LONG BEACH, Sept. l.-At meeting
several nights ago the harbor committee
appointed subcommittee consisting ol
John Roberts, lothian Bixby, and Cap.
tain Walker, to confer for this place
with the San Pedro people, in present.
ing to the visiting engineers the elaine
of San Pedro for the deep water harbor.
Mr.. Roberts was at San Pedro, yester-
day, attending to the matter. Definite
action will be taken in few days.
Long Beach has displayed more enter.
prise this season than any other seaside
resort. The latest move is to have two
balloon ascensions during September.
The first ascension will be made Sunday
the 4th, and the second Sunday the 18th.
Letters from many of the surrounding
towns have been received, asking for
particulars of the ascension, and the
prospect is that large crowds will be
here to see them.
As this is the first OF the month, a
number of visitors have left and accom-
modatons will be easier to get during
this month. 1t is reported that sixty
fami les from San Bernardino were ex-
pected here to camp for while in Sep
tember. A number of people from the
fruit growing district is expected, as the
fruit drying is about over and a vacation
in the hottest month of the year will be
taken by them.
There was some talk today of trying
to get James G. Blaine to come here.
One man proposed that 5000 resi-
dence and a lot facing on the ocean be
offered.
The Republican primaries will be held
tomorrow in the city hall, on First
street. There are fully six or eight
candidates in the field, but John Rob-
erts and u. Decker will most probably be
selected.
As the result of the HERALD's repeated
demands that the flag be raised, the
national colors have been flying in the
park for the last two days.
