Vol. l, No. l. of The Harrisom-
an, (now the Times) was born,
and is yet a living monument of
the good will and liberal sup
port of the good people of Har-
rison county in general and Of
Missouri Valley in particular.
At that time this city was
small potatoes and few in a hill,
a mere speck as it were on the
map of the county, but has con-
tinued to grow and prosper in
all that makes a people pros
porous and happy. Then not a
school house, church. or public
building to be seen in the town
now we have several magnif-
icent church buildings, a fine
opera house, several public halls
three large school houses with
rs teachers, a city building and
No. l fire company, one of the
most complete systems of water
water works, hot water city
heating plant, telegraph and
telephone system, and a grape
vine" communication with all
parts of the country, with city
library, brass band, lodges of
of almost every order, with in
teligen men, handsome women,
smart children, and more of
then, best railroad facilities,
more dogs, fewer cranks, and
happier people than any town
of it's Size in the United States.
The Times, although of age,
is young, comparatively speak
ing, yet healthy, and bids fair
to live long and prosper in the
land of it's birth, and is now be-
ing offered to subscribers at the
low price of One Dollar per an
mum, with $50 vote cupon on
the piano contest. Come in and
subscribe and be happy, and
make us happy.

He is a strenuous president indeed who engages in

warfare afford another striking argument in favor of
universal peace among the nations. For several

and entered into partnership with Solon
w. Craigue, who had been sheriff of
San Diego, was an argonaut and was
one of the best known men of the
coast. AS Col. R. S. Baker was desir-
Gus Of building the block which now
bears his name, the firm Of Lips &
Craigue was removed to the Arcadia
block on Los Angeles street. In one of
the doors of this warehouse had been
shot the American which brought on
the celebrated Chinese massacre of 1872,
the details of which / read in the New
York newspapers just before starting
for California. After keeping their
store on Los Angeles street some time,
they removed to Main street, in the
Baker block; when that noble building
for those days a palace-was COM
pleted. In business transactions they
had acquired the st. Charles hotel,
which they run for some years.
After a while Craigue, who was
quite an old man, wanted to go off and
take his ease on a farm and therefore
disposed of his interests to e. Martin
& Co.. which firm was represented in
supervisory character by BILLY"
Rockwell, a nephew of one of the MEM
bers of the firm, a genial fellow, who
was once known to every man, woman
and child in Los Angeles, one would
think from the universally Of his ac-
Quaintance.
An Extraordinary Change
About this time very extraordinary
change began to be noticed in poor
Lips. From having been almost Beau
Brummel, he began to neglect his
toilet. knew him very intimately and
had for years enjoyed his conversation
greatly. He generally took his station
in the handsome doorway of his big
store and exchanged the compliments
of the day with the passersby; and. as
lodged in the Baker block myself /,
of course, saw much of him.
Los Angeles was not at that time at
the top notch of prosperity and poor
Lips took the situation much to heart.
II brooded on him and close friends
took his condition to question. Moth
ing seemed to please him so much as to
impress his interloctors with the idea
that the business of 2. Martin & CO..
which he represented, was not worth
tinker's d--n. There was no malice
In this. and he, indeed. regretted IL
very much,
A business like that Of u. Martin g.
Co. OF Los Angeles, housed as It was
Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-27

and under the patronage of the biggest
firm on the Pacific coast, ought to have
sold for $4,000 or $50,0O0 or more. 1
have no doubt that e. Martin & Co.
gave Craigue the larger sum for his
half of the firm of Lips & Craigue. But
with an accomplished bookkeeper mad
and devoting himself to the dissemin-
alton of the idea that everything was
going to the devil in the handsome
store in the Baker block, the San
Francisco firm devoted themselves to
closing out the business, and what
ought to have been an exceedingly
valuable good will evanesced into the
thinnest of diaphonous air.
Poor Lips. elegant gentleman and
downright good fellow, was taken to an
insane asylum and died there.
death notice in an English newspaper
terminates thus: "At rest with the Lord.
Friends accept this intimation."
