Leading Men of Los Angeles Say It Gives an Impetus to Business. Confidlent That the Raillway From Salt Lake Will Now Be Constructed. LOS ANGELES, Car, March 3.—The nitude of yesterday’s victory in be- half of California’s people as against a vowerful corporation in the matter of the deep-water harbor decision is beginning to be realized. ay’s delirium of delight a s d thought pos- sesses the minds of the populace, and they for the benefits that will accrue from the co t. The decision has given siness here un- as been the recipient of ums here to-day from those have ‘been active in the late battle benall. of the people’s harbor, are that THE CALL’S course has onsistent from the start and there- inestimable value in the contest sed. One incident is especially in this connection and has | cen the subject of comment as well as | all eides. It is the fact that tdisplay of trumpets or claim to ry foresight it was the first newspaper on the coast to name the win- ning site, San Pedro, even designating e Commissioner (Morgan) who d refuse to sign ihe report with the ers. This was the first and only tangi- ormation nublished on the subject r to the public and general pressan- uncement of yesterday. TaE CaLL published on the morning of 3 substantially all that has vouchsafed since upon the sub- that San Pedro had won the i the ¢ w ot b complished by the concurrent egree- i four members out of s total of : favoring Santas Monica. I. E. Gibbon, vice-president of the nal Railway Company, referring to this bit of good news in THE CALL, which antedated by several days the same in- 1 ation in its contemporaries, said: “Iue CALL has just reasons for being roud of 118 record in this harbor matter, i to my certain knowledge the vspaper which came under my ob- to name the site for the deep- sentiments were expressed by .

W. Frank of the Mer- " and Manufacturers’ Association— 0 hly gratitied at the resuit of the bor commissioners’ decision, and feel erity cannot be a stranger to on when this great work is com- San Pedro is the natural site for but seen the matter in the same those of us who have lived here years and know that the right spot t last been selected. 3. L. Hutchinson—The de- &..'on of the commission is a great victory for the people. Now if Congress will only take the matter up andstart work as soon as possible, letting thecontracts if vossi- ble in Southern California, it will furnish employment for thousands of men who badly need work. Times will improve at once and this section will experience an eraof progresssuch as has never been seen here before. President George H. Bonebrake of the Los Angeles National Bank—It means the expenditure of the immense appropria- tion made by Congress. It will be a splen- did thing for the business interests of this city. I havenodoubt whatever about the building of the Salt Lake road. The selec- tion of San Pedro for the harbor may be the means of connecting ihe Terminal road with the San Joaquin Valley road. The heavy owners of the terminal road ide in _the East, are men of influence and are right in the center of the financial circle. A deep-water harbor wil! attract thipping to this southern coast and it will greatly stimulate business in this section. The benefits that will be derived from tuis great enterprise cannot be overesti- mated. Hon, J. F. Humphreys — I always thonght it would go to S8an Pedro, asthat is the nataral piace for a harbor. I worked for it, and am delighted to know the matter has been settled. The impor- tance of this public improvement cannot be overestimated. Itwillhavea tendency to direct capitalists in this direction, and will have an important bearing on all our ‘:alennl interests. The mere announce- | ent that the harbor matter has been ttled will draw the attention of wealthy men on the ontside to this section. 