City Lots and Lands

FOR SALE-HANDSOME RESIDENCE
site, any size from single lot to a whole
block; situation as fine for large resi-
dence as can be found in Los Angeles:
only half as far out as Westlake park,
and twice as BILE in a dozen ways.
The property Is bounded on the north and
south by Third and Arnold sts., and on
the east and west by Bixel st. and Lucas
ave. BiXel st. runs north from Seventh
to Third, rising gradually all the way till
this beautiful elevated plateau Is reached
1t is broad. well improved street and
favorite with people who drive. Lucas
avenue runs parallel with Bixel. and Is
the first street west of 1t. The big Shatto
residence is on Lucas. 1t is full milo
nearer the city than Westlake park. and
the cars bring one from the corner OF Lu-
cas- ave. and Second st. to Spring st. in
just minutes. Tho lots are practically
level and just high enough above the
streets to admit of the most artistic fin
fshing up. The outlook from them Is as
fine as 1t is possible to imagine. and a
good residence would show up from them
to very great advantage. 1t could be- seen
for miles and would be landmark. From
1t the view In any direction would be in
describably pleasing. The eye would take
In the entire mountain range from San
Bernardino and San Antonio clear around
charming panorama of city and valley
that lies between. One can get here any
size lot, from 50x125 to $50 feet square, or
larger II desired. And he can get 1t at
Its present - not a speculative - value.
This property, and all the property in the
neighborhood, will undoubtedly be held
higher the moment real estate begins to
move, and there are good reasons why
the advance here will be greater than
elsewhere. In the first place, it is about
the only really beautiful hill district that
is not ruined or threatened with ruin by
the oil. The line of derricks is far to the
north of this property. and never can
come any closer, because south Of that
line there is no OIL. That fact has been
abundantly demonstrated by repeated and
costly experiments. Secondly, the Third
street tunnel, when completed, will make
OF Third st. as important an east and west
thoroughfare as Seventh now is. a car
l.re through the tunnel and past this
property is assured. and will probs bly, be
in operation within very few months If
property on Seventh ST.. between BiXel
ST. and Lucas ave-, Is now worth $50
front foot. this will be worth more, be-
cause of its better loca ton and greater
nearness to the business center Of the
city. The situation Is finer. 1t IL ION the
hills" but rot hiliy. 1t has all the advan-
tages OF elevation and outlook. and none
of the disadvantages. One does not have
TO climb any steep hills to get to it, nor
find a succession Of hills and hollows
when he arrives. For hea!thfulness. pure
air. inspiring view and absence of frost,
il is not excelled. For sale by s. &.

"What deductions do naval officers
draw from the experience of Cerverass
fieet?"
"The only two things which We ean
be positive of are that there is great
lack of discipline in the Spanish navy
and a woeful Ignorance of the use Of
modern warship machinery. It is GER
tain that had four United States war
ships and two torpedo boat destroyers
gone out of harbor to attack the
warships of Spain or any other nation
we would have made some trouble.
With the exhibitions OF nerve and cour-
played by our men, it is safe to say
that not one American warship would
have been beached.F Firing from our
guns would have been kept up Us long
as there was gun in working order
and ammunition enough to load it.
1--WE would never have run away. In
running away and sinking. his own
ships Cervera not only saved us the
trouble of destroying his ships, but he
lost an abundant opportunity to sink
some of ours. We had more ships than
he had, and to that extent we present.
ed a greater target. The more ships Of
ours in front of the harbor the greater
chance Cervera would have had of in-s
flicting damage on us. You wouldinot
have caught Dewey, Sampson, Watson
or Schley running away merely be-
cause there were few more of the
enemy's ships in sight. But in this case
Tho <ol 10 ~
had any more ships at the scene of bat
tie than the Spnniards had. The su-
perior numbers of our feet. therefore,
did not of itself cause Cervera's fight,
although the fear that all our ships
might attack him at once might have
tended to frigh.en his men,"
what do you think had the most
effect in making the Spanish ships run
away?"
"The constant and damaging fire of
the American gunners. There is where
our target practice comes into play.
For years the United States has been
devoting more attention to target
practice on shipboard than any other
nation. Many CT the nations, and es-
pecially Spain, thought it was suffi-
cient to buy the latest guns with up to
date appliances. They did not think
1t was very necessary that the men
should be constantly trained in hand
ling those modern appliances. But we
believed that it was just as useless to
have big guns without knowing how to
use them thoroughly as it would be to
have typewriting machine without
knowing how to manipulate the keys.
s"Napoleon used to say that it took
three months to make soldier, but six
years to make a sailor. If that was
true in Napoleon's time, when sailing
ships were in general use. how much
more true is the comparison to-day,
when such complicated machinery is
used in warships! The men should
thoroughly understand how to manip-
