SANTA BARBARA. Aug. 24.-With
the advancing reputation of this city as
a seaside resort follows the development
of otner interesting sports in this county.
Travel is fast i'm proving and cosy camp.
ing places erstwhile almost inaccessible
can now be easily reached, while the
area of Santa Barbara county today
embraces many new points for recreation
and amusement.
The great success of Catalina island as
summer resort has created a desire to
make similar use of one of our channel
islands which are such favorite camping
places. Santa Cruz island, owned by a
San Francisco company. being the best
adapted for this purpose, Justinian Caire.
the president. has gene to Catalina in
order to obtain just conception of plans
and details. Santa Cruz lies across the
channel twenty five miles from this city,
contains 81, 760 acres, aboun6s with sub.
lime views, wonderful rock formations
and grand natural advantages, while the
shores are rich with fine fishing. multi
tudes of seals and mammoth caverns.
In one of the many picturesque canyons
the owners propose to erect an elegant
hotel and imp prove the site at q vast ex.
pense with a view OF surprising all other
resorts, but the lpartculars will not be
known until Mr.. Cares return from
Catalina.
The northern part of the county also
enjoys increased opportunities for pleas

from Los Olivos, Los Alamos and the
Santa Maria valley to the beach at Pismo
and Oceano, where one may enjoy
dance at the pavilion, swim, a walk on
the veranda or along a fine beach and
free clam chowder.
A force of men is at work this side of
Gaviota on the railroad gap between the
Santa Maria valley and Ellwood. Sound
ings for bridges are being made. activity
prevails at both ends and long -hoped-f for
advantages are certain to come. AS the
Guadaloupe Reporter we'll says: "Wnen
the gap is closeo, what grand ride of
200 miles will be opened from Ventura to
Paso Robes. Gliding through garden
fields, leaping yawning chasms. plowing
through deep cuts. pluDging into gloomy
tunnels, the towering mountains ever
full OF interest on one sice. the solemn
sea on the other" So Santa Barbara
county is taking rapid strides toward re-
noWn, ltS natural beauties are receiving
more attention. visitors are steadily on
the increase and silurianism is gradually
fading fIom view.
Recent reports concerning two different
projects for new bath houses on our water
front indicate that the spirit Of improve
ment is not confined to the country.
Although the names of the promoters of
the late enterprise have not been made
public, enough has leaked out to confirm
the rumor that local capitalists and Port
Inspector Fred Forbush have decided TO
put up $l5, 900 establishment below Dib-
ble's hill, with all the latest facilities in
plunges. hrafts and accom- m odatiUns.
The olive oil pyramid which distin-
guished this county at the midwinter fair
has been shipped in sections to Atlanta.
Georgia, where it will be reconstructed
and placed on exhibition at the exp osi-
ton.
In the superior court yesterday the trial
OF Theodoseo Bonilla for assaulting an
officer was suddenly interrupted BY the
discovery that:Antonio Figueroa was not
an officer at the time when the defendant
inflicted injuries upon him. The sup
posed officer has been acting as deputy
constable at Los Aimos, but the attorneys
for Bonila ascertained that the instru-
ment which purported to confer this su-
thority was void on the grounds that it
railed to designate the number of the
township and the name Of the county.
Otherwise the prosecution had strong
case and felt certain of sending Bonilla
to state prison, but this technicality saved
him, for the court promptly ordered the
discharge Of the prisoner.
Coming entertainments are the carnival
de commerce at the opera house, a concert
at the Christian church. a ball by Castle
Rock lodge No. 151, K. of P. at Channel
city nall, and series of concerts by the
Philharmonic society.
