Scenes About Los Angeles.

At Los Angeles the first of the old
pueblos was established. There were
two missions in what is now Los An
geles county; the first, San Gabriel,
about eighteen miles toward the north,
was used as a center of supplies for
the southern missions. 1t is fairly we'll
preserved today and it's main chapel
with heavy buttressed walls of baked
adobe slabs, is impervious to the raw
ages of time. A modern roof of shin
giles, however, mars the beauty Of its
original effect. The second mission In
Los Angeles county was San Fernando,
distant twenty-eight miles little west
of north from San Gabriel.
One of the finest preserved ancient
tile roofs to be seen on any of the
missions is here, and the fountains in
the patio are of immense size and I'M
usual construction.
The long corridors of archways, pc
culiar to almost all the missions, are
seen here to perfection and the sur

A Ruined Shrine.

In front of its partially ruined chapel
may be seen the old Ell Canine Real,
as it is here that start is to be made
looking to the resurrection of that
road to its terminus, 500 or more miles
to the north. From this point north
eastward, distant little more than 80
miles, the original road takes its way
through beautiful mountain canyons to
the mission of San Luis Rey The mis-
sion is in ruins except the chapel,
which has been partly reconstructed
within the present decade and which
is now rated as one of the best exam
pies of mission architecture to be seen
anywhere in the state.
The ruined portion presents COM
prehensive idea of the immensely of
the work done by the Franciscans, for
some of the old walls still standing
and the long tiers of ruined archways
are massive in size. Ell Canine Real
passes directly in front of this mis-
sion, and is to-day an excellent road
way.
From San Luis Rey mission the orig
inal road continues toward the mission
of San Juan Capistrano, crossing the
line into the present Orange county in
the San Onofro Canyon, about three
and a half miles from the coast. 1t
passes directly through the town OF

the distance from San Luis Rey to San
Juan is to-day the best road in use.
The mission of San Juan Capistrano
is in more ruined condition, perhaps,
than almost any of the other missions.
About the middle of the last century it
was wrecked by an earthquake and
many persons lost their lives. The
smaller chapel has been kept in fair
state of preservation, however, and
some of the relics of former greatness
may be seen within it's rooms. There
is a baptismal font here of rarest
workmanship, being carved most beau
tifully from a solid block of flint-like
granite. Some of the original paint
ings and statuary used in this mission
are preserved in the present chapel and
are said to be among the finest speci-
mems of early Spanish art brought to
this country.
Only the Rear Walls Stand.
The large chapel which was con-
structed many years after the founding
of the mission, is totally demolished,
however and only the rear wall stands.

when placed there originally, more
than century ago. There are also
some of the first official documents in
dited by the hand of Father Junipero
Sierra to be seen here. Ell Canine Real
passes along the lower side of what
was originally the east wall of the mis-
sion and is the main road from Capis-
trano to Santa Ana today.
From Santa Ana the original road,
which is now Main street in that place,
continued northward to a point on the
Santa Ana river, about four miles from
the present town of Anaheim. Only
three or four years ago this was aban-
doned by the county supervisors for a
new route, because of the fact that the
road paralleled the Southern Pacific
tracks in dangerous proximity for a
distance of several miles. From Ana
helm, through Fullertons main street
to Whittier, and thence to Los Angeles
the road is still in good condition and
in daily use.

DEPUTIES MEET OVER
Profitable Session of Woodmen
Workers Ends-OfIicers
Elected.

The Woodmen deputies completed the
business of their session at noon today.
The main question discussed during the
8 days meeting was that of an eqUit-
able rate adjustment for the order. This
was emphasized, not because it is part
of the deputies business to solve the
rate problem nor yet because it is their
duty to explain the purposes of the
change to the membership, but simply
to give them an understanding of the
basic principles of insurance that they
might better perform their duties.
The program last evening was changed
and the election of officers was held in
stead of taking up the discussion of the
paper of DIR. Z. l.. Kerns, of Moline, head
physician for the state of Illinois, upon

question, addresses being made and

THEATRE OPENING
Chic is Favored of Two
Attractions Submitted to
Committee.

