made by the Puget Sound Navigation
company, operating the steampship
Chippewa, whereby contest parties will
be admitted to mills, canneries and
other places of interest.
Anacortes is rightly called the "Glou-
cester Of the Pacific" aud here it is no
unusual sight to see more than 100000
salmon in single cannery ready for
packing, later to be shipped all over the
world. Here the various canneries
have daily capacity Of 10000 IS pound
cases. This is the cycle year in the
salmon canning business. Every fourth
year the sockeye, the great commercial
food fish appear IN great numbers from
the depths Of the ocean and this is an
opportunity seldom offered tourists to
gain knowledge OF just how the salmon
are caught, cured aud packed for slip
ment.
The canning season LISTS from May to
November and every part OF the big
plants will be open for inspection. In
Anacortes are two Goldfish packing con
Germs where the fish from Alaska are
cured and packed. The by products of
the various canneries go to make glue,
and at Anacortes is an enormous ce-
ment plant.
The trip for the day concludes with
visit to Bellin4ham and a cruise through
the San Juan Islands, the pearls of
Puget Sound, a rival Of the Thousand
Islands of the St. Lawrence. Here an

sists entirely ofislands For more than
twelve years both American aud Brit
ish troops occupied San Juan island,
until the boundary question was settle d
and the sites of the old military camps
are places OF much historic interest
now marked by granite monuments
The total land and water area Of the
islands is about 500 miles
Thousands Of tourists take this voy-
age every year and combined as it has
neeu with the Tacoma aud Navy Yard
trips will enable the contest parties to
visit all parts of Puget Sound in a short
length OF time making the most attract
i've water excursion III tile world and
one forever to be remembered. This is
the first time that tile San juan islands
trip have been combined with the Port
Townsend, Bellingham aud Anacortes
trips and offers most delightful out

In the Post Office Exhibit of the
United States Government at the Alas

dozen or so cases devoted to tile Dead
Letter Office, and here are to be seen
the most curious objects in all the thou
sands upon thousands that have been

or, as in many cases, not directed at ali.
Here are several hundred revolvers,
derriugers, pump guns, duelling pistols
and all callibre small arms. Knives,

SHIPPING INTERESTS

Redondo owes its greatest claim to
prominence to its deep harbor and dock
facilities, allowing a very voluminous
shipping interest. The greatest vessel,
the Carleton, ever docked in a South
ern California port was recently at Re-
dondo, as it was impossible to dock it
at either San Pedro or San Diego; and
incidentally it's cargo of ties from
Japan required more than 200 cars to
unload it. The large amount of freight
tonnage, both imports and exports
handled through Redondo would be
considered big business for much
larger city. 1t requires a deputy col
lector of customs and a number of as
sistants to care for the United States
interests in Redondo's shipping, and
the railway facilities of Redondo make
it to the shippers interest to transact
his business through that port. Also
as port of call by the coastwise
steamers. the passenger traffic has as
sumed large proportions in the pas.
year or so and passage can be secured
to any of the north Pacific coast and
Lower California points.
To give the public general idea of
the total amount of business transacted
through Redondo's water facilities, the
United States government records for
the month of January, this year, in
the midst of what is usually the dull
season are available as follows:
Imports-3,476 900 feet lumber, 1900
900 shingles, $4,000 barrels oil, 1910 tons
general merchandise, 40 piling, 60 feet
each; 1904 net tonnage, 1919 total
crews, 932 passengers arrived, 81 steam
ers arrived, schooners arrived.
Exports-S2,0 900 barrels oil, 405 tons
general merchandise, 1895 let tons
freight. 1889 total crews, S52 passengers.
go steamers departed, 6 schooners de-
parted.
By using the above tabulated list for
comparison, or computing, if you
please, it is readily seen that a years
business at Redondo in the shipping
interests assumes stupendous proper
tions and will justify Redondo's claim
to recognition as a shipping center,
and one that Los Angeles merchants
cannot ignore even though they natur-
ally desire to aid San Pedro now that
it is a part of the larger corporation:
Still further Improvements are agitated
and contemplated at Redondo, but not
with the spirit of antagonizing other
interests, for with the awakening or
the possibilities of a great trans-Pa-
cific business there Is room for ALI COM
reting shipping enterprises.

