SUMNER GOSSIP AT HOTELS.

There is scarcely a summer resort
be it in the country, mountains or
seashore-that isn't burdened and
bIighted by that most despicable of all
women-the gossip. And generally she
isn't alone She is certain to find sew
eraI of her kind wherever she goes for
the summer If she does not, she soon
makes gossips Of the women she selects
as the recipients of her catty remarks
about the other people in the hotel.
She negIects her own affairs so that
she may pry into those Of the other
guests, and she tells what she discovers
and what she does not discover-as
the gospel truth. Ever alert for any
thing that is none of her business she
watches the other people like hawk
and mfsconstrues what she sees into
fabrications of the most VillainOus sort.
She is a listener, an eavesdropper.
Fragments of conversation caught here
and there are twisted and turned and
distorted into CHASTITY tales that some
times wreck homes, destroy happiness
and besmirch a woman's honor. Moth

and she looks for the bad in everyone

You can see her on the Veranda of 4

those about her to pieces like a vulture
over its prey. She talks in whispers

I others approach-unless they be her
own kind Even then, she may change
the subject of conversation for the
chances are she has been talking about
them. She is friendly to everyone-and
true to no one. A hypocrite herself, she
looks for the same quality in others and
daughs at the sincere, innocent woman
who believes her friendship true.
There is but one subject upon which
she can converse-people. An abstract,
impersonal subject is of no interest to
her. But she can talk for hours about
those around her--and she is forever
and a day quoting them, with a most
wonderful disregard for the verify of
her statements. After she has told
each individual of her own kind what
she has gathered since the previous
evening, she tells what So-andSo told
her and a certain friend Of another So

discuss their clothes and the way they
dress their children. She writes to her

and delights in retailing it to her own
crew.

woman so much as intimates that she
can't understand why she hasn't heard
from her husband in the city IN the
past two days, the gossip Immediately
retails that delectable fact to her Gro
MES and embellishes it with the addl-
tionaI information that the husband has
either had a quarrel with his wife about
money matters or must be having
high old time in town while his wife is
away. She is always wondering why
such and-such a man ever married
SUCH and such woman and vice versa
In fact, she pokes her talon nose into
everything that doesn't concern her
and her scent for scandal is impec-

The young people at the hotel are un-

There is but one way of dealing with
the summer resort gossip and that is
to avoid her as one would the pesti-
lence Though this may anger her and
bring down upon you the darts of her
forked tongue, it will at least narrow
the possibilities of her lies and duplicity
by eliminating her chances to quote
you directly. Cut her outWardly and

The situation in the Mississippi val

freight in that valley to be moved both
doubtless will be again, extreme traffic
congestion there. Even during the Sc
verest congestion the Mississippi river
got avery small and decreasing
share of the traffic. This condition is
highly unsatisfactory.
There are two basic causes: First.
the physical conditions, variations in
water level and the enormous deposit
of sediment; second, the destructive
competition by the parallel railroads,
in general refusing to share the traffic
with the river. Part " of this re-
port, now in course of preparation, will
deal with this further 1t is sufficient
to say now that rail competition is a
most important factor in water traffic,
and that some cooperation between
railways and waterways seems abso-
lutely necessary to insure a reason
able use of our rivers. 1t is a public
evil that our entire transportation
system should be, as now, at odds with
itself, wasting it's strength in destruc-
tive internal warfare while the trans
portation needs of the public sueffr.
Part 1, already issued, considered the
physical conditions of the waterways.
Equally important are traffic cOndi-
tions-what traffic is available, and
how can it be secured
Traffic is an absolute essential for
the development of the waterways
system One of the most practical
methods of Improving waterways, and
especially terminals, is to secure for
them a fair amount of business, thus
insuring their higher development by
private interests. This is shown by

share of the freight 1t therefore can
not afford to provide transportation
facilities worthy of its great POSSIBLE
tiles Whatever may be the limita
tions of the waterways system, it is
clear that certain easily made i'm
provements in channels, port termi-
nails, and especially in the regulation
of the relations of railroads and wa
terways, can secure for the waterways
a far greater proportion of business
and lead to a great improvement in
their condition.

