assisting in the work of adjusting the
steel columns that were swung into
place by the powerful steam derrick.
Superintendent L. b. Eagan of Bos-
ton, who has general charge of the
entire improvement, says that Mr.
Coutts is one of the most efficient
workmen in his line that he has met
inn his travels. Because of his youth
Mr.. Eagan thought at first that he
might fail in all requirements, but all
doubts have been removed by the dis
play of the young mans thorough
familiarity with the intricate details
of the undertaking.
The most practical part of the work
was the building of the concrete foun-
dations and the placing of the steel
bases. All of this work was carefully
directed by the young Coutts, and as
the improvement progresses he is con-
stantly on the alert, keeping all of the
men busy, while on his part he seems
to be everywhere, directing all move
ments with no display of worry or
nervousness.
Mr.. Coutts for his age is a wonder in
his line, and is one whom many other
young men might emulate with profit.
incidentally it may be mentioned that
Mr.. Coutts is "a native of Scotland,
that he came to America an infan,
and that since II years of age he has
been associated with his father and
two brothers in construction work.

HUNTINGTON WILL BUILD
ON M0NETA AVENUE
Line Must Be Completed Within the
Next Sixty
Days

OF the greatest Importance to the
southwest part of the city is the ac-
ceptance by the city council of a map
of the Mccarthy company's Main
Street, Moneta Avenue and Figueroa
Street tract, subdivision of the Rice
property. The map is signed and joined
in by the Los Angeles Electric Rail
of way to the Los Angeles Electric
railway across Fifty~third street from
Moneta avenue to Main street, at
which point it joins its branch to the
new car shops and car houses three
blocks distant By this arrangement
with the Mccarthy company the rail-
way company is enabled to run it's cars
directly into the car houses from the
new Moneta avenue line without run
ming the long loop back to Vernon or
Jefferson streets.
1t is understood that the Mccarthy
company purchased this tract jointly
with the Huntington interests for the
purpose of obtaining this long coveted
Ai6hh VI NcAJ anu NidA hHlS 10 NIlG last
link now supplied for the immediate
building of the Moneta avenue line,
which is to be the finest equipped of
all the Huntington lines in Los An
geles. The railway company is under
contract to lay its tracks upon this
new right OF way within sixty days.
This move explains IN part the large
operations of the Mccarthy company
in this district in the last few weeks.

ALL FUTURES At
NEW Low POINT
Prices Strong at the Opening
but Begin to Give Way
Late i'm Session

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
April 26.-There was not much in the
early morning news to affect prices and
those received later in the day were of a
bullish character, but in spite Of this
prices suffered severe decline during the
last hour of the trading. The opening
was firm and met with quite little sup
port from those who believed that the de-
cline had discounted all the bearish fac
tors and from the small scalping shorts
who wanted to cover This support caused
a very strong market for the first hours
trading, May rallying 1c and July nearly
1c. The advance relieved the market
from what support there was and when
any wheat was offered prices began to
decline, breaking about 1c before the
noon hour with slight recovery. Trad
ing up to this time had been more quiet
than the preceding two days with most
scalpers.
Shortly after the noon hour the bears
became more aggressive and started a
raid on the market, which did not let up
until the closing tap of the bell. prices
dropping sharply over &c and making new
low points on all futures. The decline
was almost straight decline. The re-
actions We're very slight. Even at put
prices the demand was not enough to
check the decline, the market closing at
low point for the day and at a decline
of over &c from the high point of the day.
The bear fever seems to be more intensi-
fed than ever. no one seeming to want
any wheat. What little support there is
TO the market is from the shorts covering
