ALAMITOS. A Place That naa Fine Harbor Ad vantages — Good. Hunting and Fishing-Prospect That It Will Become a Famous Oy»tcr Uardcn. Over a year ago tbe owners of the Rancho Los Alamitos conveyed three hundred acres of land in the vicinity of the inlets and bays which form the estuary of the New San Gabriel river to a corporation which agreed to build a rail road to Los Angeles. In addition to the three hundred acres, the right of way was granted to the company through the ranch. The line of railway was sur veyed, stations laid out and a good deal of preliminary work done. A townsite, well located, overlooking the bay and ocean, was surveyed, and everything was ready for active operations, when hard times came on and the projected work was suspended until a new impetus should be given to it by a revival of activities in this section. • A representative of tbe Herald has just spent a few days in inspecting the natural advantages of this embryo har bor, and was astonished to discover its many and positive merits. A body of water running parallel with the ocean for about two miles, from fourteen to seventeen feet in depth, forms the main inside harbor. This depth could be in creased indefinitely by dredging. New River disembogueß into this bay, and carries a depth of water of from twelve to fifteen miles inland. Its average width at high tide is about half a mile. The fiats, running from New river to the ranch house estuary are intersected with numerous sloughs, carrying quite a body of water. At high tide there is a very formidable expanse of water visible in land for several miles, and besides pre senting a most inviting outlook for har bor purposes, would make one of the finest courses for pleasure sailing on the coast. The exigencies of commerce, whatever they might be, could be met in this harbor by widening and deepen ing tbe channels at any desirable point. The entrance to tbe harbor from the sea is one mile wide, and the channel is perhaps one-half that width. The bar forms at the extremity of Alamitos Point and is from eight to ten feet below the water at ordinary low tide. Compe tent engineers have placed themselves on record as to the facility of deepening the channel across the bar by a system of jetties and training walls at compara tively small expense. Those who are familiar with the place and its forma tions say that the channel at the bar can be dredged to any depth that would be required even for the passage of deep-sea vessels, as nothing but sand would have to be removed. In addition to the cheapness and facility of opening this harbor, would be the fact that Los An geles, Downey, Anaheim and Santa Ana can all be reached from it in from fifteen to twenty miles. With these advan tages it wonld seem that it is only a ques tion of time when it will be utilized for ' the growing commerce of this section. Mr. John McGarvin, who occasionally writes interesting and suggestive letters < to the Herald, has resided on the mar- i gin of Alamitos Bay for six or seven years, has great faith in the successful outcome of this sheet of water not only as a busy harbor, but as a summer resort that possesses superior attractions to any of the resorts that have only the ocean beach to invite bathers to the water. The placid bay is particularly inviting to bathers who are not physically strong enough to copa with the breakers, and to those who prefer to enjoy tbe delights of a smooth swim in quiet waters to buf feting the powerful surf that sweeps in from tbe Pacific ocean. He says that for these reasons tbe number of campers on the bay is increasing every year. But the Alamitos estuaries are, per haps, destined to have a peculiar interest to Californians from the fact that experts Bent to this coast by the Government to select points at which it would be ad- i visable to plant and cultivate the East ern oyster have examined them, tested tbe water and pronounced it to be, in all respects, as favorable to the growth of t&e oyster as Chesapeake Bay. Indeed, their analysis of the water at a number of points resulted in the discovery tbat it was similar, in all respects, to the tests applied to the water of the most prolific oyster grounds of that bay. The experts assured Mr. McGarvin that they wonld make positively favorable reports of the Alamitos inlets to the United States Fißh Commissioner, and we may look for thorough and extensive experiments in oyster planting in those waters as a con sequence of the examinations referred to. If it should turn out that oysters can be raised in Alamitos Bay to com pare with those of Chesapeake, a field of industry will be opened at that point which, of itself, will make it a most valu able propertj'. In winter the inlets and arteries of this bay are the paradise of hunters. Ducks, geese, curlew, plover and all the aquatic game birds seek them for the feed and fish that abound on their mar gins and in their waters. A large pro portion of the wild game brought to this market in tbe winter season is sent from Alamitos by hunters who make a busi ness of it. Even now, with its sailing, swimming, fishing and hunting advan tages, Los Alamitos is becoming a