SUNKEN VILLAGE IN NEW YORK
It Is Right in the City's Heart, Yet
Few Know It

There is in the heart of New York city a
quaint, picturesque little village that few
have seen.
This community, which numbers over sc
inhabitants lies west of the boulevard, its
principal lane runs from Sixty first to Sixty
second street Few of the thousands who
pass it guess its presence. Its curious, old
fashioned houses stand so far below the
street that their chmneys scarcely rise to
the level of the sidewalk, and the whole is
surrounded by high fences plastered with
gaudy posters.
The sunken village might have slumbered
in this quiet retreat undiscovered had its
inhabitants not been rudely awakened one
day last week by fire. The little wooden
houses are so closely crowded together that
a fire would soon destroy them all. The vii
layers have recognized this and have or
ganized a little fire company of their own
Pals of water have always been kept stand
ing to meet such an emergency.
The fire started near the center of the
village, in the house of John Gebhardt
where the family had retired on Friday
night, leaving a lighted lamp on the kitchen
table. During the night the cat overturned
the lamp and it set the house on fire.
When the flames were discovered the vol
unteer fire department rushed to the res
cue. Meanwhile neighbor in a towering
apartment house across the way saw the
flames and smoke and sent in the alarm.
The first engine on the scene was No. 40
Captain Cosgrove The position of the vii
lage presented difficulties. The tiremer
scurried around the fence looking for al
opening. The sunken village boasts an en-
trance on the boulevard, but this was not
known until last week. The entrance il
through door, which opens as if by magic
in huge buckwheat poster, and when CLOSED
it would never be suspected. In the enc
the fire was controlled.
The population is mostly composed O
Germans. Most of them have lived in the
sunken village for many years. Several O.

The oldest inhabitants are the Joyces, Wer

For the space of about fifteen years forty
two acres of the old B. Wilson estate at
the corner of San Pedro and Jefferson
streets have been titled and fertilized by
industrious Cinnamon, and from this source
have been supplied the succulent edlbles
which tickle the palates and satisfy the ap-
petites of the omnivorous citizens OF Los
Angeles; but there are very few who give
a moments thought to the large volume OF
energy, vitality, art and toll bestowed by
We Heathen Chinee upon the sandy soil to

NOW SANG
The present occupier of these extensive
kitchen gardens was born in Hongkong
thirty-nine years ago, and when only
young man was deported to California,
finding employment at Berkeley, where he
was by his Celestial masters initiated into
the art and mysteries of raising vegetables
for Mclean man. From Berkeley about four
years ago he came to this city and subse
quently striking bargain for the Villa
Mongolia, its acreages flies and appurte-
nances, he betook himself to coming Yam

management. Neither the villa nor the

The "boys" were coming in one by one
