days on the trail to the summit of Old
Baldy. The one that was built year
or more ago shortened the distance to
the summit very materially. The OBJ
ject of the work that is to be shortly be-
gun, is to open a new route for por-
ton of the way, which, when completed
will make the ascent comparatively q
small undertaking.

The Todd Sheppard wedding took place
at Pilgrim church, Monday night, and
was altogether quite an elaborate affair.
The church was crowded and most
handsomely decorated. The bride and
groom stood under large arch of palm
leaves while the impressive ceremony
was pronounced by Rev. L. H. Frary.
Mr.. Todd and his bride were driven from
the church directly to the home which
they will occupy, and a pleasant recep-
ton was held. The Ninth Infantry
band serenaded the happy couple early
in the evening, and later on the "Mur-
Gibson band'' with tin horns from five
to twelve feet in length gave serenade.

The people residing along the Chino
creek, in the Rincon, are making vig-
orous kick on account of the outfall
from the Chino sugar factory being
turned into the creek. The stencil is
almost intolerable, and it is feared that

The bee men in the northern part of
the valley have noticed for some time

getting very weak, and they have made
the discovery that they were being de-
voured by skunks.
The mandamus suit brought by G..
Burdick, to compel the city council to
call special election for trustee in the

the superior court.
A Chinese laundryman was arrested
Monday for violating ordinance S5. 1t
prohibits carrying on a public laundry
within certain limits. This is to be
made test case.
Many people are of opinion that some
attention should be paid to furnishing
the city with some sort of a sewer sys-
tenn. The entire attention OF our "pow-
ers that be- in the city seems to be de-
voted to the liquor, laundry and other
police questions.
