are not of the tempting order. Its skirts
are wide and full, it's sleeves distended and
fully slashed and the waists much whale

HIS CABLE CAR PASS CANCELLED

Ponto is dead and several young hearts,
and at least one older one, are the sad
der. He died quietly and peacefully a
few days ago and his obsequias were more
attend the intsrment of dog. For Ponto
was great. big. shaggy Newfoundland
who loved to play with children, was gen.
tie with them and responded alike to
caresses and blows with a flendly wag of
his tail. He was faithful and forsiving
which after death drew the following
lines from Byron:
70 mark a friends remains, these stones
1prise,
I never knew bnt one, and here he lies.
IN one respect Ponto was the most Ie-
''bayed the moon" or lodged the dog
catcher in Kansas City. He was the
owner of a street car pass which entitled
him to bid defiance to The boots of all
conductors and to ride at will all over
the city on the Metropolitan cable oars.
which infest this city Ponto alone enjoy.
cd this distinction, which might well
make him the envy of many mortals. 1t
is doubtful il any other dog in the world
was similarly honored. And he was
modest withal and did not air it over
other less fortunate dogs.
How Ponto came to possess q pass was
like this: One day two years ago his
master boarded car and Ponto followed
him. The conductor dsmurred and in.
sisted it was.against the rules of the
company to transport dogs. He refused
to even accept fare for the dog anu ruth
iessiy thrust him from the car. The mas
ter loved the dog as much as the poor
brute loved him and he also left the car.
He was an intimate friend of General
Manager r. J. McCayty of the Metropoli-
tan street railway and to him he went
forthwith and stated the harsh treatment
the dog had received from the cond uctor.
II will fix that, said MIR. McCsrty and
he wrote pass instructing That Ponto
should be passed on al l trains on the
Metropolitan street railway system. Ever
since that time Ponto has ridden on cable
cars with his master. When q conductor
came around the master paid his own
fare and resented the pass for the dog.
Ponto was also a trained courier and
at the bidding of his master would start
for home with an article in his mouth
from any part of the city. He seemed to
know he was entitled to ride on the cable
cars and has frequently jumped on one
OF them even when not in the company
of his master. Many OF the conductors
knew the dog and his right to ride was
recognized.
POnto was ownd by i. L. Farnsworth.
the bridge engineer, who lives at 1928
Broadway. About ten days ago Ponto
became sick. He sank slowly until We'd

Many think that the land they are
coming to settle on Is yet in the innocu-
Gus desuetude that was characteristic
par: of California ten years ago. To those
that have these ideas there can be no
proof given that would convince them OF
the wonderful changes that have taken
place in the scenery of California in the
last ten years. Where there was waste
and desert there are now the most beauti-
full villages and towns all surrounded by
the richest farming country that can be
imagined. All this is due to the ire
mendous system OF irrigation that ex-
tends all over the entire country. THIS
same system of watering the earth has of
itself caused a greater advance in the
price of property than any other anglo
cause. With the aid Of water such possi..
bilities have been developed in the soil
as the mort sanguine had never Dreamed
of. in the face Of such advantages there
can be but little real criticism on the al
legged inflated values OF the prices of land
in Southern California. ~
In the city OF Los Angeles itself tnere
has been swonderful increase In the
value of the price Of land. The business
section is so rapidly extending that the
former residence property is now being
taken up and turned into choice business
lots. and the price OF the property 10 in
creasing at remarkable rate. The pres.
emit building boom is largely responsible
for this increase in value. the city Of Los
Angeles at present being the center OF
building operations that are actually
sreater than those Of the city of Chicago.
City property that year ago was excellent
for residence purposes Dut of no value
otherwise is now being eagerly sought
after for the purpose of erecting on the
former lot an elegant business block.
But to settlers the attractions of the out
side country are the most solid and en-
during. If there is country that is able
to support city, to the average mind
there is bound to be city that is worth
the visiting. And back of Los Angeles
there is country that has no equal on
the face of the globe.
