POINTER FOR THE BOYS
How Two South Pasadena Volunteers
Got Good Places

SOUTH PASADENA, Cal, June 1S.-The
primary meeting for the election of two
delegates to the Populist county conven-
tion will be held at the residence of Elias
Longley, corner of Mission and Prospect
avenue.
A. F. McReynolds and wife of the Santa
Fe railroad depot arrived home yesterday
afternoon from months rest and recrea-
ton in visiting relatives In Seattle. They
look all the better for their long journey.
OF course they stopped over In San Fran
cisco to call upon their two sons in the
Seventh regiment, that is about to be
transported to the Philippine Islands. Af-
ter tedious searching among the thousands
of soldiers in camp up there, they were
found, but not in camp with their former
comrades. Both had been detailed for spe-
cial duties. Cecil was doing service with
the signal corps, as telegraph operator, and
Frank was acting stenographer in General
Merritt's staff for the judge advocate. Both
will probably start with their regiment for
Manila next week.
The example of these two brothers shows
what little judicious practical education
will accomplish for young men. Three or
four years ago Cecil and Frank were half
but Frank wanted to learn something that
would pay. and got situation as errand
boy in shorthand school, thus paying
his way for six months. Since that time
he has been almost constantly employed
as stenographer, and resigned a good po-
sition in the Los Angeles bank to join the
army But instead of remaining in the
ranks, he is now doing professional SER
vice, along with men of culture and infiu-
ence, at largely increased compensation.
And Cecil, who studied telegraphy with his
mother, has become railroad agent and
operator, and now fills responsible po-
sition in that line. Fortunately, both
have studied the Spanish language, and are
thus doubly prepared to make themselves
useful in their new field Of employment
Instead of sleeping in tents, and enduring
the many privations of soldiers, they now
occupy a comfortable room and enjoy
wholesome and abundant food.

RAISED EVERY YEAR
The Fine Record Made by Long Beach
Postoffice

LONG BEACH, June 1S.-Despite the
drawbacks of a dry year, scarcity of
money and hard times generally, Long
Beach has steadily increased in popula-
tion, as is evidenced by the 800 raise in
the salary of the postmaster owing to in
creased business, which goes into effect
July 1st.
In 1894 the office was rated fourth
class up to October, when it was made
a presidential office, with a salary of
s1100. Every year since that time. with
the exception Of 1896, the salary has been
advanced $100 per year; the excepted year
the raise was 5000, showing no other
postoffice in the state can duplicate, and
all this with the business being somewhat
curtailed by the establishing at Burnett
(Signal HilD of another postoffice, the
people of that section being hitherto de-
pendant for their mail on the office at
this place.
A large number of the members and
friends of the Society of Pennsylvania
held their annual basket picnic here on
the beach yesterday.

of a small affair to j. D. Mercereau of

ture will be 675 feet, and a width of
twenty-five feet, except for the last 100

on private ground owned by Jones & Ba-
ker, midway between the Southern Pa
cific franchise and the bath house.
The first Saturday afternoon band con-
cert of the season was given today at the
bluff band stand.
Notwithstanding the predictions of
many that coast resorts will suffer for
lack Of patronage this season, this ham
let seems to be getting her usual share of
summer residents. Among those who

Waldo j., the noted racer belonging to
Jimmie Mack of Hueneme is now on his

The fruit season this year will open
up some weeks earlier on account Of the
dry season, as the warm, dry weather
ripens the fruit very fast. Owing to this
fact, Ventura will not have a cannery his
year, as the time intervening between
now and the opening of the fruit season
is entirely too short for the erection of the
plant. Had the cannery been built it
would have employed 400 persons for
about two months.

A PfRILoUS VOYAGE
DANGEROUS TRIP OF THREE LOS
ANGELES MEN
Several Times They Narrowly Escape
Death-Capt. Dodge Returns to
the North With Recruits

SAN DIEGO, June Isl. P. Har-
tranft of Los Angeles reached this city,
coming overland from Lower California,
after an eventful experience on the pen
insula and in the gulf Of California. He,
| with two other men, left Los Angeles on
April 1st for the purpose of locating a
ledge on the gulf coast of the peninsula
| which Is supposed to be the source
Of rich placers not far from San Fran
cisquito. They started from Yuma in a
small fiat-bottomed skiff, and their first
terrifying experience was when they
heard the bore" of the tides at the
mouth of the Colorado. When we'll into
the gulf, Hartranft and companions
found themselves surrounded for hours
at time by big sharks, some Of them
measuring fifteen.or twenty feet in length.
Mud flats along the shore prevented a
landing unit some distance down the
coast, and on these could be counted
thousands of mammoth turtles. Several
times the whole party believed they
were doomed to a watery grave. Har-
tranft was sick when they reached the
mining camp near San Francisquito and
for three weeks was under the care of
his companions and some Mexicans.
When partially recovered, Hartranft and
his party started on their journey across
the peninsula, and lost most of their
provisions. They existed on one and a
half flapjack at a meal, and the meals
were eighteen hours apart. When the
party reached Rosario, seventy miles be-
low San Quintin, they were hardly able
TO stand up. There they remained long
enough to recuperate, when Hartranft
left for Ensenada, covering the distance
in seven days.

THE APRICOT MARKET
Outlook Changes for the Worse at
Pomona

Out1ooA SAduSeS LUZ tuo WoTSe dC
Pomona
POMONA, June 1S.-It Is evident that
those who have apricots to dispose of will
again experience the difficulties of pre-
vious years in marketing their green fruit,
and unless they have facilities for drying
the crop, will have to sell at the bottom
market prices. The favorable prospects
of a week ago have suddenly changed and
options secured at that time on several
orchards ranging In price at about $40 per
ton have been withdrawn by the buyers,
and a SIS offer substituted. Should low
prices prevail, there appears to be a gen.
eral determination amongst the farmers
to dry the fruit in hopes of better mar
ket later on. 1t may be stated in this re-
gard that last year several of those who
were offered but IS per ton dried their own
fruit and realized therefrom at the rate
of SIS per ton green. In the majority of
cases where sales have been made to date,
1t has been through the anxiety of buy
ers to secure cling peaches and who had to
take the apricots in order to secure the
other fruit.

NO CHURCH DINNERS
Ladies Will Now Show Their Inde-
pendeuce

SAN BERNARDINO, June 1S.-The COM
mittee of fifteen on the Fourth of July
celebration have put their managerial foot
in it, and no mistake. At the meeting
held last night they passed the following
resolution:
Resolved, That it Is the sense of this
committee that the dinners announced To
be given by various organizations on the
Fourth of July are an injustice to many of
the contributors to the Fourth of July
fund, and that the committee would much
prefer that they should not be given. And
the committee of fifteen requests and de-
mands that all such proposed dinners be
abandoned
That is a direct blow at woman's rights,
for if there is any prerogative claimed by
women 1t is to give two-bit dinner on
any and all occasions, when they hold
cooking fair, and the one who bakes the
best pot of beans or makes the best chick
en- pie is allowed to boast of the fact for the
dinners announced for the Fourth from
the churches, w. r. c. and others, and the
restauranteurs and hotel men who contrib
ute to the Fourth fund claim that it is an
infringement on their rights, although
