The franchise for the Los Angeles Trac-
ton company, on Eighth street. in the
direction of Westlake Park, will be or
dered advertised. as unanimously recon-
mended by the board of public worvs,
and Manager Wood of the new Los An
geles Railway company will appear before
the council to furnish reasons why that
company's unused tracks, principally on
Sixth street. ought not to be removed by
force.
1t is on the cards for the two vacancies
in tine board of police commissioners to
be appointed from among the lis. of half
dozen prominent citizens published in
yesterdays Herald.
There may be some discussion anent the
tax levy and the proposed fence in the
rear of the city hall may provoke snarl,
although why the latter improvement
snould be opposed, even by Los An.
geles councilman, it is hard to state.
Another subject of more or less i'm
p ortancs to be disposed Of today will be
the communication of FricK Bros, the

EAST SIDE PARK
Visited Yesterday by the Largest Crowds In
Its History

Visited Yesterday by the Largest Crowds In
Its History
Yesterday was red-letter day in the
history OF the East side park. 1t was
the first Sunday since the Kuhrts street
limo has been electrioizeo, and thousands
Of people took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to visit the East Side park.
This park is by many people considered
the nandsomest in the city, but owing to
the inadequate transportation facilities it
is comparatively unknown to residents
on the west side of the river, as with the
old horse line it was almost a days
journey to make the round trip, Now,
however, the trip can be made easily and
comfortably. and in the near future the
East Sine park will divide the honors
with Westlake. The cars are not what
they should be, being of the old-style
open pattern, but the electric company
promises to put on a proper equipment
just as soon as the new cars, whicn have
been ordered, arrive. The latter are now
looked for in a few weeks.

Tomorrow will decida whether we

East Side or not. suppose, said a
prominent citizen of Downey avenue, to
a Herald reporter, as they emerged from
the Orpheum theater yesterday afternoon.
''For my part, 1 hope that the police
com missioners will grant it, Of cou rse
they can sell wines and liquors without
it, but l believe it would be better to give
it to them as applied for. There iss NJ o
difference in the moral involved, and by
having it they will be enabled to main
tain a first -class summer and winter re-
sort such as this city has long been in
need Of. Another thing: 1 happen to
know these men pretty we'll. They have
the necessary money to erect anoth r
Raymond hotel in this city, il they are
treated as they should be. and I cannot
think Of better place to erect just such
a hotel than upon the location of their
proposed garden. They Will adorn the
locality in manner betting the project,

hotel upon that site. supplemented bv a
frst-class restaurant, concert hall, botan-
ical and geological garden would 60 very
far toward giving to this city the su-
preme position among the Pacific coast
resorts to which it is justly entitled. The
project is one worthy careful considera-
tion and should not be treated in any
narrow spirit. 1t IS ore in which all
real estate owners and dealers in the city
are interested. 1t is theiL fight. and they.
aided by the Leading citizens. should see
to it that the license Is granted as asked
for. 1t is understood that there will be
no bar or saloon in connection with the
place."
In talking with Mr.. Nannack yesterday
that gentleman stated that he did not
wish it said that the Merchants associa.
tion had taken up his fight as an associa.
tion, but that number of the prominent
m en- bers of the association had become
interested in his license application and
were working with him to secure it.

M. urasset Designed the New Stamp

Philadelphia Ledger: The French gov
ernment offered several prizes last year
stamp. and, after awarding the prizes.
they have since decided that none of the
designs were good enough for actual use.
The ministers of posts and telegraphs
then commissioned M. Grasset, who has a
high reputation for the originality of his
work. He designed several of the "Cen-
tury'' Napoleon posters. which have been
much sought after by poster collectors.
He submitted ten different designs, out
of which one was chosen by the minister.
This represents seated female figure,
symbolic OF France. The figure is attired
in light drapery, and bears in the left
hand fan olive branch, while the right
leans upon the hilt of word. It will be
some months before the new STAMP will
replace the ono now in use.

SUNDAY In the OIL Field

1t is significant fact that out Of 25t
wells in the oil field only few are ope.
rated on Sunday. Yesterday there were
but three pumping plants running and
two drilling rigs. When the industry
first began work was continued day and
night throughout the week. In those days
there was market for oil, and every
moments delay in uneartbing the. valu'
able fluid was held to be great loss.
Now things are different, and the resi-.
dents of that busy neigh borhood are al.
lowed one day out OF the week in which
to recover from the annoyance OF every
day smoke and dust. Only in two Oi
three instances was the prevailing quiet
disturbed, and that was in the spouters.

American 0rindStOneg

New York World: A discovery has been
made in South Dakota which will give
EN- mployment to thousands of people in
the United States and keep in tins ooun-
try many millions of dollars. The new
industry Is that of making the finer
grades Of grindstones. which have hith-
erto been imported from England. Bavaria
and France. Quarries of stone have been
recently found which supply stone equal
to the finest grade imported. Specimens
of the grindstones have been submitted
to all the well-known experts, who have
agreed that no better grade of stone is in
existence.
For the higher class of grinding. such
as fine cutlery. razors. surg cal instru-
ments, ETC.. stone is required which
will cut quickly, so as not to take the
temper out of the steel. This is work for
which the new stone is peculiarly fitted.
Some beds OF the stone are so hard as to
supply the place of emery wheels. One
firm of machinists in New England has
given orders 10 their London agent not
to buy any more grindstones. They
consider that the American stone is per-
fectly adapted to their needs. The supply
is practically inexhaustible. At present
the stone is no cheaper tnan the i'm
ported article, even with the 20 per cent
duty added.
