AVALON

AVALON, March 30.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) The town of Avalon Is
unusually lively for this time of the
year. There are more teams and
wagons than we quiet folks have seen
in the streets for several years. Their
presence is accounted for by the fact
that the Banning company has begun
active operations in connection with the
enlargement and remodeling OF the
Metropole hotel, and also that the con-
tractors are preparing to commence
work on the stage road which the en-
terprising proprietors of the island have
resolved to push to rapid completion.
This road promises to be an immense
addition to the already numerous at
fractions to the visitor to Catalina, rum
ming, as it will, from the town OF Ava
lon through the most interesting and
picturesque part of the island, allowing
the more timid tourist to enjoy the far
famed beauties of the country with all
the security of an ordinary drive. The
road is to be twelve feet wide and not
to exceed grade of ten per cent at any
point. 1t is expected that stages will be
running to the summit within two
months.
During the winter there have been
many other improvements of a perma-

ANAHEIM, March 30-(Regular Cor

locally known as "the Santa Ana" has
not done so much injury to the beet crop
as was feared. The section suffering
most from its effects lies west of town,
and not more than thirty acres will have
to be replanted. The crop in all parts Of
the county is the most promising of any

POMONA

POMONA, March 30.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) Inquiry in this vicinity
elicits almost as many different state
ments as the number of people inter-
viewed as to the result of last nights
frost The prevailing opinion seems to
be that in consideration of the great
quantity of apricot blossoms in compari
son with the young fruit which had shed
the leaf or blossom the loss of apricots
will not hurt the crop, for it is claimed
there would have been too heavy crop
left There is no doubt that the mer
curry fell to the danger point in many
localities but in great many orchards
smudge fires were kept going from mid
night until daylight, and if thought nee
essary will again be burned tonight. On
some of the low grounds the opinion is
that all the young fruit already set has
been frozen but that plenty yet remains.
Some claim that the wind of yesterday
so dried out the blossoms of all moisture
that 1t served really as a protection
from the frost.

"Mr. Chairman and gentlemen Of the

as a member Of the weather bureau, lying

lie with the gusto of an amateur, but
little incident that happened few sum-
mers ago out in Indiana may possess some
interest for you.
"You may remember the summer of
fearful drought in Indiana Crops were
frizzled up, brooks lost their right of way
and people who had reviled water as the
last thing to put in mans mouth went
about hunting for a drop of it, At no
place was water more needed than in the
manufacturing town of Egerton, Ind. The
chief industry Of the place is locomotive
building, and they had an order for ten
locomotives to be finished in certain
time or they would not be accepted. The
lake that ran the factory had but seven
inches of water in it, and the owners were
in despair. If the machinery didn't start
inside of three days, they would lose the
order.
cat this juncture the owners sent for
me to see if something could not be DONE
and I went out there. To make matters
worse enormous black clouds hurried in
both directions across Indiana day after
day, to empty themselves into the water
soaked neighboring states; but, as if they
had grudge against the Hoosiers, not

artillery company to bring its cannons
and plant one OH each of the four sides of
the lake, with the bores pointed at an an
gle of As degrees and to get ready to fire.
Then issued a weather report, prophecy
ing clear day, and, of course, that
brought the clouds. They travelled from
east to west and were very black and
heavy. got the men to train their guns so
that when shot the four balls would meet
over the lake and not do any damage to
property, and then waited for a cloud of
the right size. 1t soon came 'Fire' said

and there, and its contents filed that lake
bed as neatly as if the cloud had been
measured for it. In few minutes tho
factory was running and the locomotives
were finished on time, and got my pass. y

sANI1ApIuM SCHEME NOT ABANDONED

Judging from letters that have been
received in Santa Fe during the past ten
days, the American Invalid Aid society
has not abandoned it's scheme for secur-
ing possession of the government reser-
walton In this city, and the buildings on
it, for the purpose of turning the prop
erty into charitable hospital for the
treatment of consumptives.
1t would be mighty good thing for
the unfortunate people who might be
sent here, and in that respect is laudable
undertaking, but the citizens have much
at stake, and cannot afford to sit idly by
and allow the center of the city to be-
come a hospital. If the invalid society
desires to locate the proposed sanitarium
on the plat selected once, two or three miles
out of town, we'll and good. The effects
of the climate will be just the same, the
surroundings more pleasant and the
patients equally as we'll contented, while
the town will not be subjected to any
danger of infection.
The citizens of Santa Fe have no OBJ
lection to this sanltarium if established
as suggested and will aid the enterprise
all they possibly can, but they do object
to the institution In the proposed loca-
tion for the very best of reasons. The
physicians who are promoting the scheme
are quite profuse in their assurances that
there is not the slightest danger of an
epidemic condition of the soil and town,
but equally as proficient professional
men are of an opposite opinion, and
safety requires that the bill, now before
congress, granting the Fort Marcy prop
erty to the society be defeated.
