THE ENTERPRISES OF THE FUTURE.
The possible enterprises to build up
Los Angeles and realize some OF our rose
oolorsd expectations are numerous.
Among these may be cited the follow
ing:
a. A railroad come otion at or near Mo-
| iave with the Nevada system of railroad
at OVENS lake. This would require
about 100 miles of railroad with no great
!
| fit Nevada, Eastern California and Los
| Angeles,
b. A railroad connection with the
Utah system, probably near Phoebe.
This would require railroad OF about
15O miles to connect with the graded
roadbed of the Union Pacific system on
one side and Blake's Southern Nevada
to the Santa Fe on the other.
This scheme, probably from its great
importance, has been proposed on
many plans. One OF them was etarted
from this end by the Los Angeles Term
inal.
c. A third railroad is that suggested
to 60 into the San Joaquin valley. This
would benefit all concerned, and
amopgst others the Southern Pacific by
breaking down it's narrow and trade
throttling policy.
d. The coast road, now nearing com
pletion, will benefit Los Angeles con-
siderRbly.
Q. A mail carrying line of emal
modern steamers to Mexico and Centra
America ports has been suggested. Fo
such line steamers that could ente
the present harbor of San Pedro woult
be necessary. Besides saving the car
) riage to San Francisco and back by raj

bananas. coffee, etc., this route woult

WHERE DRAINAGE IS NEEDED.
Few Facts That May BE OF Interest
IN the Couutr S,,,u,r,fs.fonerx

A Few Facts That May BE OF Interest
TO the County Commissioners.
Editor Morning News: soald call at
tention TO the msanitsry condition Of
that section OF Chatham county lying be-
tween Montgomery, White Blur. Beau
lieu and Bethesda. IN which an excessive
amount Of water having accumulated in
the low places and being stagnant offers
constant menace to the health Of these
villages, the orphans at Bethesda. and the
numerous population Of negroes In their
vicinity.
Several years ago the county. with its
convict labor, drained this section, but Ow-
Ing to the trampling OF cattle and the ac-
emulation OF trash. the drains have be-
come clogged. and in consequences there
Is an unusual amount Of stag
nant water standing In the low
lands. ALREADY there are several
cases OF fever and ague in the neigh
borhood and there is great danger Of Sc
rious sickness from malarial fevers, un-
less this evil is remedied. In one or two
weeks a force of twenty OF twenty-five
hands can afford an outlet for this ac-
cumulation, by clearing and reopenipg
the old bitches, of which there now exists
about $500 feet, discharging into the Yer
non river between Montgomery and Beau
lieu. ms work should be done at once,
as the situation is serious. By the open
ing of the old drains temporary relief at
least VIII be afforded and much sickness
avoided, which now threatens all in this
section, including the Bethesda orphans.
have been Informed by civil engi-
neer, one who knows the facts, that the
work on the drains on the occasion be-
fore named was not completed. as the
force was removed to do some special work
elsewhere. My informant further said
that had the force devoted one more week
to the work they would have completed
system of drainage sufficient to remove the
water from this entire section.
Could our worthy county commission
ers be induced to postpone the compile
ton of the work on the rifle range, which
could well be done, as it Is of much less
importance than a measure for the pres
ervation of the health and lives Of citi-
zens of the county, the convicts there en-
ployed could very quickly do what is nee
essary to remove this serious menace TO
the health of populous section, and the
commissioners would thereby merit and
receive the thanks of a grateful people.
Members of the board of county COM
mis- sioners have been urged by citizens of
Montgomery to do something for them in
the way of drainage this summer, but
they say they have mapped out all the
work they can do and the people must
wait.

and laid fiat on my back and suffered
the most excrucisting agonies, screaming in

months Of this kind Of agony, during
which time my entire ieft legperished away

q new remedy called DR.. Williams Pink

who was relieved of locomotor ataxia Of

repeated solicitation consented to give

pills and kept right on improving until I

The people of st. Augustine are very
anxious to have the city bonded so that
they may have waterworks and paved
streets, but, unfortunately for them, judg-
ing by the opinion of prominent attorney
of the city the hands of the city fathers
are tied, so that all they can do is to sit
and suck their thumbs until the next legis-
lature. This lawyer quotes from the laws
of the state of Florida (amended chartet

boat caused the sail to jibe and in other

the head by a large pompano, which, hay-

Termination to quit his natural element

acknowledges that the last shock came
near unnerving him, and says that during
a residence of twenty years he has never
seen manatees so far up Indian river.

