Notes.
TERMINAL ISLAND, Sept. 16.-The mel
ancholy days that are bothering the
other seaside resorts by already having
come, are unknown here at this cosy
little resort, and there is more good So
cial fun to the square inch, and more
ways than you can shake stick at to
find enjoyment, and more people COM
ing and taking advantage OF ell its pos
sibilities than the average attendance
at all the other places combined.
The damage caused by the fire in the
coal of the Crescent Coal compsny's
pile will not be large, SO men were kept
busy day and night removing the coal
from the burning pile to other places.
Seme 25 or 80 tons will cover the
amount lost.
The three-masted schooner Little Bon
ME is at the Ganahl Lumber company's
wharf unloading $50, 900 feet OF redwood
lumber.
Select parties from Los Angeles and
interior towns come here frequently for
the express purpose OF enjoying the fish
dinners served at the pavilion.
Shells in multitudes are etrewn up
and down the beach for long way, and
are eagerly sought for by shell lovers
and conchologists. Low tide is the time
to get them, and. many valuable speci-
mems are secured and borne away in
triumph by the lucky ones.
The new railroad that is headed this
way (the San Francisco & Atlantic rail-
way company will terminate at this
port, and from my information will be
pushed along as soon az the govern.
ment makes the appropriation that
soon will be asked for. A delay on the
appropriation for the harbor recon-
mended by the United States engineers
will retard the growth Of not only all
of Los Angeles county, but of every
other county In Southern California as
we'll. The road will have another name
when 1t reaches here.
An unearthly Growing startled the
peaceful denizens of this beautiful isle
Of the sea from their pious medi.ations
last Thursday, which upon being inves
tigated turned out to emanate from
Billy Edwards, Dick Mcknight and Joe
Burniller OF the Rooster baseball club
Los Angeles, who were down working
off superfiuous steam by racing up and
down the beach. The boys wish to dc
100 yards inside of IL seconds, 30 as tc
be safe stealing bases in their game with
the San Diego Pullets October 14th, but
they realize the work they have to do,
as the best time made Thursday wac by
Dick Mcknight, who made it in 1879
seconds.
A great number of Angelefios. unable
