the value to health of the pure liquid

1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid"
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
,ling them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

SENATOR CULLOM PLEASED
A Reception Will Be rendered Him
Tonight
Familiar With the Reports Yet Had No Idea OF
the Full Extent of the Harbor
Possibilities

Senator Shelby M. Cullom looking
hearty and well, was seen yesterday alter
noon at the Westminster hotel.
On Saturday the senator and his party
visited San Pedro. travelling there in
special car. At that point the distin-
guished gentleman and his family"
boarded the tug Warrior and the waters of
the inner harbor were traversed and gem
orally explored. In the evening the party
reached Pasadena and Echo mountain,
spending an interesting time with Profes-
sor Lowe and his satellites. The senator
reached Los Angeles again yesterday aft
ernoon Today he will. visit Santa Mont

an informal reception that will be ten

Der of commerce, at the Chamber of Com

which Illinois people are especially in
vited to be present. Tomorrow the sena-
tor and his party will go to San Diego
and will return via Redlands, Riverside
and other citrus growing cities.
Asked whether or not deep water har-
boz could be constructed at San Pedro for
the sum of money estimated by the gov
eminent engineers. Senator Cul ON said :

deep water harbor, and the Improvement

ports that have been made regarding San

the harbor possibilities that exist there.
In my opinion deep water harbor, three
miles long can be obtained at San Pedro
by the expenditure of a very small sum
of money.
The members of the chamber of COM

Chamber of Commerce building. will ten
der Senator Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois
a reception.
The character OF the affair will be very
informal and the senator will make no
speech. No programme is arranged, or
wished for, but the occasion will be a
most interesting one. and our merchants
will no doubt avail themselves of the OBJ
portunity to be present and to see the
distinguished and able statesman VINO,
it is believed, is so interested in the well
fare of California and the Pacific coast.
People from Illinois are especially in

is giving its attention, time and ability
toward the building of a competing line
into that city, and which has been inves-
tigating the plan proposed by railroad
men to build road from San Diego to
Salt Lake City by selling the stock to rail
road employees all over the United States,
has reported favorably on the proposition
to raise $4,000 to properly set forth the en-
terprise. The report among other things
says:
We heartily endorse the movement and
pledge it our earnest support. sub
committee consisting of two mem bers
from each of the professions, of business
men and county officers was appointed to
raise the $4,000 needed to properly adver-
tise the scheme. and they will go to work
at once. The proposition is to sell stock
in the company at zen dollars share,
payable fifty cents month, and no man
to hold over $500 worth of stock. This
stock is to be sold among the railroad men
of the country and the money raised each
month to be used in construction only.

men in that city have interested them
