THE CHAMBER OF COnnERcE

Last evening those of our fellow citl-
zens enrolled upon the membership list of
the chamber OF commerce gathered around
substantially spread tables and enjoyed a
feast of reason and flow of SOUL" in
addition to the other things more inter-
esting to the practical interior of the
common man. The custom that this most
public-s spirited and useful organization
has adopted of once year ralying itself
about the banquet board and permitting
its members to felicitate themselves an ID
each other upon the successes OF the year
gone while they toast to the victories of
the twelvemonth to come, is both happy
and wise. 1t is to be hoped that it will
cease only with the life of the cham ber.
This association has been IN the real
sense representative. Almost every kind
of occupation and degree of respectable
society finds place in its membership
book 1t has been one OF the signal sue
cesses of this remarkably success full city,
and demonstrates the cohesive power of
a common object in the maintenance Of
an organization containing nearly thou
sand men OF widely differing views re-
garding every subject but one. the good
of Southern California. No other single
organization has done so much in twice
the time to promote the prosperity of this
section of the state, and it should in its
work receive the hearty cooperation and
financial assistance of every person inter-
ested IN our progress. The work of its
literary bureau has passed far beyond the
limits of the United States and become
international in character. Through the
reliable and attractive literature it has
freely, but at the same time iudiciou sly
distributed the resources and advantages
that Southern California holds have been
advertised from end to end of the world,
and the interest of people almost totally
ignorant of California before has been
awakened regarding the Golden State. and
particularly this end of it. The valuable
and com prehensive exhibit of the pro-
ducts of the southern tier of counties that
it has SO splendidly maintained has
afforded object lessons in the diversity
and greatness of our productions that
have converted hundreds of doubling and
cynical tendcrfeet into enthusiastic Cali
fornians. An institution so prolific of
good results for its city and its state de-
serves to prosper and wax great with the
future. May its shadow never grow less.

\ DEEP, DARK MYSTERY
That Isn't Very Much of a Mystery
After All
The Young Woman Who Tried to Jump From
the Third Story of the WooIIncott
Block Yesterday

Passers by near the Woollacott block. on
South Spring street yesterday. were rude
ly startled at about l O'Clock at hearing a
number of wild shrieks from the upper
story of that building and to see young
woman struggling at the window to es-
cape from the grasp of an older woman in
order to throw herself down upon the
pavement to certain death.
At once great crowd gathered and as
her cries of Help! Murder! Save me, "
etc., filled the air Officer William Matusz-
kiewiz ran up from Third street and
headed dozen men in rush to the res
cue. When they reached the room the
officer relieved the exhausted woman and
by a great exertlon tore the younger
from her dangerous position.
The women at first refused to talk, but
later it was developed that the girls name
is Miss Ellen Ryan. that she is subject to
hysteria and of late, temporary insanity.
Her sister, Miss Bessie Ryan, who is
nursing her. worked with her as q wait
ress in nearby restauraunt. They are
lately from Iowa.
DR.. Nadeau, who is attending the girl,
explained her condition 'ully. Her hys-
terra is said to be the result of her fear OF
certain down town dry goods clerk
whom she accuses of pursuing her con-
tinually with evil intentions. Her actions
of yesterday are attributed to an attack of
temporary insanity.
To Officer Matuszkiewiz she said she
was not crazy, only she worried great
deal. She begged not to be sent to any
asylum ana then asked him some ques.

editorial writer on the Times, and later
on the Herald of Chicago. With the
balance OF the Chicago press in solid op-
position, he conducted the newspaper

teman ran for mayor and was elected.
Both journalists are uncompromising ad-
vocates of free trade and sound money,
anu both are loyal to their convictions,
resigning the positions they held when
the papers they had been identified with
became the exponents of ideas they could
not conscientiously advocate. A daily

THE LOST HORSE NINE

G.. W. Lang, owner of the Lost Horse

The district in which this gentleman s

properties being five miles. The district
is about thirty miles north of Indio.

THE VALUE OF OUR CREDIT

An encouraging indication of renewed
confidence in American securities is
found in the increased buying abroad of
railway and municipal bonds. In the
last month number of exceptional deals
have been consummated. One of the
largest was the sale of SIC, 900, 900 of Man
haitian Elevated per cent bonds. An
other was the sale of So, 500. O)0 New York
Central bonds Two million of Ches-
apeake and Ohio Az per cent bonds have
Just been placed in London, along with
$1,000, 600 more Of 5 per cents, issued by
southern railroads. In addition to these,
Minneapolis and ST. Louis and New York
City 3 per cents have been freely placed.
These cases are merely representative
and OF course do not comprise the list of
the last month sales abroad. but they
evid ence revival of faith in our secur.
tiles that could hardly be expected SO
soon after the financial reverses we have
experienced and the epidemic of railroad
receivershirs that seemed so rampant for
a while. 1t betokens a continuance of
trust in the honesty and good sense of
the American people that We should ex
hibit our appreciation of by honorably
and intelligently managing our great en-
terprses and the public finances. Our
credit abroad cannot be too zeal ously
guarded. Comparatively speaking this
is yet young country. 1t is really but d
little advanced in its era of construction
and development. All countries that are
building need capital and of necessity
they mi ust resort to those nations that
have grown old in the work of accom-
plishment and have garnered the results
of centuries of industry. Capital must
be looked for and is to be had easiest and
cheapest where it has accumulated long
est. Many hundreds of years are to
elapse before we shall become greater as a
lending than as borrwoing nation. and
the most ordinary considerations of
policy, independent of those OF morality,
suggest the absolute necessity of main
| tanning an unquestionable integrity be-
fore present or prospective foreign credi-
tors. The economy and expediency with
which we may obtain the wealth that is
to assist us in the production of more
wealth will most materially affect the
conditions Of our progress. and depend
! on the standing we shall preserve with
! those who have the capital to advance.

honest effort toward using past failings
as warnings and safeguards, inducing
better living in time to come.
Zach passing year is sure to have
brought its trials, its griefs and disap.
pointments to many hearts; so the dis
couraged, signing retrospective view is
not the wise, healthful way of regard,
ing matters.
Take the second and better way of
looking at the past. Ask the old year
what the entire record has been. Re-
view the bright things, the kind words
you tried to speak, the visitations made
in homes of sorrow, the various little
deeds of charity willingly performed.
Over against some sins of omission,
set n bit of work done here and there
for the benefit of those needing your
help. There need be no over self-grat-
ulation in doing this. One good deed
helps on another, and self-encouragc-
1nent is often sorely needed. Alone with
memory there need be no reluctance to
do ones self justice on the good, the
winning side of life's complicated re-
quirements. If there have been DAYS
OF sharp sorrow to contemplate, remem.
Der the helps kindly sent, the sustain.
ing promises of Scripture, the tender
mlnistrations of friends, and, above all,
the sure hope of Heaven.
Take all consolation possible along
the entire line. Make retrospectioD
something to strengthen hope and to
stimulate courage. The whole scene il

is reached, the tired feet and wearv

And the big whales snort glad salute.
