LONG BEACH THANKFUL.
A LONG LIST OF BLESSINGS FOR
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
A New Wharf for Terminal Island.
Flying Fish Annoy Fishers on
the Wharf-Personal
Notes.

LONG BEACH, Jan. Zo.-Inere IS q
sweet little cherub that sits up aloft,
looking out for the interest of Southern
California this year, sure! A bountiful
and generous supply of rain, when most
needed; stock wallowing in luscious,
nutritious grasses (down in this section
at lesst); San Pedro selected as the
place for the deep sea harbor; our
Steve elected United States senator; the
HERALD enlarged and improved; civili-
zation getting in its fine work, even
amongst the Republicana-for which we
are duly thankful-and the national ir-
rigation congress to meet at Los An
geles, shows that the cherub that pre-
sides over this great section is in
yielding mood, and with muniticent
abandon is scattering prosperity all over
this Italy of America.
The piles that were too short to use in
our wharf have been hauled to Terminal
island, and will be made use of in the
wharf that the Ganahl Lumber COM
pany will build at that island.
This place has become noted as win
ter sanitarium not only in the interior
OF our own sunny southland, but away
back in the land of billiards its fame
has spread and there are now here
refugees from Wyoming, Colorado,
Dakota, Wisconsin. Illinois and, in fact,
from all the states. The Coloradians,
especially the Denverites, are very par
tial to Long Beach, and it is dollars
against snowballs that Denver push and
capital will yet make Long Beach the
best known and most famous seaside
resort and sanitsrium, winter and sum-
mer, on the continent.
Our eastern visitors who winter here,
especially the ladies who are little
timid, are annoyed whilst fishing from
the end of the pier at being bombarded
and hit by flying fish who apparently
don't like to have their domain intruded
upon by anything in the shape of a
wharf. However, net wire fence en-
closing the end of the pier will do away
with that nuisance.
Long Beach and it's beautiful environs
is receiving more than usual attention
at present from outside capitalists who
have an eye to the perspective, and who
are now here in person or by agent,
seeking investment. Thursday several
gentlemen drove over from Santa Ana.
examining the lands tributary to this
place with view of establishing beet
sugar factory, and Friday Captain Ward
of San Diego, representing steamboat
company, came here and will try to get
wharf facilities for his steamship from
the board of trustees, which meet to-
night, Saturday.

Y, national organizer of the w. o. 7.
u, had large audience to listen to her
eloquent address anent the evils of alco-
hol last Sunday evening at the taber-
nacle. ,u,,
Monday, to Pasadena, to be present at

tleman's parents, who live in that
