ment Of Oil-New Planning Mill
Ready for Work

SAN PEDRO. Feb. 23.-The San Pedro
Literary Association gave an entertain
ment at Twinford's hall last evening
in honor Of Washington's birthday.
The stage was decorated with the Am
erican flag. Mr.. Newton Gore, repre-
senting George Washington, appeared
before the footlights prior to the pro.
gram and spoke upon the hero of
America, George Washington, touch
ing upon his lifs in way that inspired
the large audience with a feeling of
true patriotism.
Miss Edna Foy of Los Angeles, vio-
linist, received rounds Of applause and
responed with an encore.
Mr.. Charles Clark, the we'll known
Los Angeles vocalist, pleased his at
tentive listeners so we'll that they in
sisted upon An encore.
Miss Mabsl Leyser of Los Angeles
won the audience with her piano play
ing; for she is only 10 years old, but
her playing is worthy an artist of ma
turer years.
The balance of the program was pre-
sented by home talent, the vocalists
embracing Mrs. George 81. Peck, Mrs.
Capt. d. w. Weldt, G. G. Niles and
Charles Williams.
One of the features of the evening
was that each one of the audience was
rendered souvenir in the shape Of a
little hatchet. The non-appearance of
Thomas Barnes of Los Angeles, owing
to hia cuddan illuaaa cauaed much
regret.
just as Mr.. and Mrs. John N. Mall
grew we're about to leave their residence
last evening to go to the literary enter
tainment ut Swinford's hall. They
were accosted by large gathering of
friends, who. escorted them over to
Svea hall. and before they could real
ize what had happened they found
themselves the victims of a pleasant
surprise party. Dancing was INDUCED
in, after which supper was spread in
the hall.
The first carload of oil arrived here
yesterday from Los Angeles, to be
transferred by water to San Francisco
on the bark Enoch Talbot, which is
now moored alongside tho Southern
Pacific company's wharf in readiness to
receive her cargo.

satisfactory. Tuesday the mill will be
ready for active operations.

POLITICIANS WILL SUFFER

The life of the professional politi-
clan will be anything but pleasant in
Milwaukee, Wis, this spring. He will
have to face something besides the
questions Of practical politics." What
between the Municipal league, the
Citizens league, the Civic federation
and the Personal Liberty league, a
candidate for municipal Office will
have an exciting time. Out of it all,
however, the city is likely to be the
gamer. or all the factors that
will influence the result in the COM
ing election the Municipal league
is among the foremost. The league has
outlined its aims for the campaign.
They are concentrated on three things:
A law to prevent the further gratuitous
grant of franchises, the repeal of the
street railway tax exemption and cor.
rupt practices act to check the i'm
proper use of money at elections. The
league will support such men for office
as will work for these reforms. or the
three the most important to the tax
payer is the second. By clever lobby
ing at Madison last winter the Milwau
kee street railway was able to secure
the passage of law exempting the
real estate Of the company from taxa
ton, and in place of this the company
pays percentage on it's gross income.
BY this change its taxes have been cut
down over one-half. In its ad-
dress, just issued, the Municipal league
points ont that it now costs from So 900
10 $4,000 day to pay the running
expenses Of the city; that every man
who owns house pays at least quar-
ter of the rent which he could or does
receive in taxes; that the great and un-
deniable advantages of Milwaukee are
seriously counteracted by the effect of
high taxes on outside capital. 1t is
pointed out that the poor especially,
who own only their modest homes, are
oppressed by taxation. as every dollar
of their property lies bare to the gaze
of the assessor, while men of great
wealth escape in great degree by in
vestipg their money elsewhere, leaving
the burdens to be borne by those in
moderate circumstances. 1t is this
class, the league holds, that is directly
. interested in economy in the admins
tration of the city government, and to
this class it appeals.-Chicago Times
