LONG BEACH WATCHES ALL
HARBOR WORK WITH PRIDE
Undertakings Are Reaching Compile
ton Which Citizens Believe viii
Bring Commercial Activity
Into New Channel

While a huge steel section of the
Salt Lake railroad draw'bridge over
the channel between the Long Beach
and Wilmington harbors was being
taken off the car at the bridge site
yesterday afternoon, a heavy chain
snapped and allowed one side to fall.
The section. which weighs 100000
pounds, struck the track and seven
workmen who were standing by the
car had a narrow escape from serious
injury. Two of the big steel pieces
for the channel drawbridge are al
ready in place. and others are on the
track at the site.
The Salt Lake company's big baS-
cule bridge across the mouth of the
Long Beach harbor will be completed
before the expiration of the extended
time allowed for the work by the war
department. 1t will be ready before
the first of the year, and the ocean
entrance to Long Beach will be opened
by that time.
Work on the channel between Long
Beach and Wilmington harbors will
be completed within a month, and ade-
quate channel will take the place of
the old Cerritos slough. Dredging on
this channel is being carried forward
rapidly.
Long Beach is watching progress in
this line anxiously, believing that the
time when the harbor is opened to
commerce is as big an event as the
town will see for some time. Crowds
visited the drawbridge and other har-
hor scenes yesterday.

NOTES OF CURRENT EVENTS

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 4.-The
postal receipts for the month of Sep
tember footed up a total of $2349.19,
which is an increase of 11a per cent
over the same month last year, and SS
per cent over the same month two
years ago. The growth of postal re-
ceipts for the local office has shown
a steady growth almost without eX-
ception for the past three or four
years.
The wedding of Miss Lena Byrne and
William A. Manson was celebrated
Saturday at high noon at the home
of the mother of the bride, Mrs. Olive
A. Byrne, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. Father John Brady of
st. Bernard of Sienna Catholic church.
The bride is one of the social leaders
of the city, while the groom is a prom
inent business man. Both are we'll
known in Los Angeles.
Senator H. M. Willis of this city has
purchased a lot on Westmoreland ave-
nue. in Los Angeles and will soon com
mence the erection of a handsome resi-
dence there. After the next session of
the legislature he will make that city
his home.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-05

tract possibilities will entice upon the
market. California is remarkably well
able to handle the immigration ques-
tion upon novel and broad lines which
will make more thoroughly for its sat
isfactory treatment than has been the
case.
immigration experts are agreed that
the establishment of the steerage pas
senger as a good citizen is in large
part a question of environment. With
wholesome surroundings, clean and
congenial employment and a chance
for independence he will not become
the menace to the country that comes
through crowding him into tenements
or novels. 1t is possible to make a
desirable citizen of every immigrant
accepted, so the experts say but not
in the way we have been handling them
in the east. California can accomplish
this in way impossible on the At
lantic coast.
This will mean much or little to Los
Angeles, according to the preparedness
of the harbor. If the big ships coming
through the Panama canal find it easy
and desirable to call here this harbor
will have inducements in swinging
trade not elsewhere offered on the
coast. But if facilities are inadequate
the passenger and freight traffic will
both pass by, and if such a condition
should obtain until trade has got in
the habit of neglecting Los Angeles
the opportunity would be lost beyond
recall.

LONG BEACH BREVlTIEs

LONG BEACH, Oct. 4.-The capsiz-
ing of their sailboat threw Thomas
Carpenter and Robert Mack into the
deep water of the harbor this after
noon. One of the boys clung to the
yacht while the other swan across the
channel and secured a rowboat.
Mrs. j. A. Schilling, 43 years old
died last night at her home on Lo-
Gust avenue, near First street. A hus-
band and two daughters survive her.
Funeral services will be held at 2:3O
tomorrow afternoon from the Cleve-
land chapel.
j. Birmingham is closing deal for
the sale of his. hotel at Brawley and
will return to Long Beach, which, he
has written, is "the best city of its
size in the United States"
Every night last week except one
the city councilmen met to confer
about the municipal waterworks mat
ter. Owing to the involved nature OF
the problem it is probable that no de-
cisfve action will be taken at the reg
ular meeting to morrow morning.
To raise money to pay off what Is
yet due creditors of the Festival OF

CITIZENS COMMITTEE
WILL OPPOSE BONDS
ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO
FIGHT ANY PLAN
Is Against Work of Newly Organized
Committee, Although Latter's
Plans Are Still to Be
Formulated
rspeclal to The Herald.l ]

