Business Property

FOR SALE - BROADWAY BUSINESS
Property
The 6S feet on Broadway between Third
and Fourth sts., at present occupied by
the First M. e. church building, can be
bought for $4,000; at that price it Is the
best buy in Los Angeles today. But
for the temporary depression resulting
from the uncertainty regarding the San
Pedro harbor and the delayed rains, 1t
would sell readily for $4,000 more. and
be regarded as great bargain. That 1t
will bring $1O0 900 within two years no.
body familiar with the trend of things
doubts for an instant. 1t is the finest
chance for an absolutely safe and ex-
tremely profitable investment that has
been Known here for years, but of course
1t takes some money to swing 1t. Broad
way, IL not so already will SOON be the
principal retail or shopping street of the
city. Everybody now realizes and ac-
knowledges this. The leading stores are
removing to it as fast as they can be ac-
commodated. Since 1t became known that
the Coulter Dry Goods company had
leased the new Laughlin building, at
least nine other large establishments
have arranged to join those already
there. This church property is between
the Laughlin building and the Grant
building, which w. Il. Cummings, the
shoe man, now occupies. With all these
fine stores and the city hall, and the
court house besides, it is hard to say why
Broadway is not already the principa
street Its width, its architecture, its
H-foot sidewalks, its busy, metropolitan
appearance, certainly entitle 1t to the dis
tinction of being the finest one. 1t will
not be long before every foot of it be-
tween Second and Fourth SITS. will be
held at double what 1t Is now; $4,000 6
foot will be regarded as cheap for almost
any Of it. Terms: $4,000 cash, balance

BARON FL CARDO'S Def
ACCEPTED BY DIR. POWELL OF
WISCONSIN
Thankful for Chance to Fire One
Shot to Avenge the Death Of
Yankee Sailors .

WINONA, MIMI, March 21.-In response
to the challenge of Baron ell Cardo, mar
quis OF Altavilla, Mardrid, Spain, to fight
O duel with Senator Mason of Illinois for
the latter's utterances in the United States
senate, DR.. Geo. Powell of La Crosse has
cabled the following acceptance Of the
challenge in Masons stead:
ITO Baron ell Cardo, Madrid, Spain:
Through the press dispatches, am in
formed that you have challenged Senator
Mason to mortal combat for words spoken
in defense of his position as the champion
of the patriotism and principles of his
country and its people in the United States,
with usual Spanish generosity, selecting
your own weapon.
'Now, as Senator Mason has spent a
lifetime in a more humane calling and in
the walks of a civilization which has but
poorly fittde him to meet at bully-at-afDns.
as one who has admired and now indorses
the Objectionable words and patriotism Of
Senator Mason, I, q plainsman, western
er, one of a class known as typically
American-typically because 1t holds prin-
ciples of patriotism above price; because 1t
believes that murder in the first degree
cannot be paid for with gold-hereby ac-
cept your challenge and name the army
pistol, the old A, the organ Of civilization, a,
the instrument with which the American
plainsman measures justice to assassins;
and, while earnestly assure you and all
your kind that thousands Of men of my
type stand ready to stand In my tracks and
pick up my pistol II 1t should fall, sin
cerely thank the representative of 1000
years of barbarism for the opportunity to
fire q shot in revenge for the Yankee SAIL
ors who fed the sharks In the bottom of
Havana harbor.
(signeO "GEo. E. POWELL.
LA Crosse, Wis, March 21, 1885,"
DIR. POWELL'S ABILITY
If DR.. Powell meets the Spaniard In
combat with army A Colts, it is a fore
gone conclusion that the champion of
Spain will be perforated at any and every
point the doctor may select, for he is one
of the best revolver and rifle shots in the
country. He, makes, or has made. his liv-
ing by shooting straight, for he has for a
long time been Wild West marksman.
He can center the bullseye standing up, ly-
Ing down, upside down, on horseback,
shooting under his steed's belly, or aiming
backward from looking glass, or any
old way. His reputation is equal to DR..
Carver's, Buffalo Bilps, or any Of the noted
shooters of the plains, and he is credited
with having number of notches on his
revolver hilt. marking a series of en-
counters in which he came out victorious,
the subsequent proceedings interesting the
other fellows no more.

Captain J. N. Rowe.

The Rockland Courier Gazette reports
the death in Alaska of Capt. j. n Rowe,
aged 81 years. He was native of Win
terport but went to Rockland at an early
age and adopted a seafaring career He
was three years acting master of the q.
S. S. st. Paul. This craft was attached
to the Mediterranean squadron, although
her cruising grounds were along the
west coast of Africa, with headquarters
at Lisbon, Portugal. He enlisted during
the civil war and co-operated with Sher-
man in the capture of Savannah His ap-
pointment in the navy, by the way, was
due to the influence of Samuel c. Fessen-
den, then in Congress from Maine and
very intimate friend of the family
Capt Rowe's career from first to last
was a remarkable one, due to the rowing
disposition with which he was gifted He
visited almost every known corner of the
globe including the Philippine Islands, in
which this country is now SO greatly in
terested. He collected curiosities on all
these trips and Mrs. S. d. Dennis of
Rockland, his sister, has a splendid assort-
ment, which includes some very rare
shells from the Philippines.
He resided in Liverpool, England, for
several years and became interested III
of coke. This did not prove the success
he had anticipated and he took a ship
bound for the west coast of South
America. There he became enthnsed over
a mining scheme and went back to Liver
pool in the hopes of interesting capita in
his plans.
Failing in this he took up some govern
ment lands in the vicinity of Seattle,
Wash, where after, residing :" while, he
grew restless and made a Grip to the
Arctic circles. 1t was while in Washing
ton that he attempted an invention for
taking the sun at sea and with such
promises of success that the government
sent an agent to look into the scheme.
Last June Capt. Rowe navigated an
ocean steamship up the Yukon, much to
the admiration of the natives, who had
never seen an ocean steamship make the
passage of that broad but shallow body of
water. The last heard of him. previous to
his death, was to the effect that he was in
charge of the steamer Seattle No of
the Seattle Il Yukon Transportation Go.
He was also a deputy customs collector
with immensely valuable furs and bonded
goods under his charge. He wrote home
that every day he met people coming from
the gold region. Some brought away
quantity of the precious dust, but nearly
all were going home discouraged and pro
nouncing the gold fields delusion
Capt. Rowe was a splendid navigator
and possessed of considerable inventive
genius. lie had a great longing to come
upon fortune in his numerous wanderngs,
but fate decreed otherwise.
Capt. Rowe married Caroline Heating,
sister of Mrs. Irsael Snow of Rocklaud,
