She Leaves the american Ship ST.

New York. Sept. 21.-The Cunard line
people are happy over the performance of
their fleet liner, stbe Campania, which
arrived Eere yesterday afternoon, having
passed the Ametican lines new ship, the
st. Louis.
The vessels remained In sight of each
other for nearly day in mid-Atiantic.
The officers of the Cunarder first sighted
the American boat ON the afternoon Of
September IT. 1t was about 8 O'Clock in
the afternoon, and the st. Louis was twenty
knots ahead and about six miles to the
southward, on the port bow, when her
smoke was discovered.
The Campania's officers described with
great glee how the Cunard flyer crept up
to the American boat. At 10 p. m. they said
she was abeam and at IL was astern,
and by O'Clock a. IN. she was out of sight.
The Campania was making 21.75 knots
an hour. The passengers were greatly in
terested in the race between the big vessels,
and many a patriotic American aboard the
Cunarder heaved a sigh of disappointment
when they saw the American ship disap-
pearing on the horizon astern.

Men Who Sell the Earth and
How They Sell 1t
POWER OF PRINTERS INK
Developments in Various Parts OF the
City and Country
Public Improvements Potent Factor In
Raising Property vaIues-Somc
Recent Sales.

While the current week has witnessed
no phenomenal movement in real estate
it will nevertheless go on record as hav-
ing borne fairly satisfactory results to the
men who sell the earth. Activity has
principally been confined to city property,
although several good sales of country
realty are reported.
Pasadena and Pomona are the towns
that figure most prominently in the subur-
ban real estate transfers. San Pedro,
Santa Monica, Long Beach and Monrovia
also report some sales, while quite nice
movement seems to have developed at
Azusa. \ good many men of wealth and
enterprise own property at the latter
place, and the little foothill town prom
ises to become one of the most prosper
GUS places in the San Gabriel valley.
Property along the new electric line to
Pasadena is picking up. Garvanza and
Highland Park are enjoying quite nice
little boom in consequence of the i'm
proved transportation facilities. Pasadena
itself is feeling the benefit of electric
car service for the first time. The old
Fair Oaks avenue horse-car line has been
electricized and cars began making reg
ular half-hourly trips from Colum bia
street NORTH Wednesday morning. The
terminus of the line at present is Wash
ington Heights, but connection will soon
be made with the Mt. Lowe electric road
at Altadena. Then when the gap is filled
between Garvanza and South Pasadena, a
continuous electric route will be in opera
ton between Los Angeles and Rubio
Canyon. Property along the electric line,
all the way from Los Angeles to the
mountains is already feeling the stimulus
consequent upon improved transportation
facilities.
