IT is given out in cold print in
certain publications of the state
that "the Dunn forces" will control
the next Republican state conven-
ton. If we remember rightly they
controlled the last one. But the
vote at election showed conclusive.
ly that the convention did not voice
the sentiment of the Republican
voters of the state, and that while
conventions may propose the voters
still dispose.

WHEN the Dunn howlers talk of
Republican harmony in Minnesota
they overlook one bet. and that is
that the average mortal can be led
a whole lot easier than he can be
driven, even on questions of politics.
And the quicker it is realized that
the turning down of the Republi.
can candidate in the last campaign
was the turning down of man and
"a gang of political hucksters in
stead of the turning down of party
principals the quicker may a re-

fare. The ghosts were dismissed by
trick which liberated six frantic
white mice from big pumpkin and
In few moments the room was
cleared OF men as we'll as women.
A new idea in street improvements
has been introduced here by contract
ors who fill their obligation to wet the
soil or the street by. running the water
through bitches as in irrigating culti-
waited land. This method has been
pursued on Orange avenue, and seems
as thorough as sprinkling the street

A Remarkable RenI Estate Record

The last lot In Clark & BryanS beau
tiful Westmoreland tract was sold Mon
day. Not another foot of this splendid
property is to be had at any price-unless
some of the fortunate purchasers can be
induced to dispose of their holdings.
The first deed to a Westmoreland Tract
lot was recorded on Oct. /, 1903, a little
over two years ago-Since which time
every lot In the tract has been sold, ag-
gregating more than half a million dollars,
or upwards of twenty-five hundred dollars
lot.
Some of the lots that originally sold for
$1,000 have since changed hands for con-
most of the purchasers In Westmoreland
Tract bought for homes-as Is evidenced
by the fact that something like seventy
handsome residences have already been
completed, while a number OF others are
in course of construction.
One of the remarkable features about
the sale OF the Westmoreland Tract prop
erty is that less than one per cent OF the
sales was spent for advertising, the pub
licity having been handled by the Read
Advertising Agency.
1t is understood that Clark q Bryan in
tend putting their magnificent Westmore-
land Place on the market just as soon as
they complete the work OF improving and
beautifying the grounds.
There are only seventy lots in West
moreland Place-each lot 100 by 200 feet
the whole enclosed by ornate iron fences

Taken together the two Westmoreland

Dixie THOMPSON RANCH SOLD
Los Angeles Firm Secures Valuable

VENTURA, oct. 31.-The great Dixie
Thompson ranch has at last been sold.
The Phillips company of Los
Angeles. who are heavy stockholders
In The Ventura Water, Light and Power
company. has purchased the property.
II has been known for some time that
the Adams-P Phillips company have been
thinking of making the purchase, but It
was only through being compelled to
do so to protect their interests here
that they decided to buy. What the
outcome OF the purchase of this the
largest lima bean ranch I'm the world,
will be, is not known. 1t is surmlsed,
however. that It will be divided into
small tracts and placed upon the mar
ket. The company, which owns and
controls the water of the Ventura river,
from which this city gets its water,
will extend its pipe lines to the ranch,
which Joins Ventura on the east, and
thus put the land under irrigation.
The sale and division of this tract
of 2400 acres of as fine land as can be
found in California means much to
this city. The fact that Dixie Thomp-
son, during his lifetime, would not
divide his property has always been
considered a great hindrance to the
growth of the city. Houses are built
right up to the very line, but it was
impossible to go farther
A rumor was current here yesterday
to the effect that the Standard Oil COM
pany was about to commence the erec-
tion of a wharf just east of the present
one, to be used exclusively for the
handling of their product. Nothing
authentic could be learned, but 1t has
been known for some time that such a
movement has been contemplated.
