SEVENTH WAS ROUTED
The Wind Captures Camp Pratt and
Holds Inmates Prisoners

Laughing and shrieking it's battle-cry in
savage glee, hurting countless millions OF
sandy missiles, northwcster charged on
Camp Pratt shortly before dawn yesterday,
capturing the stronghold of the Seventh
regiment. All day long it continued to
assal the camp in unabated fury. All day
long the tall tree1 of the park writhed and
twisted in the blast. The large wooden
building groaned and creaked as the wind
went bowling round the corner carrying
with it showers of fallen leaves or clouds of
binding dust The morning reveille was
almost drowned by the noise Of the wind
and the buglers were forced to seek shelter.
At l0:3O the church call was sounded and
the boys, with many expressions of disap-
proval, prepared to march to the grand
stand, where the exercises were to be held.
After this call, the gale, as though mad
dened by the preparations being made to re-
sist its authority, increased to such degree
that recall was at once sounded, and the
men marched back to quarters. In the
meantime the sentries, who had been sta
toned along the edge of the grove, marched
to and fro in laborious fashion, fighting
their way inch by inch. At the end of the
day these custodians of the camp were OBJ
;.cts to behold. Their long capes and soft
hats We're gray with dust, and their faces
showed such marked traces of encounter
with Don Adobe that all could easily have
passed for the dusky natives of the country
they had hoped and prayed to be able to
fight.
The marches to the, mess hall were made
on the double quick and the returns in the
same manner. Each spoonful of food be.
came coated with thin layer of the native
soil before it could be raised from the plate
When it became apparent to the officers
that the wind intended to be master of the
camp, no attempt was made to observe the
daily routine. The order was given to dis
rense with the usual exercises, thus allowing
the men to dispose of their time as they
pleased.
The wind was great disappointment to
the boys, as it. was the means of keeping
away large crowd of visitors. As it was,
less than 1900 people visited the park, many
of them being the usual devotees of the
coursing sports.
Today the usual routine will be observed
and the work preparatory to mastering out
will proceed.

BUSY WEEK IN STORE
LEGISLATORS AND
OFFICIALS HAVE TO WORK
Water Arbitrators to Open Sessions for
Hearing Of Evidence Today.
Council Forecast

The ensuing week promises to be one OF
unusual activity in local municipal affairs,
in spite of the nearness Of the city election.
Today the taking of testimony by the
board of arbitrators which was appointed
to assess the value of the plant OF the Los
Angeles City Water company will begin, and
will continue until all evidence with any
direct bearing on the case is i'll. As yet, the
evidence has not been classified, and it is
not known just how or in what manner the
testimony will be taken. Since the ap-
pointment of the third arbitrator, the board
has been investigating the plant relative to
the condition OF the pipes, machinery and
water supply. The members have familiar
lied themselves as to the general working
OF physical condition of the plant and are
now in position to appreciate the force and
value of testimony.
1t is the purpose Of the arbitrators to de-
termine the value Of the entire plant and
also the price the city must pay. 1t is under
stood that much OF the testimony will be
from experts, who have been inspecting the
plant for the company, and who will be
called as witnesses on questions of value.
Another phase of the matter will be the
consideration Of the extensions in the plant
since the estimates of value made by the
city in July of last year. No limit has been
placed on the time the hearing will take,
and it will depend entirely on the number of
witnesses examined. Col. George IL. Men
dell. the third arbitrator, arrived from San
Francisco last night.
At the meeting of the council today bids
for the four new bridges soon to be built by
| the city will be opened and referred to the
board of public works. These bridges are to
be built with the proceeds received from
the sale of the bridge bonds, which amount
to about $4,000. Local firms, as well as San
Francisco bridge builders, have prepared
bids, but it is probable that the former will
secure the lions share. The petition asking
that University be taken into the city may
also be presented.
1t is not unlikely that another attempt to
amend the salary ordinance will be made.
This, however is but possibility.
Tuesday the new street sweeping system,
which will be operated by the city, will 60
into effect. From that date, it is said, clean
streets in the business district are assured
Street Inspector Schwabe will on that date
sever his connection with the city health
department and will be transferred to the
street department.
If the police commission convenes on Tues
day, H. Schmidt, the saloon keeper whose
license was revoked because Of charges made
against him, will be on hand to demand a
hearing. Mr.. Schmidt claims that the charge
that he helped to drug and rob customer
is wholly incorrect. It is believed that his
protest will be ignored.
Friday the board of public works and the
fire commission will hold joint session for
the purpose of considering the bids for en-
gine house sites.