1t will boost along the building of the pro- posed road to Salt Lake, which will form the eastern outlet for the terminal road. Ex-Mayor Workman—The biggest thing in the history of the city. It marksa new era ih the prosperity and progress of Los Angeles. The Salt Lake road will follow as a natural sequence. E 3 Bishop Monigomery—It is a great thing | fight, and that the resuit had been | T eep-sea harbor, and the commissioners | for Southern California. The expenditure of $3.000,000 or any part of it in this sec- tion at this time will resultin uniold good. “The terminal road,” said Vice-Presi- dent Gibbon, *'was built originally to al- ford facilities to Los Angeles and open the future deep-water harbor of Los An- geles at San Pedro to a line of transconti- nental road which the projectors of the terminal believe would be constructed from Salt Lake to this city. The five-year de'ay in the definite location of the har- bor, which was cansed by the opposition at once arising upon iis becomine ap- parent that the ccnstruction at San Pedro would attract another transco..tinental road, caused the postponement of the building of the new line. Now that the barbor matter is definitely settled in favor of Sen Pedro, where it will be free to com- peting lines of railway, it would appear that the Salt Lake project would very shortly materialize.” President of 1he Council Herman Silver —Like every other good citizen I am glad that the harbor question is settled. I think that the commission acted wisely, and its decisign will be generally in- dorsed. General Charles Forman—It is a great thing for the city. While I always thouglt the decision would be for San Pedro, I am glad that it is settled and I hope that actual work will Legin in the near future. Councilmen Nickell—We should ail be glad that the question is settled. It is worth millions to Soutnern California and will be a great factor in our future rogress, Councilman Ashman—I was always a San Pedro man and am glad that my judgment has received such a big indorse- ment. Councilman Toll—I don’t see how it could have been otherwise. Of course [ am glad that the question is settl-d. Councilman Mathuss—I favored San Pedro first, last and all the time. The re- portis a matter for general congratula- tion. THE VOLCANG IN THE LAKE. Striking Natural Phenomenon in Great Sa/t Lake Confirmed by a Farmer Who Saw I SALT LAKE, Uran, March 3.—Eviden- ces that some very striking natural phenomena are at work in the great Salt Lake a few miles west of Brigham City, continue to appear. A Herald special from Brigham City, received late this evening, says that Martin Rbauer, an old citizen residing near Corinne ana close to the shore of the lake, confirmy the reports of the recent volcanic disturbances in the island sea. In fact, he not only contirme the first story sent out to THE CALL, but adds to it the startling intelligence that the eruntion, or upheaval, is not a geyser, but a volcano, as at first reported, from which smoke and possibly fire ascen He claims to have seen the smoke arising, and locates | the scene about four miles southwest of e, a station in Utah on the Central 3 volumes of smoke are | emitted, but that the yolcapo seems to be particularly active in the forenoon or a | few hours previous to sunset. This may {bedue to the fact th:at the smoke is at | that time in front of the sun. | _ Mr. Rhauer, however, not only con- firms the existence of the first upheaval | reported, which he says he believes has | formed a cone or mound, but also reports | that be has discovered another upheaval a | short distance away. The Great Salt e has fallen several | feet within the last three years, and the | water between the Brigham City shore | and the island is very shallow compera- | tively at present, so that it would not re- | quire much sediment to form a mound, A CaLL representative will join another | expedition to the lake to make an investi- ation. i SECRET CONCL i VES AT STOCKTON. Mystery Burrownds the Doings of the 4. | P. A. Conventions. S8TOCKTON, Can., March 3.—The sec- ond day of the conventions in this city of |the A. P. A, and the W. A. P. A. was characterized by the same secrecy as was | observed on the opening day. The dele- gates actually go as far as to say that the | convention is going on, but that is the | extent of the communicativeness on the | subject. | State President Hudelscn was asked at the noon recess to-day whether the elec. tion of officers wou!d “take vlace to-day, and he replied that it would very proba- | biv not. He said that the namesof the | officers would be given to the press when | they were elected.

