WELCOME TO REEVES
Returns With the Nomination Of State
Treasurer

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. Silt was a
night of verbal bouquet throwing, and Tru-
man Reeves caught 1t on all sides. He had
been notified what to expxect on his arr.
val, so he came in on the last train, that
the darkness might hide his bushes. He
was given a hand-shake by a. few friends
at the hotel office and then, headed by the
band, the line of march was taken up for
the opera house. Here 50 0people turned out
to do him honor, listen to the band and have
little mild excitement. Sheriff F. L.
Holcomb was master OF ceremonies and
called on John G. North Of Riverside to re-
peat his nominating speech made at Sac
ramento. He prefaced his remarks with
an apology, saying he was glad to be able
to look the San Bernardino people in the
face again." Hon. w. ]. Curtis, a political
opponent, followed and complimented Mr.
Reeves highly. Senator E. c. Seymour was
next. Then came selections by the Gaiety
male quartet Of the Orpheum to enliven the
proceedings. Mr.. German of Redlands fol.
lowed, when @. B. Cole, who was an unsic-
cessful candidate at the Democratic con-
vention and In merry mood, stated that
he was sorry the Democratic convention
did not show as good taste with reference
to San Beranrdino candidates as the Re.
publican convention. Other speakers were
Judge H. c. Rolfe, George Frost of River.
side, w. c. Fuller Of Cotton, Major Pow
ell Of Ontario, T. ]. Tording and Judge
Gregg Of San Bernardino Mr.. Reeves was
then introduced for the wind-up. His re-
marks were brief and after Handwriting
the affair was over.
The system Of economy being practiced
in San Bernardino by the city trustees will
bear fruit this season in cutting Off a month
or two of all the schools. The board OF
education made their estimates and asked
for the usual tax levy, but the trustees
thought that IS cents was too much, hence
when Spring comeA and the money Is all
used up for school purposes the schools will
stop and the children be given good long
vacation.
Bert Hadley Is again in the grasp Of the
law on account of Lizzie Emmons, because
he invited her to ride and before proceeding
two blocks two men stole his girl, team and
all from him and drove off. Now Hadley is
under arrest and $1,000 bonds for appearance
for abduction. He was tried once, but the
district attorney dismissed the case for lack
of evidence, but now that the two principals
are in jail Hadley will have to take his
chances with them.

The plan to furnish cheaper electric and
gas lights is slowly Undertaking., and there
Is some stock being taken. It Is propose dto
combine another industry with the forme
and Include an ice plant IN addition to the
lighting and electric railway. One build
ing will serve all purposes and the same
power will run the four plants cheaper
than they can be run separately. AS Col
onel Sellers would say, 1.-THE thing looks
WE'LL" but whether there's millions in it''
time will determine
