NORTH PASADENA
Discussing the Proposition Of Joining the City
of Pasadena

PASADENA. May 4.-The people of
North Pasadena are evidently awake to
the advantage of being within an incor-
porated city, call having been made
for meeting on Monday, the 9th inst,
at pm. at the Washington school build
ing. when the matter of uniting with
Pasadena will be discussed.
At the recent meeting called by the
people of Altadena to consider the matter
of Incorporating, North Pasadena was
well represented and the almost unani-
nous voice of that meeting was in favor
of annexation to Pasadena, though there
was some difference of opinion as to
whether the time had come for such
action, some few maintaining that North
Pasadena could get along very well for
some time to come without the additional
advantages secured by incorporation,
especially since this involves additional
taxes.
However it is said by those who have
been making inquiries among the resi-
dents of our northern suburb that the
sentiment in favor of union with Pasa-
dena has been growing steadily. and it
is now quite generally conceded that the
benefits to be secured, such as good street
Improvements, sprinkling, lighting, po-
licce and fire departments and free mail
delivery, will more than counterbalance
the slight additional tax.

PASADENA. May 4.-Cars are now
running regularly on the electric road to
Los Angeles, and many are already avail.
ing themselves of this method of reaching
the city. although the patronage OF the
road will be very largely increased when
it is more generally known that it is now
in regular operation throughout the
length of the line.
The entire road has been operated from
the Pasadena power house since yester--
day, and although the work of construc.
tion is not yet complete at the power
house the machinery is all in place, and
the finishing touches can be applied later.
The roof is not even entirely constructed
over the great building that houses the
machinery, nor is the cement floor laid.
not to speak of many other projected and
necessary matters of construction, yet the
machinery is running apparently as
smoothly as could be desired on its
foundations of stone and cement, indie
pendent of roof or floor.
There are three boilers of the Sterling
pattern and two Cross compound condens-
ing engines of $40 and 800 horse power
respectively. The three dynamos are of
500 volts pressure each, one being the
Westinghouse multipolar, the other two
the Edison bi-polar dynamos of the latest
and most improved patterns.
The building for housing the cars is
still incomplete, but is sufficiently ad-
vnced in construction to show its i'm
mense size, and after viewing the cars it
is evident that very large building is
required to contain them. They look al
most like railroad cars as they come fly
ing up the street. the bell ringing loudly,
frightening horses which are not used to
such huge street cars. That this line will

accession to Pasadena's population goes
without saying-in fact, it is said that
several families that had made arrange
ments to locate in Los Angeles have al
ready changed their minds and will sattle
in Pasadena instead. owing to the con-
venlence of the electric load, by which
they can go and come at all hours of the
day and evening.
The opening Of the road is to be cele-
brated in an informal way on Monday
afternoon, when the city council and
prominent citizens of Los Angeles will be
brought up to Hotel Green in special
car, where they will meet the city officials
and few representative citizens of Fasa-
dena.

DR.. Walter Lindley of Los Angeles and

The electric road will run a special car
for the Throop students every morning

them from Los Angeles, and it is the in.

AT SANTA ANA
A Multitude of Rumors Chasing Around the
Orange County Seat

A Multitude Of Rumors Chasing Around the
Orange County Seat
SANTA ANA, MAY 4.-There seem to
be more uncertain rumors floating around
this city that no one seems to know the
straight of than was ever known before.
First it is rumored that the Southern Pa
cific Railway company has bought the
franchise of the Santa Ana, Orange and
Tustin Street Railway company, and a
connecting line will be built between this
city and Long Beach. And then it is
said the Blade Publishing Company has
sold out to some one from some place, but
no one seems able to substantiate the
facts, and SO it goes. 1t is certainty
that there are grounds for the rumor that
the Southern Pacific Company has gotten
hold of the street railway company for
the reason that the time tables of the
Tustin and Orange lines have been
ing trains on the Southern Pacific road
and Southern Pacific tickets are sold
from Tustin to Los Angeles over the
street car line and the Southern Pacific
road for the same that is charged from
this city to Los Angeles. This new time
card goes into effect Monday morning.
The more the people talk about the
paving of the street car line the more
they become divided on the subject. 1t
is not q one-sided question by any means.
The shoitess way out of the difficulty is
to allow the street car company to go
ahead and pave according. to their own
plans, which is to tamp the cement, clay
and gravel from near Tustin in their car
track for foundation, and then put on
two-inch layer of asphaltum. If this
proves to be nuisance the CITY can or
der it done over again, and if the street
railway company don't comply with the
order of the board the city can do the
work and charge 1t up to the road If any
part of that portion already paved proves
a failure the city will have to father it
and make god any defects that may here
after appear, while the street car company
has to loot its own bills. The property
owners have voluntarily done what is
done and now ask the city to compel the
railway company to do as they have
done, while the property owners got
five years guarantee, but the same con
tractor would not guarantee the street car
track five minutes paved with the same
material.

Ii there is any one endowed with com mon, everyday sense, who has not heard of this wonderful artist and this great company. we have yet to hear theirname. It's not ourintention to make money out of this special engagement, for so great are the eX- penses that if the Opera-house be packed both at the matinee and night performance, the receipts would not cover the outlay. Simply and only to show what we are capable of doing and that our intentions are good, is our purpose in presenting Corinne to a Pine Bluff audience. 1t now remains to be seen whether our people will appreciate this enterprise. One thing is certain, and that IS there never has been nor will there be again, for long time. such an attraction in this Opera-house. Thls class of combinations play, as rule, only in large cities, except when special inducements are held out to them as on this occasion. The con- pany goes direct from here to Den yer, Col.

 The production of "Hendrick Hud- son, as presented by this company, has proven by its long run in Chicago, New York, Boston and other large cities, to he the most con spicuous and attractive successes of the season. It is conceded by musical critics that Corinne is one of the finest lady mandolin soloists in the United States. She is an accom- plished musician and has made the mandolin a study. Aside from Corinne's own performance. there is a wealth of attractions in "Hendrick Hudson" There are original and amusing specialties, and every cos tune and all the scenery for this pro duction were expressly made for this season.
