BOND ISSUE WILL BE
AGITATED ACTIVELY
ADVOCATES AND OPPONENTS
BOTH Determined
Within a Little Over Two Weeks
Election on Raising Funds for
Municipal Lighting Will
Be Held
Especial to The Herald.

PASADENA, Jan. 23.-An active
campaign, both by those in favor of
the $15O,000 bond issue for the extern
sion and completion of the municipal
lighting plant and by the opponents of
the bond issue, will begin next week.
The special election to decide the fate
of the bonds is set for February II, so
that there are practically two weeks
left for the task of educating the
public.
There is strong popular sentiment
in favor of the issue and it is pre-
dieted that the popular vote will au-
thoriZe the bonds, but the men behind
the movement are not going to take
this for granted and will work as hard
for the success of the project as
though they anticipated defeat.
There are rumors to the effect that
stockholders of the Edison company
are planning an organized opposition

SAN PEDRO BUSINESS
MEN ENTER PROTEST
DO NOT WANT MONEY FOR
DREDGING DIVERTED
Chamber of Commerce Sends Notice
of DisapprovaI Of Attempt to Use
Public Money for Private
Company

SAN PEDRO, Jan. 23.-As the reports
fort is being made by the Consolidated
Lumber company of Wilmington to
have the legislature request congress
to divert the $S5,O00 of unused appro-
priation for the dredging of the turning
basin to the dredging of a channel
nOrtherly from the turning basin to the
northeasterly limits of the harbor
lines, the chamber Of commerce held a
meeting this morning and authorized
the sending Of the following telegram
to Assemblyman Walter r. Leeds and
Senator Savage:
"A Los Angeles paper states senate
resolution yesterday diverts $85, 900 from
turning basin to dredging channel for
Consolidated Lumber company at Viii
mington. This chamber emphaticalIy
protests against diversion Of said mon
ey for any purpose but that of dredg-
ing bar of inner harbor
Nv. F. BICKENBACH, Secretary"
1t is remembered that the Consolidat-
ed Lumber company prepared a petit
ton to congress for a special appropria-
tlon to do this dredging, and this petit
ton was indorsed by the commercial
bodies of both Wilmington and San
Pedro.
w HSu Tie pSlIIIOH was presented TO
the local chamber Mr. Condee stated
his company had no objections to the
dredger being moved out to the en-
trance channel bar, as the turning ba-
sin was complete on the easterly side,
and the money for the new channel
would be a separate appropriation
which they would try to get through
at this session of congress, in spite of
the fact that it was admitted there
would be no rivers and harbors bill this
year.
AS the chamber of commerce looks
upon the harbor development in it's
broadest sense, no objection was raised
to the Endorsement of the petition, as
the executive board expressed the SEN
timent that the more money spent in
the development of the harbor in any
part the better for all interests. But
il the Consolidated Lumber company is
working to divert the turning basin
appropriation for its own ends, it is
recognized as quite another question
The chamber of commerce and the
city trustees have united in asking the
government to divert this $85 900 to
deepening the entrance channel through
Angels Gate to thirty feet, and this
diversion has been approved by Capt
Fries, who says that the greatest good
at this time will result if the channel
entrance is deepened.
The papers this morning state that
Savage, the ''wach dog Of San Pedro,
voted yesterday for the resolution. It
has been remarked here today that
"this probably is correct, as the senator
has peculiar views on the question of
what will benefit his home town."

LONG BEACH, Jan. 23.-The report
made by committee of stockholders
Of the National Gold Dredging COM
pany, recently appointed to investi-
gate the status of the concern, shows
it is seriously involved.
A meeting has been called for Tues
day, February 9, when plans for a
trust deed amounting to $40, 900 will be
discussed. The stockholders may vote
to give up all interest in the concern
in order to save it, it is said. The
company's dredger was carried down
the river recently, and may be COM
plete loss.
DR.. w. r. Price, the psychological
leader, is president of the company,
which was organized two or three years
ago with a capitalization Of $500 900.
He believes it can negotiate for the
sale of claims it owns and thereby ac-
quire quite little cash.

Robert rockingham has prepared
some real New Years ''new Leaf reso-
lutions intended for the auto trade,
which, if seriously adopted, will iron
out many problems for the coming
twelvemonth. They are:
OF my own free will and accord, I
hereby sincerely covenant with my
self:
To ruthlessly expose at every oppor-
tun1ty that mfsbegotten, enervating
doctrine of mediocrity that "All is for
the best"
To exhalt the gospel Of Work, and get
action here and now.
To keep head, heart and hand so busy
that l won't have time to think about
my troubles.
Because-idleness is a disgrace, low
aim is criminal and work minus its
spiritual quality becomes drudgery.
Because-the truly great thing upon
this old earth of ours is Action. and
''the only man who never makes a mis-
take is the man who never does any
thing
Because-only that man is fit to sur
vive who has acquired a knowledge of
the way things work out and a fraternal
Willingness to help toward the final re-
suit.

