clerk, impaired health induced him to re-
move to California.
In 1888 he settled at San Jose, where he
resumed his old business of druggist and
pharmacist, and, after two years of un-
broken success, he removed to this city,
where a happier and more healthful eli
mate awaited him. Soon after his arrival
in Los Angeles he purchased the well

charging clerk with the Red River and
Coast Line Steamboat company, a COM

self familiar with all the work and duties
connected with that department. After
that he entered into partnership with
Frank Harmon, the firm being known as
Harmon & Holster with an office a few
doors south of the city hall, on Broadway.
The business of this firm was specially
directed to contracts on street work and

department Of streets. Finding that the
business was not sufficiently remunera-
tive, Mr.. holster withdrew from the firm
and accepted position as motorman on the
Santa Monica electric railway, where he
served for about one year, when he was
offered a position as transitman in the
field department of the city engineer, where

Agricultural college at Lansing, he re-

LOUIS P. COLLETTE
UNION NOMINEE FOR COUNCILMAN
FIRST U-ADD

14NlO4N 4>OhlNf II l. Foft COO NClLMAN, I,
FIRST WARD
| Lou Colette," as he is familiarly known,
| Democratic nominee for councilman in the
First ward, Is making a remarkable cam
paign. Although a Republican ward, the
indications strongly point to his election,
all of which is due to his great popula rity
in the East Side. In his long residence in
East Los Angeles, during which time he
has been engaged in the drug business on
Downey avenue, he has become acquainted
with nearly every resident of the ward,
who have become and remained his loyal
friends.
Party lines will not be drawn very closely
when it comes to the election of council
man in the First ward. and Mr.. Collette
will receive the heartiest support from his
neighbors at the ballot box. While he has
never held nor sought public office hereto
fore, he has nevertheless taken the Keen
est interest in all public matters pertaining
to the Improvement of East Los Angeles.
He favors liberal support for the main
tenance and enlargement Of East Side park
and IS enthusiastically in favor of a per-
feet drainage system for that portion of
East Los Angeles lying east of Downey
avenue, known as the Fifth and Sixth
precincts, where Mr.. Collette has made nu-
merous friends in the advocacy of this
measure. His positive declaration that he
will remedy the present defects of drain
age in this district has gained for him al
most the solid vote of these precincts, and
the people so long embarrassed by the an
nual overfows will gladly welcome Mr.
Colettes election as relief to themselves
their lives and appreciation of their prop
erty. East Les Angeles is distinctively a
city of homes, nearly every resident own
ing his own home, and Mr.. Collette's close
ness to the people makes him the ideal can
didate for councilman. 1t can be safely
stated that the poor people Of the ward
will have q representative in the council
whom they can approach with the conf
dence of obtaining his support in whatever
grievance they may desire to make. Him
