 It Is not every one who can point with pride to a whale eighty feet long in his back yard. This privilege belongs to an East Los Angeles man. Some time ago while walking over his property he noticed a peculiar white streak which had wealth cred out It looked like chalk or as if whitewash had been sprinkled along the ground and had soaked in. The owner of the land began to investigate the matter with pick and shovel. To his amazement

sale until Saturday. December 29th. Naturally we prefer to sell these Rugs rather than return them, so you can understand why we are willing to pass them on you at the importers price plus small commission. Lest you may perhaps think the commission is large we say, that the price at which any of these Rugs may be bought are about what the average ''jobber' charges carpet stores. You are saved the latters profit. In a word the difference between our charge for these rugs and the importers charge is good deal less than what would be considered fairretail profit if they were bought outright But as we said, they are here only on consignment, we have no capital invested, no possible loss of any sort, and consider it right goodbu indeed to accept as our share of profit merely nominal sum.
 Thus it happens these Rugs may be pur- chased at the following prices:

The local elections held in Indiana
has been made to show that the Repub-
lican party would suffer at the polls
| because of the legislation enacted for
the benefit of Porto Rico. In all of the
protests which were made by those
who did not understand the situation,
those made in Indiana were most VIC
lent and most numerous. The fact that
the Indiana Congressman who voted
for the Porto Rican bill We're renom-
mated, and again that the Republican
ton enacted for the insular possessions,
did not influence the opinions Of the
croakers. They insisted that it was one
thing to carry platform through q
convention and another to secure it's
approval at the hands of the voters.
The elections show clearly that the
Republicans are not only not losing
votes on account of Porto Rico-or any
thing else-but that the party is strong
ar than ever. The fear that Porto
in Indiana is thus set at rest And
if in Indiana, where the legislation was
most violently opposed under a misap-
prehension, this is the result it may
be safely reckoned that the sober sec
| ond thought elsewhere has approved
the wise policy Of Congress and the

saying he had borne greater pains than
that before and would take it out along
the same lines. He considers the con

grievous result of the unfortunate acct

before the Supreme court which he was
to argue next week. The briefs have
been prepared in the several cases and
they will be read by another Of the local
attorneys. DR.. t. f. Mayham, the at
