SIERRA VISTA LOTS
GO AT EASY PRICES
United Land and Water Company
Will Hold Another Auction
Sale Tomorrow
Special to The Herald.

Special TO The Herald
OCEAN PARK, April 10.-The United
Land and Water company, owners of
the new and model townsite of Sierra
VISTA on oregon avenue, between
Santa Monica and Sawtelle, were some
what disappointed in the sale which
they had last Saturday, which is ac.
counted for by the fact that about so
per cent of the advertising was not
carried out according to contract.
There was a little over $4,000 worth
of property sold, however. which was
considered very good considering the
small number of prospective buyers
present. Many OF the lots were sacri-
feed, others brought fair prices, but
as a whole the total amount realized
was insignificant considering the prices
asked for nearby property.
A second auction of lots IN this
tract will be held beginning at 10 a. m.
tomorrow and the company has made
arrangements to furnish transporta-
tion, lunch and music to those who at
tend.
Further particulars and free tickets
can be had today at the real estate Of
fees of A. f. Webster & Co., SO2 Mason
building, Los Angeles.

HIS MARKSMANSHIP GOOD
Secretary Loeb Returns to Glenwood
Springs and Reports That MIR.
Roosevelt Is Enjoying
Royal Sport
BY Associated rress.

! BY Associated Press.
! GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo, April
20.-That President Roosevelt is enjoy
ing royal sport in his hunt for Rocky
mountain grizzlies Is attested by Sec.
retary Loeb, who returned from the
camp late today after having spent
the night with the party. While the
only game pulled down thus far is the
bear shot by the president and bob cat
shot by DR.. Alexander Lambert there
has been plenty of sport. Every day
the dogs have followed trails that
looked promising, showing that there
are more bears to be found in the
vicinity now being hunted. Camp will
not be moved until Saturday. Then
the party will locate on'the West Di-
vide creek within twenty miles of the
present location and four miles nearer
New Castle. The point toward which
the party is working is Red Stone,
The private car Rocket will pick up
the president there and he will spend
the night at Glenwood Springs. The
start home will be made on May Is,
with stops of one day each at Denver
and Chicago.
Secretary Loeb brings an interesting
story of the killing of the bear. The
dogs had several times caught up with
the bear and had annoyed him until he
was in a vicious mood Finally when
he was at bay two or three members
of the party, including the president.
came up with the dogs. One dog had
been killed and several others badly
wounded and the bear was playing
havoc with the others that were haras-
sing him. To save the dogs the presi-
dent had to shoot hurriedly. Every
sweep of the bears paws bowled over n
hound, and rather than see more of
the pack killed the president took the
chance of shooting between the dogs
at the bear. He fired once and hit the
animal in the shoulder. Firing again
he killed his game. He takes great
pride in the first trophy of the hunt.

express more tltly the eloquence

solemn.

and social life of the time, to lure
them into unbelief and the devil"

"At the same time 1 do not say give

"In Great Britain we are solving our
evils by this very thing 1 am asking
you to adopt: church federation. I
