FAN TAN.
New Devices by Which Chiname
Escape


Detectives Auble, Bosqui, Bowler and
Hawley raided a fan tan game on Mar
chessault street last night and succeeded
in capturing the dealer, cashier and
seven players, all of whom were taken
to the city Jail, but subsequently secured
their release on bail. Since the passage
of the new ordinance relative to iron
doors, the Chinese gamblers have been
forced to tear down their former impreg-
nable doors, and in replacing them with
wooden frames, the law required them
not to exceed two inches in thickness.
To Offset the danger OF being surprised
by the breaking down of these wooden
doors, difficult feat when braced as
most of them are with pieces of scant-
ling, the willy heathens taxed their in
genuity to find means of speedy egress !;
and an examination of the premises last
night after the raid revealed no less than
six trap-doors, manholes and other in
tricacies calculated to puzzle even the
most astute detective, through which
most of the Cinnamon had made their
escape at the first alarm. .t.,

A HOME INDUSTRY.
The Meat Packing Establishment of R.
Eccles & Company.

That Los Angeles has mammoth
home industry is proven by the estab-
lishment of r. Eccles & Co. The HER
AID is more than gratifed to be able to
state that this firm is engaged in bust
ness that will not only be profitable to
themselves but also one of great moment
to hog raisers of Los Angeles county.
They make speciality of our own pork
and are packers and curers of the cele-
brated "Our Own" and "Crown" brand
of ham, bacon and lards. Their estab-
lishment, which is near the river off
Also street is perfectly equipped
for their business in every particular.
They have cold-storage rooms in which
their marketable wares are kept. They
do their own slaughtering, and porkers
are selected from among the best in the
county. r. Eccles & Co. are turning out
hams and bacon which for sweetness
and fine flavor are unsurpassed. AS it
is home industry it is worthy of sup

ask your grocer for their wares and try
them on their merits.

Preservation of the Macksrel Fisheries

OTTAWA. Ont, Mar. l2.-Commissioner
Gordon of the Canadian fishery protective
service, in his report to Parliament. urges
the sdvisability of an arrangement with the
government of the United States for the
preservation Of the mackerel fisheries. The
best method, he believes, would be the
absolute prohibition Of the use of the purse
seine, both in Canada and the United States.
He is confident that If this were done ex-
perimentally for few years, the beneficial
effects of such legislation would Justify its
enactment.
