Ell MONTE.

Fertile District of Rich, Moist Lands.
The Pioneer American Colony.
Ell Monte is the oldest American COL
ony in Southern California. 1t was ca.
tablished in the year 1851 by immi-
grants from Arkansas and Texas. For a
long time there was trouble over land
titles by reason of Mexican grants.
Nearly all the pioneers have died or
moved away, and most of their children
have gone, yet there is goodly popula-
tion.
In early days, when society was ill
organized, and every man was a law un-
to himself, there were great many
deeds of violence committed, murder
was life, and the vigilance committees
often arrested, tried, convicted, sem
fenced and executed the guilty. But
now there is no more orderly, quiet and
we'll behaved village in Southern Cali
fornia than El Monte. 1t is a Demo.
cratic stronghold, and its people are in
dustrious, generous and warm hearted.
The name literally means mountain,
but by some process it is here under
stood to mean woods, as forest of will
low once covered all the lowlands of Ell
Monte.
These lowlands are situated at the
north of the Paso del Bartolo, through
which the San Gabriel river flows into
Los Angeles valley. They are about four
long north and south. They are quite
damp. or moist from the fact that the
water comes up close to the surface
auo Trrf1 ia q
thing not needed. For this reason
alfalfa and maize grow luxuriantly, and
horses, neat cattle and hogs have abund-
ant feed. The blue gum tree also yields
o staple crop. Melons and the squash
and other vegetables do remarkably
we'll.
This section being low and moist has
more frost than the dry uplends, hence
citrus fruits are barred.
Just to the west and in the same dis
trict is the hamlet of Savannah. posses
ing all the characteristics of Ell Monte.
Near by is the famous Rosemeade horse
farm of l.. j. Rose, and at Savannah is
that of Mr.. Ford.
Southwest of Ell Monte is the old mis-
zion, where the franciscan fathers fist
established the mission of San Gabriel;
this in the year 1771, but few years
later they moved it to the present site.
The relic hunter with his kodak can
find no more inviting field than the
Monte region. A half dozen or more
old houses, built in the southern style,
forty years ago, at great cost, with lum-
ber bought of the Mormons at San Ber-
nardino, lend an air OF antiquity to its
rural scenes.
Just north of the town the Whittier
Water company has number OF arte-
sian wells, from which water is con-
Quoted in big 1ume down to Whittier.
The town has postoffice, station on
the Southern Pacific railroad 16 miles
from Los Angeles, good hotel, stores.
blacksmith shops, etc.

Stub Ends of Thought.

Man masters money by letting it mas

Good manners are polish; good breed

A smile can never get very far from a

The dictionary can define what q

Beauty may catch us, but it can't al

Temptation is cut to fit all sizes.
A liar is the devips gatling gun.
Procrastination is tomorrow strung

Vice is beautiful at long range.

No Panic There.

Rome (Ga.) Hustler.
The FIatwoods section has given to Rome
moro pushing and progressive elements
than any other section of north Georgia, a
fact which can easily be proven by Sheriff
Jake Moore IT was in the Flatwoods that
this little incident occurred: Major Jim
was coming to the city. When opposite
Colonel Bilrs cabbage ranch he was ac-
costed and invited in. Colonel Bill saying:
Come right in, Major, and wait a minnit,
and I'll go long ter town wild YER"
After p quarter OF an hour spent In dis
cussing crops. and politics. and the wealth
er, Major Jim arose and remarked he
must be er wallSin'."
''Oh. set down. exclaimed the Colonel.
''huts early yet"
The Major sat down again and talked
about the panic ''bein a rich mans panic,
an he liked ter see IL gwine on"
Presently, not seeing the Colonel I'm any
hurry to start. he arose the second time
''Oh, set down, Major. and don't be so
restlessi' exclaimed the Colonel I'll be
reddy in q few minnits now" and. lean
ing over. he whispered, I've got eleben
aiGs in that air basSit an old dominick' S
been on the nest a han hour. an I'm five
rninnits I'll have the dozen and will have

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Trade Was More Active and Prices
Showed Signs of Weakness.

On the wholesale streets, yesterday, there
was more activity than on either of the
preceding days of the week, but in many
lines tendency TO lower prices is dis
cernable. There are some lines of goods
which should be selling we'll now. but
which are moving out slowly. Grocers are
the only men who seem to be able 10 hold
up prices. Seldom are the changes so few
In the grocery line as for the last three
months. Woodenware is lower, with beans
and dried fruits of some descriptions. but
row lower prices are the rule, except on
apples, which come under the head of lux
urfes. Irish and sweet potatoes are on the
decline. while the same is true of poultry
eggs and provisions.

inches, In our measurement. Little Ber-
nadat came Of age this year and was
summoned to draw his number ont Of
the conscription urn like his fellc +
the same age, and he SraveIy pre- ID
himself as bidden. At first, when his
name was called out, it was thought he
was some child who had been brought
in and was told to answer as joke. But
on looking at him again it was seen that
he was dwarf with a slight nlustache.
AS the top Of his head did not reach
to the level Of the table on which the urn
was placed, gendarme in attendance
laid hold Of him by the collar and lifted
him up to draw his number. The father
of this illiputian soldier, who of course
will not really be made to serve, is a
we'll to do farmer, who is very fond of
him and has refused several seductive
offers from showmen who have wanted to
exhibit him.-LondOn Views.

When Oysters Were Used For Fuel.

The "raising" of ore and the manufac-
ture Of irOn therefrom was the leading
industry of south Jersey during the early
part of. this century. Charcoal was the
fuel used and coalings were common
throughout the pines" An active coal
ing is now seldom seen. Shells were
hauled by wagon or rowed and poled by
scow from the seashore for a fux, the
oyster then being of more value for that
purpose than for food. Better oysters
could be picked from those shell heaps
than can be bought at the stands today.
In memorandum kept by the "mas-
ter ore raiser" for one of the largest fur
naces there are many interesting notices
of large quantities of CLANS and rum
bought and sold, but the oyster is never
mentioned. These account books were
decorated with the pictures of soldiers
and warships, showing well the prevail
ing thought of those days.-John Gif-
ford in Popular Science Monthly.
