isolated place like St. Croix, it seems doubly
recommendable that we should have a
Shooting Club; it is in the interest OF the
Island; as they afford a stand by for the
protection of order and property when need
ed; and again there are in this place so
very little amusements afforded young
men, that this in itself useful and harmless
amusement should be afforded. 1t is
after all only a small amount asked for, and
when it be considered the benefits to the
Island, the Community and young men, who
would thereby be opened the way to acquire
the art of shooting, one which has its great
importance for the Militia and their training,
we must all agree that the money here
proposed in aid of the Club would be well
spent he would therefore recommend the
grant.

Cyclone was then advancing 10 a,out

and worst part Of the hurricane ? The wind
then shifted from north TO uort}. east, which
seems to imply that the cyclone was now re-

When we compare what happened here
IN Christiansted with the above theory
Of the Drumcairne's experience we find
that Thursday the 18th was a calm day,

northwest and finally to northeast we now
know to have been the work of that Same
great belt of high pressure which apparently
turned back the hurricane.
II then we attempt to state @ theory Of
the last of our three November cyclones it
will be something like this. The cyclone
was formed in the Caribbean about south
southwest of st. Croix, influencing the ba-
rometer here first on Wednesday the 10th
it moved off towards the northwest, gather
ing strength as it went, then turned to &he
northeast in the Mona Passage. Leaving
the Passage in a northeasterly direction, it
was squarely met by a bank of high pres
sure and turned back. 1t was on this
back passage on the 18th that ii sent cut
those mountainous seas that were running
at West End on Saturday the 18Th and that
beat on the wnarves of Dominica on Sunday
the l4th. AS to what became Of the cy-
clone afterwards we have no evidence.
Since the above was in print we have re-
ceived the cable news, now published, from
st. Thomas, which speaks Of a c%yclonic de-
preston south Of Jamaica and moving north
westward, which was probably the same hur~
ricane, but as no dates are given it is i'm
possible at present to be sure of this. Later
information may possibly make the case
palmer.

ing to be held at Kings Hill at bali past
four o'clock tomorrow afternoon for the pur-
pose of establishing a Society in St. Croix
having that object.
An invitation 10 attend the said meeting
was issued in the st. Croix Avis of the 9th
instant, in which it was stated that, cater
q general outline of the matter has been
placed before the meeting, and been discuss
ed by 1t, and after an opportunity has been
given to those who may wish it, to enter
themselves as Members of the Society, the
public nesting will be closed, and immedi-
ately afterwards a General Meeting Of the
Members who have entered will be held for
the purpose of constituting the Society, at
which a printed Draft of the Society's Laws
will be brought forward and be discussed,
after which, in accordance with the Laws
which may be ad0pte ], an election of q Com
mittee and Audito,s will take place"
The account of the experien oe of the g. s
Drumcairne, which we reprint this morning
from Lightbourn's Mail Notes and of which
MIR. Lightbourn has been SO kind as to send
us the original, is, as we remarked in Mon
days Bulletin, a valuable contribution to
our knowledge of the recent somewhat com
pick weather conditions.
1t will be noticed that the steamer had
left St. Lucia on her voyage to Savannah,
Georgia. The latitude and longitude given
convey a general idea that when she fell in
with the hurricane she was between three
and four degrees west of st. CroiX and
about one degree higher in latitude. If,
however, from the figures given, we mark
her position on o map we shall find that she
had just got through the Mona passage
between Porto Rico and Santo Domingo)
when the hurricane met her. Iu regard to
the fall of the barometer it must be noted
that the instrument used (evidently an ane-
roid) was fixed far too low, its normal being
80. so instead of 80. Con sequently the fall
to $3.50 should be read as a fall
on a standard instrument to 1920.
The lowest reading in these Danish
Islands during the passage of the cyclone
was 1910. It is evident then that the
steamer was much nearer the storm centre
than we we're she was moreover on the
other side. A reasonable guess would be
to put the centre about50 or % miles from the
ship and about $50 miles fromSt. OrOix at the
time she met the storm. How was the
centre then moving? 1t Is to be noted that
the storm divided itself, according to the
obser vations aboard, into two parts, the first

DEPOT DEMANDED

PUBLIC demand for a new depot
n in exchange for the vacation of
Ia Fifth street exists and Is con-
stantly gaining force. The street was
vacated on the promise that new
station would be built by the Southern
Pacific, and the public expects Mr.
Hartman to keep his word and refuses
to accept bubbles and apologies in
stead of the fulfillment Of his promise.
When a late council made its valuable
gift to Hartman the recipient of the
city's bounty promised to BUILD
depot. He did not say he would build
1t "some time, manana."
The Arcade station is not creditable
to Los Angeles. It produces a bad i'm
preston on the coming guest, and to
the departing visitor there is little in
It to suggest lovely Los Angeles. As
soon as he sets foot in the dismal Har-
riman depot he feels as if already he
had left Los Angeles far behind him.
The archaic Arcade is a chronic in
Justice to this city. When the tourist
drives all over town and sees nothing
that is not admirable and finally
reaches the awful Arcade he feels as
If the S. P. had libeled Los Angeles in
a foot note. Los Angeles should have
q new station which would be in har-
mony with the general tone of the city,
climatic, architectural. commercial and
social. This is high grade metropo
lis and should not be blotched by a
low grade depot.
Hartman says the building of the
new depot is a matter of financial re-
adjustment. The people of Los Angeles
heard nothing about financial readjust-
ment when Harriman's agents were
wheedling the councilmen into giving
away the Fifth street site. We agree
the original deal needed financial read
justment, and needed it badly; but
since that is now an old story and the
city must make the best of its bargain
Hartman must be held to his end of
1t and compelled to build that depot.

GOOD ROADS

THIRST dirt was turned yesterday
h morning on the Ell Monte road,
l. which will probably serve as a
model for all the roads to be built in
the future. In this road is exemplified
that union of the new and the old
that flavor of romance in its modernity
for which Los Angeles is distinguished
above all other cities. The road will
run from the easterly city limits of
Los Angeles to the westerly city limits
of Alhambra, and is a portion of the
FL Monte road of history, used half a
century ago when Ell Monte was
town and Los Angeles only a pueblo.
Far from taking away from Los An
gees and Southern California any of
the old-tine glamour, the good roads
will add to it, They will make history
live. Travellers and residents will have
easy access to every portion of Cali
fornia that is of especial interest-and
especial interest in California than in
any other state of the Union.
Good roads will also open up the
country in a commercial sense. The
auto-vehicle will play an important
part in the development of agricultural
mercantile and manufacturing inter-
ests. Citizens of Los Angeles are
already accustomed to see "auto-drays"
carrying loads which no ordinary team
of horses could even start, or could haul
If they were started. The auto-vehicle
will increase the prosperity of Los An
geles by increasing business facilities,
and making vending and distribution
of commodities much easier and less
expensive than under present condi-
lions.
But the development and more gem
eral use of the auto-vehicle produces an
imperative necessity for new roads;
good, mercantile highways, not mere
recreation or racing roads. The be-
ginning of good road building with the
turning of the first dirt on the Ell Monte
road is also the beginning of adequate
preparation for a period of industrial
and commercial opportunity which will
make Los Angeles and Southern Cali
fornia buster and more prosperous than
at any previous period of their busy,
prosperous career.
