A THRIVING COAST TOWN Huntington Beach Most Preten-tious and Beautiful of Near-bu Shore Communities—Electric Railway Soon to Be Built A visit to Huntington Beach gives ample demonstration of the fact that the town is enjoying a flood-tide of prosperity. Great strides have been made in developing and beautifying this coast resort in the past two years, but what the average resident looked for in the near future will come as a surprise to those who do not keep abreast of the times as coast resorts go. With the electric road built through this valley to Riverside, the town expects to become the largest coast city in Southern California. The chief event of interest at present is the encampment of the G. A. R. Several hundred tents are pitched in a square surrounding the Methodist tabernacle, and the attendance of old soldiers is upward of 1000. The finely oiled streets, cement sidewalks, lawns and gardens of this sea-side resort are particularly pleasing to the eye. In front of the town a macadamized roadway 100 feet wide runs for a distance of three miles along the ocean front. It is the finest drive of its kind in Southern California. Corner lots on this boulevard bring $3500. Corners removed from the ocean front are held at $750, while inside lots on these thoroughfares bring $500. For a beach town of only two years growth Huntington Beach has no parallel in the state. The town is one of considerable pretensions. Substantial brick blocks are in evidence, and handsome stores and offices are seen on every street. The brick buildings would do credit to a serious illness of George Boyd has occurred covery is dispaired of. State he is suffering with dropsical tenderness have been summoned to les and other towns, and the week been at his feared the end is nearly spark of life may be pre-days or weeks. Mr. Boyd has been home for a fortnight. Uncomplaining sufferer ady for months past, generally known that he was serious.

Dr. Adams, who is in case, said at noon yestery patient was slightly imp preceding day, but was Corner lots on this boulevard bring $3500. Corners removed from the ocean front are held at $750, while inside lots on these thoroughfares bring $500. For a beach town of only two years growth Huntington Beach has no parallel in the state. The town is one of considerable pretensions. Substantial brick blocks are in evidence, and handsome stores and offices are seen on every street. The brick buildings would do credit to a city many times the size of this thriving beach metropolis. One sees the sign conspicuously displayed, "Buy lots before the electric road is built to Riverside." It is noteworthy that practically a solid sentiment exists in favor of this road coming by way of Garden Grove and Anaheim. The average Huntington Beach resident looks forward to the time when the town will be the largest beach town in Southern California. The peatland celery fields and the immense corn, potato and tomato tracts of the peatland lie at its back. The cannery gives employment to hundreds of people. An immense acreage is being planted to celery. The first of the crop is well out of the ground, and planting continues on a large scale. Last year's crop amounted to 3000 cars of celery. This year's output will beat it. In company of S. W. Price, the Huntington Beach booster, the writer enjoyed a ride over this pretentious seaside town a day or two ago. Surprise was expressed at the magnificent advancement made by the place on every hand since about a year ago. "If Anaheim will get right of way from Garden Grove to that town, and grade the roadbed," said one of the largest property owners at the beach, "we will see that the road goes by that town. Santa Ana has supporters here, of course, but the bulk of company stock would be voted in favor of Anaheim." Leading citizens of the place manifest the liveliest interest in this city, and talk freely of sending forth with a committee to further confer with our people regarding the route of the contemplated railway. The writer assured them they would find an hospitable welcome awaiting them. These Huntington Beach folk are good people to know. California was twenty competition, out of forty and territories competition was thirty-eighth. The U.S. navy rifle team place, Massachusetts secured U.S. army team third. "We had no chance with werners at all," said Selinger arrival: "they were equally instruments than coaches were provided with makes of marine glasses suit of each man's shot made known to him. With erful glasses the coach course of the bullet, as possible deflection owing which blew over the range case spot upon the target ball was indicated to the who was cautioned to change in order to meet existing conditions." "Our telescopes? They antiquated pattern and next Selinger says the Californians profited by the trip, leaving valuable pointers from their navy riflemen, as well as cracks."

Boon to Winemakers San Francisco, Sept 10.—Collector of Internal Revenue Lynch today received a telegram from acting Commissioner Williams at Washington that allays all the fears of sweetwine makers regarding brandy for the fortification of this year's wine. By a recent regulation of the department it was provided that no distilling could be done on the same premises where fermenting was carried on for wine making. The telegram of today knocks out this clause. It reads: "You may delay for present season, where necessary, enforcement of revised Regulation 28 under Article 9, reading: 'Material crushed for distillation must be at once run into tanks on the distillery premises and may not under any consideration be fermented on the winery premises.' And the last paragraph of said article, reading, 'Except on the sweet winery premises.' Otherwise the new regulations will stand." If you want something up to date in hats see Yungbluth & Kroeger. Serious Illness of George Boyd A very serious turn to the illness of George Boyd has occurred, and his recovery is dispaired of. His physicians have he is suffering with heart trouble, in dropsical tendency. Relatives have been summoned from Los Angeles and other towns, and have during the week been at his bedside. It is agreed the end is near, although the mark of life may be prolonged several weeks or weeks. Mr. Boyd has been confined to his home for a fortnight. He has been an complaining sufferer with the mal- for months past, and it was not generally known that his indisposition was serious. He recently returned on an extended trip, with his wife a little daughter, to Oregon and Washington and other northern points. He was thought a change of air and every would benefit him, but the library seems to have been the case. Some weeks ago relinquished active work at the cannery, with which he been connected as manager for a number of years, but until two weeks ago made periodical visits since the closing of the season. He is confined to his home on Olive set, where he spends much of the time seated in his easy chair. News of critical illness will cause regret a wide circle of friends in this community, where he has lived an arable and upright lift for many years. Eddy was called from Los Angeles on Tuesday. He pronounced the patient in critical condition, with little hope of recovery.

