DEL MONTE, CAL, Sept. 19.-And still
the merry clubmen and sportsmen gener-
ally break the bIuerock pigeons out at
the De- Monte shooting park. From early
morning until almost dark the continuous
crack of shotguns could be heard. So in
terested are those sportsmen in the events
of the day that they are seen practicing
at every spare moment and trying every
trap to see if the light is not better at one
than at another.
The championship singles were the
feature of the day and from preliminary
to final seemed most in ntensely exciting to
all contestants. A much larger crowd at
tended the shoot to-day than yesterday,
and the grand stand was taxed to its
utmost capacity. The shooting was high
class, but the percentage on a whole was
not as high as that OF yesterday. The
dense fog in the morning caused the
marksmen some uneasiness, making the
light bad for breaking bluerocks. Many
more clubs were entered in to-day's events
than on the first day, notably those from
Salinas, Hollister and other interior
towns.
In the first event for ten singles six men

The fourth event for the Golcher indi-
vidual trophy was won by William Varien

The fifth event was the most interesting
of the day. There were fifty-six contest

San Pedro's Deep-Harbor Victory
Gives an Impetus to the
Venture.

LOS ANGELES. CAL, Sept. 10. -
Thought is already being given by the cit
iZens of this city to the advantages that
may be derived from the construction of
the deep-sea harbor at San Pedro. Among
the most notable projects that have been
discussed for years past is the construc-
tion of direct railroad line between the
metropolis of Southern California and
Salt Lake City. This would give three in
dependent lines from Los Angeles to the
East, and would afford the shortest route
by hundreds of miles. Surveys have been
made i'll the past and also investigations
of the territory through which the road
would pass. These gave entirely satisfac-
tory results, but the project was carried
no further, because there was doubt as to
whether there would be sufficient business
to make the enterprise profitable.
With the certainty of the early con-
struction of the deep-sea harbor interest
in the proposed railroad has revived, and
is greater than ever before. 1t is appre-
ciated that with harbor such as is in
ontemplation, the commerce of Los An
COLES will be increased to an extent that
will easily afford business not only for the
third, particularly where many advan-
tages are likely to lie with the new
conner.
One of the most enthusiastic supporters
of the Los Angeles-Salt Lake Railroad
schem is T. E. Gibbon, vice president OF
the Terminal Railway Company. He is
strongly of the opinion that by the time
the deep-sea harbor is thrown open to
commerce, the proposed railroad will be
completed and in operation between Los
Angeles and Salt Lake.
''There are several large railroad inter-
ests having their Western terminus at
Salt Lake or near there" said Mr.. Glib
bon, "which desire Pacific Coast outlet.
The route to Los Angeles is not only the
cheapest but in many ways the most de.
sirable. The Union Pacific, the Oregon
Short Line, the Denver and Rio Grande,
the Rio Graude Western and other lines
further east, which are connections of the
Middle Western lines, amounting alto
gether to about 10000 miles of railroad.
are anxious TO find a direct outlet TO the
Pacific Coast. This would be secured by a
line from Salt LAKE to Los Angeles. In
addition to that the MorInons have organ
lied company called the Salt Lake and
Los Angeles Railway Company.
"They have the best terminal facilities
in Salt Lake City b. reason of having &C.
quired a public square of ten acres near
the center of the city for terminal pur-
poses on condition of building certain
amount of mileage per year in the direc-
ton of Los Angeles. This Salt Lake COM
pany is now investing a considerab BILE

was found necessary. if the old craft was

at once. This was done. An examina-
tlon at low water showed her hull in
very bad condition, nearly every seam
being sprung and the oakum washed out,
and 1t was then quite apparent that had
the distance been any greater the old Bis
marck would have found resting place
al the bottom OF the ocean.
After leaving the Bismarck on the
beach the Tonquin went to sea again In
search of the barge, but no track OF it
could be found.
The most authentic information obtain
able tonight is to the effect that the cargo
of the scow, among other merchandise
consisted of several thousand pounds OF
giant powder. The impression among
seafaring men is that the derelict is drift
ing southwark.
This derelict is the most dangerous OBJ
stacIe that could be encountered, and is
now drifting around right in the track of
vessels carrying valuable lives and big
cargoes. 1t is awful to contemplate the
effect of a collision with this floating en-
giue of destruction, and it would seem a
case where a Government vessel should be
dispatched to look up the wanderer, and
either tow her into port or dispose of the
cargo aboard of her.

tion reached here last night from Yaquina
Bay that the steamer Tonquin returned
from the Rogue River On Thursday, at
=. which place she left the old steamer Bis
marek safely beached to keep her from
sinking.
Captain Loll reports that after leaving
Yaquina Bay the Bismarck, which traY-
eled faster than the Tonquin and her tow,
a scow, pushed on ahead and by the after
noon was out of sight. Next morning,
however, he found her again anchored off
Cape Arago. disabled, and towed her into
Coos Bay for repairs, which were COM
pleted on the 4th, and on the following
morning the trip down the coast was re-
sumed. The Bismarck, having no skipper
aboard as the result of difficulty between
Captain Thues and her owners before sail
ing, the latter, with the assis tance of three
otter-hunters, who met her here while in
port, took charge of the vessel the N selves,
and on leaving Coos Bay passed over the
south sand spit, where the choppy sea
came near proving their destruction.
They managed to get along all right, how
ever, until ten miles below Cape Blanco.