August 20, when over 2600 people sought
comfort in the cooling water.
Several exhibitions of high and fancy
diving as well as water polo contests
have afforded amusement for the nu-
merous spectators who daily fill the
galleries. The latter feature especially
has attracted large crowds. who wished
to witness the home team inf1ict defeat
on all comers. for be ii known the Re-
condo Beach water polo team has
never yet gone down to defeat.
All in all, the bathing facilities at
Redondo Beach cannot be beaten, ana
the new bath house is certainly doing
its share in the good work of boosting
Redondo Beach.
los ANGELES -REDONDO RAILWAY
1t has been aptly said that "Redondo
Beach is a city of destiny because 1T
deserves success;" but ii must be rec
ognized that the greatest factor in It's
development is its great steel arteries
of commerce that reach out beyond its
corporate limits in several directions
its electric railway. Without these
great aids to bring commerce to its
shipping, and people to build and occu-
nv its residences and enjoy the beau
ties and pleasures of its wonderful
beach, II would be but little bottled
up seaport town.
The cityS fostering ana CROWN u0-
pend upon the benefits conferred upon
it by it's best friend, the Los Angeles
and Redondo railway. and the city
must consider that 1t has been treated
generously by this great corporation;
every facility for transportation mas
been provided. Every railway magnate
has a hobby, and it is fortunate FOR
Redondo Beach that Mr.. Huntington
has chosen that city for his best ef-
forts, not only for his railway serv-
ice, but in all else that pertains to the
city's material prosperity--its building
interests and manufactures. Blending
his full realization of not only the com
merciaI possibilities of Redondo Beach,
but also the beauty of the topograph-
ical situation of the townste, with MS
innate love of beauty on large scale,
Mr.. Huntington has undertaken the
stupendous task of making Clinton by
the-Sea the marine SMILEY Heights"
of the Pacific coast; and though the
writer is not in Mr.. Huntington's con =
fidence as to any of his plans, 1t Is
but a logical conclusion that 1t is his

yond Clifton, affording a sightseeing

and to make this much to be desired
undertaking a financial success 1t can
be further concluded that the line will
be extended into the back country,

sible, thus opening up a rich farming
section: and that the terminus of the
line will be San Pedro, thus making the
road a big competitor in the shipping
interests of Los Angeles. am salts
fed that two years at most will see
the consummation of just these same
projects as outlined.
Returning to Redondo Beach's actual
railway benefits. the city has no inn
mediate need that is overlooked; and
am satisfied that its citizens have no
cause or desire to complain. The pas
senger service furnished by the Los
Angeles and Redondo railway is
twenty-minute service on 100 cars out
of Redondo Beach daily, increased to
a more frequent service and $50 cars
on Sunday. averaging throughout the
week 100 people to a car. These cars
operate alternately via the Moneta and
Inglewood divisions. The same road
also runs three freight trains daily out
of Redondo Beach and special freight
to Los Angeles for perishable mer-
chandise as soon as it is unloaded from
the boats. M
REDONDO TAXEs
The tax book of Redondo Beach this
year calls for a total sum of $23.99S.00
to be collected for taxes, a sum that
would cause an ordinary ward poll
tician to blush with shame; but this
amount, together with the revenue de-
rived from licenses, which aggregate
approximately $16,000 Is adequate for
all purposes of government for the
present fiscal year.
For a city the size of Redondo Beach
the improvements made during the
past four years are in a way phenom-
email. The Huntington interests have
expended several hundred thousands OF
dollars, and the individual property
owner has contributed to the city's
growth to such an extent that the in
creased improvement each year has
provided for the increasing revenues
Of the city government, and yet these
improvements are only assessed at 20
per cent of their cost. an incentive to

SUPERIOR COURT.

The May term of the superior court for Windham county was convened Tuesday morning at 1915 o'clock, Hon. Joel H. Reed. judge. Prayer was of fered by the Rev. Louis M. Flocken Ul the Methodist church.
 The proceedings for the days ses- sion comprised the putting to plea of a dozen prisoners chareed with criminal offenses and the rollcall of the jurors drawn last Friday. The jurors were not supposed to be summoned In until Wednesday and consequently num- Der of the cases to be tried by jury were not ready, and in view of the fact that a misunderstanding was the cause of the appearance in court Of the members of the jury all cases were deferred until Wednesday.
 Prisoners Put to Plea.
 The first case called was that of state vs. Frank Gordon, larceny. 1n- formation in the same charged that on the 2Sth of February, 1909, in the town of Killingly, he took from the Will Evansville Manufacturing company 100 yards of cloth and varnish brushes valued at s14.

Frank Bugbee, who is conducting the prosecution for the state for this term, told the court that originally the accused was in formed against on three counts, charg- I.r 4I o1r f1sl sv, ties of less than a gallon, but that af- ter an investigation two of these were nolled and that while said accused was known to have had the reputation of selling cider on various occasions. in view of the fact that he was an old man and a well known resident he would recommend that a fine of $50 with costs. which would total upwards of S90, be imposed. The court, after due consideration of the facts, ordered the fine with costs as recommended.
 State vs. Thomas Delileux and Will liam St. Andry was then called. The charge was theft from the person and assault with intent to rob.

T am well pleased with my experi- ence with Hoods Sarsaparilla for my blood. My trouble was of a scrofulous nature-sores frequently came on my neck, increasing in number and size. Years of treatment failed to effect a permanent cure. The sores dis charged freely, and gave me much pain. The drain on my systsm had been so great I was completely worn out. easily became tired, and did not have much appetite. My neck was so sore and swollen, I could hardly turn my head around. but took Hoods faithfully and within two months the benefit began to come. The sores healed up. my general health i'm proved, appetite came back, and my flesh took on a good color.
