The DRUMMER,s DREAM.
RELATED By HIMSELF.

One night a Drummer dreamed a dream
And dreaming dreamed he died,
AND stra1ghtway to the Pearly Gate,
His Sustained spirit HE'D.
And there before the saints he stood
With downcast head and low,
my records pretty rank he said,
Il guess I'm bound below.
I've smoked lot and drank lot.
Confess it all, I must,
AND hlrted, too, and then besides

With kindly smiling eyes,
But shook his head, Don't ask. :" said he.
"a Mansion in the skies.'' s.
But let me ask some questions, sir,
"Are you travelling man."
The sinner bowed, and in this strain
The Aged Saint began:
you've gotten up at four a. m.
And chased the train mile
Amid the train crews gibes and jeers
Astounding all the while.
And then you found as usual,
The time cards played its trick,
You've chased the wrong train once again
Aud yours goes out at six.
You've taken some gay merchant out,
And spent Ten or more,
And then he calmly says he's bought
His goods the day before.
You've spent your life at bad hotels,
And eaten still worse meals,
With Oleo' and Waiter Girls
All run down at the heels
You've had your letters sent astray,
Your trunks have wandered, too, -.
With porters, clerks and baggagemen
You're in constant stew
And once month you see your wife,
Now tell me, is it sou

'Ah well,' said Good St. Peter
AS he opened the portal wide,
I'm very glad to meet you, sir,
Just kindly step inside.
Well try and make you happy here,
Well do the best we can,
You've served your time in Hades,
For you've been travelling man.

NEW COUNTY PROPOSED

The thriving town of Pomona has
precipitated the long-expected contest
for the establishment of the new
county of San Antonio, and the people
of San Bernardino are suddenly awak-
ened to the fact that they will have
a royal battle on their hands If they
would successfully interpose.
The Pomona board of trade is now
distributing its literature" and print
ed arguments to show why a new
county should be formed from the
southeastern part of Los Angeles
San Bernardino county. The board
of trade proceeds on the assumption
that Los Angeles city and county will
be consolidated. at some early day,
| and that the lines of the proposed
consolidation will be drawn at the
west line of the Azusa Rancho, in
cluding the mouth of San Gabriel can
yon and following south along the
west lines of the Azusa Rancho to a
point south and west of Puente and on
to the Orange county line. Therefore
it is proposed to attach all that por-
tion of Los Angeles county southeast
of the aforesaid line to a portion of
the southwestern section of San Ber-
nardino county and thus fashion the
new county of San Antonio.
Included in the section to be de-
tached from San Bernardino county
are the thriving and beautiful towns
of Upland, Ontario, Chino, Cucamonga
and Etiwanda, splendid citrus belt
that forms the garden spot of San
Bernardino.
So far as Los Angeles is concerned,
we apprehend no serious objection to
the proposed new county. Pomona
has been always opposed to consoli-
dation with Los Angeles and always
desirous of setting up house for itself.
With San Bernardino the situation is
different. 1t could i'll afford to lose
its citrus belt, together with the
splendid towns that now contribute
so largely to county support and
county affairs. And the San Bernar-
dino newspapers are hot on the trail
of Pomona, declaring that the whole
movement is merely for the purpose of
gratifying the ambition of Pomona to
become a county seat.
We are inclined to think that San
Bernardino has occasion to protest,
and if it's citrus belt towns remain
loyal to their old county the hopes of
Pomona will be slow of realization.

ANOTHER RAILWAY LINK

1t would not be expedient for Lo'
Angeles to build a railway on the route
of the Owens water aqueduct if fail
arrangement can be made with a, rail-
way company to supply the need. Rail-
way business is not an industrial line
as an absolute necessity.
The work of constructing the aqua
duct would be facilitated greatly by
railway along the line, and there is
reason to believe that the saving
thereby in freightage would compen-
safe for the cost of a railway beyond
the Southern Pacific connection at
Mojave. If that supposition is correct
it may be advisable for the city to go
into the railway business to that ex-
tent.
The Southern Pacific company now
has under consideration a tentative
proposition made by the city through
the mayor and other officials at a con-
ference in San Francisco. AS the COM
pany's managers have entertained the
idea to that extent it may be inferred
that the final decision will hinge upon
the terms of agreement.
A railway connection between Los
Angeles and the great watershed in
Inyo county would add an important
business feeder to the city in addition
to it's service in the building and main
tenance of the aqueduct. There are
inexhaustible supplies of borax that
would be tapped by such railway
as is projected and promising gold
prospects are distributed over a wide
area. There is reason to believe that
railway facilities would lead to the
development of vast mineral resources
in Inyo county, which is in line with
the aurlferous fields of Nevada, not far
distant.
The fact that the Southern Pacific
company has pigeonholed surveys of a
branch line running from Mejave into
Inyo county, on a route almost iden-
tical with that of the aqueduct,
strengthens the belief that the COM
pany will now accept the city's propo-
sition. If the aqueduct requirement
alone would be sufficient to warrant
the construction of such line the
prospect of it's business would seem to
be sufficient to decide the question that
the company has considered heretofore.
The railway branches projected into
the Nevada gold fields by the Salt
Lake company are beginning to add
materially to the business of this city,
and the proposed branch of the South
ern Pacific on the aquaduct lire would
undoubtedly have similar effect.

