Change Generally Regarded as Being

Special to The Herald.


SANTA BARBARA, June Sin flu
ture Santa Barbara is to be the official
home of the Los Angeles Railway COM
pany. Notice of such change was filed
at the hall of records of this county
February 27, showing that the secre-
tary of state had granted permission
for a change of the home office of that
company to this city.
There Is little significance connected
with the move, as it is believed to be
only an attempt on the part of the
street car company to evade the corpc-
ration tax imposed by the City of the
Angels.
A few weeks ago H. E. Huntington OF
the Los Angeles street car companies
and w. F. Herrin, representing the
Hartman interests, met in this city for
conference, but little or no information
as to the result was obtained.
The Pacific Improvement company,
which owns 1000 acres of the Hope
ranch, five miles west of this city, is
preparing to place that tract on the
market this fall for a colony of the
ultra fashionable set, and the Southern
Pacific company, of which the Pacific
Improvement company is a subsidiary
branch, has completed the double track
ing of its line throughout the city linl-
its. There is a belief that there is
probability of an interurban from this
city to the Hope ranch. and Hartman
is interested in the Malibu road that is
building along the coast from Los An
geles. AS Huntington is largely inter-
ested in the properties OF the Pacifi:
Improvement company, 1t is believed
by some that the allied interests of Har-
riman and Huntington may have their
consummation in the construction of
the interurban line from this city.

OCEAN PARK, June S.-The swift

late Sunday evening by c. F. Currin
and Charles Hassinger, connected with
De Wore & Pettis, who went seven
miles down the shore to point be-
tween Pecks landing and Hyperion and
made casts into the surf directly from
the sand. In fifteen minutes less than
four hours they landed thirty yellow
fin, the aggregate weight of which was

their catch photographed today and the
pictures will be preserved In the fam
lily archives for the edification of Cur
rims and Hassingers yet unborn.
Fishing from the pier at the foot of
Marine street, here in town, has been
unusually good today. Jack Thompson
caught eight pounds of pompano in a
very short time. Herring of large size
were so numerous that they were
caught in a basket net by the peck
right from the pier. After the local
demand was satisfied number of large
cases of the fish were sent to Los An
geles friends by Frank S. Volk. who
caught them. The offshore fishing was
very fine. Halibut and Lynn cod came
in large numbers, along with good
sized bass.
