The topographic maps of the United States geological survey have gained wide popularity in the last nine years. Whereas only S6,964 maps were dis tributed in 1895, there were 50l, ITS maps sent out in 1904. These were dis tributed as follows: Through retail sale, 47,9O6; through wholesale sale, 293, ,653; through members of congress, 27,9s7; to libraries and institutions, 75, ll2; for official use 57, IT. Although the retail price of each map is only five cents and the wholesale price but two cents, the considerable sum of ss, ,976.36 was received for maps. This merely defrays the cost of the press. work and does not pay for the paper on which the maps are printed or for the expense of distributing them.

by the courts we would go out there
and tear up the tracks If they were
laid" said Mr.. Goudge. land on this
understanding the railway company
secured an order of court restraining
us from such action. Had the company
been operating under any valid agree
ment with the council the injunction
would not have been necessary. We
were simply held in leash until the
court dissolved the injunction and then
we did what we threatened to do. We
we're no longer restrained by the courts,
and so we tore up the tracks. 1t was
merely the continuance of an operation
begun two years ago.
Had we not made these threats there
would have been nothing for the su-
prene court to decide. If we told the
railway company that we had no in
tention of tearing UP their tracks. the
whole thing would have ended right
there. But we did make the threats
and we fulfilled them just as soon as
we could"
A number of the councilmen held
meeting in the office of Councilman
Blanchard yesterday afternoon, and 1t
is believed that the case was then dis
cussed and some conclusion arrived at.

DOOR Of HOPE IS
HOME FOR GIRLS
MANY UNF0RTUNATES FIND
SHELTER
Given instruction in Sewing, Cooking,
Housekeeping, and Nearly All Be-
come Respectable, Self
Supporting Women

Hundreds of young unfortunate girls
in Los Angeles and in the cities of the
neighborng counties find a good home
at the Door of Hope, located at 119
North DAILY street.
Hardly a week passes but some young
girl who has at some time in her life
met misfortune and trouble finds her
way to this institution. According to
the authorities there they not only find
a good home but a place where their
education may go on.
Their instruction is along the lines of
sewing, cooking, housekeeping and in
the carrying out of the ideas of prac-
tical Christian usefulness. AS a gen
eral rule young girls who find their
way to that institution develop into
respectable self-supporting women and
often take up the work of the institu-
tion in other parts of the state
Many of the unfortunate girls who
are brought each week to the Door of
Hope find their way there through the
efforts of Miss Steele, the Travellers
Aid guard at the Southern Pacific sta
ton. But all over the city there are
many women who have taken a great
interest in the Daily street home and
women there.
Business men also, actuated by Chris
tian motives, do much in furtherine
the mission of the Door of Hope.
The police are much praised by the
directors of the institution for guiding
many wayward girls to its doors. Oc-
casionally young girls come there OF
their own volition. The latter often
bring the most pitiful tales with them
and to visitor Matron Bell can tell
many heartrending tales which she has
CLEANED from these young women who
have come there in this fashion.
The Door of Hope has now been estab-
lished a little more than three years
and is supported by the public. Many
of the girls who have found their way
there are now married. Several OF
them have been placed in responsible
positions in the institution.
Mrs. j. E. Bonsley, who was matron
of the home for nine years until August
"a, when she resigned because of ill
ness, is one of the most noted rescue
workers in the city.

chad NO RECALL PETITION"
DECLARES JOE MARG0LIS
EIGHTH WARD POLITICIAN SAYS
TROUBLE is BREWING
Opponent of Councilman HeaIy Says
Another Meeting Will Be Held, at
Which Only Residents of the Ward
Will Be Present

