TRANSFER OF INTERESTS
IN IMPERIAL COMPANIES
F. C. PauIin Now in Full Charge OF
Extensive Valley De-
veIopment

F. c. Paulin of the Imperial Land
company has sold to A. H. Heber of
the California Development company
all of his shares in the last named cor
poration. and Mr.. Heber has sold all of
his stock interest in the Imperial Land
company to Mr.. Paulin, who sewers his
connection with the California Devel-
opment company, and Mr.. Heber re-
tires from the Imperial Land COM
pany.
The general agency contract between
the California Development company
and Imperial Land company has been
surrendered and cancelled, and the con-
nection between the two corporations
has been entirely severed.
The California Development COM
pany, the owner of the Imperial canal
system. will, in the future, it is stated,
vigorously prosecute the completion OF
the system, and will not place upon
the market any new water shares for
the time being, but will assist the
Mexican company to colonize the lands
in Mexico and otherwise use its in
seekers.
The Imperial Land company, in sur
rendering its contract, has acquired a
block of water stock in the various mu-
tual water companies as now consti-
tuted, and will continue its colonization
work and dispose of said water shares
on it's own account. The Imperial Land
company, the owner of the towns now
established in the valley, will also ham
die it's town property and will use its
best endeavors to improve and build
up said towns.
The business of the two corporations
having been segregated, separate Off
ces will be maintained.
Mr.. Heber remains at the head of the
California Development company and
Mr.. Paulin assumes the control of the
Imperial Land company. Both will
continue to use their best efforts fol-
the upbuilding of the Imperial valley
on specific lines.

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Madame Francisca's Recital

Madam Fannie Francisco gave re-
ctal of operatic arias last evening be-
fore small audience in Simpson audi
torium. The program was one that
would test the powers of any great
prima donna, and it is not a severe
criticism, therefore, when it is said that
Madame Francisco was hardly equal
to the task of artistically interpreting
all the numbers.
Beginning with La Traviata," the
singer was heard in arias from LAX
me-" lie Pardon de Ploermel" and
Hamlet" In all these Madame Fran
cisca showed certain defects of method
that mar her melodious soprano voice.
Although she has a fine stage pres
ence, she is lacking in temperament
and dramatic feeling; but she is pleas
ing, for she has a middle register of
much beauty and her tones are full,
resonant and pure.
Signor Domenico Russo, who has re-
Gently returned from San Francisco,
divided the honors with Madame Fran
cisca. In the duet from Lucia di Lam
mermoor" he sang with the artistic fin
ish that enables him to make the most
of a tenor voice exquisite in quality
voice perfectly placed and wonder
fully smooth. Signor Russo has the
Italian temperament which colors all
his dramatic work. When he sang the
colo from "Rigoletto," the opera in
which he has won many triumphs. the
audience gave him most enthusiastic
recall. '

was not an inspiring accompanist. He
played three solos, one being "Phan-
TASTE" of his own composition.

the next two or three months, going
thence to Honolulu. He is making his

public affairs DIR. Boyd is a conspicu-
Gus figure in Missouri, where, as presi-
dent of the Civic Reform league, he

FRIENDS OF DUMB
ANIMALS TO MEET
TO AROUSE PUBLIC SENTIMENT
OVER CRUELTY
Suggest overcheck for Use of Drivers.
Say That Horses Are ~ Used
All Over the Entire
Country

Regarding the cruelty involved in the
prevailing overchecS which is used on
vast number of horses in many
states, and especially in cities, friend
of the horse puts the inquiry: why
on one and not on the other?" Meaning
why should not the man be compelled
to have his head and neck strained
backward when he walks or runs just
the same as the horse?
An Easterner said two days ago while
at the Arcade depot waiting for the
train to take him to his home in Mlchi-
gan:
There is to be a meeting here next
Thursday night to shake up public SEN
timent concerning the cruelty to ami
mails that prevails. wish 1 could at
tend that meeting. 1 am deeply in
terested in that very thing. Possibly
a fanatic, but l know the way horses
are often abused is disgracefuly cruel.
1t makes my blood boil to see the inno-
cent horses working for their owners
under such torturing conditions as the
overcheck. The docked tail is bad
enough, but the horrible strain on the
head and neck of the animal is much
worse. Nothing is more unnatural than
for a horse to put his head and neck
into such a position as is forced upon
him by the cruel overcheck. When a
fine horse is seen in a circus or at a
livestock exhibition, does his owner or
manager hamper the animal with
check-rein toggery? Hardly. On the
contrary the horse is sure to carry
his head and curve his neck in the
most graceful manner possible, as if to
win the admiration of all spectators.
Perhaps the most effective penalty
for legally stopping this kind of horse
persecution would be for the horse
owner to wear similar outfit. He
might be permitted to draw baby
wagon for the first few days, then a
one-horse buggy. and finally huge
work wagon. In either case he should
be on exhibition in the principal thor
oughfares of the city or town, so as to
be seen and appreciated by as many
people as possible A very few such
parades would soon abolish this now
prevalent habit of horse-torture-tot the
rejoicing of all right thinking men and
women"

JAPANESE ANSWER
COUNTRY'S CALL
Wall OF SORROW COMES FROM
ABROAD
Mikado's Subjects in Los Angeles
Go to the Aid of Widows and
Children of Deceased
kinsmen

A last call for resources has been
sent out from Japan. 1t reached Los
Angeles Sunday morning. AS a result
selling out" sign hangs in many of
the windows of local Japanese curlo
stores, while merchants, students art
lists and even ranchmen, who hail from
the mikado's land are giving the
the support of the relatives of their
deceased brothers in the far off be-
loved Nippon.
This last call is not for more
troops. The reserves are all in the
orient and Japan has no further call
for her sinews of war from her people
in this country. 1t is not an official
call. 1t is simply the wall of sorrow
from across the ocean, telling of the
hungry little mouths to feed and the
sorrowing widows to cheer in their
loneliness, and the little Niponese are
as ready with their cash as with their
lives" said missionary yesterday who
has spent the greater portion of his
life in the island kingdom. Money
may leave this country in large sums,
but it is for such a good and noble
cause that no complaint should be rails
ed. The money will be obtained in
many cases at a great sacrifice.
Yesterday a number of Japs were
seen depositing gold and silver in ex-
change for drafts on banks in the
mother country and all seemed cheer
many cases at great sacrifice"
Il have had two cousins in the
army" said one of the Jap merchants
They are now no more, but their
fight was against the forces of Kuro-
patkin and they died like men.
have at the present time brothers and
cousins in the army of Oyama, and
would have been with our general my
self had it not been that 1 was in this
country. One of my cousins left a
wife and six children-siX little mouths
to feed, and with the government in
the condition it is now. Therefore,
ii is our duty to give what we can.
Ir my case l am compelled to sell my
wares at a low figure, but we must
have all the ready cash we can get
and thus relieve the government of
that portion of the expense. All the
money in the kingdom is needed for
soldiers, and we intend to take care of
the helpless"
