LINE ENDS AT POINT FlRMIN
Pacific Electric's San Pedro Extension
Opens SUNDAY

On Sunday, February 10, the extern
sion of the Pacific Electric railway be-
yond San Pedro, it's present terminus,
to the government breakwater and
light house on Point Firmin, will be
open to the public, and local cars will
run through from Fifth and Front
streets to the end of the line.
The government breakwater has long
been a favorite resort of the fishermen
but they have had difficulty in availing
themselves of it, owing to it's inacces-
sibility. From now on it will be of very
easy access.
The view from the present terminus
of the line at the light house is one of
the most beautiful anywhere on the
coast; the bluff at this point runs in
sheer ascent of $50 feet above the sea
level; the beach itself 'iffers from any
other beach on the south coast in be-
ing very rocky. Abalones are found
there, and number of seals upon the
rocks add interest to he scene.
With the opening of this extension
one of the most delightful trolley trips
available is made possible.

BOY
TRIES To DASH
OUT BRAINS
Knocks Head Against
Hard Post
TwelVesYear-oId Fears Imaginary
Terrors of Detention Home and
Attempts Suicide Rather
Than Go There

Tired of a vain struggle against being
forced to go to school and fearing the
imaginary horrors of arrests and deten-
tion homes, little Louis Peterson, T.
year-old boy, twice attempted to COM
init suicide while under the charge of a
truant officer Thursday night.
The story of the little boys despera-
tion was told before Judge Wilbur in
department of the superior court yes
terday afternoon during the trial of the
Juveniles, and the boys humiliation and
evident desire to reform and be bet
ter little chap won him the clemency
of the Judge who allowed Louis to re-
turn home with his mother.
For the past two weeks, according to
the statement of the truant officers,
Louis has been absent from school.
During that time his mother dressed
him up in his good clothes every morn
ing and started him for the school
house. The boy would start according
to orders and would return promptly
after the school hour.
Finally Louis teacher wrote a note to
Mrs. Peterson asking why Louis had
not been at school for the past week.
The mother investigated, and so did the
truant officer, and Louis admitted that
he did not care for school, and in fact
with a school or a school building.
Thursday an officer called at the
Peterson home to take Louis to the de-
tention home, pending his examination
in the Juvenile court. Mrs. Peterson
explained to her son the nature of the
trouble and told him that he would
simply have to sleep at the detention
hime and would be we'll taken care of.
Tries to Knock Brains Out
The boy did not seem startled by the
declaration, but while the officer was
not looking he made a dash as though
for liberty. Before the truant officer
could interfere Louis hurled himself
headfirst against one of the square
wood pillars of the porch. The blow on
his head from his attempt to knock his
brains out hurled him to the floor, and
he explained that he wanted to die be-
cause he was afraid of being arrested
and didn't want to go to school. Ac-
cording to the officers statement, Louis
remarked that if he had a knife he
would kill himself.
Yesterday on the witness stand Mrs.
Peterson corroborated the officer S
statement about the lads desperate at
tempt at self-destruction, but Louis
only hung his head and refused to ad-
nit the deed.
The officer then stated that while he
was taking the boy to the detention
home Louis made a second attempt AMI
dashed headfirst against a telegraph
pole, with no more damaging result
than a bruised forehead.
Louis is a very small boy and does
not appear to be over Z or years of
age. Judge Wilbur took pity on his evil
dent distress and gave him chance TO
be good by releasing him to the custody
of his mother.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. S.-The war de-
partment has found way to get even
with the Union Pacific and North
western railroads for refusing to haul
the Tenth cavalry from Nevada forts

Although the soldiers We're scheduled

the men until March 1, on which date
the colonist rates are put in effect on
all western railroads, and the soldiers
will be hauled at one-half the regular

WHERE ESCORT SHOULD RIDE

Perhaps one may say here that in
accompanying a lady the escorts place
is always upon her left AID never, as
is conventional. upon her right. Thus
placed the mans right hand is always
at her disposal, and he is between her
and all passing dangers in traffic
where Gas in America) we turn to the
right. In other countries the position
on the rigat is proper; but this custom
of holding the reins in one hand and
mounting only from the left side we
have adopted without any reason.
While the two latter details are not
necessary in civilian riding the former
is improper for every reason in any
riding, nor has the single objection
argued against it-that a man II thus
placed bump the ladys left leg and
possibly bruise her-any weight II we
allow that such an escort must, to be
thus ranked, be at least a fair horse
man, and in reasonable control of his
own horse. He may, riding thus, save
her from falling, and even lift her en-
tirely off.-The outing Magazine.

NEARLY TWO HUNDRED Pill
GRIMS COME TO LEARN
Stanislaus County Excursionists Visit
Los Angeles to See Her Charms
and to Study Her Ways.
Delayed by Wreck

Nearly two hundred sons and daugh
ters of Stanislaus county-the gateway
county of the great San Joaquin valley
came to Los angeles last night to
learn why Los Angeles is known all
over the world, of her system of pub
licity and promotion, and incidentally
to imbibe some of the justly renowned
Southern California climate.
Because of a wreck of two oil tank
cars in a tunnel near Ravenna the party
was delayed thirteen hours, and
weary wait it was the eXcursioni3ts had
at Mojave.
They retired when they reached the
city, and for that reason the evening
reception in the chamber of commerce
rooms was called off and 1t will be held
instead tonight. Nevertheless, the local
committeeman, their wives and a la
dies orchestra repaired ID Hotel Hay
ward, where the 1856 visitors are shell
tered, and had a brief reception and
Misunderstanding there.
Wealth in Water
Stanislaus county, and her principal
cities, Modesto, Turlock and Ceres, Is
known for it's great irrigation system,
900 acres being embraced.
The TuOlumne, one of the San Joa-
quin's tributaries, flows from catchment
basins in the mountains where the an
nual precipitation is upward of thirty
five inches. All this immense store of
water went to waste each year until
1891, when utilization of this latent
wealth was begun. At a gorge in the
mountains through which the river de-
bouches the immense La Grange dam
was built, of rock masonry, near the
town of La Grange. 1t is 12S feet high,
1856 feet long along the top, 81 feet thick
at the bottom and IL feet through at
the top. Its cost was $550,000. The ir-
rigation system embraces an aggrega-
tion of canals that cost 81 500,0 900. This
Is a diverting, not an lmpounding dam.
1t merely raises the surface of the wa
ter to such a level that the waters can
be turned off upon the lands of flank
ing plains.
Municipality owned
The works are not owned by private
capital but by municipal corporations,
created under the state irrigation dis
trict law. The limitations of an area
called a "district" are defined and the
electors within that district vote upon
the proposition of issuing bonds based
upon land within that district, the mon
eys so raised being employed in the ir-
rlgation system.
The Indebtedness of the Modesto and
Turlock districts existing through irri-
cation bonds amounts to about so per
acre, a sum which does not have to be
paid for nearly forty years. By means
Of a tax levy only such amounts are
raised from the district as are neces-
sary TO pay the cost of maintenance,
improvements and interest on the
bonds. This varies according to inn
provements upon The land, from so
cents to 81 an acre.
The land owns the water. The right
inheres in the land, Is not detachable
