GRADING CAMP IS
GROWING RAPIDLY
OPERATIONS NEAR BEACH
TOWN MYSTERIOUS
Citizens Speculate as to Future Devei-
opments and Gaze in Wonder
at Work Now Being
Carried On
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, April 14-Seven
cars of laborers and horses arrived over
the Southern Pacific early this morning
and were at once added to the already
large grading camp, which three miles
north of Port Los Angeles is fast lay
ing the way for a standard gauge rail-
road.
Yesterday there were approximately
seventy men and fifteen teams engaged
at the work; today there are two hun
dred men and eighty teams on the
ground, with the prospect of more
coming.
There appears to be no one at the
camp excepting Contractor C. w.
Street, who has the arrangements in
hand, who knows for whom the work
is being done or with other than a
surmise as to the scope or detail OF
the plans.
Hustle and hustle is everywhere in
evidence and mum" is the watchword
At this time, with more than 500 feet
of graded territory finished, the labor
ers are fast progressing northward
With the additional recruits which are
arriving almost hourly and are being
forwarded from points as far away as
Yuma, Arizona, there seems to be good
reason to believe that the operations
are evidence of what has long beer
suspected namely, that H. e. Hunt
ington is promoting a coast line rail-
road between this point and San Fran
cisco.
Contractor Busy Man
Contractor Street could explain. per-
haps, but he is very busy man these
days and to all inquiries begs to be
excused. He says, however that he pays
tho tUorIxn1eD and that he receives his
orders from headquarters" but
whether headquarters" means Ninth
and Main streets, Los Angeles, or some
other place is left for the ipquisitor
to find out. @-n4
Locally it is believed that the Gould
interests are directly diverged from
Harriman's and there is little credence
given to ever present rumors of either
interest being directly responsible for
the present complicated and unfathon-
able state of affairs.
At Malibu, thirty miles north of
the camp in question, another camp
consisting for the most part of sur
veyors and utility men, may be seen
industriously engaged running line
close to the shore, which could con-
meet very nicely with the Port Los
Angeles project.
No Rolling Stock Arrives p
To date no rails, ties or other evil
dences of the advent. of rolling stock
has featured the proceedings, but that
part of the program is matter OF
small moment at this critical period In
the operations,
From somewhere the report has been
waited into business circles that the
project is being advanced by the

THIRTY DOLLARS DISAPPEARS
Charles Simpson Almost Inclined to
Believe That Spirit Thieves
Touched Him

Charles Simpson is the victim of
spirit thieves-at least $50 mysteriously
vanished from his wallet while he was
riding from Los Angeles to Long Beach.
Some embarrassment was felt by
Simpson yesterday afternoon when he
came to pay a bill at the Long Beach
city when he discovered that his money
was gone.
At first Simpson thought that he
had been robbed, but he recalled no
time when his pocketbook could have
been taken from his coat and re-
placed.
In explaining matters to the Los An
geles detectives last evening. Simpson
said that he nearly believed that his
money had been spirited away. When
he arose yesterday morning he took his
purse from under his pillow and placed
it in his breast pocket.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-15

The amount reported up to date is
S177,190, passing the half way mark
at the middle of the month and leaV-
ing $172S1O to be secured within the
next fifteen days.
J. r. Carr, president OF the carr q
Stephens Wholesale Grocery company
is the chairman of the executive huild-
ing campaign committee of the Y. M
C. A., and it is under his immediate
supervision that the work of canvass
ing the city for funds for the new
building is being carried on.
Mr.. Carr, together with the other
members Of the executive committee
and directors of the association, Will
from now on devote large part OF ms
time 10 this work. The one purpose
these men will have in view for the
next two weeks will be the securing
of funds for such n building as VIII
enable the Young Mems Christian as
sociation of Los Angeles to fulfill its
entire mission.
Speaking of the building movement
Mr.. Carr said:
Building Must Be Erected
"rThe Young Mems Christian asso-
citation building must be erected There
is no city in the United States whose
citizens have greater cause for pride
in what they have done along the line
of municipal accomplishment than Los
Angeles 1t is only a few years, COM
paratively speaking, since this city
was Incorporated, yet its achievements
during this period have been of a char
acter to place it in the front rank OF
American cities of its class, although
many of these are much older.
LOS Angeles citizens have a we'll
deserved reputation for enterprise and
public spirit, which is not eXcelled by
any other city of it's rank. But, while
this has been true up to the present
time, if it is to remain true the same
degree of public spirit and enterprise
which has characterized the citizens
thus far must continue. There are
many reasons for believing that this
will be as true of the immediate future
as it has been of the past
Enterprise Must Not Fail
can enterprise is now before the
people of Los Angeles which must not
be permitted to fail by reason of their
Indifference or through lack of a gen.
erous response on their part. AS has
been said heretofore, Los Angeles is
the only city of it's size or Importance
in the entire country which has nc
Young Mems Christian association
building. Not only is this true, but
than Los Angeles which have such
buildings, For instance, the city OF
Dayton, o., with a population of $4,000
is erecting a building which, with
equipment will cost half million
dollars. They figured it out as an
investment that would pay the best
possible dividends.
~. A. Leonard, superintendent of the
Ohio reformatory, in recent address
str f6n it1aVN Nr.ta
tive over reform agencies, bringing
forth comparison between the re-
formatory and the Dayton Young
Mems Christian association.
"He pointed out that in one case $500
young men of Dayton united for self
Improvement and service, paying two
thirds of the $4,000 annual expense of
the Young Mems Christian association.
In the other case 1900 unfortunate
young men are under forced training in
order that they may, if possible, be
brought back to place in the world s