RAINSTORM SUCCEEDED IN
MOUNTAINS BY HEAVY SNOW

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 23.-The
storm which has been lowering over
the valley the past two days has de-
veloped into a heavy fall of snow in
the mountains. Along the crest in the
vicinity Of Skyland, Squirrel Inn, Fred
alba and other points fully foot fell.
There are indications of still more
snow and it will be welcome. This is
the first heavy fall of the winter, al
though the rain record in the valley
is over ten inches, and it will do much
good in the way Of water conservation.

That May Deform Him
Permanently

LONG BEACH, Jan. 23.-In a friend
ly boxing bout today between Samuel
Hemphill and Harvey Luttrell, two en-
ployes at the Pacific Electric car barn,
Hemphill was severely injured. He
slipped and fell forward just as Lut-
trell was swinging a blow, and it had
unexpectedly disastrous results.
"Hemphill looked like he had been
kicked by a horse" said one of the
physicians who assisted in operating
upon him this morning. His upper
maxillary was fractured and a frag-
ment of it pushed upward into the eye
socket. The cheek bone was driven
back into the head"
The injured man may be permanently
deformed, although, said the physician,
he will be able to eat and talk.

SANTA ANA, Jan. 23.-Flood in the
Santa Ana river receded today and
although the water yesterday and last
night covered much cultivated ground
and drenched many acres of celery it
is not believed much real damage has
been done, as the flood did not cut
trenches as it sometimes has done in
the district affected. Today a large
force was employed in strengthening
the levees and repairing breaks made
yesterday and unless more heavy rains
come the danger point is passed.
Petition was filed today with the
county clerk for presentation to the
supervisors praying for the formation
of a new school district to be known
as Harper. out of portions of Newport
Beach, Fairview and San Joaquin
school districts.
Despite the rain and muddy roads
the Tustin Packing company this week
shipped seven carloads of oranges and

PLAYA DEL REY PIER AGAIN
GREATLY DAMAGED BY STORM

PLAYA DEL REY, Jan. 23.-The un-
usually high tide, combined with a
heavy ground swell, carried away about
200 feet of the pier at this place at IL
o'clock today.
No one was on the structure at the
time, the caretakers having warned
everybody away early in the day. A
section in the center and several bents
at the outer end were the portions de-
stroyed.
With the heavy sea that is running it
is feared the remainder will go out at
high tide this evening. It is understood
the pier will be rebuilt

HEALTH CAMP QUARREL

PASADENA, Jan. 23.-After quarrel
ing for months over the proposed es-
tablishment of health camp in Linda
Vista, the people of that suburb and
the authorities of the health camp at
last have made peace and the site for
the camp will be sold. 1t was placed
on the market today with a tag ap-
pended which announces that the fif-
teen acres are for sale at the price of
$3.50 an acre.
1t is believed the valuation set on the
property will bring a purchaser, but,
should no one appear, the residents of
Linda Vista undoubtedly will club to-
gether and raise the necessary money,
a little more than $4,000, among them
selves.

Very Different From the kine In Ex-

So privileged is the king of England
i'll his exemption from any and every
law that one would naturally expect
his children might do pretty much us
they like. But Englishmen have al
ways been very jealous of royal per-
sonages, and the fact is that princes
enjoy very few privileges indeed. \
prince of the royal blood may be fined,
like any ordinary mortal, If his motor
car exceeds the legal limit of speed.
The Prince of Wales cannot be sued
personally for debt. If the debt is not
paid the creditor may take out sum
mons, but he must summon the treas
urer, not the prince. If the case goes
against the treasurer the money is paid
out of the princes assets.
No child of the king who is under
twenty-five can marry without the
kings consent. Surprising, however, a
prince over twenty-five desired to marry
and the king refused his consent, then
the prince could give notice of his in
tention to the privy council. After that
lie would have to restrain his patience
for whole year. If during that time
either the house of lords or the house
of commons disapproved of the mar
riage 1t could not take place. But If
both houses of parliament were salts
fled the prince could marry the woman
Of his choice.

cate his own children, for 1t was long
ago laid down that the king has the
care and education Of his grandchil-
