TERMINAL ISLAND. April 14.-An ma
ture seems TO share in the rejoicing that
is visible on the countenance of all the
people here, ON both sides OF the bay,
over the splendid Endorsement given by
the chamber OF commercs OF this Tree
port as the place for the deep sea harbor.
About every body down this way who
could get away has been up to Angel
vile all the week la heataing. The ies'
tivGl has been a good thing all around.
Peoples minds have been taken off the
brooding over hard times and they have
been getting acquainted with each other
and ENJOYING Themselves. Besides all
this, it has put lots OF money in circu-
lation, and the aftermath is bound to
be beneficial to all. Viva la fiesta.
The number Of visitors at this early
8 taRe oflthe season who are coming to
this rapidly.pushed-to to .the-front resort is
something phenomenal and presages a
season OF unexampled prosperity. When
the auperlative attractions of the place
are taken into consideration, the cause
Of the rush 10 explained, and it takes no
prophet to predict that Messrs. Gilbert
g. Larraway, the genial proprietors, will
be the two busieet boniiaces on the coast
| this season.
Wednesday night, the 18th. the second
OF the pavilion hops takes place, and o
great crowd OF society people from Los
Angeles and nearby places will be at It,.
The Terminal will run special, as they
did at the opening hop, 40 Angele1os
can get back TO town in time for break
fast. A good band has been engaged,
and the affair will be very swell"
Mrs. T. NJ. Gilbert and daughter
Hilda have been in attendance at the
festivities in Los Angeles ell the week.
Conductor Jimmy Halstead and En-
gineer Steve Graves are rival athletes
who are continually trying for suprem-
acy at something or other. Last sea-
son they had @ swimming match, the
loser to pay for game supper, and the
| referee decided it dead heat, and as
the supper had been prepared, both
men had to pungle up their pro rata.
This decision stuck in their craws, as
they were both losers on the deal, 90 to
settle tffe business they have made q
| like wager Oh the result OF a bicycle
race to bs run in two weeks from day OF
signing articles, which will make it
April oath. The only stipulation in the
agreement 10 that neither Gilbert or
Larraway shall be chosen as referee.
B. J. McGrew, late Terminal ticket
agent at Long Beach, has been secured
by the Crescent Coal company to look
after their interests here ON the Island.
Both Mac and the company are to be
congratulated on this deal, as it will be
mutually beneficial.
The piles in the coal company's
wharf are being encased in cement, to
prevent ravRges OF the toredo.
The three -masted schooner +. 8. Red
field, Captain Birkholm, from Port
Blakeley, with 800. 900 feet of pine, 10
at the Ganahl company's wharf about
'STHhnsscfha Thne Schooner Antelope, from UoquilIa
river, is also at the same wharf dis
charging
The barkentine Eureka, from Eurkea,
with several hundred thousand feet OF
prime lumber for the same company, is
now due and will be in early in the
week.
The fish canning company has force
at work, although not running at it's
full capacity.
The Willamette Lumber company of
Redondo will coon be removed to this
island, and from all we can learn, the
extension of the Terminal wharf, to
accommodate the fish canning COM
pany's building, will soon be under
wav.
The several specials run over the Ter
minal during the tie ia were we'll pat
ronized.
There can be no question but that this
will be the one great resort when the
Santa Fe gets 20 running in here. ~.
The manly spirit evinced by Redondo
in demanding fair play for this place re.
bounds to the credit of that chivalrous
seaside city.