MANY ADMIRE EASTER EXHIBIT
That Shown by Mrs. Louise G. Potts
the Most Elaborate Ever
Seen Here

The Easter exhibit made by Mrs.

bone building was one of the most elab-
crate of the kind ever seen in Los
Angeles.
Mrs. Potts has kept large force
busy for several weeks preparing the
Easter garments for many Los Angeles
society women and the creations shown

work. The citizens of Ohio pay $780,
coo year for their care in prison.
Makes Comparisons

"In the one instance the citizens put
annually into the Young Mems Chris
tian association about $4,000 to help $500
young men to become good citizens;
in the other the citizens of Ohio put
$105,000 a year into the care of 1900
unfortunate young men in trying to
bring them back into a place in the
world and a standing in the communi-
ty. In other words, the citizens of
Dayton pay about $500 apiece toward
helping young men build character and
make men of themselves, while on the
other hand the citizens of Ohio are
paying $3.50 a head to reform 1900
young men.
"The lot upon which it is proposed
the new building shall be erected has
already been provided, and now the
public is asked to subscribe $350,000
to erect and equip the building. Ger
tainly no resident in this city, having
its best interest at heart would for
moment desire that building of
this character costing less than this
amount should be erected here. OF the
required amount nearly $175,O00 is al
ready subscribed.
Time Specified Nearly Here
"One of the large subscriptions is
contingent upon the associations rails
ing the full $S50,000. More than one
half the time has already expired and
only one-half of the amount has been
subscribed. While there has not yet
been any faltering or wavering on the
part of the members of the committee
having the matter in charge, no one
who has watched the reports made
from day to day has failed to notice
that the amounts donated during the
past few days have not been as large
as they should be.
This opportunity is one that pre-
sents itself to every individual as an
enterprise whereby with little or no
personal sacrifice there may be Sc
cured another improvement of great
value to the city. But it is also ap-
parent that unless every individual
who can possibly afford to do some
thing puts his shoulder to the wheel
Los Angeles will fail where no other
city of the hundreds that now have
handsome Young Mems Christian as
sociation buildings have failed.
"To the citizens of no other city has
the Young Mems Christian association
appealed for building and failed to
get it, 1T must not fail in Los An
geles. For Los Angeles to fall down
in this project would be a serious blow
to that reputation for enterprise and
public spirit which has been SO well
earned.
"Omaha. only half the size of this
city, raised $275,000 for this purpose;
Duluth, with only $4,000 people, raised
S1S0OOO; st. Paul raised $25S,0O0; Den
yer, with a population of 100000, has
just completed a campaign and raised
1894 900. Los Angeles is bound to make
good in the task which has been set
before her."

4 National Theatre

Fio'eac- Rockwell, who has imper-
aonated many Shakespereian heroines
with mlrI;ej success, writes in the
May Deli ',Jor of the importance Of
establishing a national theatre if for no
other reason than to produce the
splendid plays of Shakespeare. Miss
Rockwell says:
The drama in this country needs
aome such representations, for the
play wright as we'll as for actors, and
what better could happen for the
drama than to have standard produC-
tions of Shakespeare's plays. To the
playwright they would offer an object
lesson in dramatic construction and
literary style and divert his work from
Che insipid society play or riotous
musical comedy of to-day, thus raising
tae whole average of American dra-
natic authorship.

Stewart that he would accept the

rendered him The Chambersburg
Repository, published in his home

nomination, but his friends believe
that should it be thrust upon him
lie could not very well decline.
The feeling over the stateis strong
j. in his favor and this being the

How Japs

Such thing as weakling is hardly
known in Japan. The wonderful endur-
ance of the japanese soldiers and sailors
in the recent war has been the marvel of
all nations. Both men and women are

The reason for this, so careful invcsti-
gators tell US, is that the japanese from
childhood up know how to keep well
through care of the digestive system. If
they have trouble with indigestion: heart
burn, wind on the stomach, loss OF appe-
tite, sleeplessness, headaches, rheumatic
pains, back-aches, or any of the other
troubles caused by weak stomach, they
treat themselves with some of the princi-
pal remedies that compose Mi-o-na, a
