DESIRES MONEY USED
TO DREDGE CHANNEL
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS
PASSED RESOLUTIONS
Fries Believes More Benefit VIII Ac-
crue Than by Continuation Of
Work on the Turning
Basin
Especial to The H ,raId. ]


SAN PEDRO, Jan. 2.-In order that
the entrance channel through Angels
Gate" may admit deep draft vessels.
the San Pedro chamber of commerce
today passed resolutions which will be
forwarded to Senator Flint and Con-
gresham McLachlan at Washington,
urging that joint resolution be passed
by congress diverting the unused ap-
preparation Of approximately $4,000
from the work on the turning basin to
feet at low tide.
capt. Amos A. Fries has expressed his
belief that more immediate benefit will
be done the harbor by deepening the
channel to thirty feet than by continu-
ing the work on the turning basin,
which has now been dredged to a
width of nearly 1900 feet.
AS the probability is that no river
and harbor bill will be passed this
year it necessarily will be a year and
a half before next years session makes
an appropriation for deepening the
channel to thirty feet throughout, as
was recommended by Capt. Fries.
With the channel deepened to thirty
feet as far as the Southern Pacific slip,
which already has this. depth, the big
liners on this coast could dock with
ease and the efficiency of this harbor
be greatly increased.
The chamber of commerce has had
this matter under consideration for
some time and has taken up the sub
jest with Capt. Fries. It is on his
suggestion that the resolutions are be-
ing sent to our representatives at
Washington.

Don't Blame
Your Stomach
When Without Exertien or Cost You
Can Enjoy Meals and Cure
DYSDepsia
Dyspepsia

Don't blame your stomach or your
luck when your meals declare war on
your system.
When the stomach won't do it's work
1t is because it cannot.
When foul smelling odors come from
your stomach, when the head aches and
the sourness of mouth every morning
MAKES you hate your breakfast, when
dreams and nightmare assail Won. don't
give up the fight.
Thls is the appeal of nature, and it
should be heard.
OVereat1ng, late suppers, poorly
cheWed food, too rich pastries and I'M
derdone cooking are some of the causes
OF the stomach's ill health.
When the stomach is busy, it presses
and churns all the liquid matter from
food and with its juices dissolves into
liquid form or pulp everything which
comes into it.
If such food be poisonous it affects
the juices, attacks the stomach goes
into the blood and Weakens the entire
system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
full meal easily without material as
slstance from the stomach They will
restock the gastric fluid with all the
elements needed. They build up the
blood, destroy sour taste, bad breath,
and quickly restore natural conditions.
One grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's will digest 5000 grains of food in
the stomach or in a glass vial without
aid of the human digestive apparatus.
The methods of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets are the methods of Nature
They contain every requisite for the
stomach and digestion, After a meal
one of these little tablets when it en-
tiers the stomach mingles with the
juices, attacks the food and digests it.
1t removes the fermented and decayed
mass lying stagnant there and eases
the stomach at once.
It is wholly a question for you to
solve. Your druggist will furnish Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets SOC the box, or
send US your name and address and we
will send you a trial package free.

BUILDING PERMITS FOR
1908 INVOLVE 100000
RedIands Has More Homes Erected in
Past Year Than in 1907, but
Total Cost Is 100000
Less

REDLANDS, Jan. Building per-
mits at Redlands during the year 1908
involved approximately half million
dollars. The permits granted by the
city building inspector involved $244,-
596, and it is estimated they generally
show about one-half the actual build
ing operations. One feature about the
building permits for the year is the
repair, remodeling and addition work
that was done, this being the case in
both the residence and business struc-
lures of the town.
The permits for November numbered
the most, the sum involved being $780,
$40. September was about $4,000 behind.
All the fall months were exceptionally
good, and builders and contractors say
the early months of the new year will
no doubt maintain the present status
but exceed the closing months of the
year.
In comparing the year Of 1907 the
present figures were exceeded by al
most 100000 the Colonel Greene resi-
dence costing $150,O00. This year there
have been more but not so large
homes, together with many cottages,
costing from $4,000 to $4,000.

EMPLOYEES AND
RAILWAY AGREE
OLD DISPUTE SETTLED BY
"KATY" COMPANY
BOARD OF MEDIATION EFFECTS
FINAL COMPROMISE
Troubles Involving Twelve Points and
Existing Labor Contracts Dis
posed of by Concession
as to Overtime

