Riverside is well supplied with first
class hotels, among the oldest of which
is the Glenwood. This popular hostelry
is located on Main street, near the busi-
ness center of the city, in the ihidst of a
small orange grove which affords an es-
pecial attraction to eastern tourists.
The hotel is supplied with all the mod

THE ARLINGTON.
Although this hotel has
been built but little more
than two years, it has met
with remarkable favor with
the travelling public. III. B.
Everest, the proprietor, has
spared neither labor nor
means to make it the very
best hostelry to be found on
the Pacific coast. The build
ing is a handsome three-story
brick structure and is pro-
vided with elegant passenger
elevator, fire escapes, public
and private baths, in fact,
everything that conduces to
the comfort of guests. The
rooms are large, we'll venti-
lated and elegantly furnished.
The view from the different
portions of the house is one
of semi-tropical beauty, which
is certainly enhancing to the
eastern visitor to this land of
sunshine. The table is al
ways supplied with all Of the
delicacies the markets afford,
and as meals are served either
on tine European or Ameri-
can plans, numerous tourists
make this hotel their head
quarters while visiting the
neighboring points of inter

commodations for 150 people.

NEW RAILROAD IDEA.
A Western Line Has an Industrial Man to
Furnish Information,

A Western Line Has an Industrial Man to
Furnish Information.
Louis Jackson, Industrial Commissioner
for the Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul
road, registered at the Anderson yesterday.
His business is new in railroading, and he
is conversant with the water power, re-
sources and advantages of the territory
through which the lines run. Mr.. jackson
says the country is rich in iron, lumber and
hemlock bark, and offers a good opening
for settlers.
1.-The West is not like the East, " he said
"Here the railroads run from town to town,
but in the West we must build the lines
first, and then the immigrant agents locate
industrious Germans and Swedes in the
country. They do the rest. Next fall
we will send an agent to Finland
and Norway to bring over at least 800 FAM
lilies 10 settle in the lumber regions OF Mich
igan. A mans opportunities are limited in
the East, but beyond the Mississippi small
capital will go long way. We want the
mechanic who hasn't much money to start
industries where competition is not keen."
The idea of an industrial commissioner to
preach the merits of the West originated
with Vice President E. P, Ripley. The
management has been left to Mr.. jackson.

Fund Bonds-The Transfer to Be Made


The Fidelity Title and Trust Company Ac-
cepts the Custody of the City's Sinking
Fund Bonds-The Transfer to Be Made
This Week.
The Fidelity Title and Trust Company
yesterday filed with Controller Morrow
their acceptance of the trust of the city's
bonds, imposed by the ordinance providing
for the investment of the sinking funds,
passed few weeks ago. The transfer OF
the bonds will be made this week. Ali the
Controller will need to do will be to tabu-
late statement of the bonds delivered to
the trust company for his record and the
company will give him a receipt therefor,
and the whole transaction will not need to
occupy over a half hours time
The value of the bonds To be transferred
will be 50, 09S 7S3 68 including the various
issues OF city bonds which the Controller has
already bought un. They range from de-
nominations of 5000 and $500 to 500, 000

der the new ordinance, to City Councils, of
the bonds in its possession, giving de-
tailed statement of its account with the CITY.
The Controller Will report a statement each
month also, and the two statements must
correspond. This is an arrangement that
the Controller has been trying to secure for
eight years, and he is highly pleased now
that il is accomplished. He says it will
make biunders or dishonest transactions
with the bonds of the city impossible, which
was not the case previously.

MORE COMBINE TALK.

Rumors of the Placing of Duquesne Trac-
ton Bonds and Consolidation With the
Pitfsburg Traction Company-Slgnificant
Statement of President William Fl.
Kemble.
A rumor was abroad yesterday afternoon
to the effect that all the Duquespe Traction
bonds had been placed in Philadelphia by
Drexel, Morgan & Co. The mention Of the
latter company in connection with the
placing of the bonds led to the belief
that the much talked of consolida-
tion of the Duquesne and Pittsburg
Traction companies had at last been con-
summated. Most of the Duquesne people
being out of the city, no definite intorma-
ton could be gained on the subject. Chief
j. o. Brown said he had not heard anything
about the bonds being placed The follow
ing telegram was received last night from
the Philadelphia correspondent of The
DISPATCH: ~
President WIlliamH. Kemble Of the Traction
Company, was very emphatic in his declaration
late this afternoon that the reported negoria-
tons between the Duquesne Traction Com
pany of PIttsburg and the Philadelphia COM
bination were entirely beyond his knowledge.
The rumor reached this town just as the stock

shape of dispatch from the Iron City. stating
that all the Duquesne Company's bonds had
been placed by Drexe Morgan & Co., ana that
such a move indicated consolidation of the
Pittsburg enterprise with the Widener- Elkins-
Kemble syndicate. Mr.. Widener is sick in bed
and Mr.. Elklns had left his office by the time
the rumor became known Third street.
Mr.. kemhle was getting into his carriage. but
found time enough to say to a DISPATCH re-
porter:
That's the first I've heard OF it. You can
say that no negotiations are pending between
the Philadelphia Traction Company and the
Duquesne Company, OF Pitrsburg. There is
nothing could tell you that would indicate
the probability of consolidation. No, l re-
peat. there are no negotiations now going on"
"And haven't there been any?'
The horses had started on trot up Walnut
street as Mr.. Kemble leaned out of his carriage
to reply:
That's an entirely different thing. Just say
there are no negotiations now in progress be-
tween the corporations"
Several wel-known brokers on the street de-
MED all knowledge of the alleged deal. though
tacitly admitting that such movement had
been previously contemplated and was in all
likelihood still in view.

ROASTED THE TAX BILL.

Taggares Revenue Effort Severely Sat Down
on in the Chamber of Commercial Re-
quest for More Ship Canal Commission
Reports-More Money Than Usual.
The Chamber of Commerce held its regu-
lar session at the old Thaw mansion on Fifth
street. At the opening the Auditing Com
mittee reported that there was 81, ,514 40 in
the treasury. The balance last year was
only 81 ,97S so. The increase was largely
explained by the fact that the Chamber had
not been paying rent since the fire at the
Germania Bank building.
After some other routine business had
been transacted Captain Herbert, in the
absence of Chairman George H. Anderson,
reported the action of the Committee on
Legislation on the Taggart tax bill, known
as House bill 2l0. The report was as
follows:
The Committee on Legislation, to whom
was referred the proposed act of Assembly
to provide for the collection of revenue for
local purposes by the taxation of real estate,
personal property and corporate property,
find that in our opinion the bill in question
is unnecessary, inquisitorial, impolitic and
contravention of the Constitution of the
United States and of the State of Pennsyl-
vania.
We, therefore, recommend that the Cham
Der of Commerce protest against the passage
of said bill, and further that the subject be
referred to the Committee OF Manufacturers
for their action on the bill.
The report passed unanimously with
scarcely any discussion and copies Of the
report were ordered printed and sent to the
members of the Legislature.
Colonel 7. P. Roberts then submitted a
resolution requesting the Legislature to
print an edition of 1000 copies of the report
the of Erie Ship Canal Commission for dis
tribution. The resolution was unanimously
carried.
At the close of the meeting Chairman
Miller announced the names of the new
Committee on Commercial Relations with
the South American Republics. They were:
