One of our merchants yesterday complained of the way some of our town ordinances are enforced His complaint was that he was com pelled to pay merchants license to sell goods in the town and that travelling salesmen come here, take orders and deliver similar goods without cost. The kick is a good one and the ordinance should be enforced regarding these salespeo pie. The ordinance was passed to protect the local merchant. Now let's protect them.

HONE
Real Estate
Company

The Home Real Estate Company OF Los
Angeles organized about three years ago,
and Ia one of the most extensive operators
In Southern California. The name OF
this company corresponds we'll with the
nature of it's dealings in real estate IN
and around the city. The organization
consists of C, H. Minton, president W. H'
Allen. vice president; A. w. Ellingtons
secretary, and r. M. Allen and ]. V. Bald
win. The company occupy extensive Ole
foes at Nos 223 and 224 Douglas block.
They do a general real estate business
and make a speciality of handling suour"
ban tracts. They buy and sell all de-
scriptions of real estate on their own
account, and do commission business
In real estate, loans and investments or
a general nature and deal on large
scale. Their various interests in hand in-
clude seven splendid tracts, two of these
being suburban to Los Angeles, and two
that may be classed with the ocean re-
sorts because of their nearness to the
beach, though all being city suburban
additions, the first of these being Gem
trail Avenue Home Tract No. 1, comprise
ing 217 lots; the second, c. A. III. Tract
No 2, with 1856 lots; the third South Park
Avenue Home Tracts Nos. 1 and 2, with
1874 lots. all of which have been sold and
the purchasers are whenever they desire)
reselling at a handsome profit. Then was
taken Ocean Park Place, 103 lots; all sold,
MANY of which have. doubled in price.
The fifth was East Ocean Park, compris.
ing 100 acres, and subdivided as 60 resi-
dence lots, 60 half-acre lots and 100 one.
acre lots, all highly improved and abun-
dance of water, over half of which have
heen sold, The last subdivision put on
the market by this company is the Day.
ton Avenue Home Tract, which comprises
a beautiful stretch fronting 100 feet on
the south side of Dayton avenue running
west from Avenue Twenty-six to the
river. Every lot lies from one to three
feet above the street. which Is highly
improved The Garvanza car line runs
along Dayton avenue the entire length of
this property and is only fifteen minutes
from Third and Spring streets. This
property is not being forced on the mar
ket, as the company feel that its near
ness to the business center assures it's
future value as residence property for
the man of moderate means who may
want home close to his l work or nusi5 isS
somewhat from their business of selling
vacant lots, as they are building on this
up-to date, which they will sell on very
reasonable terms, and no man can afford
to pay rent while these houses are on
the market. There are already three OF
these houses completed and ready for
occupancy. The Home Real Estate Co.
also own several pieces of choice inside
vacant property, which they bought some
time ago at their value and offer them
today on their merits. Their motto. is:
"Give every man square deal" which
they have done, as their reputation will
bear out in this and other communities
in which the members of the firm have
lived.

LOVE INSPIRES FAITH
That Is Why the creduIlty Of Woman
Is Amazing


Chairman Shonts. of the Isthmian
canal commission, said of famous
engineer the other day:
Like many another great man, he
has simple and childlike mind. A
baby could take him in. He has the
credulity of a woman"
Mr.. Shonts smiled.
1.-The credulity of woman" he said
"The credulity of mother. wife, a
sweetheart. Is there anything on earth
to equal that rare and wonderful faith I
But to illustrate womap's credulity
"A young man entered the drawing
room of the girl whom he was soon ia
marry.
THE girl came down to meet him
with a severe frown on her pretty face
John, she said, father saw you this
morning going into a pawnbroker's
with large bundle
"Jonn flushed. Then he said in low
voice:
"'Yes, that is true. I was taking the
pawnbroker some Of my old clothes
You see. he and his wife are frightfully
hard up
"'Oh, Jack, forgive me- exclaimed
the young girl. How truly noble you
are"

