CAMP, THE COACH.
The Father of Football Is Again in

Walter Camp, the Stanford coach.

land, direct from New Haven. Mr. Camp
is accompanied by his wife and little child.
They are at present stopping at the Cali
fornia Hotel. Tomorrow they will leave
for Palo Alto, where he will take charge
of the coaching OF the football eleven.
This is the second visit that Mr.. Camp
has paid San Francisco. He coached the
Stanford team two years ago. when the
Palo Alto boys thought that they saw de-
feat staring them 10 the face, but, through
the tact and skill of the coach, Stanford
was able 10 tie the game.

When Mr.. Camp was interrogated as to
what be thought of the new rules he de-
clared tnat they were great Improvement
over the old ones, though he remarked
that it was difficult to give an accurate
opinion. as the new code had not yet been
fairly tested.

though we had very few severe injuries
under the old rules, yet the people were

Moreover, under the old system it
afforded one side the opportunity to pick
out the best men of their opponents
and send all their wedges against these
star men and lay them up or tire them
out. This year such playing is entirely
eliminated from the game.

by CAPTAIN Downing. Walton fumbled
the ball badly and was tackled by Thomas.
The opposing elevens now came face to

of TWO yards, and then old Buck White

POMONA is ALL RIGHT.

Her Citizens Raise MONEY for tho Mid
Prof. Molyneaux OF Pomona yesterday
sent $500 to the chamber OF commerce as
a contribution to the county midwinter
fair fund. All this amsunt was raised by
him by popular subscription.
Some time ago the board of trade OF
that city, in answer to request by the
chamber of commerce for them to help
defray the expenses of the county ex-
hibit, stated that they would be unable
to raise any money.
Pomona had been given an advan-
tsgeous amount of space for use as a
locality exhibit in the Southern Califor-
mia building. and when this answer was
received it created quite an unfavoraole
impression regarding that place.
No further attempt was MADE to raise
any more money until the matter came
to the notice of Prof. Molyneaux of the
Pomona schools. He went to work, and
by dint of appealing to local pride, en-
terprise and every other sentiment, WAS
able to gather up $500, which he handed
over to the chamber of commerce.

doing the right thing, and it is q case of

be to "take the bull by the horns" and
do so. Why wonld IL not be advisable
for this question to be taken up by one
of our representative commercial bodies
and iutelligently discussed? Perhaps it
would be also well to submit the ques-
tion to a vote of the people ct the next
election. We should not lose our chance
to secure q deep-sea harbor If there lie
any possible way in which we can bring
our people to harmonic upon the ques-
tion OF throwing our united influence in

THE DEEP-sEA HARBoR QUESTION.

Senator Sawyer, in the interview pub.
lshed in yesterdays HERALD-and mis-
declaration is reite rated by General AL
ger-says that as long as the people
here are divided on the subject of the
location of a deep-sea harbor. we need
not expect congress to make an appro-
priation by which We can get hsrbor
at either of the points contending for it.
Here is adifficulty which is easier to state
than to overcome. There are two can
didates for the harbor-San Pedro and
Santa Monics-And each LAS friends
who are deeply interested in ita success.
II there were any compromise possible,
harmony might be brought about. The
San Pedro people point to the fact that
two sets OF government engineers have
determined that their point is the one
which should be selected. The Santa
Monica advocates point to the fact that
the Southern Pacific railroad has shown
its faith in the advantages OF that local
ity because it has built a stupendous
sea-wharf there and transferred its
ocean business from San Pedro, where
it had large property interests, to
Santa Monica, where it had very
little. The friends of both places
stand pat on their showing. and
the contention seems irreconcilable.

SINGLE TAKERS MOVING
TREY ARE PREPARING FOR A
VERY VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
A Meeting TO BE Hsid-A Constitution
and Bylaws Adopted-The
Plan of the dub
Outlined.

