LONG BEACH TO CELEBRATE ON
SATURDAY.

ness-A Wild Prophecy from an En-
gineer-Stubbs Interviewed.

The Terminal railmay officials, with a
number OF distinguished ladies and gen.
tlemen, went to Long Beach on Sunday
and had dinner at the Flying Fish cot
tage.
The officials inspected the road as far
as the track was laid, and were well sat-
isfed with the work. Next Saturday
was set as the day for the barbecue, and
driving the golden spike. The chamber
of commerce, the railroad magnates and
large number OF people from all the
surrounding country will participate.
Accommodations will be furnished by the
company for large number of visitors.
The occasion will mark a new epoch in
the history of Long Beach.

NOTES.

The wine merchants are aggrieved
over the fact that the through rate on
wine, whisky and brandy, in carload
lots to New York, has been advanced to
$l.33 hundred pounds. 1t was for
merly 81. The local railroad people say
that this advance is the result of the de-
mand Of the lines east OF Chicago to be
allowed their full local rate on this
freight instead of proportion of the 81
rate. The local rate is 33 cents. The
same advance is made in the rate on
California preserved fruits.
The Santa Fe company has just turn
ed out 100 sixty-ton freight cars at it's
Topeka shops for use in its California
service.

STUBBs INTERVIEWED.
J.C. Stubbs, third vice-president of
the Southern Pacific company, who has
just returned from the east, said yester-
day that there was apparently little
prospect of the eastern lines consenting
to participate in the reduction in rates
adopted by the Transcontinental
1.-The representations of those roads"
he continued, ''say that there is
more profit in hauling eastern goods to,
Montana and other parts of the coun-
try where the trade is not controlled by
the California fruit men than there is in
carrying the California product to the
east. If the reduced rates can be
secured, however, we mean to get
them"
Speaking of the California Traffic as
sociation, Mr.. Stubbs said: 'sIt will be
all very we'll if the merchants refused to
be guided by the anti-railroad agitators.
From the standpoint of the railroad
think the movement will do no harm.
/ do not see how it can result in the
building of a competing line, though
am confident, aside from any induce
ment that may be held outby the San
Francisco people, that a competing line
will come here before very long. l do
not say that it would be good policy
for the Santa Fe to build to
this city, for it already has a
line here by virtue of contract
with US, but it will probably take such
course. The only reason, however, for
it's building the line is the local traffic
which it would secure. In respect to
this its competition would not hurt our
system, while as for through business it
is already strong competitor"

THE ENGINEER MUST BE OFF.


An associated press dispatch under
date of October 31st, stated that
an engineer employed on the Santa Mar
garita and Ellwood survey, on the coast
line of the Southern Pacific, had said
that it will take three years to tunnel
the San Rafael and Santa Ynez noun
tains. The Santa Barbara Press COM
ments as follows on this:
cit would be interesting to know who
this engineer is, and what he knows
about it. AS matter of fact there is
no tunneling to be done in Santa Bar
bara county, either through the Santa
Ynez or San Rafael mountains. Just
how the road could wander, into the San
Rafael mountains is somewhat of mys-
terry to any one familiar with the geog-
raphy of the county. The people "down
here" know good deal more about it
than the "engineer" quoted, if his geog-
raphy is sample of his knowledge.
The tunnels to be built are in the
Cuesta mountains, the other side of San
Luis Obispo, and the writer once heard
G. P. Huntington say that they could be
built in seven months if pushed, and
easily in year. How the engineer
knows that the mountains are solid
rock is another conundrum, and we
suspect the railroad company would feel
better pleased if they knew that to be a
fact. Tunnels through rock are more
easily built than through earth which
has to be showed up"

A WORTHY PETITION.

There is being great united move
ment made throughout the state under
the uperintendence of that old veteran
ref former, George +. rockingham, of
Detroit. The object of this is to pre-
sent such a weight of petitions to the
next legislature that it can not refuse
to take some action on the great evil
of sectarianism in the state institu-
tons. The prime end is to GUST the
sect of homeopathy from the depart
ment of medicine III the University
lest it prove dangerous precedent.
For, they argue, what better right has
homeopathy as separate school to a
corps of professors than any other sect
as faith cure" or others. If it has a
right there then all these other sectar.
ian schools have right and the money
of the taxpayers will be sifted away
by wrangling crowd of sectarians and
no scientific end will be obtained.
But the evil does not stop here. If
this principle, or lack of principle
holds good here, and sects are estab-
lished in our state institutions, then
the same argument can prove effective
as to public schools, and we, as tax
payers, will see our money spent in
establishing private schools, parochial
schools of different sects and denomi-
nations. The evil, which is possible
under this state of things, is unlimited.
Now the voters and legislators of the
state are called upon to kill this evil
forever with one blow. 1t is worthy
cause and should receive the support
of every citizen. Do not be frightened
by the arguments which some sup
porters of homeopathy venture to use
namely, that the other leading sect in
medicine, allopathy, has big majority
Of the professorships. BY consulting
nearly any good dictionary you can
learn that "sllopathy" is word given
Ivy Habnemann, the founder of homeo.

