Two Moves by North Coast.

The first move indicating any fur.
ther actively by the North Coast
railway was made last week at North
Yakima when all the tenants in the
buildings located on the North Coast
right Of way through the city were
given notice to vacate.
The second move is the putting OF
surveyors in the field in the Walla
Walla country. Engineer f S. Clark
is in charge Of the party and he IL
the same man that last fall directed
the survey OF a line from Walla Walla
up Mill Greek to the summit of the
Blue Mountains. Mr.. Clark is in
structed to find the most feasible
route through this territory.
The general superstition has been
that the North Coast will extend a
line to Salt Lake City, and probably
farther, and 1t now looks as If 1t
meant to tap the Seven Devils
country on the Snake river. where
some Of the richest copper deposits
in the world are found.

In driving in the vicinity of Tupelo
during the past week Captain Norbin
Jones observed several fields of alfalfa
in a Furnishing condition; in fact, it
was in fine condition, showing that al
falfa can be grown in this country as
well as anywhere. AS "diversification
of crops" is now the slogan with the
farmers, why would not be the proper
thing to grow alfalfa on an extensive
scale. 1t is a crop that can be handled
with little trouble, and climatic condi-
lions are such in this zone that it can
depended on every year.. Alfalfa will
produce from three to four tons to the
acre, and bringing, as it does, $22.O 90 to
the ton, it will thus bring more results
than cotton or corn, with a great deal
less trouble.

tifully decorated for the occasion with
cut flowers and ferns. Miss Harris
was seated on a white throne sur
rounded by her friends. Little Miss
Erin Mitts, daintily gowned, entered
the parlor wheeling a wheel. barrow
covered in white ribbons, which con-
tanned the gifts of white ribbon for
the brlde-elect. These she presented
to Miss Harris who graciously received
the gifts and thanked the donors. The
dining room was decorated in green

suspended from the ceiling to the cor

MAKES FINAL PLEA
FOR FREE HARBOR
MARTIN SAYS OUR FUTURE is
BOUND IN SAN PEDRO
Democrats Fighting for Direct Pri-
mary, Direct Senator, Anti-Re-
batting, Anti-Gambling, Econ
on1ies and Consolidation

The last Democratic meeting of the
campaign in the Sixth ward was held
last night at 1914 Santee street.
George C. Martin, the Democratic
and Independent party candidate for
the assembly from the Seventy-first
district, said:
Tonight closes our campaign as far
as speaking is concerned. The work
will not be complete unless it is kept
up until sundown of Tuesday, Novem-
Der 8.
II have called attention in my
speeches to P. A. Stanton's vote for
iniquitous bills and have pointed out
the narrow escape that we had from
having our streets turned into freight
yards and put under the control of
the state railroad commissioners
II have given Mr.. Stantons vote
against the bill, the purpose of which
was to compel railroad companies to
furnish accommodations on trains to
purchasers of tickets.
Il have called attention to what the
Republican press of the state has said
about Mr. Stanton
Reforms Wanted
4 wish to reiterate the important
reforms we have been fighting for:
"A direct primary law, drawn so as
to be effective. including advisory vote
for United States senator; a law maxi
ing effective the constitutional prohi-
biton against rebating and discrimina-
tion by railroads; a reciprocal demur-
rage law; an anti-race track gambling
law; the submission of a constitutional
amendment providing for direct legis-
lation and the recall; economical man
agement of state government election
of a United States senator who will
not be tool to the railroad the last
and most important, consolidation
between Los Angeles and a seaport
town Under the Los Angeles freehold
charter.
"Our whole future is bound up in this
harbor question. We must have a
free harbor if we hope ever to enjoy
the great benefits of cheap water rates.
if we expect ever to become the great
commercial and manufacturing center
to which our natural advantages and
our very favorable situation entitle