Special Correspondence Of The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-One of the
most important practical tests Of the
municipal idea will be made this fall
by the metropolis. Then the city will
inaugurate thoroughly equipped and
haitian island and Staten island, now
the boroughs respectively of Manhat-
tan and Richmond.
This municipality owned and operated
ferry line will succeed the present ram
shackle and antiquated service which
for gears has retarded the proper
growth of Staten island as residence
section. rive of the finest passenger
ferry boats ever constructed now are
about ready to go into commission,
some of them even having been put
through their trial PAGES and found full
ly to justify all that has been expected
of them. AS soon as the terminals are
completed at the foot of Whitehall
street in Manhattan and at st. George
in State island, the service will be in
stalled.
Collectively the feet has cost $685.
500, and to those in the habit Of using
q ferry the boats will come as a reve-
lation. Each of the big boats can ac-
commodate 5000 persons comfortably
and on a pinch each can take care OF
an additional 1000, as only two decks
are to be used at first. The boats are
named after the five boroughs of the
greater city, Manhattan, Brooklyn
Bronx, Queens and Richmond.
The.new boats practically are unsink-
able, ais each hull is subdivided so as
to make seven absolutely watertight
compartments, any three of which
could be flooded without affecting tbs
seaworthiness of the vessel. The hulls
are of steel, and the propellers are OF
wonderful power. Each boat has an
extreme length of 250 feet. and an ex-
treme breadth Of 66 feet. For ferry
boats the vessels are remarkably or
nate, resembling, in this respect, the
smaller ocean liners.
Only four of the regular playhouses
are open, two of them having continued
their productions uninterruptedly al
summer. Then there are three of the
big roof gardens going. At all of the
other two score of important theaters
companies are rehearsing, two or three
companies in a theater. In addition
practically every one of the available
halls in the heart of the town have
been engaged for the same purposes
In these places actor-folk are working
like slaves on barren stages before

Conductor Met His Match

Col Sanders was q passenger on one
of the Montana railroads at one time.
He had an annual pass on the road
but on this occasion he had left 1t ut
home. He had Travelled the same route
many times before and was well known
to the conductor. When the official
came around for tickets the colonel
told him of his forgetfulness. The con-
ductor, however, was obdurate; he
must have ticket or money. The col
onel, rather than have a scene, finally
pulled out IS bill, which was ample
to cover the expense of his trip. Ii
was a very ragged affair-all torn and
pasted.
That's a fine looking bill to give
me- growled the conductor.
Col. Sanders was by this time thor
oughly nettled.
"Well," he cried out in a voice that
could be heard all over the car, 'if you
don't like it turn 1t in to the COM
pany."
The laugh that went up was at the
expense Of the conductor.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-03

some good ideas and drifted to Eng
land, where he got some backing and
bought a few elephants. So successful
has he been on the other side that fire.
quent inducements to come back to
America have been rejected. Even now
his stay will be short.
This trainer is not the only one who
has served like apprenticeship before
becoming remarkably successful. A
man who washed dogs and groomed
horses in a pony show finally started
out for himself and recently, when he
died. left five touring dog and pony
circuses. One of the best troupes of
trained seals in the country is owned
by a man who had charge of the same
animals in the tanks of the old London
hippodrorne.
Coney Island this year has one of the
largest and best equipped stages in the
country. Its great oddly is that 1t Is
circular, the stage completely sur
rounding the auditorium so that en-
trance can be effected only from be-
meath.
The heavy scenes are mounted upon
trucks which run upon narrow rail-
ways, of which there are twenty on
the stage. The entire scene shifting IS
accomplished by electricity. At the
island there Is another scenic show pro-
duced through the manipulation of a
switchboard by man who never has
seen the effects he produces. At cer-
tain intervals he works the different
switches and thus produces display
of the elements which undoubtedly
would surprise him should he have an
opportunity to observe them.
Undoubtedly, the hot weather has
had much to do with it, if indeed it
has not been solely responsible. Any
way, the barkeepers of the town de-
clare that New York has a severe fit
of teetotalism.
On any afternoon or evening In any
one of the leading hotel cafes you will
see your OlQ WlHe uuyci, ih6Acoii
drinker or plain beer man ordering I'M
ported ginger ale, seltzer lemonade or
something equally harmless. Stimuli
ants have gone out of consideration to
remarkable extent.
The New Yorker, always steady
although moderate drinker with re-
gard for his health and department,
has come to the conclusion that alco-
hol is no good thing in hot weather.
Hence the shift.
A feature of the everyday life OF
the Waldorf Astoria is the display
from the Fifth avenue front of the
building of the home flag of any diplo-
mat or distinguished citizen who hap
pens to be sheltered within it's walls.
This compels the hotel to keep in
stock the flags of all nations under the
sun and they are handsome large silk
banners, too.
Within the present month the sun of
Japan, the Union Jack Of Britain, the
flags of Spain, Persia, Brazil and many
other countries have been displayed.

