COUNCIL FORECAST
Matters to Come Before the City Faith
ers at TodaY's Session


Today's session of the city council will
be a most important one for the tax
payers of the city, as number of meas
ures Of more than ordinary interest will
be acted upon. The most important Of
these is the final ordinance ordering the
bond election for school and fire depart
ment improvements. The contents OF
the ordinance as it has been prepared
have already been published and there
will be few if any changes in it.
The petition for the resurfacing OF
Spring street from Temple to Ninth will
be presented, and it is probable that the
ordinance of intention will be at once
adopted, as it is desired to have the work
commenced as soon as possible. The
proposed reSurfacing of Main street will
also come up in a similar petition, and
the two streets will be ordered improved
at the same time.
The final ordinance in the matter Of
the improvement of Downey avenue SO
as to make it similar to boulevard is
expected to be ready for passage.
Among the protests that will be heard
is that against the proposed assessment
district for the widening Of Bellevue av-
enue. 1t is possible that action on this
matter may be deferred, as it is desired
to include the proposed work on Buena
Vista street in the same district.
The opening of New High street
through from Franklin to the corner Of
First and Broadway is expected to come
up in the form Of a petition to have the
ordinance Of intention passed. This Pc
tition will bear the signatures Of prop
erty owners along Broadway as far
south as Seventh street.

REDLANDS

REDLANDS, Oct. 31.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) When the high school
boys of San Bernardino organized a
football team and said they could whip
any school on earth, the members Of the
union high school of Redlands got a few
boys together and accepted the def and
appointed Saturday, October 30th, as the
day to lay out the challengers on the
gridiron and grill them to turn. For
this purpose they sent over the follow
ing team: w. Elliott. center: Campbell.

CAST, right tackle; Covington, left tackle
Coon. right half; Logic, left half; c.
Elliott, right end; Quinmire, left end;

dino boys pitted against them were
Edgar, center; Norwood, right guard;
Barrows, left guard; Allison. right
tackle; Draper, left tackle; Warner,
fright end; Keller, left end; Raitt, quar-
terback; Coleman, right half; Keir, left
half; Boren, fullback; S. D. Briggs,
coach; Johnson, Roddick and McWethy.
substitutes. The Redlands team was a
trifle the more weighty, and the San
Bernardino team had seen the more
practice, but the former boys thought
they could show the county seat boys
a thing or two about the game but on
lining up and beginning to play there
was different turn to the tide, and the
game closed with a score Of A to 0 in
|SanBernardino's favor. The only thing
the Redlands boys got was good lick
ing, and Charley Ford samshed his COL
lar bone.
The 12-year-old son of Orrin Reed dis
appeared Thursday, and no trace of him
could be found until late Friday night.
Mr.. Reed searched San Bernardino over,
going to all the schools and putting the
teachers on the watch for the boy, but
|of no avail. He finally got clew, and
following it up, found his boy in the
hands of a tramp near Hemet. He Sc
cured the boy, but the fate of the tramp
is unknown. The story of the boy is
that the tramp coaxed him to go to Texas
with him, and pretended to be on the
way there when found. The boy is of
la sickly disposition, and the exposure
through Thursday night and Friday
until 10 p. nn., when Mr.. Reed found
them, has been too much for the boy,
and he has been quite i'll.

tons day from Hueneme, making to-

to one hundred and fifty tons or more

neola Canal company, has been at work
with large force for two weeks put

FROM LAKE LINDERMAN
LOS ANGELES MEN GETTING
THROUGH TO KLONDIKE
Many Getting Out Of the Country
to Escape the Terrors of Winter.
Adventures on the Way

Probably the last letter that will reach
the city this winter from any Of the Los
Angeles men who have braved the ter
rors of Chilkat pass and are now en-
route to the Klondike gold fields, is that
which was received Saturday from E.
G. Fuller by his family, who reside on
the Mission road. Mr.. Fuller and party
of friends left this city August foc
Dawson city, going by way of Dyea.
They took with them large boat which
they carried over the pass and floated in
the lakes of the Yukon basin. The let
ter is written from Lake Linderman and
bears the date October 2. 1t contains
some interesting information Of the
progress of the gold hunters there. The
letter is as follows:
AT last we have got to the starting
point of our voyage, but very late. It
has been showing and freezing for ths
past five days We had a hard time
getting here from Sheep camp. The wind
blew gale in the mountains all the timo
and fuel was scarce. In one stretch OF
nine miles there is not a sign of a stick.
We ran out of money at Long lake, but
putting our boat together there we made
$3.50 in two days ferrying, nearly enough
to pay for carrying our boat and goods
| through the rest of the way to Linder-
man. Last night was the coldest we
have had-S degrees above zero. The
(, lakes are not freezing yet, and we hope
| to make the Pelly, or perhaps the Stew-
art river, before the Yukon closes.
| Lake Linderman is like a shipyard.
There are about thirty boats being
built, and one or two are leaving every
day. Some people, who left Dyea three
weeks ahead of us, are just ready to go.
If we get frozen in we will build a log
house and make ourselves comfortable.
Flour is worth $50 per sack here, and
some are selling out and going back,as
they only now realize that they have
not enough grub to keep them through
the winter. Many have given up in
despair, but we are not built that way.
may get chance to send you another
letter before spring, but don't expect it.
There is a monthly mail to Circle City,
but we can't always intercept the car
riers. They charge 81 each for letters.
Reports of famine reach us from Dawson
and under no circumstances will we go
there this winter unless we can prove
for certain that they are false.
