CITY DELAYS ITS ANSWER
Pasadena officials Are Preparing to
Install Municipal Plant at
at Once
Special to The Herald,

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 5.-The city at
torney has not yet filed an answer in
the suit of the Edison Electric COM
pany in the federal court, and from
present Indications he is not disposed to
hurry.
City Attorney Wood states that it
may be fully another week before the
city's answer will be filed and that
meanwhile the administration is going
ahead with it's preparations for install
ing an electric lighting plant as auth
orized by the recent bond election.
The fact that no injunction is now
in force against the sale of the
$125 900 bond issue, coupled with the
delay the city is showing In joining
issue with the later suit, indicates that
some sort of arrangements have been
made for the disposal of the bonds
and that the project is therefore going
forward with as little delay as pos
sible.
Mayor Waterhouse is reported to have
gone to Cedar Rapids, Ia, on business,
and it is generally believed that the
business is in some manner connected
with the municipal electric lighting
plant Meanwhile the bids for cleo
trical equipment are being hurriedly
| collated and made ready for submis-
sion to the proper authorities. None
of these figures have yet been made
| public.

SAN BERNARDINo is GROWING
Building Operations Show Increase,
notwithstanding Greater Cost
of Material
Special to The Herald.


SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 5.-Not-
withstanding the big increase in the
prices of building material the build
ing permits for the first seven months
of 1906 show small increase for the
same seven months last year. The
total of the permits to August this
year reached $2O4,447, as against s2O2,-
1892 for the same period last year.
The prospect for the coming six
months is for large amount of build
ing. A better class of buildings is
generally being erected all over the
city this year than last, and much is
being done toward beautifying the city
generally.
On the latter question the civic de-
partment of the Woman's club has in
augurated plan for the beautifying of
the city by the planting of shade trees
all over the entire city. The club wo-
men have already large tree nursery
started, the trees to be planted along
the principal streets this fall. The
work is then to be followed up next
year with more tree planting, until
the city shall have the best system of
shade trees of any city in Southern
California.

LOCAL BALL PLAYER DIES

General regret will be felt among
Los Angeles fans as a result of AL
Bresinos death at Butte, Mont. about
eight days ago. Bresino had been
playing with the Butte team I'm the
Northwest league and his death came
after a sudden and short illness.
The decedent gained diamond re-
nown years ago in Los Angeles as a
member of many of the old teams
which provided baseball here prior to
the opening of the Pacific Coast league.
Breslno had recently signed contract
TO captain and manage ball team In
Mexico for next season. agreeing to go
south because OF an attractive money
consideration.
Breslno was at one time a member
OF the Seraph team under Jim Morley,
who was Obliged to let the youngster
go because of his light hitting. AS a
fielder Bresino performed nothing
short Of marvelously. but his weight
OF not more than lis pounds acted as a

brain is beginning to clear, so that an
Intelligent idea of the accident can be
obtained from him. 1t is understood
that with the best of care probably a

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 5.-There
are now about thirty white people In
the Lucas camp in Mission canyon,
learning the doctrines of the Limit
less Life" from the "black prophet"
DR.. Ira Alamazon Lucas unwound a
new line of thought and explained fur
ther mysteries of the "Limitless Life
in lecture at the Plaza del Mar.
"The Omnipotent One never placed
a harmful bug or germ on this earth
to destroy mankind" said he. Germs
do not infest healthy being: they are
rather the Scavengers of the human
system, consuming the poisonous and
neglected matter. l love the dear
germs.
1--WE believe in spending more time
in the arena of thought-love. This is
a beautiful world to live in, and
don't believe in rushing off to heaven.
BY living the full life we have, we will
be in a better state to enjoy the life
to come. The angels are not looking
for any rusty, worn-out, rotten people
up there. They want good company,
but don't take the hurry-up wagon to
get there"
When Lucas called for inquiries one
man stated that he wanted to get a
wife, but couldn't find one. Lucas
stated that 1t must be his fault, and
not with the women. Every human
being has a corresponding soul mate
of opposite sex somewhere. He SIM
ply hadn't found his.

WILL INVESTIGATE DRYER
Pasadena Health Board Appoints &
Committee to Study Methods
of Fair Oaks Plant
Special to The Herald


PASADENA, Aug. 5.-A committee
consisting of the city health officer,
DR.. Stanley p. Black, and j. j. Bleeker
has bee nappointed by the city board
of health to investigate the complaints
against the North Fair Oaks fruit
dryer.
T.. w. Giddings, the principal op-
ponent of the dryer, has been told by
the city council that whatever relief
he obtains must come from the board
of health, and at his request the COM
mittee was appointed AS soon as the
fruit driver is put in operation for
handling the peach crop these two gem
tlemen will take whiff of the sulphur
fumes which those who reside near the
dryer say are overwhelming and which
doctors say are injurious I'm the ex-
treme.
The owners, Erickson e. Co, deny
that these fumes are carried to the
next lot, where Mr.. Giddings lives, and
refuse to move on. One thing is GER
tain and that is that the land ON which
the dryer is now located is becoming
so valuabl as prospective residence
property that the dryer must soon be
moved to a cheaper site.
For the present. at least, the owners
have secured an attorney and propose
to fight all efforts made to prove the

OBSERVATORY CONTRACTOR IS
LOSING NO TIME
Freight Truck for Use on Widened
Trail Up Mt. Wilson Is Ex-
peeted to Serve In
Blasting
Pasadena Agency,
16k East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 752.

