Unless you want to hear nothing but
deeds of prowess in fishing and huntingi of
conouests on the golf links and the tennis
courts; of dancing, bathing and of dozen
other diversions of ocean. seashore and
mountains you would better keep away
from the Sierra Madre cubrooms until next
week, when the members and their wives
return from a three days outing at Catalina
island.
Including wives and children. there will
be about 200 leave on the steamer Cabrillo
next Saturday morning, the party leaving
the Pacific Electric station at o'clock.
Others who Will not be able to leave on
the morning boat will leave later in the
day, while even others Will not go until
sunday arrangements having been made so
that tickets good on any of the regular
boats.
An important change in the program
which means greater comfort for the party
provides for the substitution of dinner at
the Metropole hotel in place of the proposed
barbecue, Immediately on arrival at Avalon
Saturday noon. 1t was thought that the
mere mention of barbecue might suggest
a wrong purpose of the outing and show
a desire on the part of the entertainment
committee at whose head is G. \. Maryland,
to corral the pleasure and rest hunters
and control their time. As a matter OF
fact. outside the ball on saturday evening,
no effort will be made to work out a hXed

BY JAMES WYNKOOP

Beg pardon, Mr.. Curl, but you are either
msinformed or the Records young woman
reporter has misquoted you. The fight here
is not with Los Angeles nor with southern
California, but with the Southern Pacific rail-
road. which, in the restraint of trade, has
made the shipping of Southern California iron
prohibitive. Los Angeles does not have to go
to Mexico nor to Alaska for iron. She has
an unlimited supply right at her doors. but
awaiting the time when the people OF TINS
commonwealth shall get from under the rail-
road sledge hammer to mine their iron anu
market ii with profit.
There are 400, 900 900 tons of high grade iron
in sight in the several deposits, all Wlthih
300 miles of Los Angeles, all within the
bounds Of Southern California These great
iron mines are located IN Riverside, San Ber-
nardino, Kern and San Diego counties, and on
the line between California and Nevada, near
the Salt Lake and Santa Fe railroads.
This iron compares to the best mined any
where, according to reports made by both pri-
vate, government and railroad engineers, and
can be mined at the least cost possible.
But these mines are now at a standstill
have been for centuries. All structural steel
for building purposes is shipped here from
the east at an excessive tariff because the
Southern Pacific will not permit these local
iron mines to be worked.
WOULD DEPRIVE RAILROAD
To work them would mean that the long
haul from the east would stop and hence a
loss of many millions OF dollars year In
freight revenue. The Southern Pacific already
owns several Of these deposits, has option
to buy. and, as The Herald in this depart
ment said about a month ago, is trying to buy
up all the iron deposits in the state else
where in the southwest which might in any
way interfere with the traffic of steel from
the east
In the east there is rate of one-half cent
a ton a mile iron to the steel plants If
this rate were in force in California iron
could be delivered from any of the mines to
Los Angeles at S. a ton. This would make
1t possible to open these mines and manufac-
ture steel at a profit.
But Can you blame the Southern Pa
cific? It's a long way across the desert the
mountains and the plains between here and
the eastern steel plants. and so long as the
people are content to pay for eastern steel
at three times the cost of local steel the
railroad would be a dunce 70 cnmnlain II

RATE SIS A TON

The rate on structural steel from the east
ern plants to Los Angeles is about S15 ton
and you know how heavy steel is; IT takes a
good many tons to make any kind of a
showing.
To return to the Seattle contract with China.
The agreement is for the delivery OF 100000
tons of iron ore and 100000 tons OF pig iron
annually, for a period of fifteen years, the
iron to come from China right through the
port of Los Angeles on its way to Seattle
This contract will amount to about S3l, 600
to Seattle, and this is all lost TO Los Angeles,
which has enough iron at her doors to supply
the coast for generations to come.
Los Angeles could furnish all this iron at
less cost than China. at less cost than the
east and at less cost than any other place
within a radius OF 1000 miles, if railroad rates
were reasonable.
Structural steel in Los Angeles is worth to-
day from S45 to S75 a ton, according to the
pattern laid down at the depot. If the iron
mines of Southern California could be profit
ably worked this same material could be sold
here for from $50 to $50 a ton by only remoy-
ing the freight rate, and by modern methods
of manufacturing steel by electricity it is vari-
ously estimated that steel could be made here
at from SIS to $50 a ton, according to the
pattern.
The one thing that stands in the way of
progress along this line is the Southern Pa
cific railroad. Los Angeles could be the
greatest manufacturer of steel in the west.
It's mines are less than 800 miles away. 1t
has unlimited natural resources. 1t also has
the Southern Pacific railroad.

It was only a few days ago that the press

ported to have contracted for over $50, 600 600
worth of iron and iron ore with mining con-
cern at Hankow, China, located 600 miles in tie

grew out of the fact that the railroads make
rates so high on the raw product and steel
that concerns at Seattle cannot compete. As
a last resort apparently this Seattle COM
pany sought its raw product in the interior
of China, thousands of miles away. And yet
such iron can be delivered here at less cost
than can eastern iron or any other iron mined

EXPECTS TO DIE
 FOR THE MURDER Condemned Man Taken To Penitentiary For Safe
 Keeping. NO SIGNS OF REGRET
Has Nothing to Say Regarding the Ac. tion of the Jury in Acquit-
 ting Mrs. DeLoney.

Little Rock, Ark, July 23.-Oscar Pullem, sentenced to die on Septem- Der for the murder of L. W. Delon- ey, prominent planter of Little River county, on the night of June 13, was brought to the penitentiary this morning by Sheriff H. G. Sanderson of Ashdown, where he will be kept until September 1, when he twill be removed to Ashdown, where he will be handed the following day.
 Pullem this morning gave no ap pearance of regret for his terrible act and refused to discuss his charges against the widow of the murdered man. He declared that he had told his story on the witness stand at Ash down and that he had nothing to add to it or to take from it.
 He was asked if he had told other prisoners in the Little River county jail that he had added to his story considerable statements which were not covered by the facts in the case, as was reported, to which he replied that he had never said any part of his story was untrue, but that it is now too late to repeat these state ments The jury had refused to be- lieve his side of the matter and had turned Mrs. Deloney loose, and there fore he had nothing more to say.
 He was asked what his ideas were when he surrendered to the sheriff of Little. River county after having con- fessed to his sister that he had killed MT. Deloney to which he replied that he had killed the planter and that he stood ready to pay the penalty He says he expected to die for the mur- der of Deloney.
 To Ask Communication.
 Friends of young Pullem, headed by his father, are preparing to petition Goversor Donaghey for a commuta- tion of the death penalty to that of life Imprisonment. Just when this will be presented to the governor is not known. but it will be during the coming week.
 Pullem is said to be twenty -four years of age, but does not appear tc | be that old. He has an open, frank 1 boyish face, and speaks with appar- ent candor. Taken from the Union Station this morning in company with four other prisoners, all senten- ced to short terms, Pullem walked with head erect and without that hang-dog mein which is supposed te accompany the murderer. He has given the officers no trouble, and, ir fact, apparently seeks to render theil duty as pleasant as possible.

It is rumored that the Cotton Belt will begin using the Rock Island track into Memphis on August 1st from Brinkley, which will shorten the dis tance about one hour, but the report could not be verified last night, as the agent here has had no notice of the change. It is believed, though that such change is contemplated, and in the event it is made passengers will reach Memphis in about five hours instead of six as at present.