WHY NOT NATURAL GASP

The growing scarcity of wood as
fuel is becoming more and more sub
iect deserving of thorough considera-
ton. Even now the wood which we
are generally compelled to use is of a
very inferior quality; and it is becom-
ing more and more difficult to obtain
any wood at all. TO use coal would
not only be very expensive but incon-
venient. Then what can we get as "a
convenient as well as cheap commodity
for fuel purposes? Upon this there
seems to be but one opinion. AS far
as experts can Judge we have natural
gas under us. and can obtain it for the
cost of boring for it. The question
merely resolves itself into whether we
rs community have enough of enter
prise to make the trial.
Considering now the great need
which we have for something of this
kind, and the incalculable benefit it
would work for the village and all the
property in it, if we were supplied with
natural gas, would it not be practicable
to try some such "A thing? AS men
have figured the cost of such trial, it
would probably require about 5000,
sixty shares at $40 a share, to make the
experiment. Taking into consideration
the vast benefit it would have uDOn all
real-estate that is but paltry amount.
Moreover, one of our business men in
forms us that he has large engine
which he would be pleased to donate
towards the work, and so the expense
would be almost entirely rs regards the
actual work of boring. There are near
ly within the heart of the village lots
which could be obtained at small price
since they are too low for other pur-
poses, and they would serve admirably
the purpose at hand. Thus $500 or at
mos $500 would be spent almost alone
in boring; and at the rate of 81 per foot,
the usual price, we would soon be sup
piled with gas if there was any.
Now, as to the fact that there is gas
underneath us, we must 20 Il large ex-
tent speculate. But we could thor
oughly satisfy ourselves on that point
by making use of skilled knowledge.
Still we have the assurance that 1T is
most probable. Port Huron and Sagi-
nav have it. and it is claimed it exists
at all points between.
Thus everything seems to indicate
that with but small trouble we could be
supplied almost eternally with cheap
fuel and lighting. The experiment
would not be as hazardous even as it
has generally been with other places.
for we have the assurance of the eXpe-
rience which these others have had.
We seem to have great boon verify
under our feet. To reach and take 1t
is the only requirement.
Again from another standpoint the
experiment, for such we will still call
it, would seem advisable. Salt and
even petroleum an coal are mined all
about us. The probabilities are that
we would be sure to strike some of
these valuable things. Anyone OF them
would mean thousands of dollars to
owners of property in this vicinity.
This is the question as it presents
itself to us at present. We commend
it to the candid consideration of the
business people of our village. 1t
seems to us ut least plausible. and de-
serves "A thorough investigation. No
harm at most can come of it and i'm
measurable good may insue.

TIE HAIL ROBBED.
Bold Deed Of Bandits in the Streets
Of Chicago.
MAIL WAGON SUDDENLY ASSAULTED.
The Robbers Compel the Postal Employees
to Throw Out the Sacks-A VAL
liable Booty Secured and End
less Trouble Likely,

CHICAGO, Dec. IG.-Jesse James ex-
PLOTS were outdone last night in CHI
cago. On one of the leading thorough
fares five daring highwaymen suddenly
surrounded one of Uncle Sans biggest
mail wagons, and, at "a revolver's point,
forced the postal employees to throw out
several sacks. The bulky government
vehicle was then sent flying on its jour-
ney, the occupants being threatened
with instant death if they made out
cry or stopped.
So complete was the surprise effected
by the bandits that the mail drivers
failed to utilize the services of a large
bull dog which was beside them on
their seat.
Near midnight, the stolen mail sacks,
split open and rifed of their contents,
were found on Superior street, in the
north division of the city, fully three
miles from the. scene of the robbery.
At that hour every available man of the
city detective force and the post Office
inspectors staff were straining every
nerve to obtain a clew to the identity
of the highwaymen or their where
abouts.
The wagon was on its way to the
main post office with mail from the
stock yards and southwest stations. 1t
was in charge of John Creighton, an
experienced driver, who, after collect
ing his valuable freight, drove down
Blue Island avenue to Halstead street
and then turned east on Water street.
He was half way to Des PLANES street
when five men sprang from the side
walk. One seized the horses by the
reins, while the others covered Creigh-
ton with revOlvers and commanded him
to keep quiet.
The team was then led to the alley
extending north from Maple street and
then, while one of the men covered
Creighton with a revolver, the others
forced open the door of the wagon and
hastily selecting the registered pouches
from the others, made off through the
alley. CreightOn's guard kept the cap
tive covered for five minutes and then
left him.
The thoroughly frightened driver
whipping up his horses, drove as rapidly

where he reported the affair. An in
ventOry was then made of the contents
of the wagon, and it was found that
the two registered mail pouches from
the stock yards station, and that from
the Southern station and Blue Island
avenue station were missing. The
value of the contents the officials were
unable to determine, but it was known
to be heavy.
Creighton in the dark was unable to
distinguish the features and scarcely
the forms of his assailants, except the
one who stood guard The latter was
about FIVE feet ten inches tall and wore
a dark cap pulled down over his eyes.
