THE FUNNY OWL.

It Does All Ita Hunting for Food at
Night.
Look at this dignifed, sober creature,
with its eyes almost shut up in the day
time, and wide open at night! This
queer bird works just as watchmen do:
does all it's hunting for mice and other
food in the dark.
If you want the rats caught in your
barn, owls are better than all the cats
in the world.
A live owl in the daylight has his
head shrunk into his body, and is very
stupid; but the moment night comes,

NEWS OF THE RAILROADS,
The Southern Pacific Branch to
the Quarry.
The Right of Way Having Been
Obtained,
The Result Is That the Hammel o. Denkei
Sugar Factory Will Be Estap-
Iished-The Santa Fe and
the Wool Rate-NOtes.

1t is tolerably certain now that the
Southern Pacific company will not pur-
chase the Los Angeles and Pacific rail-
road, as right of way agents are now
hard at work getting the necessary land
for the line from Palm station ON the
Santa Monica branch OF the Southern
Pacific to Levering's stone quarry in
Coldwater caf1on, distance OF about
seven miles.
The line will run on the east side of
Hammel & Dsnker's ranch, on which it
is now settled fact that beet sugar
factory will be located, and in view Of
that Mr.. Denker is now having the
place subdivided into ten and twenty
acre tracts. A significant fact about the
construction OF this spur is that there
is an easy grade through Coldwater
caf1on to the north through the noun
tains, which would allow of an extern
sion of the branch at any time 1t was
needed, to connection with the Santa
Barbara branch, and 80 on to the new
coast line of the Southern Pacific to San
Francisco.
An interesting fact in connection with
this matter is that the contract for the
construction OF the big tunnels on the
coast line north of San Luis Oblspo
has been let to Nelson Bennett, the
millionaire contractor OF Tacoma.
THAT WOOL RATE.
From Santa Fe official yesterday the
following statement was obtained: AT
the meeting of the association at Cor
onado proposition was introduced by
the Santa Fe system lines for reduced
rate on wool in grease. This was lost
through the vote Of northern line,
whereupon the Santa Fe system lines
claimed that in justice to Southern Cal
ifornia the rate on secured wool should
be advanced. so as to enable Southern
California dealers to handle their pro-
duct with eastern dealers direct instead
of sending the wool to San Francisco in
grease where it was then secured, and
obtain the benefit OF secured wool rate
from there to eastern points.
1t has been demonstrated by actual
tests that one hundred pounds of wool
in grease shrinks to thirty pounds when
secured, being shrinkage of 70 per cent.

THE CITY DRUGS,
A Matter that Is of Interest to Phar-
macists.

A Matter that Is of Interest to Phar-
macists.
The question of supplying drugs to the
city receiving hospital is one that is of
decided interest to the several hundred
druggists of this city. At the council
meeting last Monday there was dispo-
sition to award the contract without ad-
vertising for bids. Mr.. Innes demanded
that the health officer submit schedule
of the drugs needed, and the matter
was referred to the supply committee
for ''further action"
The firm OF II. M. Sale & Son at pres
ent holds the contract for supplying
drugs to the city receiving hospital and
free dispensary. the stipulation being
that they supply drugs not to exceed
500 in value per month to the receiving
hospital, at z per cent advance on
Wholesale prices. Since May last this
firm has drawn $7S1.75 from the city
treasury tor drugs supplied the receiving
hospital, the free dispensary and the
street department. The regulation re-
garding the $50 limit has been over
looked. In October the bill reached
$56.18 for the receiving hospital and
this with $25 to the free dispensary and
Sligo to the street superintendent made
total of $82. 2.S3, while in February the
Z total of the items reached $94. 80.
Judging from the amount of corks and
alcohol supplied the patients Of the re-
ceiving hospital they must have need of
large quantities Of these staples. An
examination of the itemized bills sub
mitted would afford interesting reading
to druggists, as they illustrate the in
finite scope and variety of the materia
medica and suggest that the patients at
the receiving hospital must be afflicted
with all the ills which flesh is heir.
The records of the receiving hospital
show that about 1900 patients were
treated during the period mentioned,
the vast majority suffering from indi-
gestion, alcoholism and headache. Az

THE NATIVE SONS.
THE DELEGATES WILL ARRIVE
THIS AFTERN
a Reception Committee Left Last Even
ing to Meet the Visitors at Te-
hachapt-Notes, etc.

All Native Sons are requested to be OF
hand this afternoon to welcome the
ladies and gentlemen who will be guests
of the city the coming week. The re-
ception committee, consisting of R. F.
Del Vale, chairman, and J. G. Foy, w.
F. Nordholt, A. Ramish, Anthony
Schwamm and Frank M. Kelsey, left
last night for Tehachapi to meet and
welcome the incoming delegates. The
reception committee start out armed
with an express load of delicacies. Miss
Frances McCreery has also entrusted
the committee with box full of bou-
tonnieres. Another item that will give
the visitors from the north a sample of
Southern California is box of orange
blossoms. The Los Angeles committee
will locate every delegate while en- route
to this city, having list of rooms at
the different hotels which will be re-
served until this evening.
The different committees were kept
busy all day yesterday and much detail
work was accomplished. Frank Slowe,
A. Ramish, N. M. Quirolo and Otto
Weld have succeeded admirably in dec
Grating the city, and by Monday night
Los Angeles will look very gay. Thus
far M. Polaski has the best decorated
place, but some firms are holding back
until tomorrow.

praise for their arduous work during

1t must be understood that this is not
celebration of the Native Sons. 1t is
the annual business session OF delegates.
The regular celebration day is Septem-
ber 9th, on which day California was
admitted into the union.
The parlors in Southern California
propose to entertain the visitors in royal
style. While the citizens have respond
ed literally, a little more money is still
needed.
1t is generally conceded that Thomas
F. Flint, of San Benito. has walk over
for grand president. There is hot
fight on for vice-president. The princi-
pal candidates are John 7. Creamy, Joe
d. Sproul and Leon Dennery. The only
thing that Southern California will ask
will be the Office of grand trustee for
either Stephen M. White, OF Los An
geles, or H. A. Keller, Of San Ber-
nardino.
There will also be pretty fight for
grand treasurer between Henry S.
Martin, the present incumbent, and
Dick Doolan. The latter is very popular
and will make great run. Henry
Lunstedt has walk over for grand sec
retary.

a rule the ailments recorded are trivial
and could be cured with few cents
worth Of drugs. The hospital report
shows 203 patients were treated during
March out of 277 prisoners-a very
heavy proportion Of sickly prisoners to
say the least.
The drugs are required to be supplied
at small advance on wholesale prices,
and the money expended would buy
considerable quantity of drugs. The
question OF awarding the drug contract
is now in the hands OF this supply COM
mittee, and they should be required to
advertise for bids for supplying the
drugs, and record should be kept of
the dispensation OF the same to prison
ers in the receiving hospital. AS mat
ters now stand there is no record and
no check on the drug account.

Brown had been out fishing, and
he returned home with fish that
was a little larger than the ones he
usually brought or bought, as the
case might be. He was so elated
that be talked of nothing else all the
evening, and when little Johnnie at
last seemed to take an interest in the
wonderful iGh and began to ask ques-
tions the old mans heart warmed
toward hls son. At length, when
the boy seemed about to ask a ques-
ton which he did not appear quite
able to express, Brown tried to help
him out.
"Well, my boy" he asked, what
more do you want to know about
that fish I caught2'
just tell me exactly what it
weighed, so that when any of your
friends ask me our stories will agree. "
Then bending toward him and lower

added, you know I'm always ready
to lie for you, dad, you see, but l
don't want to get caught at it. New
