Senator Washburn May Secure One For
Fort Smelling.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-There is a
possibility that a bill may pass congress
providing for the establishment of a
branch of the national soldiers home
in Minnesota. It is learned on pretty
good authority that Senator Washburn
is contemplating the Introduction of a
measure providing for the establish
ment Of a branch home, like that at
Milwaukee for instance, at Fort Smell
ing. To do this it would be necessary
to have the scheme sanctioned by con-
gress and an appropriation would prob
ably be made for this purpose. In the
event that this plan should be carried
out, it is presumed that the state sol.
diers' home at Minnehaha Falls would
be sold in order to help bear the ex
pense Of the national branch at Fort
Smelling, or some other location to be
decided upon,

La FIESTA.

The city lie overhowing with visitors
who have come to enjoy the unique week
OF festivities that will commence today.
Los Angeles never looked Eaysr than 1t
does now. Everywhere, in the streets
and on the houses the signs Of a season
of holidays, are conspicuously visible.
Never before has the city been 80 com.
pletely or lavishly decorated, and never
before have the people entered with
more unsnimity into the spirit OF joy
GUS occasion.
The parade today will be remarkable
for its historical spectacles, and for the
wealth of picturesdue effect that will
illuminate the grand procession. The
scene at the grand stand, when the rule
of the city is handed over to the queen
of the Fiesta de Los Angeles, will be q
most beautiful and satisfactory one, and
the choir OF voices will make the air
resonant with song.
The programm is published in another
part of this issue, and its close psrusal
will show that the committee OF ar.
rangements have acquitted themselves
of their task in a most gratifying man
ner. Now that the fiesta has COM

New Los ANGELES TnEATER.-A good

tive one, witnessed the fiesta benefit
performance last night. 1t was one of
the most enjoyable entertainments that
has been given in the thsater for long
time. The advance guard OF the queen

and in possession of the boxes, where
they indulged in masked pleasantries

The reign of misrule inaugursted by the
imperial boo y9usrd is infectious, and
bids fair to become epidemic before the
week has grown much older.
The first part of the programme was
an act from the always charming Pa
tence, given under the direction of e.
NJ. Pyke, the participants being the
ladies and gentlemen who gave it 80
artietically few weekg ago. 1t WAS an
exceedingly smooth performance and
the audience was enthusiastic in its re-
ception OF it. Mrs. Louise Manfred

and ls the same charming little actress

Parker as Bumborne and Tom E. Rowan
as Grosvenor were all excellent, and
Mics Orilla Donnell, Mise TeInplar Allen,
Miss Jessie Padgham and Mrs. Wash
ton Berry, the rapturous maidens, sang
most swestly.
The choruses supplied some of the
most enjoyable portions OF the perform
ance. They were admirably rendered
and were made up OF the following ladies
and gentlemen:

Following Patience were several en-
ioyable numbers. Pretty Ada Smith, a
little maiden, gave dance; Mr.. Fred

Of drive. Until a man gets past 30
years of age in that country he never
thinks OF becoming the owner OF q
buggy. So the apparent disparity in the
number Of thoroughbreds is easily &C.
counted for. 1t is a fact not generally
known that all the running horses in
the world are descended from the male
lines of three English Match-
en-, foaled in l74s; Hewd. in 1853, and
Eclipse. in 1764. 1t WAS on the latter
horse that O'Kelly, his owner, made the
wager of $1,000 that he would place the
horses. On its being accepted, he said
Eclipse first, the rest nowhere" The
great white-legged chestnut distanced
his field and O'Kelly won his bet. No
such wager is possible now in running
races, as they are all single dashes and
distance is waived.

THE growth of running races in Amer
lea is best shown by the fact that Vol.
of the American Stud Book, which ex-
tended from the foundation Of the Amer
ican republic up to 1869, contained 284l
mares. while Vol. =, just issued from the
press, contains 6955 mares and their
produce. From these mares in 1898 were
reported 1908 colts and 1921 fillie5, total
of 1924 foals; 1908 mares produce not
being reported at all. There were 1850
mares barren and 281 slipped their foals,
while 276 mares were not bred in 1892
and 6l7 mares died in that year, In
1850 there were not 900 thoroughbred
nares-properly vouched for as auch--in
the whole of the United States. Aus
tralis, with about one-twentieth OF our
white population. had 1904 thorough
bred mares in 1890 and the publ isher Of

the fact that the storing of water upon
some large and liberal plan, for use on
the potentially rich, but still waste,
tracts OF land situated to the south ol
Tehachapi, has been too much neg.
iected. This damaging circumstance
must be charged up to lack Of enter
prise, or of simple providence in our
people.
The number OF acres in Merced county
that the Chicago syndicate have bought
is $4,000, and the irrigating works iu-
cluded in the purchase are among the
best on the coast. These lands are not
all in one body but were selected in dif-
ferent bodies, and an interest is also in
cluded in Merced town. The amount Of
money paid for the whole was about
$1,000, 900. 1t is the company's inten-
tion to put all these lands at once upon
the market, and Mr.. Hatch, the presi-
dent, predicts that all will be sold out
and under cultivation inside of five years.

this move q sure pointer directing them

SPEAKING OF Wills and bequests, the
other day, an eastern exchange said
that English women were especially
stingy and never left anything to char
liable institutions. This certainly is
an egregious mistake. Miss Catherine
Hayes, the famous cantatrice, left to
the city of Sydney. N. s. W., piece of
property, for which she paid $4,000. to
be used for hospital purposes. The
city has grown all about it and the be-
quest has so increased in value that the
hospital is now over four miles re-
moved from it's original location. and
the trustees have never been able to
spend its entire revenue. Madame

children at the time OF her death. Mrs.

archbishop of Dublin, after leaving her
paintings and jewels to her personal
friend, Lady Norbury, as we'll as about

Mrs. G.. Lombard de Luce of London
left an estate OF 100000, which was di.
vided according to the terms OF her will

gent children and q boys industrial
school and dornitory. Miss Couthard,
of Manchester, by the terms Of her will
left ESQ annuity to be expended on good
clothing and blankets for the poor OF the
city every year at Christmas. A Mrs.
Landers, of London, died not long since
in that city, leaving e500 to each OF her
four servants, $4,000 to each OF four hos
pitfalls, e400 each to five children's
homes, and $4,000 to one of the London
lying-in hospitals. In our own country
Lotta and Emma Abbott have been very

in which James Lick's bequeSts have
been consumed in salaries to the trus-
tees OF his es tate, one only wonders that
any man or woman ever devised any
money by will, even to the most deserv-
