MEAT INDUSTRY.
A Pleasant Dissertation About Tender
Spring Lamb.

A Pleasant Dissertation About Tender
Spring Lamb.
Southern California is noted for one
thing in particular aside from its horti-
cultural and agricultural reputation and
it's climate. 1t is therefore with pride
that the HERALD calls attention to the
fact that nowhere on this continent are
to be found grades Of meat of finer fiber
and texture than that raised in the vi
cinity of Los Angeles.
Tourists look upon what eastern peo-
pie call spring lamb at Christmastide as
curiosity which, in Los Angeles, is
found ON the tables of every frst-class
hostelry and which can now be found in
the leading hotels of the east through
the enterprise of our leading wholesale
and retail dealer in meats, the popular
Simon Maier.
This is a specially that Mr.. Msier Is
Justly proud of inasmuch as he has
through years of persistent efforts ct lest
succeeded in bringing this branch of his
business to such perfection that he is
enabled to furnish the eastern trade with
the tender and suceulent lamb during
the months that it is out of season in
their localities. Through the kindness
of the bookkeeper, Emil Kirchner. and
Cashier Eugene Robin, q HERALD re-
porter was given an insight into the ex-
tent OF Mr.. Maier's business.
The slaughter houses are on the Al
hambra road, near the Five-Mile house,
where force of about 25 men are con-
stantly employed, and it requires about
25 wagons to do their transporting.
There are about 25 men employed con-
stantly at the market, 149 to 1853 South
Spring strset, where it requires force
of 25 men to wait upon the immense
Wholesale and retail trade, and clerical
force OF five men i5 required in the
Office to look after the books. Mr.. Maier
gives the business his personal super
vision, aided by his efficient foreman,
Edward Rothe. The latter gentleman
takes great pride in the excellence of
OF the meat display of the market, and
as a decorator ia considerable OF an
artist. This ia no very easy task, as 1t
may be borne in mind that it requires
between 1000 and 5000 head OF beef, NUT
ton and hogs monthly to supply Mr..
Maier's trade, whose place OF business
is known to all Angelefioe as The Central
Market.
The buying Of Mr.. Msier's stock is
supervised by W. r. Patterson, who is
a thorough Judge, and if there is a blem-
ish on an animal afoot he will detect it,
and reject it from the band that he pur-
chasee. There are times, however,
when cattle become bruised in transit,
and this the foreman of the slaughter
house, James NJ. Miller's eagle eye de-
tects at once and places the meat in the
rejected class, as Mr.. Maier will only

THE NEW TURN VEREIN.
AN ELEGANT STRUCTURE DE-
VOTED TO SOCIAL PURPOSES !,
And Physical Development-A Glance at
the History of This Most Prosper
GUS Organization-Its Mar
velous Growth. asa a+

Another one of Los Angeles beauti-
full buildings now in courss Of construc-
ton, in fact is rapidly nearing compile
tion. is the Turner Hall, located on the
west side of Main street, between Third
and Fourth.
A brief sketch of the development of
German life originally founded by the
German pioneers OF Los Angeles, will
not be out of place. The first German
ass ociation was founded in 1859. in the
old Rou nd house, which stood ON the
very place where the new hall is going
up. The association was called Teutonia
and its purpose was to further social in
tercourse In general and the
German song In particular. In
1879 two associations were formed,
the one called the Los Angeles Turn
verein and which became the pioneer Of
the first Turner's association. The
other was named Concordia Turnverein.
So it happened that Los Angeles at that
time had three German clubs, for the
old Teutonia Singing club always con-
tinued to assemble in Henne's brewery.
That place not being desirable enough,
they united with the Concordia, and the
new combination was named Teutonia-
Concordis Turn and Singing society. In
June, 1872, the consolidation OF all the
German clubs took place and was the
beginning of the Turnverein Germania.
A German school, founded by the Turn
ers, also stood where the hew hall is
now.
In 1871 the first Turn hall was built,
and was maintained for ID years, answer
ing all purposes, until it became too
small for the wants of the association,
which caused the laying OF the corner
stone for the new hall. The member
6 hip then numbered 800.
The building has frontage OF II feet
on Main street and is 1853 feet deep. 1t
contains three stories and basement.
The front of the structure is built of
Sespe brown atone and Texas red sand
stone. The arched entrance on Main
street has artistically carved caps on
both sides. The interior of the building
contains, first, the gymnasium, occupy
ing the rear portion of the basement.
Its size is 63x92 and 26 feet.high. The
gymnasium will contain the most mod
ern apparatus obtainable. There are
also dressing rooms, toilet, shower bath,
hot and cold water, and spectators
gallery go feet long. The hall will con-
tain 10 patent ventilators.
The first story, or ground floor. con-
sists of two large storerooms, each
26x75, with large plate glass windows.
The second story contains the ball
room. 63xS6, with a large stage at the
end. The ball room will have parquet
flooring made out of maple and walnut,
the only floor OF its kind in the city. Ad-
joining the bali room is banquet hall,
26x60, also containing parquet flooring,
ladies' and gentlemen parlor, ward
robes, barroom and toilets. A spacious
kitchen adjoins the banquet room. All
rooms on this floor are connected With

A iiocky .isount..:,f.1unne

A notable engineering feat was ac-
complished recently in the completion of
the boring Of the Busk-Ivanhoe railway
tunnel under the continental divide of
the Rocky mountains at Hagerman pass,
Colorado. The tunnel is almost two miles
long-9,S05 feet-and is through solid
gray granite 1t took years and 20
days, of 20 hours work each day, to bore
the big hole. 1t is 10000 feet above sea
level through the top ridge of the conti-
nent. The water draining from the one
side Of the mountain under which it Is
driven runs to tho Atlantic ocean, and
from the other to the Pacific Its con-
struction has cost $l,000,000 and 90 hu-
man lives. The tunnel, which is on the
line of the Colorado Midland railway,
the Santa Fes central route to Califor-
mia, substitutes two miles of track for
ten and does away with one of the most
expensive rail.-ay climbs in the world.

for its orange and lemon groves, its de-