PASADENA. Oct. Although the
new committee formed to obtain an
other water bond election has not yet
held a meeting, the matter has been
stirred up nightly by the members of
the citizens committee, which defeated
the first issue. who announce that they
will oppose any scheme Offered at the
present time.
Edmund d. Barry, chairman of the
citizens committee, and George f.
Kernaghan, chairman of the sub-com-
mittee on publicity, held a conference
yesterday. and afterward stated that
they would fight new election just as
vigorously as the first, "or more So"
on the other hand, former Mayor
Martin II. Weight who personally
managed the first campaign against the
bonds. issued a signed statement on
the day after election, in which he
said:
"The purchase of the present plants
as a preliminary to the acquisition of
more water is earnestly desired by all.
The proposition yesterday was defeated
because it was not just to all con-
cerned, including the city"
In statement signed by the citizens
committee as a whole, dated September
%. the following statements are made:
Whereas those in favor of the pres
ent bond issue claim that the present
scheme is the only one possible, and
Whereas, before the question is def1-
nitely settled on September "a 1t would
be well to consider that all the wisdom
connected with this question does not
reside in those on either side to this
controversy, but that the greater por-
ton of that wisdom, born probably of
late experience, can be found in COM
bination of both sides.
Therefore, be it resolved That we,
the undersigned, agree now before said
bond election that we, in case the
water bonds are defeated, will do our
part in a general movement for muni-
cipal water that shall have for its OBJ
ject that which is best for the property
interests and the city of Pasadena,
with due regard for the present and
future welfare of her citizens, and pro-
vide for liberal treatment of the pres
ent water companies"
In view of these facts it is felt by
many that the citizens committee is
unduly hasty in its opposition to the
newly formed committee, which has
not yet even a name.
J. Edward Kent, member of the
citizens committee, mas announced
that he does not intend to abandon his
plan for municipal ownership of water,
which was tabled by the Fifth Ward
Improvement club last week, and that
he will prepare the necessary petitions
as soon as possible.
This plan provides that most of the
stockholders shall donate their water
stock to the city, for the public good.

WILL ASK STRIP OF LAND
WITH ARROYO SEco BRIDGE

PASADENA, Oct. 4.-After inspect
ing the bridge over the Arroyo Seco
on California street in company with
Street Superintendent Boyer, Mayor
Farley states that the San Rafael
Heights company, which has offered
to give the bridge to the city, will
probably be asked to donate a little
more land along with it.
The bridge seems to be in good re-
pair, except that it needs resurfacing,
the mayor says. The highway east of
the bridge is being damaged from time
to time by storm water, which may eX-
tend to the approach of the bridge. For
this reason he suggests that the COM
pany deed a strip of land to the city
in case the gift is accepted.
H. f. Huntington, who will be
asked to join with the city and county
in defraying the cost of a new bridge
at that site. has not yet been inter-
viewed by the mayor.

CALIFORNIA CAN SETTLE
PROBLEM OF IMMIGRATION
With Adequate Harbor Los Angeles
viii Gain Great Passenger Traf-
fic in Addition to Freight
Trade

A feature of great Importance to the
growth of Los Angeles is dependent
upon proper attention TO the harbor
question. This is the fact that Califor-
Mas resources are sufficient to solve
the country's immigration problem and
that the opportunity for doing this is
very likely to follow the completion OF
the Panama canal.
The country's immigration experts
have endeavored for years to scatter
the European immigrants over a wider
territory, but the natural opportuni-
ties for accomplishing this have been
limited. In spite of every effort prac-
tically 20 per cent of the immigration
has settled east of the Alleghenies, and
almost all of this majority has herded
in New York and two other Atlantic
cities. This budding in the large
cities has been in spite of the fact
that by far the largest portion of the
immigration flood has come from the
agricultural sections of the Old World.
Undoubtedly the greatest factor to
impel this condition has been the eli
mate, The Russians and Scandina-
Vians have not hesitated to settle on
the plains, where their environment
has made them good citizens. But the
largest number of immigrants has not
found the idea of venturing very far
away from the first landing place a
tempting one.
When the Panama canal opens it will
divert a vast passenger traffic as well
as the freight carriage This is fore
shadoWed. as shown in a dispatch in
The Herald several weeks ago, by the
preparations already made by the
Hamburg American Royal Mail and
other steamship lines in making Puer-
to. Mexico, on the Tehuantepec route,
n port of call, thus bringing twenty
six European ports in direct touch
with the Pacific coast. When the canal
is opened the companies will bring i'm
migration direct to California from
European countries. Every argument
heretofore advanced to the tourist will
be translated to the Vineyardist and
all the other citizens of Europe regard
ing the possibilities of the land of
gold.
May Cut Up Tracts
This movement will be enhanced by
the possibilities in the large holdings
i'm this state which have been held in
tact for years but which the combina-
tion of large immigration and small

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS
POPULAR WITH PUPILS
Smallest Children Make Enthusiastic
Depositors and Gladly Collect
Their Pennies to Receive
Pass Book

PASADENA, Oct. 4.-The schools of
South Pasadena have adopted school
savings banks, which are proving ex-
tremely popular with the pupils.
Each teacher has been supplied with
a book containing the names of all the
pupils in her grade, and every morn
ing, as their names are called, they
march forward and deposit their PEN
nies, nickels or dimes, receiving credit
therefor.
When the amount has reached dol
lar they are given a pass book.
It is found that even the youngest
children enter heartily into the plan,
and although the amounts deposited
are very small, for this very reason
the school has great advantage over
the commercial savings banks.
