Visitors Continue to Arrive-Lifs at Camu
Banning

AVALON. Aug. 20.-The crowds con-
tinue to arrive and one can hardly keep
pace with events happening every
twenty-four hours.
The private craft, or tramp boat, the
Dawn came in the bay and anchored
with about ten passengers aboard, last
evening at dusk.
Fishing is excellent. The staging to
Little Harbor is the trip of the island.
Rob Parsons, Harry Rownds of Kan
sas City, Allen S. Brown and Teda Max
well are comfortably situated in tent
cottage on the hill overlooking the bay.
The Whittier cadets, who have drilled
each afternoon at Camp Banning, de-
serve great credit for being go persever-
ing In their work. They drill like old
soldiers and almost to man rival
Frenchmen in their manners The peo-
pie of Avalon will regret to see them
leave. They have played baseball and
football with vengeance. In the foot
ball game they won by making score
of 16 to 0. Among the lieutenants are
William Volkmoore, company e; r.
OBrien, company A; ]. King, company
F.; j. Liddell, company E; E. l.. Wade,
company B; c. Chappelear, company G;
other paid officers are j. w. Davis A. V.
Dunsmoore, H. Krohn, H. J. Keller and
II. Frieskow, who are second lieuten-
ants.
Two small cadets are missing, one a
Mexican and the other an American boy
They will probably return in a few
hours, as they have nothing to eat un-
less they get lost. Hunting parties have
been sent out to find them.
w. H. Cline, chief Of police. and Judge
Joseph Banning sailed away to Goat
Harbor on goat hunt. One fine big billy
was the result. They both fired at the
same time at 800 yards range, and both
claim the horns. They will shoot off the
horn of the dilemma in the near future
Capt. Frank Whitley took ouo party
of about thirty-five for a moonlight sail
on his beautiful fifty-ton schooner yacht

Alyce keenan, and Grace Blakelee. Mas
ter Geo. Patton, Jr, and Geo. A. Mont

A large string of fish was the result. Mr..

Mr.. F. s. Castle of The Needles is here
as the guest of w. H. Thomson.
A goat hunt to Middle ranch was par
ticipated in by Messrs. F. H. Lowe, who
rolled huge billy over at 1000 yards
while on the run.
John F. Francis got the buck fever and
it was over fifteen minutes before he
sufficiently recovered to pull the trig
ger, but when he did something dropped,
which gave him one of the finest trophies
ever taken at Catalina. The skin and
horns will probably adorn the floor of his
smoking parlors in his palatial home.

SUNNI MERLAND
The3 Biggest OIL Strike Yet-Great Hopes
Aroused


SUNDERLAND, Aug 2O.-At depth
of 275 feet w. M. S. Moore ran through
the first oil sand and struck new vein
of oil that promises to be the biggest
thing ever discovered in this district.
The strike has created considerable ex-
citement and it's development will be
awaited with interest
This field IS branching out rapidly and
promises before long to be the largest
oil producing and shipping point on the
southern coast.
The shipping facilities by rail and sea
offered at this point are unequaled for
the handling of crude petroleum. as the
field lies directly on the sea front and
tank vessels may be loaded by gravity
alone. The Southern Pacific railroad
runs directly through the district and
tank cars are loaded on side tracks
from the storage tanks, doing away with
the necessity for long distance pumping
or handling in wagons.
II. L.. Williams is rapidly developing
his wells on the beach and as soon as
the business will warrant it will put in

chise for the wharf and Is now consid-
ering bids for its construction.

The mystery is like q wall of protection.
The boys perpetrate many pieces of devil
ment on the beach; they steal chickens
sometimes and torture stray animals, but
Bob's pigs are never assaulted, his hens
are never molested, and the missile of the

That old woman yonder, with a load OF
driftwood on her shoulders, is a sorry
sight to see. Wait while and you may
witness several more like her, all strug-
Cling under the same kind of burden.
These women, perhaps, dwell in miserable
novels, with scarcely enough food to eat,
eking out an existence wherein there can
be little sunshine of soul. Horseshoe
Kate" it is said, often cheerily lends
helping hand to these victims of poverty
and misfortune-often drops them dime
or so. Such wrinkled old faces and bony
old hands as those poor women havel
And if he could read the stories hidden in
those breasts, perhaps the realist might
pause to think how little he knows of the
trials of life, which he pretends to portray
as it is. Some of these old women are
truly religious, it is said. 1t is easy
enough for the rich to be religious; but
where an abiding faith arises from homes
wherein the gaunt wolf OF starvation sits
ever beside the hearthstone, there GER
tainly is virtue, one would think, worthy
of better things than beggars clothing or
crumbs from the tables of the welI-fed.
The tough girl will not permit herself
to be missed. There she is! Her dress
is tough. Her hat is tough. Here face is
tougher still. The dialect she speaks is a
cross between slang and profanity. She
walks with an unwoman1y swagger, and
one can hardly regard her as a woman at
all. Her nose tells a story of dissipation,
and the rest of her face furnishes corrobo-
rative evidence. She is devoid of self
respect; aud there is no deep of life so low
that she will not recklessly and shame
lessly descend to it. 1t is too bad that the
Salvation Army cannot arrest the tough
girl and keep her in a guardhouse on
healthful rations until she undergoes
change of spirit.

keep his eyes wide open and watch the
procession go by.
Everybody down that yrknows old
Bob Spear. Any gamin can tell you where
he lives. "Old Bob" has the name of
being "well off" but you would never
suspect it were you to see his poorly attired
form on the street, and you wouldn't be-
lieve it were you to get glimpse of the
inside of his dwelling-place Nevertheless
when you get close enough to peer over
his back fence and note the fact that he has
hens In great number and a half dozen
pigs; and when you gaze up at the most
attractive feature in all the premises-his
dovecotes, with their cooling white winged
multitude Of residents-you begin to think
that Bob can't be so very bad off after all.
Bob was boatman long ago, but the tus-
sic with winds and waves was too much of
a drain on his visor of life and he settled
down as an economical landsman. No
body ever sees him spending any more
than the few pennies that keep his kitchen
supplied with the bare necessaries which
preserve the spirit safely in the clay. He
feeds his hogs and his hens on the de-
cayed caDbages and other truck that are
thrown out daily by the vegetable mar
kets, and this makes the daily banquet of
his olrds and beasts. The people around
the base of Telegraph Hill are certain that
"Old Bob is the possessor of a razor, for
the hair-crop on his face is regularly
moved down; and they are sure that the
aged Spear would never patronize bar
ber even at nickel a chance. Hence they
are free to guess that the razor is an heir
loom in Bob's family.
Street arabs, so they say, have seen old
Bob digging now and then in lonely spo is,
and so the story has passed around that
Spear has treasure buried somewhere or
other, and in many waterfront breast is
inspired the hope that some day, while
gamins are digging for baitworm, they
may turn up one of old Bob's hidden pots
of gold.
The ancient fellow has an ancient male
companion, who holds the fort whenever
Bob is away. They have no visitors, and
never respond to knocks on the front door.
People in the vicinity are used to these
ways and never disturb the gray brethren.
Beach urchins have framed many mystery
tales about these old men. They are both
silent and grave. This silence and gravity
is puzzling. Now if old Bob, for instance,
would get wild once in while and open
up with volley of oaths, the boys would
take supreme delight in keeping him
worried; but old Bob simply says nothing,
though his eyes have look in them that

Early in life Mrs. Child's parents moved