AT the meeting of the general thea
ire committee ut the Rock Island Club
yesterday afternoon Promoter John
stOn, as reported in last evening S
Argus, stated he had two attractions
suitable for the opening performance
in view, care you a Mason?' for the
Goth and The Princess Chic" for the
2Sth.
While both are regarded as capital
shows, it was the unanimous senti-
ment of the committee that 1.-The
Princess Chic would he preferable.
Mr.. Johnston thereupon agreed to
spare no expense to secure it, and at
once telegraphed the Olympic theatre,
st. Louis, where the Marguerite Sylvia
Opera company is playing, making a
cash proposition to produce 1.-The
Princess Chic here the 2Sth.
The committee adjourned to meet
at the Harper house after supper, but
during the evening Mr.. Johnston had
received no response to his telegram.
Judge Foley, who is financially inter-
ested in Mr.. Johnston's enterprises,
had arrived from his home in Lincoln,
ILL.,, and in company with the former
and members of the committee paid a
visit to the Illinois, which was illu-
minated to show its interior beauties,
heretofore described in EThe Argus.
Not the least of the more attractive
features is the main drop curtain
which, in Difference to the wishes of
the committee, Mr.. Johnston has
made as elaborate and yet as tasty as
possible. Mr.. Johnston expressed it
as his belief that there is none pref
tier in the state.
Mr.. Johnston received an answer to
his telegram to st. Louis this morn
ing, but as it was not satisfactory the
matter of the opening performance is
again before the general theatre COM
mittee at a meeting at the Rock Is
land Club at 5 O'Clock this afternoon.

Speaker of the Illinois House
Comes to Meet New

IN HIS CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
Says There is no Politics i'm His Visit
and Sees Numerous
Friends.

Judge L. y. Sherman. of Macomb
| speaker of the Illinois house of represen
tatives dropped into town today-iust to
become acquainted with his neighbors
he said. The judge was accompanied by
the well known Illinois republican
wheel-hOrse, NJ. j. Foreman, who repre-.
sents the Third ward of Chicago in the
municipal assembly of that city. Aside
from accompanying his friend Judge
Sherman, Aid. Foreman had the salts
faction and pleasure of greeting his per-
sonal as well as political friend, Walter
A. Rosenfield.
Among others prominent in the poll
ties of the republican party in this sec
ton of Illinois who awaited themselves
of the opportunity to swap compliments
with the Illinois speaker were j. Mack
Sholl, of Carthage, and former State
Senator III. V. Fisher, of Geneseo.
to say nothing of the array of local cele-
brities, which while perhaps not so num-
erous as on some former Occasions-be-
for the postoffice questions were settled
was just as important.
just Getting Acquainted.
The judge declared there was no sig
niieance whatever attached to his visit
His object in coming to Rock Island at
this time was merely to become ac-
quainted with his new neighbOrs, con-
occasionally speaking. The Judge had
no idea of looking after his fences either
in view of the congressional nomination
next year or the gubernatorial honor
some three years hence.
Judge Sherman has a happy faculty of
making friends, for beneath the stern
exterior that he assumes when a minor
ity representative asks the privilege of
the floor at Springfield is concealed
genial soul.
And when it comes to ways that are |
peculiar politically, the man who camps |
on Sherman's trail is something on the |
order of the dandy
After the judge had met the poll
ticians at the Harper, he became the
guest of Hon. +. w. Hurst, who during
his last term of service in the house
proved one of the minority leaders who
never failed to command the eye of the
chair, and who in consequence always
mas good word for the distinguished
presiding officer. Judge Sherman and
Mr. Foreman were entertained by Mr..
Hurst at luncheon at the Rock Island
Tub, the affair being entirely i'm
,romptu.