The water system of the city has been

containing 100000 gallons of water,
was built on the Heights, in addition
to other reservoirs containing 1,500,-

coal, lumber, railroad ties, sand, gravel,
oil, cotton sugar, rice and farm pro-
ducts But the cotton traffic is sur
prisingly small, considering the near
ness of cotton plantations and cotton
markets. The only prosperous excep-
ton of Importance is the coal traffic
downstream. This constitutes about
Sc per cent of the entire vessel traffic
on the Mississippi system. 1t is a
highly developed long-distance bulk
traffic, with the coal produced in enor-
NOUS quantities directly on the river
bank, near the Pittsburg district. It is.
however, practically confined to mar
kets Immediately along the banks
Otherwise the river traffic is in a
discouraging state. The great through
business of earlier times no longer
exists. The traffic history of ST. Louis
we'll illustrates this situation River
shipments there in 1890 were over
100000 tons; in 1906, $4,000 tons Rail
shipments, on the other hand in 1890
100000 tons
There are some small increases
Small gasoline boats doing a local
business have increased especially in
a feeder traffic on tributary streams
In 1906 there were $50 of such boats.
The old packet SYSTEM has largely
changed to barges moved by towboats.
there has been a slight increase in
traffic on the Tennessee river; and in
the last six years between Memphis
and Vicksburg. {
The regular floating equipment of
the Mississippi proper is not adapted
for deep-sea use. Thus, of the great
quantities of coal which travel 1000
miles by river to New Orleans, none
is sent beyond on river craft to points
on the Gulf, however near New Or
leans. There is a marked deteriora-
ton in terminals. The frequent ex-
IRENE changes in water level make
the terminal question a difficult one.
The upper Mississippi, so called,
from st. Paul to st. Louis, has about
AZ feet depth at low water, and there
is little through traffic-principally in
logs. Even more is this true of the
upper tributaries, including the Mis-

CoIIouuy Over Citrus Schedule Re-
veaIs Thirst of Lawmakers for

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Lemonade,
not of the pink" variety. but made
with plenty of lemons, mo. 16 Dutch
standard" sugar and much mineral wa
ter is to be the popular beverage at the
capitol among the distinguished mem
bers of the United States senate.
Following closely on the warm COLO
guy over the lemon schedule in the
senate yesterday 1t developed that the
statesmen in the upper house of con-
gress want fine lemonade to quench
their, thirst during the tariff debates,
and that the beverage will be on tap
in the regular quantities after this, as
the result of a good natured kick"
registered by Senator Gallinger at yes
terdays session.
Some senators curiously inquired If
this was an antagonistic step against
the water wagon, whereupon it was eX-
planned that the demand for lemonade
was prompted by the fact that the duty
on lemons will soon be increased 90 per
cent, and that if senator's are to enjoy
the drink at all now is the time to get
most satisfaction out of 1t at least
cost.

MRS. LULU PYLE LITTLE died
N last evening at her home, 2116
AZ Vermont avenue after an illness
of two weeks Mrs. Little was 81 years
old and had made her home in Los An
geles for many years.
She was one of the most active and
prominent clubwomen of Los Angeles
and was widely known on account of
her writings and active advocacy of
the cause of woman suffrage. For
many years she was president of the
Los Angeles County Equal Suffrage
league and was also identified with the
Friday Morning club. She labored dill
gently that she might promote the
cause of equal suffrage, a principle in
which she thoroughly believed. Al
though 1t was known that she had
been in poor health for some time, the
news of her death was shock to her
many friends and associate workers in
Los Angeles. Mrs. Little is survived
by her mother and one son, William E.

his home in Los Angeles. The son has
been with Mrs. Little since her illness
became serious two weeks ago.

against early summer football practice,
nor will he attempt to gather his forces
before college opens, saying the season
furnishes all they can stand.
While Pomona will not have figured

courts have been put in god condition
and many, including large contingent

on the painted courts.
