the young lady is expected on Tuesday
or Wednesday and that the house Is
rapidly being prepared for her arrival.
IT is said that Miss Busch will be aC-
companied by her father, although the
servants would not state that they had
information to this effect.
During the summer just passed the
grounds about the great mansion at
the end Of Arlington drive have been
the scene of great activity and the
slope west of the house is now ter
raced and covered with flowers until
it is said by competent judges to be
the finest hillside garden in all South
ern California. The house itself has
been thoroughly renovated and every
thing is in shape for the arrival of the
millionaire brewer it's owner.
AS far as can be learned the warrior
lover of Miss Busch, Lieutenant Schar-
rNr, has not engaged quarters at any
of the local hotels. At any rate few
days will tell just what portion of the
stirring Busch drama the Crown City
is to witness.
Sierra M Madre Line Busy
The new Sierra Madre line of the Pa
cifc Electric railway did great busi- |
ness today, hundred of people taking |
advantage of the first Sunday holiday |
to visit the little city of the foothills. |
Probably five hundred people tried the |
magnificent trail which leads up the
Santa Anita canyon and ate their pic
mic lunches by the side of the noun
tain brook at the bottom of the cayou |
Many of them walked to the summit
of Mt. Wilson and return for a
glimpse of the new resort there. Man |
ager Rich entertained over seventy |
five guests during the day, although |
the new hotel is badly handicapped |
just now by having its water supply
supplied with abundant water from the
reservoir on a nearby peak. the pipes
being laid from the reservoir to the
hotel on the cool side of the mountain. |
A few days ago with the temperature
but II degrees above zero this pipe
was frozen somewhere. A force of men
began work at once in an effort to |
thaw out the pipe but thus far the eX-
act place where the water is frozen |
has not been found. This entails great
hardship on the management of the
hotel in procuring water for the various
needs of the guests but does not seem
to have lessened the crowd of visitors
from the valley below. The water sup
ply at the great solar observatory has
not been interfered with by the cold
weather. the observatory reservoir be-
ing supplied with water through a pri-
vate pipe direct from the well located
in the vicinity of Strains camp on the
north side of the mountain. Among
the visitors at the Mt. Wilson hotel to-
day were the following well known Los
Angeles gentlemen: Harry Gamble,
Charles H. Carey, Prentice Lebus, =. |
A. Rife, B. s. Hook. Fred Levitt, j. !
c. Kane and Roy c. Johnson.
"Resting on His Laures"
Humane Officer p. e. Sherwin is
finding very little 10 do in his line
these days, owing no doubt to the
energetic manner in which he has been !
locking after the duties of his office !
during the past few months He says
that for several weeks not a single |
case of beating or mistreating of horses |
has come to his knowledge and that he
feels certain that animals ali over the |
city are being better treated than here
tofore. Tomorrow Officer Sherwin will
kill three horses, all of which are too
old and feeble to longer work. One of
these horses has been driven for years
by a local fish peddler and in that
time has been abused and starved until |
to allow him to be driven longer would |
be the height of cruelty. The own
ers of the three horses have made no |
protest and have willingly turned the I
animals over the officer to have |
them put out of their misery. The |
annual meeting of the local humane |
society will be held on Saturday, jan |
uary 10.
Water Company's Election
The stockholders of the North Pasa- |
dena Land and Water company held |
their annual election yesterday for the |
purpose of choosing directors. All of
the regularly qualified electors did not |
vote and the election was therefore |
continued until tomorrow afternoon. |
The following men have been placed |
in nomination: D. w. Lewis, Villain |
Dodge, Thomas Stone. Byron Lisk. NJ. |
d. Painter, w. M. Eason and G.. NJ. |
I3urlingame. Because of the company's |
experience recently in attempting to |
sell it's plants to the city the election |
is rather heated, those who favored |
the sale forming one party in the cleo
tion and those who opposed it the |
other party. 1t IS said that a determ- |
ined effort is being made to oust from |
the secretaryship of the company d. |
w. Lewis. the incumbent. because |
of the stand he took in reference to |
the projected sale.
