REDLANDS

REDLANDS, April 1.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) Many rumors have been
af1oat recently concerning the erection
of handsome memorial and library
building by Mr.. A. K. Smiley. Plans
have already been presented for such a
building, and If it is erected, which it
probably will be in the near future, it
will be one of the handsomest buildings
of its kind in California.
The proposed site is on Emeha street
and commands an excellent view of the
city. In regard to the rumor that Mr.
Smiley would erect a tourist hotel we
have the best of authority for stating
that 1t is not his intention to build any
thing of the kind, recognizing the fact
that Redlands is amply provided for in
the way of caring for the tourists in the
Casa Iona, to which he has given
his hearty support.

New York, Dec. S.-When the third

ed in Madison Square garden there
were just half the number of the orig
inal starters contesting for honors.
OF the dozen and a half who are
straining every nerve, it is probable
not more than twelve will finish out
the race.
Miller has a splendid lead, and Riv-
ierere who is fifty miles behind and
five men, who are close upon RIVER
ere's heels, are in first class shape.
From this bunch it would be hard to
pick winner.
At about $50 o'clock Miller complet-

better than any record at the same
stage in any similar contest.

thought and investigation, made an
address. In his statement he show
ed the quality of the land to be par

the sugar beet. Prof. s. A. Huston,
of Purdue university, Lafayette, ex-
planned that the beets grown in this
valley were very rich in sugar proper
ty. Gov. Mount was introduced and
addressed the convention. His talk
created much interest.
The indications are that during the

grown in large quantities throughout
this valley.