came the teams were driven down the
western end of the lot, and the first one
turned up the inclined plane to reach the
street. After Hansen had turned the first
shovelful of sand and pitched it into the
wagon his co-workers dug into the soil and
soon had shoveled into the wagon as much
as the four horses could pull. The driver
cracked his whip, yelled "Gei up, there !;
you, Jake" the four willing horses threw
themselves into their collars, the wheels
of the wagon turned and the first load of
soil from the site was moving up the grade
and was soon on its way toward the place
where it and other loads that followed
were deposited.
All day long, during the working hours
of the day, the wagons came empty and
went away loaded, and at knocking off
time a very perceptible excavation bad
been made. This work will be continued
uninterruptedly until an even depth of
fifteen feet below the official street grade
has been reached, ana then other me-
chanics will commence to lay the heavy
foundation that is to receive the structure
that is to rise higher than any other in the
City.
The breaking of ground was witnessed
by a large number of citizens who ex-
pressed much favorable comment on the
great work to be carried on there and on
the enterprise of THE CALL.
During the day q high, substantial fence
was erected around the lot, and the work.
men were shut out from the view of the
passers-by, but it will not be long before
the walls will rise above that fence, and
then those who pass will be able to see the
tall tower rise, story by story, until it
reaches the summit on which the grand
dome will rest.

WARFARE IN DEMOCRACY
Buckley's Plan to Call the
General Committee a
Boomerang.
Deuprev's Committees Plan Of Re-
organization VIII Leave the
Ex-Ross Out.

Rucklev's effort to secure control OF the
local Democracy has stirred up all those
opposed to Buckleyism, and 1t Is probable
that they will make things lively ID very
short time for the ex-boss.
As long as Buckley sat on his imaginary
throne at the Occidental Club rooms
listening to the fattery OF his crowd no.
body ma id any particular attention TO him.
But Thursday last at his meeting ne .: an
nounced that he would make final effort
TO l.bunkoo the Democratic party once
more. The method selected was TO trans
fer the Iroouois Club at once 10 Buckley,
and then get out a petition which the
mem bers OF the general committee WouId
be required to sign calling meeting 0i
that body for some time ABOUT OctoOeI ~
TOT. j. Flynn and Sam Newman were
entrusted the details of the calling OF the
committee, and they at once set lot OF
men peddling their petition. fIynn tooK
il round town himself for few hours IN a
buggy Then Dundon took II ana tnen
Newman.
This step threatens serious consequences
to Bucklev's followers. The last munich
pal convention authorized its chairman 70
appoint committee OF twenty-five rom
the members Of the convention TO 1ormu-
late and carry into effect plan Tor reor-
ganizing the Democracy.
Acting upon this, Chairman Deuprey
appointed a committee of twenty-five, COM
posed of representative men VINO have an
antipathy to Buckley and Buckleylsm.
Buckeyes recent action has impressed
upon this committee the necessity for i'm
mediate action. The Democrats opposed
to Buckley do not wish to have him
thwarted in his efforts 10 convene the gen.
eral committee. What they want is test
vote in the committee TO show who are
with the ex-boss and who are not. The
record will be kept and the Deuprey COM
mittee, in which is vested the only au-
thority to reorganize the party, viii know
what material they may make use of out
of the membership OF the general COM
mittee.
1t is claimed that the work of the Deu-
prey committee viii be recognized by the
State Central Committee, which is the final
court OF determination as to the organiza-
ton to which they will issue their call for
election OF delegates to the State Conven-
ton. The leaders of the State committee
have been sounded on this matter and
they are unanimously in favor OF the Deu-
prey committee.
The decision OF the Supreme Court in
the Non-Partisan party case will prevent
Buckley or any other faction from using
the name OF Democratic" on their tickets.

Under those circumstances the tesla

shall allege that the letter or will as they
claim it to be is a forgery pure and simple !;
and, instead of being found in bottle
tossed off the deck of a sinking steamship
in 1875, was written only short time ago,
and that the accession OF Mrs. Parsons

the sole object and purpose Of the forgery.
1t was a clumsy piece OF worK at that.
