SAN PEDRO HEREINAFTER.
Stupendous Piece of Work That Is Being Done by the United
 States Government.

On the coast of southern California. about 600 miles south of San Francisco, lies the port of San Pedro-a port, that is, when the weather happens to be good, says the Search-Light. For five years past the United States govern ment has been engaged on stupen- dous piece of work, whose purpose Is to make San Pedro safe and capa- cious harbor refuge. To effect this and afford secure anchorage for vessels of all sizes, the inner harbor needed to be dredged and an outer harbor con- structed. The latter is being done by the building of an immense breakwa- ter, second to none in size huge wall of rock 64 feet high, 190 feet wide at base and 20 feet on top, and extend tnS two-thIrds of a mile into the ocean.
 This work, begun in 1900, is now well under way. During the past year i,o0O,0OO tons of stone were laid, rough stone being used for the bottom and well smoothed ones for the top. laid in regular courses, but without mor- tar, the purpose being to give it we'll hnlShed look. A double-track trestle extends outward, built on piles and ll,000 feet long. On this is a railroad extending inward to the quarries where 1000 tons of stone are shipped daily.
 There are great cranes along the trestle. which seize the blocks of gran lte-those of the superstructure weigh Ing eight to ten tons-and lower them to their allotted places. The comple- ton Of this work, which will COST about $5.Q00,000, will give San Pedro and indirectly Los Angeles, a harbor or refuge of over one mile square, and deep enough for the largest vessels.

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY TEST
Novel Experiment to Be Made Dur ing Eclipse of the Sun Next
 August.

One of the novelties to be attempted at the eclipse of the sun on August 50 next is to apply color photography to the observation so that record can be made of the appearance of the chro- mosphere and corona. The plan, says the Search-Light, is to employ the three color process. where screens of different colOrs are used with three different plates, each screen cutting off light of various colors, so that when positives from the three plates are made and used with light of a color corresponding to the screen the result ing picture has the colors of the orig inal
 For the eclipse photographs a cam era with three lenses and three screens will probably be employed, as it is necessary that the exposures shall be made simultaneously. As the plates are sensitive to the different colors in different degrees there will be a prop erly adjusted diaphragm or stop for each lens, so that the same time of exposure will suffice for all The color phenomena of a total eclipse of the sun are considered most beautiful. and great interest attaches to this method of reproducing them.

liffle Rock Wins Both.

Nosing out in each game by the narrow margin of one run, and each time waiting until the eighth inning to pull into the lead, the Little Rock club acted as hosts at delightful soiree yesterday, the Montgomery club led by one smiling John Malarky, being the victims. The record crowd of the season turned out, attracted by the two games for one price of admission" and nobly were they repaid for their loyalty, for the Colts romped through Is in nlngs without slip-up in field ing, and although they did not establish any new batting rec ords, they annexed exactly the necessary bingleS to cop both games and send them two full games ahead'of their Senatorial opponents.

THE EXPERIMENT MIGHT
BE WORTH TRYING

]. F. Marr remarked to the writer
this morning that he recalled a heavy
frost that visited northern Illinois on
the 18th of May, about twenty years
ago, and froze all the leaves on the
fruit trees but did not entirely destroy
the crop, especially the apples.
Realizing that there was no hope
for the original foliage and blossom"
said Mr.. Mari, many people stripped
the leaves and dead bloom from the
trees with view of assisting nature
in the work of recuperation. In due
time new leaves came out and the
trees blossomed a second time, al
though not SO generously as at first.
THE trees treated in that way pro-
duced about one-third of a normal
crop, the fruit, however, being larger

ORATORIGAL CONTEST
TO BE THIS EVENING

The oratorical contest to take place
at the First Presbyterian church,
this evening, between representa-
tives of the Canon City and South
Canon high schools, for the cash
prizes recently offered by Guy q.
Hardy, promises to be one of the most
spirited of the kind ever given here
and should attract a large audience.
There will be eight contestants, one
young gentleman and three young Ia
dies from each school, and the am
bition to secure first place has awak-
ened a keen, but good natured rivalry
among them; a guarantee of an ex-
cellent program of entertainment
There is nothing that appeals with
greater force to the intellectual facul-
ties than oratory. and, to encourage 1t
as an accomplishment, Mr.. Hardy has
made perpetual a prize of $25 in gold
to be competed for annually by the,
students of the high schools Of Fre--
mont county. 1t is hoped that the
Florence high school will be repre-
sented in the contest next year, which,
il is regretted, it was unable to do
this time.
The arrangements for Thursday
evenings competition are in the
hands of Prof. F. F. Thompson and
Prof. H. E Smith, and that nothing
will be left undone to make the occa-
sion a success goes without saying
among those who know those gentle
men As a subject of study. oratory
has been neglected in the public
schools of recent years. Mr.. Hardy's
prize is offered in the hope that in this
county, at least, it will be given the
attention it deserves.