ference Sunday is the day of days of con-
ference week, and the big auditorium OF
the Methodist Episcopal church was
crowded during the services. The 9
o'clock ''love feast" practically began the
services. 1t was followed at IL O. clock by
the conference sermon delivered by Right
Rev. Bishop John P. Newman, D.. d.,
LID, whose theme, "Self- Mastery" was
taken from the words of Solomon: HE
that ruIeth his spirit is better than he that
taketh city,"
In self-mastery the Bishop said three
things were necessary-self-knowle
self-denial and self-control. SeIf-masterv
was not self-distinction, but sel1- -subor-
dination. Each man must accomplish
this self-subordination in his own way,
for one mans temptation was not an
others, and his final triumph was like
that of st. Paul, who finished his course,
kept the faith and found the ''crown of
rejoicing"
The ceremony of consecration of deacon
esses and ordination of deacons and elders
was performed this afternoon by Bishop
Newman, assisted by his cabinet OF pre-

Grated were Miss Holbrook. Miss Gates

operation OF its line and improving its
terminal facilities.
''As 1 said, ali of these interests are
seeking an outlet to the Pacific Coast, and
Will certainly be much encouraged by the
fact that we will shortly have a harbor
that will accommodate any commerce
that may come from the Orient ard from
Mexico. / consider it, therefore. a aues-
tlon of short time when the line be-
tween Salt Lake and Los Angeles will be
built.
The country through which such line
would go is very favorable to railroad
construction, ana it can be built through
one of the finest mineral regions in the
world. Iron and coal are said to be there
In abundance and undoubtedly there are
also large deposits of the precious metals,
which have never heen exploited because
OF the lack of transportation facilities.
Los Angeles has never shown itself
backward in promoting any enterprise
which has an apparent tendency to bene-
ut the city. No enterprise can be inau-
gurated that would be of such great bene-
ht as this railroad-not even the harbor at
San Pedro. 1t will offer a line 300 miles
nearer to all Eastern points than any we
nave. LII Will open great territory for
our productions in the middle West bv
direct connection. 1t will supply us with
what we now lack and is necessary to
stimulate many lines of manufacture that
we are now without, because of the ab-
sence of raw material and cheap transpor-
tation facilities.
"lf honestly and conservativelv con-
structed, at the present cost of railroad
building. it will do for US what the Valley
road is dong for the San Joaquin Valley
and San Francisco. 1t will give US lower
freight rates on account of not having to
pay interest on bonds issued to pay ex-
travagant construction. In addition the
agricultural and mineral territory which
the larger part of the line will run through
will produce more way freight than is
produced by the other lines, which run
east through a large extent of desert ter
rltory. There will be less unproductive
trackage to be maintained and the ex-
pense of operation will consequently fall
less heavily on Los Angeles than is nov
the case on the other lines, which must
necessarily maintain great length of un-
productive track. 1t is possible to COM
plete the road in eighteen months"

MONTEREY, CAL, Sept. 19.-There is
considerabI excitement here over the
proposed renewal of the lease by the Pa
cihc Coast Steamship Company of a part
Of Monterey water front. The lease had
just expired, when, at the meeting on
September of the Board of Trustees OF
the city, a petition from the steamship
company was presented asking renewal.
The matter was taken under advis ement,
but before action could be taken another
petition, signed by seventy-four promi-
nent business men of Monterey, was pre-
sented, praying that th board allow the
present lease to expire by limitation and
a!terward cause the water front and wharf
to revert to the CITY of Monterey, and that
exclusive privileges should not be granted
to any party or corporation hereafter.
The petitioners also wished the wharf to
be maintained by the city on the dockage
receipts, the rate of which should be de-
termIned by the trustees.
Many influential citizens strenuously
oppose the granting of this petition, and
there is mach arguing for and against its
passage.

PORT TOWNSEND. WASH, Sept 19-
A peculiar looking resident of the dee D
was found this morning by Fl. P. Score,
keeper of the United States Government
light at Point Wilson. and in the absence
OF more fitting name the object is called
a sea serpent.
The monster was found stranded on the
beach near the lighthouse, whittier it had
been tossed by a heavy wave. 1t is nine
feet in length, the thickest part of its body
being twenty inches in circumfer-
ence. The head is large and is shaped like
an alligator's.
Two horns thirty inches in length pro-
trude from the head. The animai-if
animal it may be called-has massive
jaws with large teeth, but has no legs or
fins and is of pale green color.
Lightkeeper Score killed the curiosity
by shooting it with a pistol. He towed
the body to the light station, where it is
now an object OF curiosity to many per-
sons. Nothing similar to il has ever been
seen in the waters of the Pacific North
west.
