Welcome New Factory During

SAN BERNARDINO,, Dec. 2l.-When
there was opposition in the sale of ice in
San Bernardino the price dropped one-half,
and when the combine was made the price
went up 100 per cent A. move is on foot
to establish an ice plant here the coming
summer that promises to be a success. The
founder sent to the board OF trustees of the
city last evening asking for sope concessions
in the matter of taxes on the plant for a
year or two, and although it could not be
legally promised it was evident that the
assessor and board of equalization combined
would do about the right thing for the new
enterprise. 1t is proposed to put the plant
near the Santa Fc depot and secure the
contract for furnishing that road with all
it's ice, which now has to be hauled here
from, a distance.

SANTA BARBARA IS EXCITED
Over Very Substantial Rumors of I'm
provement in Facilities for the
Carriage of Produce

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 2l.-The visit
to this city of certain chief officers of eX-
tensive railroad and navigation corporate
interests in the northwest has caused con-
siderable speculation locally. Gentlemen
like {. j. Smith, formerly receiver of the
Oregon Railway ard Navigation company;
j. d. Farrell of Seattle, chief officer of the
Great Northern railway; John l.. Howard
of San Francisco, of the Pacific Improve
ment company, and Captain Edwin Goodall
of Goodall, Perkins & Co., do not travel
from aiar to meet each otherin secret con-
ference for nothing. They were not met
here by S. b. Hynes of Los Angeles for
mere courtesy Santa Barbarans remember
certain statements made by the San Fran
cisco Chronicle some time ago that the
Great Northern would assume control of
the Pacific Coast Steamship company, with
other related properties, such as the Pacific
Coast railway, from San Luis Obispo via
Port Hartford to Los Olivos in Santa Bar
bara county. And now a new coast line of
steamships has been pictured, paraleling
the Southern Pacific's new coast hne to-be,
when the gap is closed. The meeting took
place at the Arlington hotel on Sunday,
after general survey by all those named
except Mr.. Hynes, the others coming down
across the mountains from Los Olivos by
private conveyance Captain Goodall admits
that the Pacific Coast Steamship company
has under consideration new line of fast
steamers between San Francisco, and San
Diego, to touch only at Santa Barbara and
one Los Angeles port. This line will COM
pete with the Owl flyer of the Southern
Pacific people. The steamers will reach this
city at eight or nine o'clock a. M, instead
of in the afternoon, as now. The prospect
is that all this is to be done in the near
future.
In the shrievalty contest centers all in
terest. A certificate OF election was mailed
to Nat Stewart at Lompoc, and unless an
order from the superior court intervenes
Mr. Hicks must certainly give place to Mr..
Stewart. The Hicks people apparently ad-
init this will close the contest. Judge Day

FOSSIL REMAINS
Tempt Professor Thatcher Back to
Patagonia

NEW YORK, Dec 2l.-Prof. Bell Hatch
er of Princeton has gone back to Patagonia
to continue his search for rare fossils and
explore the interior Of the country. He ex-
poets to be absent three years Two years
ago he entered the country, but i'll health
forced his return to Princeton this fall. A
months rest was all he would take.
Prof. Hatcher's trips are made with only
a couple of Indians as guides. Every trip
up the country means voluntary exile from
the world for six months. He lives and
works with his old guides, never seeing a
white man from the time he leaves the coast
until his return. He was the first man to
introduce an American wagon into Pata-
gotia, carrying the parts along with him.
On the first trip he got together valuable
collection OF fossils. The fossils of Pata-
gonia resemble the specimens found in our
Western country, There are Varieties Of the
old three-toed horse and also remarkable
animal which was the ancestor Of the mod,
ern ant-eater.
In dry weather Prof, Hatcher will work
on the seacoast, where the remarkable rise
and fall of the tides unearth the bones in
the cliffs along the shore.
Prof. Hatcher is graduate of Yale. He
had already won a name for himself as
Western scientific explorer before he open
ed UP the new field in Patagonia.

Money

This is the time of year when we meas
ure our friends in dollars and cents:
when we sit down and figure over to see
how much money we can rake and
scrape together; how much of 1t we owe,
how much we must pay. how much we
can borrow, and how elastic our credit
Is. If you want to make little money
so long way, try us on Christmas stun
things that usually sell at big profits
and see how we sell EN-. Try us on Um-

Handkerchiefs, Neckwear, Cuff Links,
Shirt Studs, Shirts. Underwear, Fancy
Hosiery, Hats, Nightrebes, Cuff Boxes,
Travelling Sets, Whisk Brooms, etc, esc.
Any gentleman will appreciate some-
thing in our line as a Christmas present
far more than anything else you could
give him. You know a man never has
too many neckties; then he must have
gloves, and the other fixings which add
to his appearance and comfort. Take /
look in our windows before you make
your selections. You'll be glad you saw