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Announce-
ment was made today by the board of
mediation under the Erdman act of
the signing in this city of a compro-
mise agreement between the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railroad company
and its employees.
Engineers, firemen, trainmen and
conductors were involved in the dis
pute, which embraced twelve points.
Ten of these had to do with the con-
struction and application of existing
contracts with employees and two were
demands for better terms and condt-
lions in certain particulars.
The case has been before the board
of mediation for some time.
In 1907 a serious contention arose be-
tween all the railroads west Of Chi
cago, including the Illinois Central, and
their employees, which finally was set
tied under the mediation Of Commits
sioners Knapp and Neil in April of 1908
This settlement included certain agreed
conditions in the rates Of pay.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas was
not party to that settlement, though
its practices have conformed thereto in
a general way. The present cOntro-
VerSy really grew out of a demand fol
the full application of the Chicago
agreements to the NJ, K. & 7. system
The most important point at issue
| concerned the computation of over
time under existing contracts as af-
fected by the hours of service law.
The Chicago tieup agreement, so.
| called, provides that where a crew is
tied up for twenty-four hours it shall
be deemed tied up in compliance with
| the law, and no overtime is allowed
but If tied up before fourteen horus
expires, then time is allowed for the
full time the crews are tied up
The settlement on this point carries
an agreement on the part of the com.
pany to put in force the Chicago tie.
up rule on March 1, 1909, and a basi:
of settlement until that time for tie
but II tied up before fourteen hour:
| of service law became effective
The settlement further carries the
withdrawal Of certain demands on the
part Of the employees and a modification
of the general principles of the Chicago
agreement to peculiar conditions on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, such a:
short line branches and the like.

PARK RECEIPTS WILL
TAKE DAYS TO COUNT
SALES DEPARTMENT DELUGED
WITH SMALL CHANGE
Manager Frost Temporarily Swamped
with the Work That Has Been
His Special Task for
Years Past
Especial to The Herald. !

PASADENA, Jan. $50 much small
change was taken in at the gates at
Tournament park yesterday that it is
probable the exact sum received will
not be known until Monday. George
Frost, manager of the ticket sales de-
partment, was busy most of today
counting the money and verifying
statements made to him by the several
ticket sellers.
This department of the tournament
always has been conducted by Mr..
Frost, and the exactness with which
the work is carried on is well shown
by the fact that last year, with every
seat in the park sold, and all the stand
ing room taken, Frost came within
$2.75 of balancing his accounts. Then
he insisted on making up the differ
ence out of his own pocket, so as to
come out square"

Especial to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Jan. "A new petit
ton is being circulated now and will
be presented to the city council in the
near future asking for a special election
on charter amendment allowing ho-
tells of more than 200 rooms the priv
1lege of serving wines with meals. This
would limit the privilege to the Hotel
Virginia, as this is the only hotel with
the required number of rooms, or any
where near that number.
The council recently refused to call
an election on a table license for all
hotels and restaurants, but as the di-
rectors of the Hotel Virginia have de-
clared they would not reopen the hotel
unless accorded the desired privilege
and as the city is losing considerably
by the closing of the hotel, it is hoped
the council will grant this petition.
1t is not believed the proprietors of
smaller places will oppose the new
move, as the proposed concession is
the only one which it may be possible
to secure.

MAY RUN ELECTRIC LINE
TO LONG BEACH HARBOR
General Manager Mcmillan Believes
His Company Will Cooperate
with City in the Runninu

LONG BEACH, Jan. General Man
ager Mcmillan of the Pacific Electric
yesterday expressed the opinion that
his road would be willing to build it's
lines to the Long Beach harbor on both
sides and cooperate with this city I'm
the running of ferry across the
harbor.
Some such scheme must be agreed
upon by this city, as the harbor will
cut off the people of West Long Beach
from any roadway into town. The
ferry project, with the Pacific Electric
cooperating, is looked on as the best
plan all round. The electric road has q
franchise for a line to West Long
Beach, but has never built even as
far west as the harbor, and there is no
electric road trackage west of the
harbor. The Pacific Electric company
failed to make satisfactory arrange
ments whereby the new Salt Lake
drawbridge across the harbor could he
used for both lines.

Petitions are being circulated both in

district, which is getting a reputation

A similar attempt to secure the ex-
tension of the fare limit in this direc-
ton was made about year ago. At
that time it was returned by the Pa
cific Electric people with the remark
that they could not grant the request
as it would establish a bad precedent.

HUMANE OFFICER DISCOVERS
HORSE FEELS NO GRATITUDE

PASADENA, Jan. 2.-Arthur Trident,
formerly a detective in the employ of

special officer of the humane society of
this city, will be confined to a bed for
three weeks to come because he tried
to be kind to a sick horse yesterday.
The animal, being of an evil disposition,
retaliated by dropping a door on Officer
Trident's right foot and smashing the
bones of his big toe.|
The horse had been led into the So
ciety's ambulance and the door closed.
Mr.. Trident hooked on behind just as
the animal, displeased at the situation
in which it found itself, launched a kick
at the door. The kick landed, as luck
would have it, and as the door is built
holds the door shut. It fell, with Tri-
dent under it, and as the door is built
to serve as an incline up which a
horse can walk it hurt.
