vice but few months, s. w. Hitler, the

One of California's brightest young
men is George L. McKeeby, assistant
United States attorney for the southern
district. Mr.. McKeeby has worked his
own way to the front. He was born
in Ventura county, coming to Los An
geles in his early youth and graduating
from the local high school in 1892.
When the Spanish American war broke

spirit of a true American boy, enlisted
in the California heavy artillery and

proved to be exceptionally cool and
efficient under fire" When he was mus
tered out of service Mr.. McKeeby came
to Los Angeles and started to practice
law, having passed his examinatio ion

ing in the army. In 1901 he was APP

ElRE cHlEE WALTER LIPS

Los Angeles is fortunate in many
ways, and one of them is in some OF
her officials or public servants, and
this is true of none more than of Wal
ter Lips, chief of the city's efficient
and in every way excellent fire depart
ment This efficiency and excellence Is
due in no small degree to the efforts
of Chief Lips, who as a boy and man,
as subordinate and chief, has been one
of Los Angeles best and most reliable
fire-fghters for many years. While Mr..
Lips was appointed to the high position
of chief of the Los Angeles fire depart
ment but a few months ago, he has
since that time proved himself worthy
of the trust reposed In him in every
respect. Not only has he brought about
many needed reforms in the important
department of the city government of
which he Is at the head but he has
shown himself to be man of the
highest character, with the talent and
ability to meet and cope with the Is
sues that are presented before him and
to settle them in most satisfactory
and generally creditable manner.
Chief Lips knows everything a chief
of fre-fghters ought to know, and
knows 1t well. Prior to his appoint
ment as chief he was one of the most
capable engineers in the department,
distinguishing himself In several of the
largest fires in recent years In this city.
Every street, every detail of his work.
his probable best course In case OF
emergency, are constantly In his mind.
Besides he has a faculty of handling
his men to the very best advantage and
they are all devoted to him.

HARRY ]. LELANpE

The office of city, clerk in a municipality

and is now serving upon his second term,
having been reelected in the recent city
election by a much greater majority than
during his first campaign. Mr.. Lelande

afford to take him from the council,
where he has made an enviable record,
and place him at the head of the
municipal government. AS council

Those Chosen to
Represent the
Public
HON. L. n. VALENTINE

There are few positions in. the. federal
service which require such thorough
knowledge of the law as that OF United
States attorney, and for a district like
Southern California where the officials
are constantly coming in contact with
subjects of other nations, the duties are
made all the more difficult. Hence 1t is
that the Washington authorities were
careful In their selection, when a vacancy
became due here in 1901, and in the ap-
pointment of Hon. L. H. Valentine to
that responsible place no mistake was
made Mr.. Valentine was first appointed
United States attorney by President Nc
Kinley September d. 1901. Later he was
reappointed by President Roosevelt, De-
cember IL, 1901. Mr.. Valentine was born
at Placerville, and graduated in the law
from Hastings college, which has since
become a part of the University of Cal
ifornia. He came to Los Angeles in the
eighties and commenced practice. Mr..
valentine has always been regarded as
one of the foremost members of the local
bar. He takes an active part in politics,
and his good Judgment and keen fore
sight have proven valuable to his party
In many campaigns
