LONG BEACH.

The Terminal seems to be catching the
greater part of the travel between San
Pedro and Los Angeles.
Long Beach at present has five trains
each way daily, three on the Southern
Pacific and two on the Terminal.
The water question is still in abey-
ance, the pipe ordered by the develop
ment company not having materialized
as yet. We have lively recollection of
promises made by the company under
the old regime, of building new hotel
to replace the one cremated, if the city
would only deed to them certain
valuable holdings then owned by the
city, which was done, and the city got
the hotel-in the neck. Anything get
ting caught twice in the same trap de-
serves its fate.
Long Beach was ignored in its attempt
to have the next Republican national
convention meet there. There are no
saloons here, you know.
An elegant dinner party was given by
our popular city treasurer. Will F.
| Sweeny, and Mrs. Sweeny, on Tuesday
evening last, that being the third ami
versary of their marriage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed HI. McCraken and
Miss George, the famous Baker family,
intend to be in it for next years swim,
they having already ordered from New
York the most elaborate and costliest
bathing costumes. Judging from de-
signs shown me, the costumes will be
the most taking ever seen on this part
of the coast.
Conductor Charlie Judge has been
transferred to the Pasadena route of the
Terminal company. Billy Graham and
Brakeman Henry Morris take care of
the Long Beach branch.
DIR. J. w. Wood, who is in attendance
on Charlie Thornburg, lately injured by
a drill used in sowing grain on the
Alamitas Land and Water company's
property, states that Mr.. Thornburg's
injuries will incapacitate him for some
time.
Forty is the number Of acres they are
putting in to grain every day on the
Alamitas Land company's claim.
Quite delegation of baseball cranks
from the coast went up Thanksgiving
day and saw Edwards & Meningitis
gilt-edged team of ball tossers do up the
'Friscos. Jo-Jo's costume was immense,

A strong feeling in favor of disincor-
porating the city has developed since
the passage by the supervisors OF the
ordinance regulating the license and
sale OF liquors which goes into effect the
| 1st day of January next. Some OF our
most conservative citizens who have
spoken to me about the matter, think
! the ordinance stringent enough to pro-
tect this place from being flooded with
low doggeries.
Mr.. Powers. of the firm of Cambell 4
Powers, Boyle Heights, who has been
here some days with Mrs. Powers, who
has been i'll, leaves today Sunday for
home, our bracing air having restored
the lady to health.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. S. Merrill and family
of Boyle Heights spent couple OF days
at their cottage on Chestnut avenue this
last week.
General Manager T. B. Burnett,
Master Burnett and General Passenger
Agent VIM. Wincup of the Terminal,
were down Friday.
Mrs. E. B. Crossette, the noted lec-
turess of San Jose, is here visiting her
| friend Miss S. M. Johnson.
A large number of baseball enthusiasts
will 60 up from this section today to
witness the game. They will root for
the Apollos.
| Mr.. Jas. Mcpherson, an old-time citi-
zen here. has moved with his family to
Riverside. Mrs. Mcpherson will embark
in business at that place.
