CHATSWORTH PARK,
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CAL,


Twenty-Five miles north west OF the city
OF Los Angeles, at the foot OF the Santa
Susana mountains, overlooking the most
fertile valley in Southern California. is
Chatsworth Park.
1t is surrounded by rolling hills, beaut-
iful groves Of live and white oaks, pictur-
esque canyons in which are large reser-
voirs or lakes, all 60 to make this one OF
the most desirable places in this land OF
sunshine.
The elevation of ChatJworth Park is
about 1000 feet above sea level. Toe air
IS dry and there are no cold nights. The
breeze loses Its harshness in coming over
the range OF hills lying between
Chatsworth Park and the ocean, and yet
the Pacific is only some Is miles away.
No fogs trouble this section. The climate
cannot be surpassed, while few places
equal it in scenery.
Chatsworth Park comprises some 5000
acres of the finest of soil, adapted to the
growing OF all varieties OF fruits and win
ter vegetables. The orange, lemon, april
cot. prlne, peach and olive grown to per-
fection in this valley. while straw berries
ripen every month of the year.
Already there has been planted about
300 acres OF oranges and lemons, besides
will be set out this coming spring. The
water supply'is more than ample for this
tract, being stored in immense reservoirs.
Nearly 500, 600 has been expended on the
water system and Improvements are still
going on.
The soil is deep sandy loan. free from
rocks and stones, and all ready for the
plow without any cleaning. A fine school
house has been built on the tract with
ample accommodations for all present
purposes. Church services are held at
present IN the school house, but arrange
ments are being made to build in the
near future church edifice.
good railroad runs into the tract, land
to those who purchase now the promise
OF large returns OH the investment is
more than flattering. The price OF these
lands with water has been put at $50 per
acre. a price so low as to enable those of
moderate means to make themselves home
for a small outlay. We want a desirable
class of settlcrs-people who will build
homes. improve tho soil, and thereby en-.
hance the value Of the balance of the
property. After 200 families are located
the price of these lands will be advanced
to 5000 per acre.
To those who are looking for fine land
with an abundance of water, in a most
desirable location, within easy distance
of Los Angeles and the ocean, and at
prices and terms which put it within the
reach OF all we say como and see us; let
us show you this property and you will
say that tho half has not been told.

A NEW BIT OF HISTORY.
Gortchakof Knew Every Word That Min
lister Curtin Said to Napoleon I'LL

Gortchakof Knew Every Word That Min
lister Curtin Said to Napoleon III.
An Austrian military officer who has
held important posts in Europe, but is
now n resident of this city, told a reporter
recently story illustrative of the effect
iveness Of the Russian secret police. The
anecdote, which is of sufficient importance
to deserve place in history, is, according
TO the narrator, true of his own personal
knowledge and likewise has never been
published before.
''In the year 1s71," said the officer taft
er the downfall of Napoleon III, Mr. Cur
tin, the United States ambassador Especial
envoy to st. Petersburg, visited London,
and received while there an invitation to
visit the dethroned French emperor, who
resided then in Chiselhurst. Accepting
the invitation, Mr.. Curtin was long time
alone with Napoleon, quietly entering into
q political discussion with him.
You are very intimate with Prince
Gortchakof' (the Russian chancellor),
said Napoleon. Have you any objection
to telling me his real sentiments concern
ing tho restoration Of the French imperial
throne?
"'I certainly know Prince Gortcha-
kof's ideas upon the subject, replied Mr..
Curtlu, pub 1 III nOU ab lrD6rty TO nenVlOn
them
"'I understand your position perfectly
said the emperor, and am very much
obliged to you
"Prince Gortchakof's opinion, which
Mr.. Curtin declined to communicate to
Napoleon, had been very strongly ex-
pressed. Gortchakof had been saying that
he never would help this French ras-
cal to restore his throne because he knew
him as a man to be extremely dangerous
for tho peace of Europe.
"When Mr. Curtin returned to St. Pc
tersburg, the chancellor invite him to din
ner. You have been traveling?' asked the
prince.
's."' Yes;s was in London
=" You met many friends thereY
"'I saw some prominent American
friends --rl
:" 4 am informed, continued the prince,
that you also saw the ex-emperor of
France And, smiling, he added, I know
all particulars of your interview with Ma
poleon and am very much obliged to you
indeed for not giving him my real opinion
about the restoration of his throne
"Mr. Curtin was struck by these words.
Nobody had been present during his con-
yersation with Napoleon, and yet the agent
of the Russian political secret service had
reported it, word for word, to St. Peters,
burg. New York Press.

Telephoning to the Moon.

Both Edison in America and Preece in
England have long maintained that it is
possible to establish on the earth a record
of the electrical disturbances that take
place on the sun. An electrician now
holds that it is easily feasible to telephone
to the moon. He bases his belief in the
possibility of this communication on the
well known laws of ether vibration. The
ocean of ether quivers to every touch 1t
binds the planets together with an iron
hand, flexible yet firm, solid yet infinitely
elastic. 1t is the ideal medium for the
transmission Of signals. When it moves,
even to an extent inconceivably small, our
sight is affected; we see. These ether
waves are eight minutes coming to us from
the sun, travelling at the enormous velocity
of 192, 900 miles second. 1t is possible
to produce waves moving at this terrific
speed by electrical means, as, for instance
in the telephone, which is actuated by in
fnitely small pulsations.
When an iron mass is in the vicinity of
these electrical vibrations, buzz or hum
is given out. This noise may be distinctly
heard in some systems of street lighting
apparatus, where the current is trans
formed from high to low pressure. In
accordance with this principle it is pro-
posed to send electrical pulsations far out
into the ether and have them act upon any
metallic mass like iren with sufficient
force to produce sound, If the moon con-
tains iron, and there is reason to believe
that 1t does, the striking upon it of these
marvellous vibrations would give rise to
murmur of sound. 1t is suggested that
this daring experiment could be carried
out by means of gigantic coil mounted
vertically with its axis in line with the
moon.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Inconveniently Popular.

At one time the Duke of Wellington's
extreme popularity was rather embarrass-
ing. For instance, on leaving home each
day he was always intercepted by an af-
fectionate mob, who insisted on hoisting
him on their shoulders and asking where
they should carry him. 1t was not always
convenient for him to say whore he was
going, so he used to say, Garry me home,
carry me home" and so he used TO be

better known, and everyone is talking

10 those who give the matter a little
attention. it must be apparent that the
new coast line of the Southern Pacific
railroad passing along tho coast and
through San Louis Obispo county will be,
as it is intended. the favorte route for
travel between Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco.
By this route. an estimated saving of
eight hours will be made in the time re-
quired for travelling between the two
cities. FL Moro on the coast, ten miles
west Of San Luis Obispo city, is only six
mics from tnc nearest point OF the new
line, and there can be no doubt that at
an early date a branch road will connect
this charming seaport with the Southern
Pacific system.
The county of San Luis Obispo. by be-
ing so much more accessible than before,
will receive an extraordinary impetus.
and the value of all real estate will be
very much enhanced, as soon as the rail
road is opened. FL Moro will share in this
prosperity. and will pro ~ good place for