wastes OF empty, canvas-covered seats,
going over plays which will not be seen
in public until some time in September.
The studios of the scenic artists and
the factories Of the costumers are be-
ing pushed to their utmost. From the
busy appearance of such prosaic places
1t is evident that the managerial end
of the theatrical world will plunge into
the coming season undismayed by the
phenomenal losses which were sus-
tained last year.
Catching a 575-pound turtle on a
fshhook sounds so much like a yarn
of the season that a modest chronicler
hesitates to offer it to an unsuspecting
public. However, as it is a woman who
declares she made the catch it is hardly
polite to raise any questions so the
facts" are submitted just as the fish
erwoman allowed them to get to the
world at large.
1t all happened on Jamaica bay, of
the shoals of Rockaway inlet, and the
woman was Mrs. Edward Morrison
She was fishing, accompanied by hal
husband, who also takes the prescribed
oath of affirmation to the yarn. There
came a tug at the line Mrs. Morrison
was holding and as she started to pull
It in there came yank which nearly
sent her out of the boat. Then fol-
lowed a struggle lasting more than an
hour, at the end of which time Mr.
Morrison had rowed to the beach and
the fsherwoman had her first glimpse
of what was on the line.
When the turtle got to shallow water
he promptly scampered up on the
beach and showed a determination to
fight. but soon the crowd had him on
his back. On the scales he weighed
five times as much as his captor.
For the first time in thirty years q
century plant has bloomed in Central
park. The blossom lived only few
days, but in that time thousands of per-
sons viewed it at the Center house, al
Fifth avenue and One Hundred and
Fifth street. The last previous bios
soming of a century plant in Central
park was near McGowan's pass tavern
The plant which bloomed was one OF
a dozen In the hothouse and six of the
others are large like the one which
blossomed. Two months ago a horn
like sprout appeared on the plant and
this rapidly developed into shaft
which for two weeks grew at the rate
of four and one-half inches a day
Afterwards the growth was less rapid
Then the first blossoms opened on a
shaft fourteen feet high. The BIOS
SONS were like punches of coarse moss
and the size of goose eggs. They were
a dingy green in color. After bios
soming the century plant dies.

courage experiments in irrfgating land
Tor agricultural purposes.
In exchanging this land, the act Of
congress requires that a thirty days
notice shall be made by the party seek
Ing to exchange, making public the
specific parcel of land which 1t is de-
sired shall be granted in lieu of the
specific parcel of land surrendered.
In Mr.. Jones' office in Topeka hum
dreds of applications have been pre-
pared specifying the lands desired to
be had in lieu of those surrendered.
These applications must be published
and a thirty days notice thereby given
before the transactions may be COM
pleted- Consequently these notices are
being printed in a New Mexico paper
of limited circulation in an unostnta-
tious manner. Already nearly 5000 ap-
plications for exchange have been pub
Hshed.
If any person sees advertised in one
land which he desires, and protests the
Fe, on the grounds that the land is
more valuable for mineral purposes
than for agricultural purposes, the ex-
change may be blocked.
The San Francisco mountains is a
range which lies to the north OF and
parallels the Santa Fe main line Of
railroad in Arizona, just east of the
branch line Of railroad which branches
off at Williams to the Grand Canyon.
The lands which are being secured
in exchange are selected in various To-
calities, and the best of che unoccupied
surveyed public lands are being chosen.