"Jos Bellue who has been acting as
chairman Of the Eighth ward Healy
recall committee of five, unintentional-
ly placed me in an unfortunate position
yesterday by allowing the Information
to get abroad that l had a recall petit
tion in my shop to which no signatures
had been attached" said Joe Margolis
Yesterday. when this information
reached the voters of the ward they
accused me of having been bought by
the Southern Pacific in order that no
one might sign 1t.
81 have had no petition in my shop
nor anywhere else. If Joe Bellue had
any petitions to circulate he must have
kept them in his pocket for saw
none in any part of the ward ana do
not believe any are being circulated.
1--WE are not going about this bust
ness in this way. What we are doing
is being done secretly and it is possible
that before very long we will make
public everything that has been ac-
complished in the ward since last
Tuesday night. When we are ready to
tell what we have done those who be-
ieve that the movement is dead will
probably be astonished. There are peo-
pie in this thing who have not been
mentioned and whom no one suspects
of being interested.
1--WE have to work quietly and secret
ly because there are railroad agents all
over the ward, who would try to spoil
our plans if they became known. Next
Tuesday night we will have meeting
and it will not be like the one last
Tuesday night. 1t will be an Eighth
ward meeting and we will then prob
ably let it be known what we have
done.
IF we bring this thing to recall
there will be a good candidate for
Barney Healy's job. We haven't got
money enough to get in and elect any
body that we might choose to put up
so we must have strong man. But
those who have been mentioned as
candidates are mile away. 1t will
not be Tom Savage, nor Ben Groves
nor E. L. Hutchinson. The man for
the place has been selected and he will
be made known at the proper time. .

"TerriIps" Grand Opening

The shopping event of the week
among hundreds who feasted their
eyes upon modish garments and made
purchases was the grand opening at
"Terrills," the popular dressmaker At
33S and $40 South Hill street. The
lovely gowns and garments, beautiful
and gorgeous, were lavishly displayed
in elegant taste. In the display were
fetching gowns, evening wraps and
empires from the following celebrated
Partisan houses: Paquin, Templier,
Raudnitz, Beers, Doucet and Drecoll.
Terrill has only the newest things and
the elaborate display was not only
artistic and beautiful but was probably
one of the most costly exhibitions ever
shown in Los Angeles.
Among the attractive garments were
pale blue chiffon velvet gown
heavily embroidered in blue and ma
hogany; an elegant gown of silver
cloth, all hand embroidered with gar
lands of roses, a dull yellow satin EN-
broidered in brown, with garlands of
roses, which produces beau
tiful and artistic effect; peacock
spangle gown from Drecoll, and gowns
of cloth and silver and silver lace
combined that won universal admira
ton and praise for their elegance and
beauty. In the collection were also
spangle dresses, chiffon gowns, empire
cloaks, lace cloaks, embroidered gowns,
and beautiful wraps of every descrip-
ton, as well as nobby tailored suits
and leather automobile coats.

BRITANNIA TO JAPAN

Over the hundred years gone by
Voices are borne on the sea:
I'VE have warred our wars, ye have cried
our cry,
Ye have conquered, even as We"
Tyranny darkened our western light
CTwas a hundred years ago.,
When our fathers sailed for the fateful
fight
And struck the all saving blow,
Tyranny grasped at your island throne,
Darkened your realm of the sun;
But your signal today has been Nelson S
own,
And his. word on your warships won.
Ye have learned our lore of the glorious
seas,
Ye have proved it pure and true;
But your faithful vigil, your scorn of
ease
God grant that we learn them of you!

There is the herd of cattle from some

With the fencing of the range the
general roundup becomes more difficult.
In the days of the few big outfits" and
fewer brands it was far more simple.
Now there are often dozen to twenty
mess wagons with riders with each
wagon and with riders ''reping" (rep-
resenting) other brands to the number
of 30 or 40. The movements of the gen
eral roundup" are therefore ponderCus
and not unlike the movements of an
army.
At the general roundup now are
representatives of scores of individ.

have scattered the cattle from the
Grand river, near North Dakota, to the
Keya Paha river in Nebraska and all
the cattle must be found and each
brand cut out" to be driven to his
summer pasture or to market. With
the influx of settlers, hundreds of new

this will still Iurther complicate the
"roundups" for the cattlemen.
The biggest fenced pasture of the Da-
kota range now is that of the Lennon
outfit whose brand is "L7" and whose
pasture comprises $4,000 acres of
Cheyenne and Standing Rock Indian
lands. At times 10000 head of the "L7''
brand of steers have grazed within its
fences. One could ride a week across