Bearce Got the Worst of a County Warrant Quarrel. 0. S. Robinson Took H mself and His Pistol to the Police Station. The Trouble Said to Date Back Two Years Concerning Othaer Finan- cial Dealings. TACOMA, WasH., March 3.—0. 8. Rob- inson, a former clerk in the office of the County Auditor, this morning shot and probably “fatally wounded George M. Bearce in the latter’s office in the Gross biock. Bearce is a broker in warrants, and the trouble between them arose regarding some claims they had purchased against the county, although, accordinz to Robin- son, the true cause of the trouble is busi- ness dealings, which dated back for two years. ilmmediately after the shooting Robin- son went to the police station and gave himself up, while Bearco was taken to Fannie Paddock Hospital, where an un- successful effort was made to locate the bullet. To-morrow another attempt will be made. It entered his upper lip, crashed through the facial bones and is imbedded somewhere between the roof of his mouth and his brain. - Their claims against the county bad been shaved down $25, and each wanted the other to stand the loss. Robinson claims Bearce made a lunge at him when he, in turn, fired in seli-defense. Bad feeling existed previously over an invest- ment of about $2000 made by Bearce for Robinsor, to whom money had been sent by a friend in New York. The friend wanted a settlement some time ago, but Robinson claims Bearce still retains about $500. This has caused the former much worriment, and lately be has been treated by a physician for” melancholia, which rendered him unfit for business. ‘When Robinson appeared at the police station he was in a state of almost total collapse. For several minutes he could not control himself sufficiently to make known his 1dentity. Mrs. Robinson was sent for, and immediately summoned a physician. Robinson lost an arm years ago in railroad service. He was once chief clerk at the wharf for the Northern Pacific Railroad, but was iet out during the strike three years ago. He has al- ways been popular among his acquaint- ances. Bearce has had trouble over finan- cial matters before and is considered very aggressive in his business dealings. YUMA’S GOLD EXCITEMENT. Tales of Fabulous Strikes Cause a Rush of Prospectors to the Moun- tains. YUMA, Arrz., March 3—The excite- mentucecasioned here by fabulous strikes in the monntains seventy-five milesnorth- east of Yuma is increasing daily and scenes enacted in the early days of Cali- fornia may be repeated. None of the ore brought in from the rich strikes runs less than $2000 to the ton, and much of it goes a great deal higher. A store has been opened at the place and a stage line es- tablished at Sentinel, a point on the rail- road nearest to the scene, for the accom- modation of the excited men who are rushing to get some of the valuable ground. The efforts of the discoverers to keep the location secret were frustrated by a prospector named Kane. He was at Gila City, tifteen miles eas: of here, when the discoverer, Edward Eichelberg, returned from Yuma with mining expert Frank Guerra, He started on their trail, moanted on a burro and with aothing to eat but a box of sardines and a can of corned beef; but he followed their wazon tracks for forty miles throngh the hills, arriving 1n the middle of the night, foot- sore and hungry. ‘The following morning Kane discovered and located some claims which prospect weil up into the thousands. Then he pre- pared to return, only to find that his burro had deserted. He was compelled to walk the entire distance back and was for two days without food. S ° IKR1GATION IN ARIZONA. Work Begun on a Canal That Will Make the Desert Bloom. YUMA, Ariz, March 3.—A company has been formed and has begun work on the Gravity Canal in the Lower Colorado Valley, fifteen miles below Yuma, which will turn the waters of the Colorado River on 8000 acres of rich land for which Yums County is beginning to become famous, It is the first to be consummated of half a dozen enterprises of like character, though all of greater magnitude, which have been hanging fire in this section for many years. Owing to the fact that a large portion of the richest land in the county has been in- volved in litigation between the Govern- ment and parties claiming it as a grant from the Mexican Government, the imme- diate prospect of a settlement of the case is turning tie tide and several monster ir- rigation enterprises will soon go through. s Judgments Against J. Rich. SAN JOSE, CavL.,, March 3.—The Home Mutual Insurance Company was given judgment against Jacob Rich, an insol- vent debtor, in five foreclosure suits for sums aggregating”~ $28,86990 by Judge Hyland this morning.

Bradshaw, Prominent as Pioneer and Politician. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasq., March 3.— Hon. Charles M. Bradshaw, one of the most prominent and highly respected pio- neers of this section, died last evening at his home in this city after a lingering illness from Bright's disease. Bradshaw was born.in Pennsylvania in 1831, and twenty vears later came across the plains to Washington, locating first at what is now known as Dungeness, and later at Port Townsend, where he had since resided. He was the first represen- tative from this county in the Territorial Council. In 1886 he was the Republican candidate for delegate to Congress, but was defeated through the workings of women’s suffrage, which was at that time undergoing its initial experiment in this Btate. In 1889 Bradshaw was appointed Col- lector of Customs for the Puzet Sound dis- trict. His incumbency was the most sen- sational in the history of the distriet, scandal following scandal in. rapid suc- cession, most of the trouble being occa- sioned by dishonest and careless officers in the service. The climax came in 1891, when Bradshaw resigned and was suc- ceeded by Andrew Wasson, at that time anew arrival in the State. Immediately after relieving him<ell of the cares and worries of public life, Bradshaw was at- tacked by an iliness which for seven years struggled to gain a victory over his vigor- ous constitution and remark able vitality. e ABEERDEEN DEPOT ROBBED, Masked Bandit Fells the Agent With a Club and Iobs the Safe. .

