing him into the
road. The parson threatens to have
Bacon arrested, but Bacon's friends swear
they will tar aud feather Reed if he is not
ont OF town by tomorrow night. The
town is excited.