With these pow-wolves the coach could note the bullet, as well as any deflection owing to the wind blew over the range. The pre-treatment upon the target struck by a bullet indicated to the marksman, was cautioned to change his aim to meet existing conditions. Telescopes? They were of an updated pattern and next to useless." Selinger says the California team did by the trip, learning many new pointers from the army and defensemen, as well as the eastern coast resorts. JUST OUT. 1908 Prospectus of the Los Angeles Business College. Address the Secretary. Miss Hilda Harris of San Bernardino is a guest of Mrs. Falkenstein. Dean Swift. It is related of Dean Swift, whose satirical wit furnished many of the keenest epigrams found in the history of this difficult type of literature, that two lovers came to his house one stormy night to be married. The dean having retired for the night, the rap at his door soon brought him to a window overlooking the expectant couple. Leaning out of it and over them and learning the object of their errand, he exclaimed to them without any vexing delay, "Join your right hands." Then, pronouncing them "man and wife," he added the following rhythmic elaboration of the Scripture "What God hath joined together let no man put asunder: Here, under this window, in stormy weather, I join this man and woman together. Let none but he who made the thunder. E'er put this man and woman asunder. Planting For Winter. In planting for winter comfort must receive the first consideration. The rude north wind must have its force broken. This may be accomplished by planting evergreens for wind breaks. But it is best to attain the end without the formal array of a straight border, which is often too assertive. The outbuildings should be placed to do part of the work, but so as not to show too plainly that this was in view. Between the buildings groups of evergreens may be placed so as to make a pleasing variety, add a beauty of their own and effectually complete the wind breaking circuit. In all our northern states the northwest wind is the enemy whose assaults must be guarded against. But we have severe winds from the north and northeast, and these points should also be effectually covered. — James Wood in Garden Magazine. High Tide of Prosperity In round numbers the receipts of the public treasury the past year were $70,000,000 more than the preceding year. This increase, of course, was from the only two great sources the government has—cus-tions of recovery. The report of the week was received and filed; were ordered drawn up various demands there; The reports of theurer and superintendent turn received and filed; A communication for asked privilege of the week during the middle On motion the request granted on condition of suitable substitute to A communication for asked that a pipe can where he is building a ranch, and that the sewered three feet below of the surface. On motion the request granted on condition done at his expense, vision of our superintendent to carry water as well present time. A petition from W., the privilege of purchase of cement. Granted.

That the secrecy copy of this motion in said zanjeros. The motion was second wood and duly adopted. Applications on file for stock were granted. On motion of Bradford W.R.Barrett High Tide of Prosperity In round numbers the receipts of the public treasury the past year were $70,000,000 more than the preceding year. This increase, of course, was from the only two great sources the government has—customs receipts and internal revenue. The financial history of the country shows that customs receipts always go down with a shrinkage of incomes. And, on the other hand, a large increase from this source and from internal revenues (also luxury revenues) spells prosperity. When a deficit gets large, government does as the individual in business does. It borrows. The government is not borrowing now. On the contrary, the treasurer is so full-handed that he is redeeming high interest rate bonds with 2 per cent securities. And even these low rate bonds command a premium. What does the surplus and the refunding mean? It means that it is scarcely possible that a panic should come upon us like a thief in the night. There is nothing shoddy, nothing that will give way on sudden stress. The danger of panics is in speculation, and there is no speculation to speak of. Engagement Announced The interesting news comes from Phoenix, A. T., of the engagement of Miss Zelma Bailey, formerly of this city, to Hon. J. F. Cleaveland of Morenci, a member of the upper house of the Arizona legislature. Date of the wedding is not yet announced, but the happy event will be celebrated during the approaching winter. Miss Bailey is well known hereabout, having resided here with her parents until their removal, on account of her father's health, to a climate more removed from the ocean. She is a young lady of striking beauty, and has had numerous offers of marriage, to all of which she turned a deaf ear, until meeting her date in the person of the handsome young Arizona legislator. The prospective groom is engaged in many enterprises and conducts a newspaper at Forenci. The engagement has been discussed for a week or so past by friends of the bride-to-be in this city, among all of whom the best wishes for her future welfare finds abundant expression.

Hutchinson) relative to reports recently in circulation in this county relative to her erratic son-in-law: Orange, Sept. 6, 1907. Editor Gazette:—Will you kindly publish a correction of statements which have been made concerning Mr. Will Hutchinson, formerly of Anaheim. There is no truth whatever in the report that he has been tried and convicted of smuggling. The report has been circulated by an enemy and has no foundation in fact. I have just returned from a visit to Mexico, and found Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson prosperous and happy. The reports which I have seen, since my return, are entirely false. I will esteem it a favor if you will kindly correct the misstatements which have been made, as they are very annoying to the many friends of both families. Trusting that you will do this at once, I am very truly, Mrs. E. HONADEL. (Mother of Mrs. Hutchinson.) This good lady may be pardoned, for coming to the defense of her daughter's husband; but the consensus of opinion hereabout is that the less said concerning him the better. For some time past reports have been in circulation about him to the effect that he had been engaged in the gainful pursuit of smuggling across the Mexican border into Arizona. Later a report reached here that he had been pinched, and sentenced to twenty years in prison. Whether these reports be true or false will appear on arrival of advices from that point, which we looked for yesterday. This office has requested full details and will publish the same on their arrival. Do your corns hurt you?
