BIG CELEBRATION
Ocean Park Pier opened-All About q
Bath Suit

SANTA MONICA, Aug. 30.-An immense
crowd attended the moonlight barbecue
and clambake given by Messrs. Kinney and
Ryan at the Ocean Park pleasure wharf
last night in celebration of that structures
completion. The southsiders now have a
good, substantial pleasure wharf in their
part of town, 1850 feet long and supplied
with floating dock for the accommodation
| of small boats, and they showed their ap-
probation last night by assisting in every
way to the enjoyment of the occasion.
| Great quantities of beef we're barbecued
| and thousands of the juicy bivalves were
steamed to a turn, while gallons of steam
| Ing coffee were served out to the visitors
| Dozens of tables were arranged ON the
sand at the approach to the pier and these
| were presided over by number of south
side ladies. A band of music was In attend
ancs and lovers of dancing tripped the
light fantastic toe at the end Of the wharf
Altogether it was the biggest affair of the
kind ever given on the beach here.
e. A. Truens. proprietor Of restaurant
on the beach, appeared before Justice
Wells this morning to answer to a charge
preferred against him by Roy Jones, of
stealing a bathing suit. The arrest was
made some months ago, but the case has
dragged along ever since for one cause and
another. Many bath suits have been stol-
en- from the north beach bathhouse, and
when a suit was found on a stranger which
had the mark of the above-named bathing
establishment on 1t, and which had not
been rented to him by the employees, he
was asked where he got 1t and replied that
It belonged to Truens. The latter was ar
rested and charged with stealipD the sutt
for the purpose of making an example TO
other offenders. But Truens claims that
the suit was turned over to him by man
in payment Of a debt, and he has several
witnesses to corroborate his statements,
| and 1t looks as though Mr.. Truens will not
be the unwilling example to abstractors
of bathing suits. The Judge has taken the
| case under Amusement until tomorrow.
| The town trustees condemned the old
Santa Fee wharf as unsafe yesterday and
instructed the clerk to notify the of1icials
Of the company Of their action and TO
either repair or remove the structure.
| The ladies of the Maccabees entertained
the members of the lodge and their friends

short program was rendered and refresh
ments were served.

have been caught here for some time. One
of the big fish threw the king Of the dudes
hand on the handle of the reel, where he
had been Keeling in line, and took quite a
little patch of skim of one of his knuckles.
Dan Mcfarland was out in the launch
Adelaide in the afternoon and found that
the fish had stopped biting, his catch
amounting to three yelowtail and one
lonely barracuda.
Moonlight Parties
. The moonlight has made trade for the
launches particularly good. Last night
the launch Sunbeam was chartered by Mrs.
Trusel and steered down to Seal Rocks
and out to sea. The guests were Mrs. Kerk-
hoff, Mrs. c. A. Adams, Mrs. Z. r. Blanch-
ard, Mrs. H. l.. Elizade, ]. Waldere Kirk
and o. A. Jones' On the way down and
back Captain Clarence Jargstorff enter
tanned the party by singing. The launch
Adelaide and the yacht Fleetwing also had
parties out, and the boats for few brief
moments as they passed were all close to-
gether and exchanged greetings.
After the Goats
Charles Bell was out for a goat yester-
day and got just about all that he wanted.
o'clock and 1t was after midnight when he
reached 1t again. He went over to Silver
canyon and on the way up one of its rami-
fications shot goat, cutting off one of the
fore | egs. Billy however, at once COM
menced to run off and after hasty shot
and miss Mr.. Bell followed i, on foot. AS
he was crossing one Of the range tops he
saw what he thought was the same goat
and took shot at 1t. 1t was another FORE
foot aim, and he, too, went away on three
legs In the most approved fashion. Mr..
Bell is SO well known for his Kindness OF
heart that he never will cause anything
to suffer. and 1t Is needless to say that he
followed first one and then the other until
he had reduced them both Then he had to
find his way back to Avalon.
The Muttonhead Club
In friendly rivalry to the celebrated Tuna
club, an association of fishing farmers has
been formed with the following propa-

encourage the pursuit of still fishing, es-
pecially the capture of sheepshead and

ssS@AAaA8 iAfoHOS pocsiblts u encourage all
piscatorial fabrications, and, finally, to get
AL the enjoyment out of Avalon possible,
which means keeping awake twenty-five
hours In the day. 1t Is understood that H.

OF the trusts OF the United States.

my last conference with the American
General Shafter.. Santiago de Cuba was
taken Awars that my troops were rene no

The boys are not allowed to indicate de-

present conditions many would like to be.
Many are students almost ready to finish
their college course. others have positions
waiting for them which they would like to
retain. They are so run down by camp
diarrhoea that they are fit subjects for
typhoid, while none OF them will be fit for
active service If they are kept In camp a
few weeks longer.
You have laid the blame at the door of
the colonel, which is self-evident fact to
an onlooker, without a word from the boys.
Several said to me: 'If our friends want
TO do anything for us, don't send to the
colonel; he will suppress IL; send to the

Trimming Grnne vines.

The grape vine will have some fruit no
matter how much it is neglected. When
we consider how quickly vine begins 10
bear, what few failures there are of crops
and how nice and healthy the fruit is, it
is strange that more of it is not produced
upon the farm, says the Farmers Guide.
BY proper management we can have 1t
nice and fresh for four or five months in
the year. SO many people seem to be ig
norant about how grape vine should
be pruned so that 1t will start off in proper
shape, and after ii is in bearing be kept in
proper condition. on account of this lack
of knowledge in pruning the vine runs
wild fails to produce large lucious lunches
as we see them in the market, and thus
neglected is shoCt-lived and not very salts
factory. A grape vine properly planted and
cared for is good for a lifetime. An exper-
fenced grower tells how to prune a vine, as
follows:
Nothing easier than pruning grape vines
If you will first understand that fruit buds
are never produced on old wood.
That this years growth is the only por-
tion of the vine that sends out stems on
which fruit is produced another year
Hence, in pruning, preserve supply of
strong young wood, and cut away the old
and weaker growth.
A one or 2-year old plant when sent
from the nursery may have only one
shoot, OF it may have several.
In any event all are cut off but the
strongest, and that cut back TO within two
| eyes of the base.
These two eyes will produce shoots and
when they have made a growth of a few
/ inches, rub off the weak one and let the
strong one grow until September, when
| the end of the shoot Is pinched off to ma
| ture and riDen the wood.
! Late in the fail cut this shoot back TO
| three eyes. All side shoots and suckers
! should be pinched off. The second year
! the strongest shoot from these three eyes
! should be preserved as before.
Side shoots or laterals will appear on the
| same. 50 soon as a leaf one inch in diam
! eter has formed the shoot should be pinch
| ed off with thumb and finger.
In a short time the leaf will become full
size and mature a bud at its base and
send out a new shoot, which should be
| stopped.
The third year two or more canes may
be permitted TO grow, with branches to
compare with vigor of vine, and trained
I ia various ways. A few punches of fine
fruit may also. be expected.
Trim all the vines in the fan, leaving
spurs or canes of new wood containing
two or three eyes each for next seasons
| fruit
With strong growth at least three-quar-
| tiers OF the vine should be cut away.
With good care the vine Will give abund-
ance of fruit under almost all methods OF
treatment. and should find a friendly trel-
lis in every farm and village home.
little study and observation will en-
able one to prune and train the vine cor
rectly.
The essentials are good varieties suited
to your locality, a warm rich soil, wei
drained. clean cultivation, severe pruning
and. in Northern states especially, winter
protection.
