SANTA MONICA

| SANTA MONICA, Dec. 2.-(Regular
Correspondence.) Santa Monica's fu-
| ture as first-class summer resort
seems assured. For some time past a
party of Los Angeles business men have
| been figuring on the cost of erecting a
pleasure wharf with all the added de-
tails necessary to make it a money pro-
ducer as we'll as a source of pleasure to
the multitude. They were made gem
erous offer by Almon p. Maginnis, man
ager of the Pacific Land Improvement
company. to use the Santa Fe franchise
etc. at Ocean park. but the fear that
the parties interested in the central and
northern part of the beach would then
construct a rival pier in that locality
persuaded them to give up the idea of
making the venture at Ocean park.
Quiet investigation of the probabilities
of being able to secure Il franchise near
the foot of Railroad avenue has brought
to light the intentions Of other moneyed
interests. which are of a more local ma
ture. in regard to the construction Of a
wharf. breakwater, etc. for the enter
tainment of next seasons guests. The
Pasadena & Pacific Railroad company
is the prime mover in the movement, but
will be joined by private capital. and it
has been hinted that the Southern Pa
cific company may assist.
The plans show T shaped structure
half mile in length. with floating
dock, with steps leading thereto. A
breakwater 900 feet long will be built
around the end to afford easy anchor
age. On the T-shaped end is shown a
large area. covered. where bandstand.

many numerous attractive features for

We're placed at rest in the little grave

Redlands last Monday, apparently In the

health, to transact some business for
her order. and whilst in the discharge

was celebrated here this morning in the

touching manner. Six sisters bore to the
grave the body of their dead companion,
whilst little Indian children, with tears
falling, chanted in sobbing accents the
doleful prayers for the dead. Her re-
mains now lie on the mountain side, far
from kin and the home Of her childhood.
Thirty years ago she gave up all that
this world prizes to live the life Of a
Sister of st. Joseph--to devote herself to
works of charity for Christ's sake: and
never did nature endow a religieuse with
more befitting qualities. She was kind,
gentle, sympathetic; without guile, sim
cere and gentle as child. Her frank.
open countenance spoke innocence itself.
"She faded, and so calm, so meek,
So softly worn. SO sweetly weak;
So fearless. yet so tender kind
And grieved for those she left behind"
