MOROCCO.
Eu thcr Points Gu This Aristo-
cratic suburb.

The announcement in the HERALD
founded on the Rodeo de las Aguas
has eau .ed no end of inquiry about
the proposition. This is not TO be
wondered at. The location. the
scenery, the water supply and the
magnificent plans OF the projectors
might well createa little enthusiasm.
Yesterday HERALD reporter saw
block OF granite on exhibition in the
office of gentleman interested in
building. The fine texture of the
stone and its beautiful color attracted
the eye of the newspaper man, and
he asked where it came from. The
person here referred to looked up q
little vacantly from his desk with an
interrogatory, and the question being
repeated, he said:
'Oh, that granite 1t is from Cold
water Canon, in the Cahuenga noun
tains. Is it not fine stone?'
Further inquiry elected the further
information that the Southern Pacific
has run survey from the Palms sta
ton on the Santa Monica road up the
Rodeo de las Aguas, directly past the
site of the new town of Morocco,
through Cold Water Canon, within a
stones throw of the quarry whence
this granite comes, thence down into
the San Fernando Valley beyond,
and so on through the Santa
susanna Mountains to the SINH
country and to the ocean
to Ventura. 1t will probable form a
junction with the Santa Barbara
Road at some point. This, with the
Los Angeles County Road, will give
Morocco two means OF reaching this
city, and the Dummy road, which is
now operated to the La Brea ranch
is soon to be extended to the heart Of
the Rodeo de Las Aguas, thus
making three ways to reach Los An.
geles. The road from the Palms will
furnish means OF transportation te
bring out this granite for building
purposes at Morocco. Mark the prog
nostication OF the HER. AID, this is tc

TWO TRACKS
From First and Spring to wash =
ingtOn and FiguerOa.

AT about a quarter to o'clock last
evening the last spike was driven in
the connecting link between the two
lines of rails which join at the corner
of First and Spring streets, and now
give street-cars between that point
and Washington and Figueroa
streets full swing. Between these
two points on the Fifth and
Olive street line there are no lon
ger any switches wherein passengers
have waited at times until they lost
what little patience they possessed.
Strar gers visiting this city have often
expressed wonder at the sight of SO
many carriages on the streets,
and when they sought informa-
ton as to why this was so,
they were told that the street-car
service was too slow and that many
people kept carriages because they
could not afford to waste their time
waiting on switches. The Los Ange-
les Gable Company, into whose hands
the Fifth and Olive street line passed
some time since, recognized the fact
that the city was too large for single
track street railway, and commenced
the construction of double tracks to
replace the single one that had been
operated before. During the construc-
ton of these double tracks the public
has been put to great deal of incon-
venience, but it has borne it without
murmur, in the expectation of get
ting better service in the future,
and from appearances the residents
in the southern part OF the city will
now be able to take car at the corner
of First and Spring streets and reach
their homes without delay. This
part OF the city has grown so fast that
the residents think they are entitled
to cars every three minutes and to
quick passage. Those residing along
the line of the Sixth street road are
hoping that some move will be made
IN the near future to put in double
tracks along its route. The Gable
Road Company is making prepare
tons for an early commencement of
its cable system. The iron work is
now being manufactured, but con-
siderable delay has had to be met on
account of the scarcity of cement.
AS soon as everything is in readiness
the work will be commenced and car
ried rapidly forward to completion.

satisfy his mind that the entertain
ment was, in the main, a social one.
However, at this time the reception
committee redeemed itself by making
every one feel easy, and throwing a
spirit Of good feeling about all present.
The following excellent programme
was very much enjoyed: A duet by
Messrs. Breener and Gallschalk.
Miss N. Large rendered vocal solo.
Miss Large has a remarkably sweet
voice, and her singing was highly ap-
preciated. Violin solo, Mr.. Bremen.
MIS-. James A. Modesto created a
great deal of merriment by her divert
ing rendition of a Laughing Solo"
An original poem eff decided merit,
entitled "Truth:" was read by Mr..
Townsend. Mr.. Burgess read a semi
comical essay on "People Who Have
Hobbies" A second time Miss N
Large favored the audience with a
vocal solo. After these exercises a
light lunch was announced as being
in waiting in one OF the class-rooms,
to which all retired and enjoyed the
prepared delicacies, together with
social conversation.
Before dispering it was announced
that Rev. E. Payson Hammond, the
well-known evangelist, would COM
mence a series of meetings at the
First Congregational Church tonight.
Rev. Mr.. Hammond is we'll known in
the Eastern States, and is regarded
both as an eminent evangelist and
traveller, having spent some eight or
more years in England, Scotland,
Switzerland, Palestine and other
countries. He has just closed a series
Of meetings in San Diego, prior to
which he held services for nine weeks
in Union Hall, San Francisco,
preaching to from three to four thous-
and people almost every night. Mr..
Hammond wishes especially to have
in his audience the young people,
with whom he has had large expert
ence and for whom he has written
nearly hundred books and tracts.
All are cordially invited to attend.
Services to commence at 7 80 p. NJ.

ILLINOIS SOCIETY.
Pleasant Entertain ment Given
Last Night.

The Illinois Society met last night
in the usual place of meeting at 1OS
North Main street. The hall was
filled to overlooking and many went
away, being unable to gain admit
lance. The meeting was called to
order by President Hoyt and Secre-
tary Melick read the minutes of the
last meeting, which were adopted, and
was followed by a piano solo from
Mrs. Luther, after which the election
of officers occurred, which resulted in
Mr.. Hoyt continuing as President and
Mr.. w. S. Melick, Secretary. The
exercises were rendered in the follow
ing order: Recitation, "Mother Hub
bard's Sermon" w. A. Ryan. Song,
Remembered" by Mrs. S. Durham,
which was heartily encored. Reel
tation, "Too Late for the Train"
Miss Mamie Short, which was also
we'll received. "All about the
Weather." after which ex-Gov. J. J.
Casper illustrated in his humorous
way how woman could swear by
proxy. Mr.. kellogg interested the
children by a few slight of hand
maneuvers and an exhibition of mes
merical powers.
Miss Forester rendered a fine solo
and M. S. Arevalo gave guitar solo,
after which Rev. Mr.. Thompson made
several remarks concerning his expert.
ences in Illinois in 1910. The ques-
ton of securing large hall was then
discussed, and the following commit.

Messrs. Church, Hill and Hay. The
Secretary announced the following
committee to make arrangements fol
the next entertainment, which will
occur January 9th: w. A. Ryan

The audience, after listening to ont
more of Mrs. S. Dunham's favorit'

Leap Year German.

An unique departure was taken in
the way of Germans last evening.
AS is well known, there has been a
series of these delightful parties given
at "L'Escuela," on Ellis avenue.
Last nights affair was one of this Sc
ries; but the difference in this from
the others was that advantage was
taken Of the privileges of leap year,
and the order of things reversed. The
young ladies asked the men to dance
with them; they led the dancing, and
performed all those delicate little at
tentions which usually fall to the lot
of the other sex. About forty couples
were present, and to the pleasure OF
the German was added the merriment
consequent upon the reversed order
Of things. Altogether, the evening
was thoroughly enjoyable.
