Down to Prevent
Its Loss

Special to The Herald.
REDLANDs, Aug s.--Dr. A. r.
Schultz and Otto e. Gaertner have re-
turned from a trip in the mountains
near Oak Glen and report they had a
narrow escape from death in cloud
burst they encountered on the trip
up the hills from Luken's ranch.
Several times they thought they were
going to be washed down the gulch by
the torrents which bore down upon
them, it being so deep at times as to
come into the bed of the buggy.
The only way hey saved themselves
and the rig was to get on a high spot
and anchor the rig down with heavy
rocks when they saw they were in real
danger.
The cloudburst was accompanied by
a heavy wind. which threatened to
overturn the rig. They lost all their
extra clothing and other articles in the
rig and suffered greatly from exposure.
They say the road was washed out
several feet deep in places, while in
others it is filed ten or twelve feet
deep with sand and rocks.

PASADENA TAX RATE TO BE
LOWEST COMING YEAR
sixty-five Cents on 500 Is Amount
Estimated to Be Necessary by
Mayor EarIey-Was Same
In 1867
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 9.-That the tax
rate next year, with perhaps one ex-
ception, will be the lowest in the his
tory of the city, is the opinion of Mayor
Farley.
Sixty-f1ve cents on each $100 is the
amount he estimates necessary, al
though the budget will not be passed
upon by the council until August Is.
In 1878 the tax rate was 40 cents.
In 1867 1t was IS cents and this figure
has never been reached since.
The low estimates turned in by all
of the city departments and the large
balance left over from last year, COM
bine at this time to put the treasury
in most gratifying condition.
The budget as estimated by heads of
departments amounts to $342,940. This
amount will be subject to some reduc-
lions by the council, but it is not
thought that it will be greatly reduced.
The increase of $2,O00,000 in assessed
valuation of property this year also
will help to lower the tax rate.
