ANOTHER BOULEVARD ROUTE
Advantage Claimed for Manitou Ave.
nue., East Los Angeles

pursuant to call to devise a 12O-foot
boulevard route from Fremont gate en-
trance OF Elysian park to East Side
park, there to connect with the Los An
geles and Pasadena route, adopted by
the general boulevard committee. a
large number of property owners were
present at the East Side Cycle club
rooms on Wednesday evening. The
meeting organized by electing M. H.
Flint as chairman and T. J. Saunders
secretary.
The various routes were thoroughly
entered into, and after full discussion
the meeting unanimously recommended
that Manitou avenue be opened and
extended west from Chestnut street to
connect with the new boulevard, bridge
which is to cross the river at a point
near Fremont gate, and that Manitou
avenue, via Pritchard street, offered the
greatest number of advantages, and
could be built for the least possible cost.
The discussion brought out the many
merits of this route. First, it is the most
direct route between Elysian park and
the East Side park; second, it is the most
central route, and practically divides
East Los Angeles, thereby removing all
spirit of petty jealousy or envy; third
it offers the least possible grade, and. by
raising the grade a trif1e at or near
Sichel street and ering it cores
pordingly at or near DAILY street II
solves the storm water problem, which
has ruined so many of the graded streets
south of Downey avenue, costing this
city for repairs many thousands of dol
lars. Two blocks on Mozart street
alone have cost this city over fi.e thous-
and dollars The point of delivery OF
the storm water into the river would be
via Manitou avenue some fifteen feet
higher than as now via New Main
street, where the delivery is below the
river, when it rises causing the water to
back up, flooding and damaging thous-
ands of dollars worth of property in tina
vicinity. Fourth, its improvements arc
such, and the lots sufficiently deep, tina
Manitou avenue and Pritchard stree,
can be widened with less expense than
any other street in East Los Angeles
fifth, it Is one of the finest residence
streets in East Los Angeles, and has
some of the most progressive citizens
living thereon; sixth, it is entirely free
from street car tracks and railroad
cossings, which Is one of the most essen
tial qualifications desired by the general
boulevard committee.
Messrs. Flint, Mesmer, Moore and
Bonford were appointed committee tc
confer with the Northwest improvement
association to secure their corporation
and also to present the favorable claims
of the Manitou boulevard route to the
general boulevard committee.

Every farmer in this vicinity should
have several specimens OF his products

A NEW DAM.
One to Be Built at Mile Laos Lake in the
Near Future.

One to Be Built at Mile Laos Lake in the
Near Future.
Foley Bros. have made an offer to
the residents of the Mile Laos lake
region which should Immediately be
accepted. The company desire to put
in a new dam at the outlet which will
hold the water in the lake at a naviga-
BILE head, the only privileges asked in
return being the right to use the
water for driving purposes in the
spring and release from liability of
damages caused by the fowage. The
conformation of the shore of the lake
is such that the item last mentioned
will be small, a few meadows being the
only parts which will be injured.
Mile Laos lake has no large streams
to feed it and during the dry seasons
the brooks are practically dry. The
evaporation alone will amount TO-
several feet in a season and with free
flow there is no way to keep the reefs
submerged. The lake, if properly
cared for, is destined to be the great
est summer resort in the North, but it
can never become popular if it is not
open to navigation.
The dam proposed will be substan-
TALLY built and provided with a lock
for forty-foot boat. Besides this a
swing bridge will be put in, so that
there will be every convenience for
traffic of all kinds, and this without a
cents outlay on the part of the county,
or individuals. Hennepin county, in
which Minnetonka is located has spent
thousands of dollars in litigation to
maintain reasonable stage of water
but has not yet accomplished it nor
seen the end of litigation. The diff
Guilty there was that the dam was not
built at the very outset but was left
until people had paid fancy prices for
low projecting points and had erected
valuable buildings thereon. Let Mile
Laos property owners profit by their
I neighbours mistakes and embrace this
most excellent opportunity to preserve
{ the beauty and attractiveness of the
! lake.

of the cheapest that had ever been
held in the county, the expenses being
from third to a half less than previ-
Gus terms. This he said was due to
the manner in which the grand jury
disposed of the criminals.
The grand jury before it was dis
charged brought in the following re-
port:
GRAND JURY'S REPORT.
We, the grand jury of the county of
Mile Laos and State of Minnesota,
make the following presentment, to-wit:
That the financial affairs of school dis
trict No. Is, of said county and State,
have been grossly mismanaged and
should be thoroughly investigated.
The committee to examine the city
prison finds the condition of the prison
very good; but the committee recon-
mends that there be door in the east
end near the cell to be used as an es-
cape in case of fire. The committee to
investigate the county offices report no
irregularities so far as could be seen by
them. We find that the roads and
bridges in commissioner district No.
are in a dangerous and deplorable
condition, and also that the county
commissioners appropriated the sum of
$500 for the purpose of repairing said
roads and bridges and said appropria-
ton was made in July for immediate
use. r. w. FREER, Foreman.

Mile Laos county prisoners in the Lit

Nathan Horton blew into the waiting
room at the union station yesterday after
noon, says the Kansas City Times. He
staggered about like a ship under full sail
in the face of hurricane. He had chin
whskers, a carpet bag, a faded umbrella
and jag. He rounded a row of seats sue
cessfully, but missed the exit to the plat
form and ran afOul of the fruit stand. He
graSped the railing around the counter,
unWound his badly tangled legs and sway
ed to and fro until he struck a balance.
He leered at the clerk for a moment, and
then began:

Three for five cents" replied the clerk.
"Whash that? Three what fur five

Three apples for five cents"

the apples. He separated one-fourth of it
from the remainder with his teeth, and
munched it in silence for full minute.
Purity good apple that sonny. I've a

Say, how much is these white uns?''
-Four for five"

Before the clerk could interfere Horton
had slowed away half of the white apple
in his mouth. He was also endeavoring a
well as he could under the circumstances
to get hold of a large, luscious pear which
formed the apex of a pyramid of the fruit
The clerk called an officer and Horton was
escorted to No. 2 police station, where he
was locked up for safe-keeping. AS he
steadied himself by holding to the wire
netting in front of the captains desk, he
said
