ENDING Nov. 30. 1904.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen.
l beg leave to report as follows:
Taking all the circumstances into
consideration, your business is in
good and satisfactory condition.
Business has been less than in former
years, partly owing to the poor pas
tures-very few COWS doing as we'll
as in former years and part
ly owing &c the introduction of hand
separators in part of our territory,
thereby breaking up part of our
milk routes. The buildings and
machinery are in tirst-class condi-
ton. We have built shed with
sliding doors, and enclosed the re-
ceiving shed with sliding doors for
the protection of the milk haulers
and teams. We have replaced the
old cream vat with a new, up-to-date
ripener, at a cost of $3.50; a new
pump at a cost of $50; new but
ter print, $50; and a starter can for
$50. The assets and liabilities are
as follows:

Though butterflies and moths are
found widely distributed all over the
globe they are by far most abundant
in the tropics. For instance, Brazil can
show to the collector not less than 100
different species within an hours walk
Of Para. There are not half as many
In all Europe. In Britain there are 81
species, and in oil Europe there are $50
different kinds. They are found as far
north as spitzbergen, on the Abs to a
height Of 0.0OO feet and on the Andes
up to $1,000 feet. AS there are some
100000 species it is ensy to see why
butterfly hunters are great travellers.

HERALD STORY GIVES cLEW

What has become Of william H.
Roberts, the coachman who drove the
carriage in which President Roosevelt
rode upon the occasion of his visit to
Los Angeles in 1902
Anxious parents in England are seek
ing to locate their boy, and their de-
clining years are shadowed with the
sorrow of his absence and silence.
Yesterday morning a letter from the
father, Thomas Roberts, dated at II
Liant street, Southwark, London, was
received at The Herald office. Enclosed
was clipping from The Herald o.
May 6, 1908, sent home by the son, con-
tanning report of the visit of the
president and a photograph of the car
riage and team with young Roberts
sitting upon the drivers seat.
For many months now past he has
neglected to write home and all efforts
at locating him have failed. The
parents request that search be made
for him and that he be requested TO
write them Immediately.
Young Roberts came to Los Angeles
in the fall of 1902 and was employed as
private coachman for time. Later
he was employed in the westlake
stables. He is no longer at the West
lake barns and no one connected with
the stables is able to furnish any In
formation regarding his whereabouts.
He was formerly coachman for Chi
cago millionaires before coming west
and was regarded as an expert in his
line. He was born in 1869 and speaks
with a decided English accent, dropping
and picking up his "h's," the true
cockney characteristic.
