CHEAP EASTERN RATES
ARE EFFECTIVE TODAY

He of the railroad ticket men who.
with the mild persuasiveness of his
class and a wonderful imaginative abil-
ity when it comes to a description of
the scenery along his route, is able to
sell through tickets to the east these
past few days is classed among his fell
lows as "a wise guy"
Passenger travel to the east Is slow,
very slow. Last year it was different.
The opening of the st. Louis exposition
kept all busy, but now lack of work
has brought slothfulness, and there Is
not a man along the railroad row but
who can describe the first pretty girl
that passed the door early in the morn
ing.
But the lack of patronage of the pres
ent is merely the calm before the storm.
Beginning with today the cheap rates
which prospective travellers have had
their eyes upon for the past several
weeks will go into effect and continue
until after Monday.
AS Sunday is included in the time of
the three days sale, and the offices are
not open on that day, a rush for tickets
is expected to occur today. Several
national conventions will convene in
the eastern, states within the next ten
days, at which California will be rep
resented by good sized delegations

BUENA VISTA STREET
WILL CONTINUE NAME
WILL NOT BE CHANGED TO
NORTH BROADWAY
Protests Filed, Representing Greater
Amount Of Frontage Than Held by
Petitioners, Causing Board Of
Works to Decide Against Change

Buena Vista street is to remain
Buena Vista street. The petitioners
have been endeavoring to have
the name Of that thoroughfare changed
to North Broadway for business
reasons.
The proposition to change the name
was vigorously opposed by the Native
Sons, who argued for the preservation
of the old Spanish names of streets in
the city. The chief argument which
the board of public works considered
yesterday afternoon, however, when
discussing the question was the pro-
test, which represented a greater
amount of frontage than the petition.
Protests were filed by the medical coll
lege, the Catholic Cemetery associa-
ton, the Baker Iron works and the
Southern Pacific company, the latter
signing for 5000 feet. 1t was this 5000
feet which settled the question.
Those favoring the change brought
out the fact that the portion of Buena
Vista street they wished changed was
not named by the Spanish but dur
ing the reign of the Castilians was
known as Eternity street.
In arguing against the change, one
Native Son declared that Buena Vista
means beautiful prospect and then
exclaimed, What is eternity, if not a
beautiful prospect?"
The board of public works believes
in preserving the original names in
the city when practicable, and this is
understood to be the general feeling
in the council. Too much changing
of names is regarded by the city leg
islators as detrimental to the interests
Of the city.

But in another gulse;
No longer Is Il stewed for us

Next day. we have for breakfast prunes;
Again they come at noon;
We hurry home in hopes, at night,
And find 'em there eftsoon!

EXAMINERS BEACH EDITION

From the Santa Monica Review.
Julian Hawthorne has been looking
from the summit of Palos Verdes hill
down upon San Pedro. We happen TO
know that Palos Verdes hill towers
just 1865 feet above sea level, and that
man up there can't see San Pedro
as she should be seen. If you want to
see the breakwater city with the naked
eye, without the aid of glasses, and
touch her and smell her, you want
to get right down on the ground on the
inner harbor side What you see of San
Pedro from that vantage point We
aren't going to print that is, not all
Of it. San Pedro is beautifully stu
ated, but situation is not San Pedro's
strong suit.