FIGHTING AT THE TOP

The storm center of San Francisco
tribulation has ascended to the uppe
level The riotous wrangle between
strikers and strike-breakers has ceased
to be the chief focus Of public atten
tion. Millionaires and other leading
men of affairs are in the thick Of the
fight now, and the trouble has broad
ened in proportions. What the mex
development will be is beyond the
ken of prophecy.
Gov. Gillett looms up in the pres
ent stage of San Francisco's woes. As
result of close observation during
four or five weeks of rioting and mob
dominance the governor concluded that
a committee of leading citizens was
the one thing needful to restore the
industrial equilibrium of the city.
The governors idea was well received.
that 1T will form rallying point for
the decent, conservative element,
which wishes to see law and order
preserved and business confidence re-
stored" And now a committee of sew
enty-five representative citizens" is
to take a hand in reducing the fevered
pulse of San Francisco to it's normal
condition.
But it seems that there is wide
divergence of opinion about the class
o. eminent citizens who correctly rep
resent the best interests of the city.
The official graft prosecutors and their
hackers declare that large percent
age of the high-level citizens are
closely allied, in a business and social
way, with the rich corporations that
are charged with corrupting city Of
fcials by their grating process.
And now the Inflated city seems
likely to see the strike trouble shifted
in part to a bitter contest between
two high-up factions, each posing as
the only genuine San Francisco SAL
walton army.
Meantime. with the deplorable stu
alton that has resulted from the five
weeks of San Francisco's official
to mob violence-five weeks
of indecision on the part of the peo-
pie the city authorities and the gov
ernor of the state. Railway traffic is
still hazardous and is operated at all
by kind permission of rioters rather
than by virtue of the law.
And then note the general situation
that has been reached as a conse-
quence of five weeks of temporizing
with instigators of mob violence. Ac-
cording to an official investigation |
there are 10000 persons idle in San |
Francisco as the direct and indirect |
results of the existing labor troubles"
AS an indication of the quite gen. |
eral stoppage of building operations it |
Is said that "up to month ago archi-
tects took craftsmen who could not
speak English and were glad to get
them; now there are four or five ap-
plicants in every office daily and no
work to be had"
And while San Francisco is thus
paralyzed its officials and representa-
tive citizens are quarreling in groups, |
and Governor Gillett appears to be |
as spineless as jellyfish.

BETTER PAY FOR TEACHERS

In an editorial urging better salaries
for public school teachers the Sacra
mento Union says: Sacramento doeI
not want to take the refuse teachers
of the state and allow San Francisco
Oakland, Stockton and other all-the-
year-round cities to take the pick Of
the lot, but this will be the final re-
suit unless Sacramento pays as other
cities pay"
And this will be the final result in
Los Angeles unless this city, which
has heretofore been first in all en-
terprises, shall determine to give the
teachers a square deal.
The board Of education is willing and
anxious to pay the teachers an all
year-round salary, but it has found
itself unable to comply with its own
wishes by reason of lack of funds.
In ord,r 20 obviate this difficulty Su-
perinteno ent Moore has asked the city
council to allow the full &c per cent
for school purposes authorized by the
city charter. DR.. Moore calls attention
to the fact that heretofore the allow
ance has been only IA per cent, pro-
ducing fund insufficient to maintain
the schools at a proper standard.
With the maximum of 20 per cent
accorded. the board of education could
then pay the school teachers a de-
cent salary, and that's what every
taxpayer in Los Angeles wants done.
Otherwise we shall soon lose to San
Francisco, Oakland and Stockton many
of the splendid teachers who have re-
mained and are remaining with us out
of pure loyalty to. Los Angeles.
Whether the compensation shall be
for the full year, or so increased that
the salary for the school term will be
a reasonable one for the whole year,
is only a technical difference, but it
would look better and sound letter to
make provision for an all-the-year-
round salary, placing Los Angeles in
the same class with San Francisco |
Oakland and Stockton.
1t is rather humbling to local pride |
C be found-even in only one respect
imping behind any other California |
ity. Three cities are already in advance |
If US in this movement. We should |
ose no time in promptly stepping out
lhead. as Los Angeles always does.

Hooper Drug Co. Refund Money II
Mona Falls to Cure.

You may ask why it is that
Mona stomach tablets are sold
by Hooper Drug Co. under a
guarantee to fund the money I'M
less they cure, when no other
statement for stomach troubles is
sold in this manner.
The answer is simple and con-
elusive.
Other medicines TO stomach
troubles merely digest the food,
while Mi-o.na Strengthens the
. whole digestive system so that it
soon becomes abel to care for all
the food that is eaten.
If you do not use your arm or
leg for a month. the muscles be-
come fabby and weak ard you
have to resort to artificial help.
1t is the same way with the
stomach muscles. If they are not
used, they become so weak that it
is necessary to continue using a
digestive with the food you eat. = !.
:. On the other hand, when you
use Mi.o.na, your stomach soon
grows so strong that you can give
up the use Of medicine.
Mi.o-na cotss 50 cents a box
and does more real good than q
dozen boxes Of ordinary digestive
tablets The proof of this is
shown in the fact that a guar:
'antee, absolute and unqualified, il
given by Hooper Drug Go. witt
