THE QUESTION OF REsuRFAc1Na

There appear to be several inaccura-
cies in the protest against the resurfac-
ing Of Spring street that may render it
null and void. A considerable change
was made yesterday in the frontage rep
resented, and If few more follow the
necessary majority may be wanting.
The Herald has said several times re-
Gently that the cost Of repairing Spring
street would not exceed $1.7O per foot Of
frontage. 1t should have said the cost
Of resurfacing would not exceed that
amount per foot, which makes appear
ances still worse for the property owners
who are standing in the way of greatly
needed public improvement. A good
new surface would last for number of
years and the expense would not exceed
$S5 per lot Of fifty front feet. 1t would
probably be considerably less.
The business tenants on Spring street
have had little or nothing to say about
the Spring street controversy up to the
present time, but they propose to take
a hand in the matter row. They purpose
forming a tenants association as op-
posed to the recently formed association
of landlords. One of the things on. which
they will make fight will be the resur-
facing of the city's main business thor
oughfare. They will have the active
support and sympathy of the public
In this fight.
There is an unpleasant alternative at
tached to the permanent opposition Of
the property owners on Spring street
to putting the paving into proper condi-
ton. That alternative is the possible
removal of the leading business houses
to Broadway or some other street
where the paving is kept in passable
condition. Several capitalists have al
ready announced their willingness to
erect fine blocks on Broadway provided
they can be assured of tenants.
Discretion is the better part of econo-
my in a case like this. 1t will be far
cheaper in the end for the property own
ers on. Spring street to withdraw their
OPPOSITION to resurfacing. 1t would be a
pity to see we'll built up, centrally le-
Gated street like Spring go to the dogs
because of the mistaken policy of the
owners of the abutting property.

Our evening contemporary, the Rec
ORD, and the San Diego Sun, are to be
congratulated on their plucky determi-
ration to maintain at their own expense

Diego county. They refuse to be pulled
down by the San Diego chamber OF
commerce which voted rs to to discon-
tinue the exhibit. OF course it's a free
country, and San Diego fruits, nuts
and pumpkins are not very expensive.
If our rervy contemporaries choose to
blow in some Of their earned increment
in keeping up the San Diego spread, The

The Boston Globe rejoices over the re-

1t remains to be seen whether the eie-

AIMED AT KLONDIKE

| On the 29th of June last the governor
general Of Canada assented to an act
passed by the parliament to regulate
immigration of foreigners to that coun-
try. AS the subject had not previously
been legislated upon to any important
extent, the presumption is that some
thing had recently happened which
caused the Dominion government to be-
lieve that more comprehensive and re-
strictive legislation was necessary. That
which had happened was beyond ra-
tional doubt, the discovery of gold in
the northern part Of British Columbia.
The law alluded to bears indubita bic
evidence in. its provisions that this dis.
covery was what suggested. its enact
ment
The law makes II unlawful "for any
person, company, partnership or corpo
ration to prepay the transportation or
in any way assist or encourage the i'm
portation or immigration of any foreign
er into Canada under contract or agree
ment, special or parole, express or i'm
piled, made previous to the importation
or immigration of such alien or foreign
er to perform labor or service of any
kind in Canada" and all such contracts
are declared null and void.
Violation Of the provision quoted is
punishable by fine of thousand dol
lars. The master of any vessel who
knowingly brings into Canada any per-
son under such contract is liable to
fine of $780, An American who has been
grub-staked for the Klondike is liable
to be sent back to the United States at
the expense of the grub-staker. En-
couragement is given to informers BY
promising them one-half the fines The
act applies to those countries which
have alien labor laws, and as the United
States is one of those countries the act
applies to us.
Canada thinks she has causes Of COM
plant on account of several items of
our legislation, and that to embarrass
American expeditions to the Klondike
will strike this country on tender spot.
Whether the law will restrain our peo-
pie remains to be demonstrated. The
law has been so recently enacted that
the machinery for its enforcement has
not yet been put in. operation.

A BOULEVARD JANGLE

The boulevard committee--or at least
a portion of it-held meeting yester-
day for the ostensible purpose of ar
ranging data to place before the board

consideration of the committee just now,
and it is supposed to be mapping out a
district to be assessed for the improve
ment. Nothing of the proceedings of
the meeting was given to the reporters.
One fact did develop, however that
has very unpleasant look. A number
Of the Pasadena members of the COM
mittee who came down expressly to at

nificent Prizes.


nificent Prizes.
The DeRenne trophy which, for a year,
will grace the hall of the regimental team
winning it. is very handsome. Il was
the idea of the donor to embody in the
design a distinctly American episode, a
design illustrating an incident in Amer
lean military life. The defense of the Al
amo, at San Antonio, Tex, in 1886, was
suggested by him to Mr.. S. E. Theus,
who got up a design, from which the
Whiting Manufacturing Company New
York, has made the most Of and produc-
ed beautiful piece of silver art work.
The trophy, of sterling silver. is of a
graceful Grecan outline, thirty three
inches high, standing on an ebony PED
estal eight inches high. A statuette of
Fame" exquisitely modelled stands on
the front and body of the trophy, look
ing toward a bas relief of the Alamo,
near the top of the trophy her trumpet
across her left arm, the right arm hang
ing in repose, with laurel wreath In her
hand. A her feet Is an American eagle,
full modelled, in defiant pose.
The body of the pitcher is a melon-shap-
ed, and on each section of the body, in re-
lief is a leaf of the maguey plant, while
sentence:
The Thermopylae had their messenger
of death; the Alamo had none"
Sprnging from the face of the trophy
are modelled prickly pear cactus leaf,
while around the medallion of the Alamo
are also cactus and laurel leaves leading
up to the neck and mouth of the pitcher.
Around and just below the neck of the
pitcher is a girdle of acanthus leaves, in
high relief, pendant.
The neck and mouth are modelled after
a vestal virgins lamp carrying out the
Grecian idea, with convolutions leading up
to and gradually disappearing in a sur
face of polished silver near the top. The
edge of the mouth is finished with del
ieate rocco border. The opposite side
of the trophy has the coat of arms of
Georgia and the following inscription:
Savannah Military Rifle Range Associ-
alton, from Wymberly Jones DeRenne,
1896"
The laurel, cactus and maguey plant are
Indigenous in Texas. Mr.. Theus held
strongly to the idea of the defense of the
Alamo in introducing three native plants
into the decoration.
The De Soto trophy is a massive ster-
ling silver urn sixteen inches high stand
ing upon an ebony base six inches high
1t Is gracefully designed on the lines of
the first French empire. The handles are
of cast silver wrought by hand to a fin
ish. In the center of the body of the urn
is wrought wreath of fine proportions.
AT the base of the body a girdle of acan-
thus leaves in high relief forms a fitting
finish to the plain surface of the urn. The
mouth is finished In heavy relief. Alto