PASADENA. Aug. 5.-Many people
visited the Mt. Wilson resorts today
and the cottage hotel a. the summit
enjoyed what was probably the best
day of the season up to date. The
Woodhouse brothers were at the peak
last night from Pasadena and furnished
music for the regular Saturday evening
dance at Strains camp, which was a
most enjoyable affair.
Many who. visit the peak these days
are trying the new trail in order to get
a glimpse at the work going on there
for the widening of the trail. The
observatory people have force OF
sixty-five men at the lower end of the
trail doing the loose work, cutting down
brush and grubbing away the loose
stones. Fifteen more men Will be added
soon.
No blasting is yet being done, but
when the truck comes this part of the
work will be pushed. This freight
truck will be equipped with an electric
drill for just such work as this. 1t Is
to have an electric motor and a gaso-
line motor for each of its four wheels,
and with its steering apparatus at both
ends will no doubt be q curious though
effective contrivance. Arrangements
are being made 10 make the trail uni
formly eight feet wide throughout as
originally contemplated and the task
Is an enormous one.
Through Solid Rock
Anyone who has followed this eight
mile trail from it's foot just below
Esperanza in Eaton's canyon, to the
summit plateau of Mt. Wilson, Will
wonder how a trail of the desired
width can ever be made. But those
having the task in hand do not hesi-
tate. 1t will require many wide cuts
in the solid rock and many walls built
out into the canyon, but with time ana
money 1t is not impossible
An interesting feature of the work
is the probable disposition of the trail
after it has served it's temporary pur-
pose Of allowing the transportation OF
the observatory machinery and instru-
ments. OF course the trail is still the
property of the Mt. Wilson Toll Road
company of this city, .of which William
r. Stats is the present head. Will the
trail, once again in this company S
hands, be made into a passenger trail
for burro trains. an automobile trail
for the passage of a passenger automo-
bile on the modified plan of the pecu-
liar freight automobile truck now about
ready to be used, or will that long
hoped for electric railroad become a
reality with this magnificent trail as
a foundation? 1t can be fairly stated
that the owners of the trail have no
settled idea themselves as to what
will be the outcome of the present i'm
portant work 1t seems reasonable to
suppose, however that passenger traf-
fc to and from Wilson'S peak will
somehow advantage by 1t.

the double track. franchise for the
Santa Fe railroad in 1 street, from
the present yards at Fourth street

SO recommend to the city council at

The property owners on the street are

and 1t was at their suggestion that the
matter was taken UP by the board of

track on the street has been there
twenty-one years, but business has
increased to such an extent that 1t is
necessary to double track to Highland
Junction.
The board Of trade recommended that
crossing bells be placed at a large por-
tion OF the crossings, that the APP

guards be maintained.
1t is also possible that a strip fifteen

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 5.-A wall
of water several feet in height rush.
ing madly down the Truxton canyon
was the strange and rare sight wit
messed by the passengers on Santa Fe
overland, east bound, in Arizona one
day the past week.
AS the train entered the canyon and
made it's way slowly up the heavy
grade, a big storm was noticed hang
ing off to the east some miles. Sud-
denly the passengers heard roar, and
glancing out saw the wall of water
rushing down the canyon in what was
a moment before almost a dry creek
wash of white sand.
The water carried everything before
it, and in an instant the wash was a
roaring torrent.
The train. however, was not in
danger as the level of the tracks
through the canyon had been greatly
raised since the disastrous floods of
two years ago when several miles of
track were taken out.

PENSI0NING OF VETERANS
URGENTLY SUGGESTED
Old Frank and Kitty and the Others
Are stu Full Of Spirit, but
Hard Knocks and Age
Tell on Them.

The police department is said to
stand in urgent need Of new horses for
the patrol wagons and an effort is
being made to secure permission from
the city council to pension several Of
the veterans who have seen hard
service.
Frank, the old sorrel is d years old.
His running mate, Kitty, who confesses
to 3 summers. has learned to put up
with his set ways and arrogant man
ners, but a new animal probably would
have trouble from the start.
Frank once upon time was coupled
with a horse that matched him In
color, but his former mate proved un-
equal to the work and he was disposed
of. Kitty Is a chunky, mild-dispo-
sitioned beast. She would make fine
family horse, but she is considered too
slow for police work.
officer F. W. Plischke Is driver and
Sam Mckenzie is wagon man of this
team.
Show Signs Of Long Service
The favorite team is Billy and Bob,
both about 16 years old. They are coal
black, sleek and handsome in appear
ance.
Billy is a great favorite with Chief
AuDle, ana Ine animal presents u Ilne
appearance as a saddle horse.
The blacks are well bred and they
would make a good gentleman's team
for easy work, where speed is not es-
sential Both show the signs of long
service, and no doubt long for green
pastures far removed from the sound
Of changing gongs and hurry calls.
Frank Abbott is driver and Officer
A. D. Hurt wagon man of the team.
Driver Abbott takes good care of his
charges and knows he has good, steady
horses in front Of him, which have
never failed in tight pinch. Gentle
as kittens, Billy and Bob reach their
heads from their roomy box stalls and
whicker for dainties whenever any one
approaches.
Old But Full of Fire
The third relay of horses consists of
Prince and Dick. the lively grays that
are driven by Jack Mart, who gained
his experience in service as cowboy
and government Inspector of cattle
and livestock on the plains. He was
also q member of the fire department
before his appointment to the police
force.
officer r. L. Heath, one of the popu-
lar young officers, is wagon man, and
the two men have been in several
thrilling experiences together. A long
scar on Dicks back tells of a narrow
escape from death of the officers when
a car collided with the patrol wagon
some time ago. The horses have run
away more than once and despite their
age of 16 years, they are still ready
to bound away at the least pressure on
the reins.
Jack Mart is perhaps the only man
in the station who can rightly handle
the team. He knows them through the
entire horse alphabet and they know
him.
On hurry call the grays dash
through the crowded streets and cover
the ground in record time, but the
work has told on both, and Dick is
reported to often tell his mate in con-
