A NEW PATENT LIFE pREsERvER

All silk will not ''stand alone. and

sleeves made OF the Rauziest fabrics dis

The puffs ars inflated by the wearer

WHAT THEY WERE HERB FOR

The San Francisco Chronicle says that
Charles F. Crocker and H. E. Hunting
ton, upon their return from Los Angeles
and vicinity, announced that as direct
result of the trip the Southern Pacific
would adopt petroleum for fuel on all its
locom otives, steamers ahd stationary en-
gines, and Will close down or sell all its
valuable coal mines in British Colum bi a
and Washington. 1t is sail orders ,have
already been issued to the mechanical de-
partments to enter at once into arrange
ments to equip the coal engines with oil
burners. 1t is claimed that the annual
saving effected by such change will
pass tho million dollar mark.
If large portion OF our citizens have
lacked faith in the value to Los Angeles
of our oil industry. this should assure the
doubling ones that there 10 somethin &
more than "gush" to our oil talk. The
Chronicle says:
Unless Colonel Crocker is mistaken in
his calculations, and Oh the information
he gathered ON his recent Tip, three bar
rels of oil will 90 the work of one ton Of
COAL and as oil can be obtained in unlim-
tied quantities for 40 cents q barrel, the
cost OF the power obtained from the con-
sumption of one ton of coal on the Pacific
division can be reduced from $4.S2 to
$l.20. In other words, the cost of fuel
on the Pacific system can be reduced
from So. 446, 623. So to 1852, 155 so year, a
saving of 81. 5S4. 1872.
There need he no boom literature witt
ten over snch things as these. Facts are
what tell in the end, and this instance
only goes to prove that not one-haif has
ever been told of the magnificent things
of Southern California.

1T Is FOR THE BETTER

The sale of the electric railway yester-
day, whatever may BIZ Its effects on indi-
viduals, cannot fail to be of great benefit
to the city. The Herald can state author
itatively that the company now having
control of the line will spend in this city
$780, 900 before the first of January next.
The bulk of this money will be expended
for labor. The cable lines will be cleo
tricized, new and comfortable cars will
replace the wretcted affairs now used on
these roads. and the entire system made
up 10 date in all points.
These improvements have been prom
ised many times, but some form of litiga-
tion has always prevented their consum-
nation. 1t appears. however. now a GER
tainty that the war between the conflict
ing interests is over. and prosperity ought
to follow the advent of wnite winged

The Bank Note bOyc0tt

Regarding the late manifesto COM
manding the Knights Of Labor to decline
to accept national hank notes, Brad
streets makes the following very sensible
remarks:
According to the statement of Mr.. Sow
ereign, this decree is obligatory on the
IN EN- bers of the order, and is expected to
be enforced by all sympathetic orders.
AS to the effect of the boycott. it is tue
that national bank notes, as between in
dividuals. are not legal tender. and can
be refused, If offered by one individual to
another. without inpairing the validity
OF the debt. At the same time, in case
a national bank note should be declined
by a creditor, the debtor has only to pre-
sent 1t to the treasury for redemption.
when legal tender will be issued, which
the creditor will be obliged to accsLt.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the boycott
of the national bank note can only have
a temporary effect. All it will do will be
to cause the government to issue legal
tender notes OF coin in the place of ma
tional bank notes in the first instance.
When this comes to be understood it is
pIoba BILE that We will hear less about the
boycott. 1t is hardly likely, moreover.
that men receiving wages will take the
absurd and profitless step suggested, SIM
ply tor the sake OF annoying their em-
ployers. or that creditors will harrass
debtors gratuitously, for that is all that
the movement will amount to when all is
done that can be accom- plished by it.

