STREET ELECTROLlERS.

The Gift OF Los Angeles Business
Men to Their Town.
The handsome private electric light
ing system, conceived and established
by Broadway business men and proper
ty owners Of Los Angeles. Cal, ex-
tending from Temple street south to
Tenth street ON both sides of Broad
way. has been donated outright to the
town, says the Los Angeles Herald
The cost of the improvement Is close to
$751; 900. The entire system Of electro
liers is q free gift to the town. while
the wiring will be the gift of the cleo
trio lighting company, approximatinS
an expense Of $1,000. All that the town
will be required to do Is to provide the
electric light.
The town has accepted the gift, and
steps will be taken to provide for light.
A communication of the Broadway I'm
provement association to the council
outlined a scheme by which the project
Of lighting the entire business district
and even residence sections promises
to be carried out through similar SyS-
TENS at the expense Of property OWL
erS.
Business men and property owners
ON Hill street decided some months ago
to establish a complete lighting system
on that busy thoroughfare. The i'm
provement will cost about $4,000.
Judge Charles Silent states that all Of
the necessary signatures have been Sc
cured and that the committee In charge
Is about ready to let the contract for
the posts and globes. The Hin street
people will donate the entire lighting
system to the town, thus following the
course adopted by the Broadway bust
ness men.
It Is understood that similar light
systems are to be provided for Spring
and Main streets and that the posts
will be In place at an early date. When
all the posts are up and the lights are
turned on, the business sections Of Los
Angeles will be as light as day from
shutdown until midnight.

Followed by the peonies and irises. For

To make good use Of these and many
other growths all that is needed. Mr..
Cameron says, Is to start with good
taste and a knowledge Of when and
where to plant the different seeds and
bulbs to best advantage The former
asset is seemingly difficult one to ac-
Quire, but the latter comes with long
practice and study Of manuals, soils,
fertilizers and the weather. And when
the next winters frosts come around

WILL COLOMBO SIBERIA,
Russias Scheme to Retain Advantages
in Far East.

st. Petersburg.-Realizing the ad-
Vantages of retaining in the far east
stock of sturdy and energetic colon
lists, and at the same time desiring to
reward veterans of the war, the min
istries Of the interior and agriculture
have worked out a draft of home
stealing law under which officers and
soldiers are entitled to preempt free,
within two years, farms ranging from
l35 acres, with bonus OF $50 for en-
listed men, to $4,000 acres for the
highest officers, and a loan of from
$3.50 to $4,000 and exemption from tax
alton for five years.
The law will affect all the unoccu-
pied lands in Siberia, large amount
of which is now valueless on account
of the lack of communication, but
which will be opened to settlement il
the railroads connecting the Transcas-
pain and Transsiberian systems, for
which private companies are now seek
ing concessions, are built