1--WE will have trains running from
Pierre to the Black Hills in year." they
said. Big crews of engineers were hur-
ried into the field like skirmish line
of an advancing army. Levels were rsu
over an old survey, changes were made,
permanent stakes driven from Pierre
up the sinuous valley of the Bad, across
the divide to the Cheyenne valley and
up a creek valley to the divide again
where it followed Box Elder creek to
Rapid City.
Forthwith the drama of pioneer DAYS
was on at Pierre. Homesteaders chose
and filed on their claims, returned to
their homes through eastern South Da-
kota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and the
east and soon the cars arrived loaded
with lumber and cattle and furniture.
Then the historic Deadwood trail
west from Pierre began to TEEN with the
wagons and the herds OF those going to
new home further west" Each day
the numbers grew larger. When spring
arrives the Deadwood trail will see new

TOR a couple of hours Trevoe had
been solitarily smoking in his
compartment, at each stop scanning
the platform anxiously, and afterward
making a careful perambulation of the
corridor. He was tired already. which,
seeing that he was travelling from the
west to town, made the rest of the
journey look black as night. The
train was unusually empty. His in
vestigations had proved barren OF
promise.

of luggage being tossed into the rack

from the next compartment and turned
the handle. The train started.
In the far corner girl sat-a nurse
evidently. The costume became her

after the former dullness, as the
leaves become a rose. Her eyes were
downcast, studying the toe of her
right shoe attentively. When he
passed a second time, they were raised
and met his with curiosity which an
swered his own. He returned to his
own quarters and waited.
After time the lady came into the
corridor to take the air; soon sim.

direction. They met face to face. He
stood aside to let her pass.

He was deeply interested in this
young person, who was so perfectly

Better Goods.

1t is not the relative cost Of dozen
quarts of tomatoes or peaches or pears
which are home-canned or purchased
from the grocer that so much concerns
the consumer. 1t is question of get
ting stuff to eat that you have put up
yourself, know what constitutes 1t and
that it is pure and wholesome instead
of probably half-green material, likely
colored with coal tar dyes, and all in
all unnutritious, If not actually hurt
full to the digestive system. The
chances are, says the Michigan Farmer,
that If you figure your time and trouble
as anything, the home product will
cost good deal more than the store
goods, but the comparison of the values
of the two is as night is to day.

WHO WILL BE FIRST TO GET INTO
A GREAT NEW FIELD.
PASSING OF THE UNFENCED RANGE
The Building of New Lines Lures the Pioneer.
Revives the Scenes of Early Days and
Warns the Cowboy That the Free
Range Will Soon Be Ended.

Homestake mine at Lead direct to the
state capital, Pierre, and to the lusty
towns and cities which have sprung up
on the railroad lines which for score
of years paused at the Missouri river.
Soon the coal in Wyoming will be sent
by direct routes to the stores and boilers
of the coalless regions east of the Mis-
souri,. Soon the long drives of sheep
and cattle from the ranches will be of
the past. The fenceless range is being
fenced and the roundups soon will be
within pasture posts and wires.
The Milwaukee & st. Paul has built
so miles of line west of Chamberlain.
Its line has been located to White Clay
Buttes. Its engineers are scouting for
permanent line from White Clay
Buttes to the hills. 1t will be close to
the north wall of the Bad Lands, the
region of weird mystery to scientist and
to cowboy and Indian.
In advance of the trains over the new
lines hundreds or possibly thousands of
new settlers poured through Chamber
lain during 1905. Some homesteaders
sold their claims and they were sold and
resold several times in many cases.
other land, still opened to entry, was

land plowed for crops, harvested enor-

tables from the new ground. Abundant
rains aided the rush, for newcomers

Intense excitement prevails in the
Black Hills and vicinity over the un-
certainties as to the route which will
be followed. Will it pass the hills at
the north as the Elkhorn line of the
Northwestern now does, or at the south
through valleys which the government
engineers propose to irrigate? That is a
| question.
The Northwestern extension came as
an abrupt surprise. Throughout the
summer the Milwaukee's work was be.
ing rushed and hundreds OF men and a
track-laying machine were busy. Ii
was believed the Milwaukee would only
push a spur line to secure cattle and
sheep shipments beyond the zone of set
tiers fences.
Suddenly Northwestern officials an
nounced that 100000 tons of steel for
