BATTLE OF THE STANDARDS

able IS to use it more in the arts and
trades. There is no reason why silver

The popular craze just now is to hold

ing how many men there are who have

has found the section of Gods country

At Chino there have been many in
stances of ranchers who came there with
scarcely any capital and rented land which
they are today the owners of. and all
made from sugar beets There are other
instances of men who have cleared in one

These examples may be the exception, but
1t can be put down as the invariable rule

THE HENLEY RACE

The Henley race fiasco yesterday is
to be deplored by all Americans. 1t is
to be judged from the nature of the dis.
patches this morning that our crew regret
the outcome OF the affair as much as any,
one. Under the circumstances the race
was no contest, and therefore can hardly
be styled race. Just who was to blame
in the matter Is hard to decide at this
time. The Cornell crew were placed in a
very awkward position. While they were
conscious that they were doing what any
sporting man would style an Unfair
tbing.yet they we're supposed to be under
the control of tho umpire. The umpire
gave the word Go, and followed the
Cornell crew and furthermore more than
once signaled the crew to continue. Mr..
Umpire will have to do some heavy ex-
planning before he can satisfy the angry
Englishnen and the disappointed Amer
leans. A baseball audience in America
would have hooted such an umpire off
the grounds.
In justice to the English, even. and to
satisfy all Americans who take an inter-
est in sports, the race should be rowed
over again.

THE SMALL FARMER

PRINCESS CORONA
O0000O0,0O00000S0OO0O00

Herewith is a faithful likeness of the
Indian princess Corona. who. some sixty
years ago. entered the employ OF Senior
Don Manuel Dominguez then sole pro-
prietor of the lordly estate of 10000 acres
known as the Rancho San Pedro. Re-
port says that sh, was the only child Of
an Indian chieftain of the San Gabriel
tribe. Be that as it may, her first recoi.
lection OF life and the white man was
when at an early age she was taken to
the old mission San Gabriel to serve
the holy friars. She still insists that she
was nun, and as history says that the
unmarried women and girls we're kept as
nuns, under the supervision OF an abb
bess," she is probably correct.
AT present Princess Corona must be at
least 10 or 1i5 years old, perhaps older
as she states that she was "a large girl'
when the lower half Of the old stone mis-
sion was being constructed. and that was
commenced in 1916 and finished in 1897.
Her recollections of the old mission IA
thers are very vivid. Among the Indians
they were looked upon as gods. until the
misdoings of their escorts Of soldiers
convinced them they were as mortal as
During the sixty years that the prin-
cess has lived on the Rancho San Pedro
she has never left its boundaries. The
electric lights OF Los Angeles and the
search light on Echo mountain. all of
which are plainly seen at the rancho, are
to her unfathomable mysteries. and the
railroad trains that pass within short
distance of her door she still devoutly be-
lieves to be inventions of the devil. A re-
markable fact is that her eyesight re-
mains perfect. She can thread a needle
and sew without glasses as cleveily as
when young girl. though her principal
occupation is sitting in the sun. feeding
her chickens and eating-at the last men,
toned she can beat any employee on the
rancho.

a Gauzy Scoop

Editor Herald 1T seems you have been
..scooped" on very impor tant item Of
news printed Exclusively in the Times
of Sunday morning. The article says that
over 100 men and teams have been at
work laying railroad track under the
Harris franchise on Macy street. that the
real object and destiny OF the road form
the subject OF much speculative gossip;
that over a mile of extra heavy rails have
been laid, and some people think trans
continental line is Lehind the work.
1t is almost needless to say there. is no
truth in the absurd yarn. Not loot OF
track has been laid on Macy street. and
nobody named Harris has franchise to
lay rails on Macy or airy other street in
this city.
A track. however. is being put down on
North eiain street, following the route
of the old Kuhrts street line. under the
franchise granted to W. d. Larrabee, and
this probably misled the painstaking and
