A Rosy Prospect for Progress-Notes and
Personals.
LONG BEACH, Dec. 10.-A wharf,
harbor on our bay. Cleveland elected.
Tommy Rowan tam bien. Early soak
ing rains. improvements going on in
the business portion Of our future great
commercial city. The whole OF our sur
rounding country being planted in
cereals and frnit, puts Long Beach at
the head Of the procession by large
and increasing majority.
While we knew the frat Of last month
how the United States engineers re-
ported in the matter of placing deep
sea harbor, still the official recommends
ton of San Pedro as the most eligible
location by the board to congress on the
7th, was received here with expressions
OF satisfaction, and unqualified approval
of the wisdom displayed in the
selection, although by reason Of it's
great natural advantages such choice
was in great measure forced. In time
San Pedro will take its place as one of
the great maritime cities OF the world,
while its sister. Long Beach, will
proudly rear itt head as the most
famous and beautiful seaside resort in
existence.
A 12,nch flow OF water was gained at
one of the artesan wells Just south of
the famous Bouton well, on the Cerritos,
last Wednesday.
In "a hours McGarvin caught 5000
pounds OF marketable fish. Sixteen
hundred pounds of them were caught
alongside the new wharf here Thursday
morning. Nc. says it wasn't much of
shower for this place either. He ship
ped them over the Terminal to Los
Angeles and found ar empty market.
Terminal island, at the west end, is
just adapted by nature as the site of
navy yard. With a railroad to Salt
Lake all the fuel and material necessary
can be hauled over the Terminal at a
great deal less cost than it now costs the
government to get it hauled to Mare
Island.
Our neighbors OF the twin colonies,
the Cerritos and the American, are get
ting the ground ready, and will set out
hundreds of acres in fruit, deci3uous
and citrus. Their lemons, figs, apples
and plums are the best in the market
and bring the best price, while Mr.. B.
F. Butler has shipped thousands of
young nursery stock lemon trees to
Pasadena, Alhambra, Riverside and
other places during the summer. 1t is
only few years ago that the festive
bonega munched the nutritious grasses
of this most prolific soil, soil which is,
by the genius of American enterprise,
destined to become famous by the su-
periority of its productions.
Our Long Beach baseball nine will
meander over to Redondo today, Sun
day and decide by it's playing the reason
that San Pedro is 30 much better than
Santa Monica cafion for the harbor. One
of the Denver league will umpire.
The Rev. DR.. Conger will preach at
Rev. r. M. Webster's church here, and
Mr.. Webster will preach at the former
gentleman's church, Pasadena, today,
