Cool winds blowing out of the

about the sky.

GERS were stopping people on the
San Diego highway leading into the
valley, warning them to return to
the coast as It was dangerous to
their lives to enter the valley, That
anyone would believe such a thing
is serious reflection on their men,

numerous San Diegans accepted
the yarn as truth.

HARbOR FACILITIES
HELD INADEQUATE
Report by Maj. Brown Cites
Needs and Progress
OF improvements.

Inadequate terminal facilities and the
poor condition of privately-operated
Wharves in Washington harbor are
scored in the annual report of Maj. Gen.
Lytle Brown, chief of engineers, which
details the progress and needs of Federal
engineering projects in the District of
Columbia. The report adds that $44 1857
was expended durin gthe past fiscal
year for the maintenance of navigation
in the Potomac River at this city and
furthermore recommends that 100000
can be expended profitably during the
fiscal year 1888 in redredging the Vir-
ginia channel, the operation of gates
at the Tidal Basin and lesser improve
ments.
Commerce Facilitated.
Commerce has been facilitated by the
improvement, Gen. Brown says, as deep
draft vessels can now enter the Wash
ington and Georgetown Harbors and
duced.
The report says that the project for
the improvement of the channel of the
AnacoStia River from its mouth to the
Anacostia Bridge is practically com
pleted. Gen. Brown says that the addi-
tional facilities thus afforded have de-
veloped traffic and relieved congestion
in other parts of the Washington Har-
Dor.
While no work was done in the Poto-
mac River at Alexandria, Va, during
the past year, Gen. Brown says that
