Good Work in Santa Barbara

To the editor OF the Los Angeles Herald:
Sojourning for the time in the beautiful
little city of Santa Barbara In reform lee
ture work, / of course went to hear the
speech of Hon. Chas. A. Towne in Armory
hall during his recent visit here. The work
which this gentleman is doing is so apie'
so sound and so effective for shaping the
political future OF our country that feel
1t to be the patriotic duty of every citizen
who hears him and is in sympathy with
this great movement for the overthrow Of
the gold despotism. to give some outspoken
commendation of this heroic man and his
magnificent work. Allow me further in
this connection to congratulate the entire
nation on the vigorous and earnest call to
arms sent ringing through the land stimuli
taneously--in effect jointly--from the ma
tional committees Of the reform Demo-
cracy, the Peoples party and the Silver
Republicans. Now let all true patriots for
once be magnamimous, forget party dis
tinctions and petty differences. and stand
side by side as fellow soldiers in the COM
ing conflict between the despotism Of
monopoly and the liberties Of the people.

The Cossacks

The fame Of the Cossacks Is widespread,
Their audacity and their cleverness are
proverbial. This corps d elite is regulated
on special system. They are exempt from
tax, furnish their own uniform, horses
and equipment. The Russian state supplies
them only with rifles. Their horses which
come from the steppes Of the Don, are in
telligent and strong. They are less rapid
in their movements than English horses.
but they have much more stamina and ex-
traordinary docility. The Cossack and his
horse are one. A charge of Cossacks is
like destructive whlrlwind. They sweep
all before them.

TO IMPROVE HARBOR
CONGRESSMAN COOPER INTRO
OUCES A BILL INTO THE HOUSE
TO ALLAY INJURIOUS EFFECTS
Caused by the Northeast Wind Throwing
Sand Against the South Pier and
Thus Filling up the Harbor.-
Something Must Be Done.

Congressman Cooper has finally
acted and on last Friday he introduced
bill into the House directing the Sec
rotary of War t, cause survey of the
Kenosha harbor to find the best means
Of preventing the injurious effects OF the
northeast sea. The action OF the rep
Iresentative in Congress will undoubt-
edly result in the Kenosha harbor being
made one of the finest harbors on the
lake. Something must be done, for
according TO the reports Of the last
soundings the direct channel of the
harbor is rapidly filling up with sand.
Some time ago the south pier was
heightened, but nothing was done in
regard to the north pier, and as a re-
suit the northeast sea is very injurious
to the harbor. The south pier being so
much longer the sand is thrown
against it in great quantities and is
carried directly into the harbor. The
deposition of this sand has been
noticed for some time and
Congressman Cooper has seen
the necessity of prompt action. The
people of the city will be glad to know
that the important step has been taken
and it is a step toward the long ex-
pected improvements. To be sure the
bill introduced by Congressman Cooper
does not ask for any extensive improve
ments beyond frightening the north
pier. in order to do away with the north
east sea doing any damage. When
these improvements are made by the
government the commercial interests OF
the CITY will demand that the harbor
be widened and made deep enough to
allow the largest of lake vessels to ar
rive and depart safely. These improve
ments will require the expenditure OF
considerable money, but both the city
and private individuals have shown
that they are ready to meet demands
the government may make for assist
ance and if the work is begun these
people will see that the work is done in
the proper manner.
There should be no delay. The COun
ell should at once take up the question
of the purchase of the Mygatt property
and if any compromise can be made it
should be purchased in order that the
city will be able to do her share when
ever the government may act.

AN ECHO OF THE STRIKE.
Italians From the Tannery Engage in
Cutting Scrape.

Three Italians, named George Will
liams, Sam Ross and Santo Constan-
tino are making things lively at the
county Jail this afternoon. The trio
were arrested this morning by Officer
Barber and all are slated for assault.
recent strike at the tannery. Williams
was going to work this morning when
he met Ross, who he claims is a scab.
The latter was accused by Williams
of taking his job at the tannery, and
he reproached him in terms that
would not do for publication. Ross
saw at once that Williams had several
friends with him and didn't want to
risk battle under the circumstances,
so he withdrew to the Italian quarters
on the midway and gathered up a
small army of friends and relatives
and returned to make Williams swal-
low his words.
The two parties met near the Main
street bridge, but as Williams didn't
seem to be in anything like concila-
tory mood trouble was soon in sight.
Seeing that Ross had the biggest crowd
Williams attempted to withdraw, when
he claims that Santo Constantine, a
third member of the trio, attacked him
and struck him in the head with a
knife. Blood flowed like water for
few moments and the clash of knives
made the denizens of the river believe
that a Spanish transport had landed
and the soldiers were trying to fight
their way into the strongholds of the
city. The crowd was finally worn out
and retired, the woundedEmen being
taken to the italian quarters. Williams
was the only one seriously hurt, having
received a bad scalp wound and several
bad bruises on the body. The other
men escaped with body bruises.
Tony Bruno, who is rapidly becoming
king among the Dagos, appeared this
afternoon to secure bail for his country
men.

Thomas R. Kimball easily won the
frat round of the handicap golf tour
nament played at the Country Club
grounds on Saturday afternoon. He
made the nine holes in 68 strokes and
his handicap of tour makes the net
score a.
There were twenty seven entries for
the match, but only fifteen players
went round the links. Some of the
scores made were great surprises and
several of the men who played scratch
Saturday will have large handicaps in
future matches. The first five to finish
were:

TAXES NEW LIFE.
NJ, R. and K. officers Are Looking for An
other Chance in Kenosha.

The officers of the Milwaukee, Ra-
cine and Kenosha electric line are in
the city today and it is said that they
are attempting to secure from the
council another chance to obtain a
right of way through the city.
Nothing of definite nature has as
yet been known, but Vice President
Bishop and the council will meet for
an informal conference on the subject.
What can be done under the present
condition of affairs can not now be
seen. The franchise granted to Fred
s. Comstock by the preceding council
covers the same streets which would
be rH3ed over by the through line
should they attempt TO secure a fran
chise from the present council. The
various members of the company have
made several statements in regard to
what they will do for the city in order
to get right of way, but thus far no
action by those men has been taken.
The promoters of the local line project
have not in any way made any change
in the course they outlined in the be
ginning and have steadily refused to
make any offer or concession to the
company until their tracks have been
completed. 1t is reported that the
new local line will be laid, notwith
stanking the kick londged against it
by the present city administration, as
soon as the war is over and the money
market becomes normal again. The
members of the company say that the
stand taken by the mayor has retarded
the progress Of their work, but that it
has in no way invalidated their fran
chise and they are ready and willing
to defend the work of the former coun
Gil in the courts.
A move is said to be on foot by the
NJ, R. & K company to build paral-
lei line along the route outlined by
the Comstock ordinance, and if such
a thing is contemplated great legal
fight is expected.
