Eauer Lot Purchasers

New Hollywood additions have been
rather infrequent of late, and the
opening of Hollywood Park place has
been one of the notable realty events
of the week. This tract consists of 23S
lots in the heart of Hollywood, on
Cahuenga avenue, one block north OF
the elegant home of Paul de Longpre,
and one-half block from Prospect ave-
nue., Hollywood's chief thoroughfare.
Otto Weld & Co., and the W. A. Rob-
erts Realty Co. are agents for the
tract, which would have been eagerly
snapped up long ago had it not formed
part of an unsettled estate. Now all
legal formalities have been complied
with. The tract has been surveyed,
streets are now being graded and water
has been piped into the tract.
Saturday and Sunday, November %
and &c, have been set apart for the for
NAL opening of Hollywood Park place,
but many persons have thought best
to select and reserve lots in advance.
over $227, 900 worth of the property hav-
ing already been sold. For Saturday
and Sunday free excursions have been
arranged over the Hollywood line, and
the applications for tickets indicate
that a large number of prospective lot
purchasers will be in attendance.

Elitor Taylor of the Knob Nos
ter Gem: Every man who ever
ran a newspaper or tried to run
one has butted up against 4
sorebead who can tell the edi-
tor how to run the EDITORS bus
mess. He can tell the exact Y
what he should write, whom he
should roast, etc. If the editor
asks him to furnish the roast
over his own signature, he OBJ
jects because it would get him
into trouble. If the editor
asks him for positive proof of
the subject matter of his roast
he hasn't it. II the editor asks
him to go along and help hunt