The single tax movement started in
this city about q mouth ago seems to be
steadily and in fact rapidly forging
ahead. The membership OF the club has
increased 200 per cent in the past ten
days, number Of well-known business
and professional men being in the list.
At business meeting of the club held
last night at the office OF T. d. Stimson,
treasurer, the permanent organization
was perfected by the adoption Of by
laws and rules OF order.
1t was decided unanimously to open q
vigorous CO campaign of education, to not
only include this city but to reach out
all over the county. To this end ar
rangem ents will speedily be made for
holding public meetings. organizing
auxiliary clubs and circulating literature
in every town in the county, as people
OF all classes are eager for more light on
the great question of taxation.
The HERALD's recent editorials on the
subject have done much toward stirring
up the people to investigation. Mem
bers Of the club will also lay before the
public important statistics taken from
the county records, which they claim
will be unanswerable arguments in favor
OF the single tax system OF raising pub
lie revenue. In q few weeks the club
will introduce to this community Louis
F. Post, the official lecturer, who is now
drawing crowded houses in the east
and making hundreds of converts TO the
faith. 1t is expected, also, that Henry
George will be heard by Los Angeles
audience ere long.
On Monday evening. March 18th, at
the free public meeting in Unity church,
the audience will be entertained with
instrumental and vocal music by Miss
Louisa Schmidt, Mrs. w. D. Hinckley
and the Dsrcy sisters. The address by
Marion W. Conkl;ng, assistant dis
trict attorney, will be followed by gen.
eral discussion.
Mr.. Oonkling will discuss the single
tax entirely from the standpoint of
moral law, and will contend not only
that the single tax fulflls the moral
law, but that existing laws upon. the
subject of taxation are incentives to
crime and immortality; that existing
laws violate the commandment, Thou
shalt not steal;" that the single tax
doctrine is one of the highest and purest
Christianity; that man, and not God, is
TO blame for what is wrong in existing
conditions. and that such conditions are
the result of ignoring the moral law in
I he consideration Of political questions.
That the doctrine that "God wills it"
has no correct application to the exist
ing condition, but, that the teaching OF
such doctrine is what makes the poor
unbelievers, while the rich crowd the
churches. that 'every political ques-
tion is a moral question" and that there
will be no millennium until we make our
civil institutions conform to the moral
law
Everybody is invited to attend and to
ask questions if so disposed.

The friends OF the late Ex-Governor

ne did it mas not been found. The ex-
governor was a very strict business man,
and although he was considered close
listed in money matters, he was emulous
of fame. and those who knew him best
believed that when he came TO wind up
his worldly affairs he would literally
remember some of our public institu-
tions, and associate his name with some
pubic beneiaction that would keep it
green long after his death. He always
expressed deep interest in the Sisters
orphan asylum, and it WAS thought that
il any great and deserving charity WAS
to be benefited by him, it would be that.
Governor Downey was a peculiar man.
AS the executive of this state he made
a splendid reputation, and one OF
which he was justly proud. No one
knew better than he that il he aeso-
ciated his name with some great public
benefaction by leaving . portion OF his
enormous wealth to education or
charity, his posthumous fame wonld be
enhanced and his memory be perpetu-
atsd in the public mind. He was just
the man to look forward to such fame
with extreme qualification. He left an
estate which will undoubtedly Gppraiss
at 81, 100000. All OF it was made right
hero. His pride of place was great.
His state patriotism was undoubted,
and it seems impossible to hia friends
that he should not, when he was in
contemplative mood and reflected upon
the trsnsitory illusions of political fame,
have desired to rest his reputation upon
some act OF striking benevolence that
would have carried his name swestly
down the centuries.

The current season is in many re-

as Los Angeles county is concerned tn at

HERALD last September stated that
we would have a dry year, and
advised the farmers to plough and SOW
early in order to reap the full benefit of
the rstrenched rainfall. This ssgacious
counsel was followed very generally, with
the happiest results. In the San Joa-
quin valley this season the unirrigated
crops will be failure. While this 10 to
be regretted, it will add to the value of
the wheat, barley and grain which will
be garnered by our own grangers, thus