The county precincts are well organ
ized, but the campaign committee can
use more men and vehicles in the city.
The necessity for an unusually close
watch at the polls calls for a large
force and is taking the volunteers who
are reporting at the headquarters, ia
Coulter building.
1.-THE supervisors of Los Angeles
county have in many instances failed
to heed the recommendations of the
Democratic committee in the appoint
mef1t of election boards" says w. +.
Harris. chairman of the Democratic
campaign committee, in calling Tor
workers at the polls, land in many pre-
cincts they have either appointed
known Republicans or unknown Demo-
Gratis. This condition of affairs renders
it absolutely necessary that the pohs
be watched, and watched carefully, on
election day and at night While the
count is in progress.
No Corporation Funds
"The committee has no officeholders
TO assess and no corporation funds on
which to draw to do this work, and 1t
therefore appeals to all persons VINO
desire the election of Mr.. Bryan and
who are willing to help in bringing
about the result to come to headquar-
ters of the campaign committee at ia
Coulter building and tell what they can
and will do from now until the ballots
are counted and returns sealed up in
the vaults of the county clerk. These
rooms will be open all day and every
night until 10 o'clock and on Sunday.
Sample ballots will be kept on hand,
and the workers will be glad to answer
any questions relative to registration or
voting.
1T is absolutely necessary that every
man who has the welfare of his coun-
try at heart and who desires the cleo
tion of w. J. Bryan should volunteer
for any service he may be able to give.

WILL FLASH RETURNS
IN Y. M. C. A. LOBRIEs

Vice President A. b. Cass of the
Young Mems Christian association and
president of the Home Telephone COM
pany, is arranging for complete election
returns to be received Tuesday night
at the new Y. NJ. c. A. building on
South Hope street.
The large lobby of the building will
accommodate 1000 people, and the re-
turns will be thrown on a canvas from
a stereopticon lantern.
Not only will there be many MEM
bers present but a cordial invitation
is extended to the general public.
Indoor returns at a late hour will
attract by reason of the comforts of
the building.
The Young Mems Christian associa-
tions in many of the large cities have
each presidential election arranged
special wires to the building for the
returns, and Los Angeles is in line
with other large cities.

MAYOR HARPER ADDRESSES
POLYTECHNIC STUDENT BODY

Mayor A. C. Harper delivered a brief
address in the auditorium of the Poly
technic high school yesterday after
noon at o'clock before the student
body of that Institution, in which he
spoke of the advantage of the school,
not only to Los Angeles, but to South
ern California. Mr. Harper said he
was proud of the fact that he had been
graduated from the Polytechnic and
said that wherever he went he always
spoke good word for the school and
it's management. Mr.. Harper was fol-
lowed by an address delivered by Mil
ton Young.
In the fore part of the afternoon the
members of the school assembled in the
auditorium to hear John Beck and Rob-
ert Wheelan. two students, speak on
Democracy" and "Taftism," Beck
speaking for Bryan and Wheelan for
Taft.
A straw vote will be held at .he
school Monday morning, although the
result will not be made public until
after the real election.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-31

Especially is this true with regard 10
vehicles of all kinds.
"The organization committee has been
busy the last two weeks repairing any
holes apparent in the fences, and they
find conditions much better than have
ever confronted the Democratic party at
this stage of a national campaign. Every
precinct is being polled. Returns have
been coming in rapidly, and they show
an average favorable change in the
sentiment of from Is to 20 per cent.
Predict Heavy Vote
"The indications are that the vote
polled will be the heaviest ever re-
corded in the county. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that there has been a
great deal of talk about apathy we find
in our canvass that the people are
earnestly desirous of a change in con-
ditions, and in a quiet way they are
working seriously to bring 1t about.
The Democratic campaign for principle
is appealing to voters, and 1t is sur
prising how uniformly our polls show
an increase IN the feeling that Demo-
cratic success means the countrys sue
cess, but nationally and locally. The
only thing necessary to assure the abso-
lutte victory of our ticket is to get the
sentiment we find crystallized at the
ballot box on Tuesday, and the imple
ments necessary for doing this are, as
stated, vehicles and workers.
"The county precincts are well and
enthusiastically organized and fully
equipped, but the 1S9 precincts inside
the city limits of Los Angeles are scat
tered over a wide area, and here is the
point where we can use men and
vehicles to great advantage"
The campaign committee has done a
tremendous amount of work in the last
three weeks and has inspired workers
in sections where organization was re-
garded as difficult but was most
needed. Their efforts will be redoubled
in the next three days to have every
polling place we'll cared for