Shortly before 3 o’clock, while he was at work at his desk, a large, heavy-set man came in, with a mask over his face and, when Clark looked up, struck him over the head with a club, rendering him un- conscious. He then took the day’s freight and pas- senger receipts and the private money of Clark’s out of the safe, the whole amount- ing to about §500. A man answering the description given by Clark had been hanging around the town several days. T:e Sheriff is out with a posse and the robber cannot get out of the country unless he walks out over some of the back country roads. Clark’s injuries will not prove serious. He is 46 years of age, has a large family, and has been agent at Aberdeen for six years. s WASHINGTON FUREST RESERVES. Large Tracts Withdrawn From Settle- ment by Clereland’s Order. SEATTLE, Wasn., March 3.—Much in- dignation has been aroused here, since its sweeping nature became known, over President Cleveland’s forest reserve executive order of February 22.

San Francisco Syndicate’s Bil at go Cents on the Dollar Accepted. Completion of the Systems in Stan- islaus County Will Now Be Hasten: MODESTO, Car., March 3.—The Tur- lock Irrigation District’s bonds have bean «old and now there is notuing standing in the way of completing the irrigating sys- tem and running water upon the lands of the district. The new board of directors, recently elected, met yesterday at Turlock for the first time. The principal business was opening the sealed bids for the remaining bonds of the district, amounting to $472,500. There were two bids presented, one from Gen- eral W. H. H. Hart, which provided for the purchase of bonds as the progress of work required, the other from Robert A. Friedrich, representing a San Francisco syndicate of wealthy men. It bid for the bonds at 90 cents on the dollar, uncon- ditioned. The latter bid was accepted and the news soon spread throughout the country that the sale of the bonds, so long delayed, had at last been made. Judge Waymire of San Francizco ad- early and Get Two Dollars’ Worth for One ! C. CUOR'LIIIN, NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOOD< RELHT BT EFTETEIIBT TR EL %0 C. CURTIN Going Out of Business! We have been closed for the past two days making preparatious for the GREAT CLOSING-OUT SALE, Which Commences THIS MORNING AT 9 0’CLOCK. The entire stock of Seasonable Goods, a great portion of which have only quite recently arrived, have been marked far below the cost of importation. Having DECIDED POSITIVELY to give up the Dry Goods business the sooner the stock is disposed of the sooner store rent, clerk hire and other expenses incidental to conducting a large business will cease, therefore I say to all who are in need of dry goods anticipate your wants, come dressed the board at length. He entered into a contract some time ago to finish the district’s system for these same bonds, but when the Supreme Court handed down the decision known as the Hughson vs. Crane decision, 1t practically pre- cluded the idea of his taking the bonds as pay, because this decision was to the effect that no bonds could be exchanged for work, but must be advertised and sold accoraing to law. The new board of directors announc=d their intention of proceeding with the work, and the general suppositjon is that Judge Waymire will push the work of the district immediately. He now has a small force of men tunneling near Big Dam. In Modesto irrigation district the new board of directors met, organized ana transacted routine business. As with the Turlock board, the Modesto directors ex- pressed a desire to immediately proceed with the completion of the system, al- though part of the board ‘were formerly the most active anti-irrigators in the dis- trict. After appointing an attorney for the district they gave him explicit in- structions regarding any further district litigation. Heretofore the first thing done by counsel in litigations has been to file demurrers, ask for continuances and make all other kinds ol delays known to the legal prof. ssion. The board adopted a resolution aimed at all these delays. Hereafter when suit is brought against the district the attor- ney of the district will be expected to im- mediately prepare an answer to the com- plaint and force the case to trialon its merits, withont allowing ths heretofore long-winded technical objections. Had this proceeding been established many vears ago litigation would have long since becn ended and the full legal status of the districts been fully and definitely deter- mined. The resolution reads: Resolved, That itbe the sense of this board that no continuence be granted in pending litigation, and that all cases wherein the in- terests of the district are affected they be prose cuted as speedily as possible.