TO FIESTA OR NOT TO FIESTA

The announcer m ent that the Merchants
association meditated selling the lumbe
which was used in constructing the grand
stand, or 'tribuaes," around Central
park for la fiesta last April has o.
casioned considerable comment on the
part of some citizens who feel an interest
IN the matter. Who does that lum ber
belong to? If to the Merchants associa-
ton, when did it buy lt2 If not what
right have they to sell t2 What do they
want to sell it for. wnen they will have
to buy more for the same purpose next
year2
These are some of the questions that
ars being asked. and other questions fol-
low. For instance: Is there going to be
a fiesta next year? If not, why not7 II
so, who is to manage it? If the Mer-
chants association, why don't they ap-
point director general? If that body Of
gentlemen are not going to direct the
fete. why don they say SO and leave the
field free that another body of men may
undertake the somewhat arduous task
that it is going to be to break themselves
in first and run the SHOW afterwards?
The Merchants association have proven
themselves so efficient and reliable as
managers OF the fiesta in the past that
when, few weeks ago. inquiry was made
through the mails regarding the popular
sentiment as to who should direct the
one next year. the replies were almost
unanimous in favor of the Merchants as.
socIation. Since that time not word
has been heard from them; nor so far as
is known, has move been made until
suddenly. this past week, they start
into active life, have meeting and de-
eide to sell the lumber that is all ready to
put up next spring. at u cost not to ex-
ceed probably $500, for the purpose it was
used last. If that lum Der cost $4,000, and
the seats brought in $500 during the
fete, as is claimed. is it good business
policy to sell it at a great sacrifice, fer
the sake of applying the same to the
deficit from the last fiesta? That deficit
is only $500; and there is Santa Cruz
who came out OF her Venetian carnival
with deficit of $23, 900 only a few weeks
ago, and it is all paid but $4,000 already.
If that lumber is sold by the Merch-
ants association and few other depreda-

THE MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION

A meeting of thesmanufacturers OF Los
Angeles county has been called at the
cham Der OF commerce tor Wednesday OF
this week. for the purpose of organizing
a loca, association to affiliate with the
National Association of Manufacturers OF
the United States, organized at Cincin-
natl last January. The objects of the ma.
tional association are to obtain the ad-
vantages of united action for the protec-
tion and promotion of the interests of
American manufacturers. both at home
and abroad, reciprocal trade relations be-
tween the United States and foreign
countries. the development of our inland
and maritime commerce and the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal. An
intelligent and equitable adjustment of
manufacturing interests at home and
abroad is q great dssideratum, and it
would seem chat this could better be OBJ
tained by national organization of our
manufacturers than through haphazard,
unoTganized effort.
To California the construction OF the
Nicaragua canal means inItead of being
farther from the markets OF the world
than any section of the globe. being right
at the gateway of the commerce OF the
Pacific ocean, which will then be con-
trolled by the United States. By the
cape it is IA, 500 miles from New York to
San Francisco; by way OF the proposed
Nicaragua canal it is 4,500-a saving OF
10, 900 miles.
We are nearest to Japan, with her popu-
lation Of 40,000,000 people in touch with
our present civilization, and nearest to
China, with her population OF 250.-
900. 900 people. whose ports, as an event
of the late war with Japan, have been
opened up to the thrift, enterprise
and markets of the world.
The cheap fuel at Los Angeles in what
seems to be inexhaustible oil fields. will.
we predict, soon result in establishing
large manufacturing enterprises here,
and elsew where on the coast.
Let the manufacturers organize and not
only promote the objects of their ma
tional organization. but promote our To-
cal interests as we'll.
By organizing and joining the national
organization, our manufacturers will be
in better position to present in an au-
thentic way the needs of this section,
also its advantages. Our manufacturers
will then be in touch with the doings OF
those in other parts OF the country and
much good may como of the information
thus gained. Capital in all sections of
the country is ever OIL the outlook for op-
portunities to reinvest. and our manu-
facturers will fail in their mission in life
as Californiuns if they do not use every
effort to present the advantages of Los
Angeles.
Undoubtedly the manufacturers will
decide next Wednesday to organize. and
in this matter they should receive the
of the people OF Los Angeles county.
