ELYsIAN PARK COTTON
Shall Commercial Travellers Ride on
Freight Trains

Secretary Virgins yesterday received
letter from the Portland, Ore, cham
ber of commerce asking the cooperation
Of the local body in protesting against
the action of the Western Traffic asso-
citation, which rules that no passenger
shall ride on freight trains between the
cities west Of the Rocky mountains.
1t seems that in the west, where but
one passenger train a day Is run each
way, the commercial travellers are
obliged to lose much time in making
their circuit of various points where they
sell goods. If, on the contrary, they can
utilize the freight trains in making trips
to intermediate points, the commercial
travellers find such accommodation as
the freight trains afford of great use In
covering their territory more quickly.
Hence this effort on the part Of the com
mercial bodies to persuade the Traffic
association to rescind their action.
Among the recent donations to the
chamber are: An exhibit of Castleman
lines from j. s. Castleman, sent by the
chamber of commerce Of Riverside; ma
vel oranges from Halls nursery, River
side; X L, paper shell and Ne Plus Ul-
ira almonds from the Manzana colony,
Manzana, and a case of fine upland cot
ton raised in Elysian park and sent In by
the park commissioners. This cotton
compares favorably with the Missis.
sippl article; and, whereas the contribu- ;
tions Of local cotton have heretofore
been small parcels, this time there Is a
fifty-pound case of particularly fine
samples of fluffy cotton balls, each pod
in full bloom.
Five hundred pieces Of Southern Cali
fornia literature were mailed to eastern
inquirers yesterday. and letters Of in
quiry are coming every day from eastern
people concerning the new pamphlet
Land of Promise, Los Angeles and
Southern California" There will be an
edition of 100000 of this pamphlet out

WHY HE DIDN'T FIGHT
A Frenchman Wants His Revenge to
Be Complete

Gustave de Liege called at the police
station last night in high dudgeon. He
wanted to have man arrested and have
it done quickly, too. He wasn't sure Of
the mans name, but he thought that he
could find him If an officer would go
along.
After repeated efforts the police clerk
got the gesticulating Frenchman's at
tention long enough to ask him what
was the matter.
"Matter!" calculated the irate Gus
tave. Mon Dieu If 1 only had tina
wretch! But don't you see mon cou."
placing his hand to his neck. HE choke
me. He scratch me. He fight like unc
femme, un diable! If I only had the
wretch!"
Sure enough, the Frenchman's throat
showed the marks of a set Of finger nails
and the blood had run out of the
scratches and dyed his shirt collar.
Couldn't you fight?" ventured a re-
porter who was standing near
"Me fight?" calculated Gustave. "Me
fight with q man who scratches like une
femme? Non, could not. But I'll tell
you what I'll do. I'll get him into court
and have him fined $25. Then I'll fight,
Oui! I'll fight with this woman who
scratches like une poulette. I'll wait
for him and I'll beat him and I'll kick
him, will. But want him arrested
first"
Gustave was invited by the clerk to
go away until he had sobered up and
then come and swear to a warrant If he
still wanted to prosecute.

Reused to Lynchinp

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 3O.-No crime
in the history Of Curry county has
created so much excitement as the kill
ing of A. I. Coolidge by the notorious
Van Pelt faction, and now that the al
legged murderers have been arrested and
are in Jail at Gold Beach, fears are en-
tertained of summary vengeance, and no
surprise would be felt if in this case
the crime viii be atoned by lynch law.
Although strong guard has been placed
over the Jail, it is reported that there
have already been demonstrations that

WHOLESALE HARNESS THIEF
It Is Believed That There Will Be
Several Gases Against Mccoy

The police detectives believe that
Frank Mccoy, the colored man arrested
few days. ago, has been responsible
for the wholesale harness stealirgs
which have been reported of late. Two
charges of burglary have already been
filed against Mccoy and there Is little
doubt that others will follow.
Saturday night Mccoy was arrested
on Los Angeles street by officer Hen
derson while he was attempting to sell d
harness.. He was taken to the police
station and turned over to Detective
Goodman, who went through list of all
the stolen property recently reported.
and failing to find harness enumerated
on the list which fitted a description of
the one Mccoy was trying to sell, the
man was released. He returned to the
store where he had been when arrested
and having apparently proved a clear
title to the harness sold it and received
the money.
At o'clock the following. morning Nc
Coy was stopped while walking along
the street carrying another harness. He
told the policeman that the harness
which he was then carrying was the
same one which he had been trying to
sell in the afternoon. The officer knew
the circumstance Of the negro's arrest
and subsequent release and decided that
nothing could be proved against him
and allowed him to go.
The following morning report of
stolen harness which was at once recog-
nized as the one which Mccoy had been
trying to sell on Los Angeles street was
received at the station. The negro was
then arrested and locked up. The har-
ness which he had been carrying along
the street in the early morning was later
identified by ]. D. Parker, who lives at
the corner of Wall and Twelfth streets.
His barn had been broken into during
the night. 1t is believed that other cases
will be reported.

to be as bad as the ascent to the summit.
At last, however, we reached the lake at
about 1910 and finished the circuit Of it
about 1:45, going part of the way on the
ice, which was strong enough to carry
us. We reached the first signs of tim
ber-spruce O. foot high, with roots un-
der the moss inches thick-about 2:15
p. m. and Long lake at $3.50. AS belated
packers who had become exhausted
with their loads or soaked in the rivers
and streams, or by falling through the
lake ice, kept coming in all night, In
spector Starnes. the judge and myself
remained over while the rest went on to
Lindeman.
The packers, with our boots and ra-
tions, had not arrived, but we turned In
with three other men in a small tent
and enjoyed a hard tack or two, slice
of corned beef and cup of tea. About
midnight two packers who had fallen
through the ice and were freezing were
allowed sitting room in the tent next the
stove, and remained up all night drying
their clothes before going to Lindeman
with their burdens this morning. About
twenty of the packers sat up in small
police tent all night, and the rest rolled
their blankets around them and slept in
the snow. Twenty of them are scattered
about in the snow in the rear of our tent
just now. The hardships these people
suffer are marvellous. The endurance
human being is capable of seems to have
no limit.
AT THE LAKE
This morning Saturday, 23d) our
packers were off to Lindeman by $3.50
and we had finished breakfast at 1850.
At S:45 we took the second fatboat ferry
over the lake. 1t was cold, foggy and I'M
comfortable, but we completed the jour-
ney by 9:20 and reached the police tent
by 1885 and will proceed in boats with
our stores, supplies and luggage to Ben
nett tomorrow morning. There are
about thirty tents around here and every
little coterie is hard at work making a
boat to proceed over the lakes and down
the rivers. Lakes Lindeman and Ben
nett are still open and if we have luck
we may be able to reach Dawson by the
rivers in q very short time-possibly
three weeks. AS there is no end of fuel
here at Lindeman there is no difficulty
in having a good fire, which is an i'm
possibility anywhere between Sheep
Camp and here.