favorite resort with our people. If, in addition, the harbor should be developed, and direct rail connection be made with it, its importance could be scarcely over estimated. EASTER SERVICES. What will be Done In tbe Cburcbes To-day. All day yesterday preparations were being made in most of the churches for the celebration of Easter to-day. Flow ers for decorative purposes arrived at the places ef worship in all manner of de signs appropriate to tbe occasion. Callaa, marguerites and white blossoms were in great demand, and the ladies of the various congregations had their hands full in putting them in place. The re sult of their labors was to give the inte riors of the churches a most inviting appearance. Easter services will be held in nearly every church in the city, and for these especial programmes of music have been arranged. A t the Cathedral an orchestra will assist the choral society and the organ. The music at St. Paul's will also be especially fine, and in the evening several services of praise will take place. At the Ascension Church, in Boyle Heights, Bey. D. Van Bokkelen will lead in the celebration of Holy Communion. The Easter services of Christ Church will be held at A. O. U. W. Hall. In the morning a special Sunday-school service will be held at the First Baptist Church, the children of the First Congregational Church joining as invited guests. The First Congregational Church will hold its services at the St. Vincent's building, where the Sunday-school service will take place in the evening. The Y. M. 0. A. will hold a special Easter service at Opera-house Hall in the afternoon. At the Main-street M. E. Church a praise service will be held in the evening. The Sunday-school Easter service at St. Paul's will be held ,'n the evening. The Easter services of Cceur de Lion THE LOS ANGELES DAILY" HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 21. 1889, Cjmrnandery, Knights Templar, will be held at the Los Angeles Theater at 3 ' o'clock in the afternoon, Sir Franklin ' Jordan, ,Commander; Rev. W. A. Knighten', Acting Prelate, and Sir A. G. ' Bartlett, Musical Director. The choir 1 will consist of Mrs. M. Perry-Davis, Mits > F. Lockhart, Messrs. Lotz and Austin. ! The Knights will turn out in full uni i form and the services will be most inter esting. Tbe Seventh Regiment band will be in attendance and will play tbe prelude and offertory. The choir will sing "Christ is Risen, by Danks; "Te Deum Laudamus," by Burnap; "Holy Father," by Faure, and "Suppliant Law," by Gilbert. Very handsome pro grammes have been printed for the occa sion and the public generally is invited. PREPARED FORFAR. Wong Oolpli Ucin a Permit to Carry a Revolver. WongGolph applied to Mayor Hazard yesterday for a permit to carry a con cealed weapon, to-wit, a revolver. Wong was the man who accompanied the Con stables in tbe fan tan raid which was made about a week ago, and he was also one of the chief prosecuting witnesses in tbe complaint. These acts have not contributed to the popularity of Wong with the highbinder fraternity, and he was far from being in favor with them before he took a hand in this crusade. After the complaint was sworn out it was nearly a week before any one could be found who was willing to assist in carry ing it out. At last Wong stepped for ward, and did the work well. For several days past the fact has been known in Ciiinatown and openly advertised by printed circulars, that a reward of $400 had been offered for the killing of Wong by the highbinders. He is a plucky Chinaman and has been in a number of fights, so the fraternity is not very rash about tackling him. Wong comes from Arizona and in that Territory he served the Government as a detec tive among the Chinese, and through his testimony, at various times, five murder ers were brought to justice and convicted. Four hundred dollars is a good deal of money to a Chinese professional mur derer, and seme men would run away, when such a bounty was offered for their beads, but Wong proposes to stay and fight it out. When the Mayor was drawing up the permit to carry a concealed weapon, he turned to the applicant and said: "I suppose you want this made out for a six-shooter, Wong?" "A five-shooter would be enough, I think," he answered, "for most any man, but I take six-shooter if you give me permit for that." The Eagle Bock Road. Some people may be wondering why it is that the Eagle Rock people have taken no legal measures regarding the tearing up of their road. It will be remembered that they had subsidized it to tbe amount of $15,000, and therefore they claimed that they had a certain ownership in it. It is not their fault that no action has been begun. The case was placed in the hands of attorneys, who, however, found, o« in vestigation, that a suit was impossible. It appears that the road was subsidized to Mr. Rodgers as a private individual, and the law, therefore, cannot prevent him from transferring his property in the way he did. Had it been turned over to a corporation, though, tho matter would have been different, for then the liabili ties would have gone with it. The Seaside. Free Sunday amueement, Sunday, April 216t.
