HIGHLAND MISCELLANIES
Purchase or Construction of Mountain
Road Being Considered

Special to The Herald.
HIGHLAND, March 13.-The project
for building a new mountain road
that has been under consideration for
some time by the supervisors, has
fallen through. The three PROPOSE
tions considered were the Brookings
City creek road, leading to Fredalba,
offered for $4,000; the Arrowhead road,
which extends to Skyland and Little
Bear valley, for s25,OOO, or the building
of new road at a cost estimated at
from $35, 900 to $4,000. The board of
supervisors has ignored the city creek
proposition, and the new road idea was
thought to be too expensive; conse-
quent1y they are down to the point of
buying the Arrowhead road or none.
This is by far the best road in the
county, and during the winter rains
has not been damaged in the least.
The matter was temporarily laid over
until the supervisors can make trip
of inspection to the mountains.

EARTHQUAKE FOLLOWS
STORM AT VENTURA
AND RIVER 0VERFL OWS
By Associated Press.


VENTURA, March 13.-Ventura has
been storm bound for thirty-siX hours.
No telephone, telegraph or railroad
communication has been had for that
time on account of the high water and
heavy rains of the past two days.
More rain has fallen than. at any time
for twenty years. Railroad traffic is
paralyzed and it will be days before
traffic is resumed. The railroad
bridge across the Santa Clara river
has gone out. The Ventura river over
flowed it's banks and the lower part of
Ventura has been under water, caus-
ing much damage and great loss Of
property. A heavy earthquake shock
occurred here at 12:45 today.
Isaac Newton, traveller, attempted
to cross the Ventura river in a surrey
His rig was carried down the river
and he only escaped by catching in
the willows, where he hung from Sun
day until Monday at 8 o'clock. He was
almost dead from exposure when res
cued.

out abatement; then the wind slack
ened, allowing the rain to continue.
At 6 o'clock this evening SIS inches
had fallen as a total of the storm. The
damage to boats in the harbor will
amount to $4,000, while the damage
to the pier, over which the waves broke
continually, tearing railings and planks
loose and throwing them on the beach,
was great. The new East boulevard,
which the city has recently completed,
was damaged for over 1900 feet, the
waves tearing the asphaltum up and
carrying the bulkhead away.
The state of California gave this
port wide berth this morning, pass
ing the Queen on her down trip at 5
o'clock. The Queen had great difficulty
in landing here and only succeeded in
doing so after threatening her hawsers,
which recoiled into the crowd of sight
seers. The crew report the toughest
trip they ever experienced. The Che
halls and Santa Monica are anchored
in the channel. The Lompoc school
house was unroofed and several other
buildings wrecked.

SAN BERNARDIN0
Breakwater Plline Washed Away at
San Pedro-Reports From
Other Points Show
Heavy Loss

srecial to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, March 13.-At
least one life has been lost in floods here.
A Mexican walking on the track in the
Cajon pass was caught by the flood
and carried down the stream. The
body was recovered this afternoon.
The name Of the victim has not been
learned.
The outlook tonight is that trains
will not be gotten through Cajon pass
by the Santa F'e until tomorrow night,
possibly not until Wednesday. General
superintendent Hibbard and Division
superintendent Hitchcock arrived to-
night by special train and are bending
every energy in directing the army of
300 or more men in getting the line
open.
Three overland trains which have
been held here all day were detoured
by way of the Southern Pacific east
tonight Westbound trains are being
detoured to Los Angeles from Barstow
by way of Mojave.
The passenger train for San Jacinto
on the Santa Fe was wrecked at Per-
ris, engine and cars all being thrown
from the track, but no one was injured
seriously.
Lyttle creek has cut back into its
old channel near Cotton, where no
water has run for thirty years. Much
damage has been done to power plants
of the Edison company in Santa Ana
and Lyttle creek canyons and the
of the Arrowhead hotel.
General superintendent 1. L. Hibbard
of the Santa Fe is directing the work
of opening the line, but the task is a
big one. In places great boulders have
rolled down from the mountain sides
onto the track, some of them weighing
hundreds of tons. The only way to
remove them is by blasting. Three
trains have been plying
between this city and the
pass all day carrying material and
men.
This city just averted a domestic
water famine today by having a pump
ing plant that could be used in emer-
gency. The main from the big reser-
voir to the city was broken by the
flood, shutting water off temporarily.

means SCOTS Emulsion be-
cause you cannot take the
clear oil; no one can take the
clear oil who needs cod liver
oil. The doctor understands
that and doubtless means

oil which everybody can take

MYSTERl0USLY
George c. Merrill Disappears Under
circumstances Suggestive of
Suicide, and Searching
Party Sent Out
Pasadena Agency.
ia East Colorado Street

PASADENA, March 1S.-Soon after
o'clock Saturday morning George
G. Merrill, the 20 year old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Albion Merrill of 720 East
Villa street. left home and 1t is feared
that he has committed suicide. He
carefully removed from his clothing
all traces of name and address, and
left his watch and every cent of money
he had in his pockets. For some time
he has worried over his inability to find
a more lucrative position than that he
was holding, and for a week or more
he had not slept well.
No other motive than discourage
ment can be imagined, as he was of
excellent habits and his home life was
happy. But every indication shows that
for several days last week he evident
~ contemplated suicide. He left his
position with Mcbride Printing COM
pany, 316 West Second street, Los An
geles, where he was greatly liked and
in the line of rapid promotion, last
Wednesday, and when asked on Fri
day If he had found a place replied,
.d
l have other plans" Friday afternoon
he purchased cartridges at the Pasa-
dena gun store on North Fair Oaks
avenue. From the setting of the
alarm clock, it is supposed that he rose
ct Saturday morning and left soon
after, awaking no one in the house.
From that time no trace of the young
man has been found.
The police this morning notified the
mountain rangers north of the city to
be on the lookout for the boy. They
favor the theory of suicide, as there
seems to be every indication of a delib-
crate planning to take his life. 1t is
known that on Friday he wrote long
letter addressed to his parents and sis
ters. but as yet it has not been found.
The young man was about five feet
seven inches tall, had dark complexion
and hair, brown eyes, and weighed
about 140 pounds. When he left home
he wore a black clay worsted business
suit, buff linen shirt, blue tie and
black Fedora hat.
A search party of dozen or more
young men will start out in the morn
ing, headed by some of the local police.
