SAN BERNARDINO, June 11.-Peo-
pie who have just returned to this city
from the Salton sea report that mill
lions of rattlesnakes, horned toads,
lizards and other reptiles of similar
species are to be seen on the hills that
have become islands by the continual
rise of that new inland body of water.
Some of these knobs that now stand
up out of the water, the ever rising sea
having surrounded them, are literally
one mass of squirmlng reptiles that
have been driven back by the adj
vancing waters of the sea. They are
a great sight for people who visit the
sea, as in five minutes one may see
more snakes than during an ordinary
lifetime.
Some of the residents in the section
of the Salton sea are preparing TO
catch rattlesnakes and manufacture
rattlesnake oil on a commercial basis,
as the oil will bring big price and
with snakes in such numbers it is be-
lieved 1t can be made very profitable
industry.

meeting, lasting ten days. They se-

An amusing incident happened at a
meeting of the Ladies' Home Mission
society just after the meeting closed.
One of the good sisters remarked that
she had fed the ministers while enter
tanning them on chicken and snap
beans. The joke thus started caused
each lady to be asked as she came in
what she gave. to which all replied
chicken and most of them chicken
and snap beans, there being only one
exception, and she replied bacon and
free holders, which, every one knows
is as good as chicken and much better

WILL DEVELOP WATER
AT SOLDIERS HOME
Special to The Herald.


SAWTELLE, June ia contract
has been awarded G. E. Lapp of Los
Angeles for boring and developing
water at the Soldiers home and the
machinery is already on the grounds.
A great deal of inconvenience has
been experienced from time to time
because of the scarcity of the supply
under the present system, which has
been in use since the home was estab-
lished in 1887.
At one time it was almost decided
on this account to abandon this site
and accept or purchase one where a
greater supply of water abounded.
In 1898 it was decided to ask for bids
for a water supply, and since that
time the Los Angels Water company
has been furnishing water under an
annual contract, the water being OBJ
tained by a pipe connecting with West
Los Angeles river and large reservoir
at the home.
The new we'll will be located near the
power house and will cost not to ex-
coed $1,000.
Volume tests are to be made when
directed by the home authorities, but
after casing has been punctured as
specified the well will be thoroughly
tested up to a $50 gallon discharge
per minute.

Telephone company and the East Side
Water company have thus far failed
to furnish the city auditor with the
usual tax statements required for the
making of assessments on their prop

Auditor Kellogg states that Friday.
June 15 is the last day upon which
these statements will be received and
that after that date arbitrary assess
ments as allowed by section 1888 of the
political code will be made.
The condition is a peculiar one and
if the statement of parties near to both
of these companies is to be credited it
means a legal fight between The city
and these two companies, since the two
companies will oppose such assess
ments as the city auditor may make.

Objectionable building and surrender
the lease granted them recently by the
trustees If they are paid back the
amount of money already involved in
the construction of the building. As
a result of the Temporary injunction is
sued by Judge Conrey Of the superior
court no work was done on the new
shell store today. The injunction was
asked for by Il. A. Eastman, another
shell and curio merchant here, to whom
a lease similar to that given Fisher

their petition that Long Beach, because
q city of the sixth class, cannot lease
its water frontage to any individual

A $500 bond furnished by ten citizens
who were vexed because the new shell
store was being built in such a way
that a view of the ocean was shut off
from persons on the land end of the
pier was deposited and Judge Conrey
set the case for hearing on next Fri
day before Judge Trask. The attor-
neys who filed the suit expect the op-
posing counsel to say that the suit is
in reality one brought by private in
dividual to abate an alleged public
nuisance, and that 1t could only be
brought legally. at the instigation of
the state attorney general.
The question of the city's right to
lease its water frontage has been dis
cussed here for a long period. Mem
bers of the council have expressed
themselves as being hopeful that such
a suit as that brought by Eastman
would be filed so that the point might
be settled once for all.
