hnds little to do in that line and he has
had to quit. Four months ago in Van
derbilt, as all over Southern California.

willingly board man II he would agree
TO do all the swearing about the hard
times both for himself and for his en-
ployer. But now all is changed. In
stead OF q great and oppressive silence
there is life and energy manifested
everywhere. Every body is getting
happy except the grumbler, who grow
more and more discouraged as matters

ner. The company is to be compli
nented for the excellent judgment
'nown in the eelection of Mr.. Charles

If doing everything. Under his super
vision the Bronze is being splendid,
