Prosperous Times for Azusa

]. w. Jeffries, editor and publisher OF
the Azusa Pomotropic, was in the city
yesterday. He reports over two hun
dred men at work in the great water
power developments in the San Ga
briel canyon, which work is a material
assistance to the business interests of
Azusa. He also says that one thousand
carloads is a conservative estimate for
the orange crop soon to be marketed in
the Azusa valley. Last years crop was
only 469 carloads. The coming crop is
not only large, but it is of exceptionally
fine quality and the price bids fair to be
as good as the crop.

WHAT OTHERS THINK
Of De Groot, the Money Lender, and
His Recent Actions


Even outside of this city the contu-
macious actions of w. E. De Groot, the
Spring street money lender and cent per
center. are attracting attention. as the
following clipping will show. De Groot
is to come up for trial Saturday upon the
charge of battery upon Herald re-
porter, whom he inveigled into his den
with the avowed purpose of first pro-
ceeding to put him through filthy pro-
gram and then throwing him out. The
article is from the Pasadena Star of the
18th inst, and is headed 1.-The Law and
the Subject" 1t is as follows:
Another chance will be had in Los
Angeles to see whether a wealthy GRIM
inal is bigger than the law. We say
wealthy criminal, because there is no
doubt about one who is wealthy. He
is confessedly smaller than the law, and
nobody disputes it. But the rich one.
who has money to hire sharp lawyers
and fight justice at every point, stands
80 good a chance of success, and so often
does succeed, that he and the law are
about evenly matched, and it is doubt
full which prevails. The case in point il
that of rich bully, strong in person as in
purse, who entices puny reporter into
his place of business with the avowe6
purpose of doing him great bodily in
jury. For lack. of assistance he. fails in
the worst of his intentions, but does
throw the reporter into the street. He
is arrested and has been arraigned for
trial. But, having money to burn, he is
not of the temper to take his medicine
meekly, and has given the law the def
by hiring force Of lawyers who will
practically put chip on their clients
shoulder and defy the state to knock
it off. Can 1t be done?"

Rev. A. ID. Theler's Address at the
v. NJ. c. A.
One of the most spiritual and i'm
pressive meetings lately held at the
Y. M. @. A. was the one held Sun
day afternoon. IL was conducted by
Rev. A. d. Tb9'er ON the subject of
"Christ's Color Bearers" taken from
Romans 1:16. Just before the address
a solo, "Have You Sought for the
Sheep that have Wandered" was
sung by Mr.. w. III. Chick
Mr.. Tbaler spoke of the many brave
men ia the military world but said that
what we, as Christians, need to do is
to get on a still higher plane than
that-mOre brave color bearers for
Jesus Christ. We ought to put our
selves into His care and take Him in
to our inner life. Be willing to be
used OF Him. There is entirely too
much religious cant" in the world
Confess Christ with your mouth. If
you don't do this your life will become
stagnant Keep the spiritual outlet
open and you will soon be ready to
testify for our Master. Live an active
life and do it for Christs sake.
There are many men who are anx-
lous for some one to speak to them
about their soul and there are also
many who would gladly go to the Y.
M. q. A. meetings If they were only
asked. The Lord needs more button
hole work. There is much to be done
and We should use courage and tact
in His work.

A LITTLE GIRL INJURED.
Run Over by Bicyclist in West Win.
ston Monday Morning.

About IL o'clock Monday near
the corner OF Fourth and Spring
streets, little Virginia Magruder, the
three-year-old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. A. Magruder, was knocked
down and run over by bicyclist, in
fiicting painful bruises on the face
and abrasions of the skin on one side
of the body. DR.. r. f. Gray, the at
tending physician, does not think the
injuries are serious. The many
friends Of the dear little girl and of
her parents will sincerely hope for her
speedy recovery.
1t is hard to conceive that the occur
renee was anything but an accident,
and yet the actions of the person who
ran over the little girl were very
strange, to say the least. The nurse
says he cursed and mounted his wheel
and ran off as fast as he could towards
| the West Fad Who the bicyclist was
is not known. The nurse did not re-
cogniZa him. Evidently he was very
| much frightened or was very heartless.
