THE NEW WANNACK PARK
A Popular Resort Possessed of Much
Natural Beauty
Electric Lines Will Soon Be In Operation Con-
Meeting 1t With All Parts
of the City

The interesting group OF scenes shown
upon this page, and which are taken by
chance from the splendid vistas of the
Wannack park, are fairly representative of
the charms of leaf and blossom and undu-
lating scene so numerously dispersed in
that charming spot. 1t were difficult to

Under the present management Van
mack park is destined to realize develop
ment and completion along the lines of the
most perfectly equipped and managed
metropolitan resorts. At present visitors
are served with delightful luncheons at a
handsome pavilion. In the immediate fu-
ture theater will be erected upon the
grounds, and little later a perfectly ap-
pointed casino. One of the most import
ant features of the new resort will be 20
illogical garden, containing wide range
of illustrations from the animal kingdom.
The size and topography of the park
make it possible to maintain donkey tours
of considerable length, comprising all the
requisite variety of hill and mountain
climbing, together with seductive detours
in shaded glens and vine.clad hooks.
To add to the accessibility of this much
needed resort, several lines of electric cars

in course of construction, and he finds that
the work has been rushed with all possible
haste.
That a portion of the lumber could not
be obtained in this market, and was cut to
order at the mills on Puget Sound.
That the time of completion was too
short for good construction. Six months
would have been the proper time for build
ing this class of work.
Buildings constructed too rapidly, says
Strange, are sure to shrink and crack to a
certain extent. Each coat of paint or var
nlsh should have time to dry and harden
before the succeeding coat is applied.
The building superintendent states that
he has been informed by the superintend-
ent of schools that the buildings are not in
tended TO be used before February 10th.
he therefore recommends that the COM
pletion be extended to February Sth that
the contractor be notified to allow the fur
nitur9 to be set in place as soon as the va
rious buildings are in condition to re-
ceive it,
5SThat the contractor keep fires in heating
apparatus at least six days before Febru-
airy 10th.
That the building be cleaned and made
ready for use not later than February 9Th.
The above suggestions will probably be
as a whole adopted by the council at to-
morrow's session.
Superintendent of Schools Foshay said
yesterday that the rumors that the school
buildings are not being constructed accord
ing to specifications is false. He has per-
sonally visited every building and the
work upon them will in his opinion leave

which the ditch is built for any purpose in
consistent with it's use as ditch. On June
IL. 1877, a complaint for an injunction
was filed by the city against David Bur-
bank, who was then the owner of the Provi-
dencia ranch. In that case an order was
made on that day restraining the defend
ant, his agents, servants and privies from
obstructing, diverting or using any water
flowing in the river or in the ditch, or in
any way interfering with the rights of the
plaintiff thereto, until the further order of
the court. The case has not proceeded to
final judgment and the order remains I'M
revoked.
Judge Shaw then goes ON to say that
when servtude is acquired by adverse
use the disuse thereof for five years by the

son. from 1873 to 1891. Therefore, SO far
as the city had or claimed any title by pre-
scription to the ditch. it has been lost by
the non-user. In 1877 the ditch was en-
larged so as to double its capacity. There
does not appear to have been any grant of
the right to so enlarge it. The additional
space occupied by reason of this enlarge
ment is occupied without right, and to that
much thereof the city has no right or title
ut remains to consider the right to the
original ditch,' continues the Judge, and
after stating that whatever right the city
may have in this ditch must be based on
the deed of DE la Ossa to NerClugo, October
3. S45, and citing authorities and legal
points involved, the opinion concludes:

estopped from claiming both this ditch and

A Prominent Man Becomes infatuated and
Shows Himself Donkey
An attempt has been made to blackmail
a well known and rather prominent citizen
who has been gay and indiscreet, in fact,
very foolish. He became enamored of a
young lady, of eminent respectability, good
parents and many friends. The prominent
citizen allowed his infatuation to run away
away with him, and addressed some very
gushing and silly letters to her in which he
told her how much he was an admirer of
her charms and spoke in glowing terms of
the great physical beauty she possessed.
Very naturally, when the young lady re-
ceived these letters she was highly indig-
nant, but not as much so as were her two
big brothers. They were mad. They pre-
vailed on the sister to answer the letters,
fixing a place of meeting. The man
turned up, as per appointment. but instead
of his fair friend he found her brothers,
who gave him more than he counted for.
The result was that the prominent citiz en-
awoke to the fact that he was an ass. But
this was not an end of the scrape for him.
He is now besieged by private detectives,
who want to sell him the foolish letters he
wrote the young lady. The detectives
justify their conduct and claim that it is
not blackmail.

Patients Cured by DR.. Shores One Year Ago Report
No Return of Their Former Troubles
Dr. Shores Cures Have Stood the Test of Te-- Two Years
Constant Practice in Los Angeles Has Been the Means

Treatmen1 Paors Constantly Crowded With Grateful Patients

flying the Superior Skill of Dr. Shores

Ever since the location of DR.. A. J..
SHORES in Los Angeles, almost two
years ago, the suffering public has
shown by its liberal patronage its ap-
probation of his expert speciality treat
ment to a marked degree; but the past
week has been record-breaker, over
300 people having during that time
taken treatment in his office. This
gratifying condition is not the result
of a simple desire on the part of the
sick and suffering to spend money, but
is only the fruits of the Iahors of an
honest and expert specialist, whose
chief aim in life is to help and benefit
the sick. The many cures effected by
DR.. SHORES in Los Angeles and South
ern California have been his strongest
recommendation, and to them and the
honest treatment given by DIR. SHORES
is due his eminent success, and which
crowds his parlors from morning till

PERMANENT CURES

So many persons having asked Or.
SHORES the question, "When you cure
me, Doctor, will 1 stay cured?' has
prompted DE-. SHORES to answer the
question through the columns OF the
daily papers.
DR.. SHORES says "Yes," but he does
not ask the public to take his word
alone, but below will be found the
statements of patients who we're cured
by DR.. SHORES one year ago, and each
one reports that they had not in all
this time had any return of their for
mer troubles.
DR.. SHORES deals honestly with the
public, as they are the judges. DR..
SHORES tells the public he can cure
Catarrh and chronic diseases. He gives
you his word, he proves the truth of
his assertion, by each week giving tes-
timoniels from patients he has cured.
DIR. SHORES says: "My cures are
permanent" He further proves his
words by giving the public today testi-
monials Of patients who have bsen per-
manently cured.
