The writer sat by her side and often talk ed with her about the future. She was willing to go, but felt sad to leave her young, tender, broken hearted husband. She fingered only few months with hasty consump tion. She died at MT. and Mrs. D. Runners where she had the kindest attention, all that money and loved ones could do. She died like all the good of the earth die: In the triumph of living faith in Jesus Christ.

Fruit Growers Meet.

Quite number of fruit growers met at the Mayors office on last Sat urdav and perfected an organization fo be known as the Fruit Growers Union. The officers are D. W. Dakon, Presidents: ]. T. Cralg, secretary; J. A. Richer, A. J. Philips, B. E. Sni- der. J. c. Gerig, and J. J. Hill were chosen directors, MT. Wm. Claypool, general manager. There were 34 members present who signed the arti- cle of agreement and for the benefit of those who have not joined yet, who may wish to know our motives tor forming such an organlzatlon we can eheerfully ask you to come to our meeting at the Mayors office next Saturday, the 7th, inst, at ten O clock, a. m and we will explain our objects fully to you. The time is here gentle men when the grower has got to get upand do something for himself and not trust alone to others to take care of his interests for him. ''There is nothing which succeeds like success, :" and if you want to make success in the fruit business you must get down to business principles. That is what our organization is for. We are going to get out of that careless way of do- ing business and do it right. Our oply salvation lies in raising and grad ing our fruit in a thorough and Sys- tematic manner, so as to get for our selves and the Association the title of honest dealing and then sell our fruit upon it's merits and sell on the track at this end of the line and stop eonsigning to commission men and getting back here barely expenses for picking and crating. Why we need not expect any thing else only to be swindled and cheated out of our stuff just so long as we send It off to other men with no guaranty Of protection, and trust them to send US back just what their conscience will not allow them to keep and we have about con- cmded that their conscience is worn almost threadbare, from our returns. No, brother fruit grower, if we don't get things to running different from what they have been in the past we have surely got to get out of business, for I'll tell you we can't subsist upon air and sunshine much longer-and if you are not satisfied with present con- ditions be sure and come to our meet ing next Saturday, January !, at 10 1 o'clock in the morning.

AN UNFORTUNATE TRIP.

The excursion train to Natural
Bridge, on Sunday, seems to have
been an unfortunate one for two
of its passengers.
On the return trip, when out
beyond Lexington, one of the
passengers, whose name we could
not learn, fell from the train and
was lost to view as the accident
was not noticedsfor some time.
Just this side of Midway, man
by the name of John Rollins, who
lives near Jetts, was standing in
the door of the baggage car, when
he lost his balance and fell. His
absence was not made known
until too late for the return of the
train. He was, however, picked
up by freight train which fol-
lowed closely upon the excursion
tain, and was found to have had
his knee cap broken and was other
wise bruised, but not dangerously

his wife certainly are the right
people in the right place.

INCREASES TRAIN SERVICE
Santa Fe Road Puts on New Equip
ment to Grand CANYON

In the future, tourists and Angelo
nos are to be given better opportuni-
ties than heretofore for visiting the
Grand Canyon. Beginning January
Is, the Santa Fe railroad will put into
service on it's Overland train, spe-
cial car which will be run directly
through to the canyon. This makes
1t possible to leave Los Angeles one
morning and be at the Canyon hotel
twenty-four hours later.
Friday, the Al Tovar hotel at the
canyon will be opened to the public
with accommodations far surprising
those which tourists have enjoyed in
the past. The hotel contains 100
rooms and in many respects is the
most uniquely constructed hotel in
the country. 1t is built entirely of
rough, unchiseled sand stone of the
locality, and huge unhewn pine trees.
The back-woods effect, made promi-
nent by the exterior is followed out
in the furnishing of the interior, and
although there is present every known
convenience which goes to make up
the modern hotel, the rustic effect is
carried out to the most minute de-
tail.
The increasing interest in trip to
the canyon has necessitated a more
frequent time service on the canyon
line than formerly, and with the be-
ginning of next week the service will
be doubled. This will enable tourists
and Angelenos on their way to Los
Angeles to leave the canyon at
o'clock one morning and arrive in Los
Angeles at 8 o'clock the next morning

terial changes in the new building or
dinance which. drafted by special
commission of architects, was passed
as one of the last official acts Of the
retiring council.
One of the provisions Of the ordi-
nance is that there shall be commits
sion of master plumbers appointed by
the mayor and which shall examine
every contractor entering into the bus
iness From the decision Of this board
there is no appeal.
The man who has brought to public
notice the fact that by this ordinance
power almost absolute power, Is put
in the hands of the Master Plumbers
association is j. w. Hellman, one of
the few contractors not a member of
the association. Mr.. Hellman, through
his attorneys, Lawler, Van Dyke
Allen, will attempt to have the ordi-
nance as It now stands. declared void.
Mr.. Hellman declares the building

LEWIS HAS EARNED RIGHT
TO MEET JIMMY BRITT
Clever Philadelphia Lightweight Has
Fought and Won 19 Battles Since
May, Scorinq 10 knockouts

Not only local sports but followers
of the boxing game all over the
country are Specializing on who will
be the next man to meet Jimmy Britt.
Since it seems impossible to find a
man to stand up and make any kind
of fight against Jeffries, attention has
naturally centered upon the little
champion.
Laying aside Battling Nelson, the
next most logical candidate is Willie
Lewis, according to reports on the
sport in the roped arena. Lewis re-
Gently defeated Martin Canole and has
challenged Britt. He is not yet 20
years old, weighs 1873 pounds and stands
& feet inches high.
In 1900 he began his career as a pro-
fessional boxer when only boy Of 16,
but for two years he ranked as one of
the best featherweights in the busi-
ness. After meeting several reverses
he decided he needed a rest in 1903 and
quit the game for more than a year.
when he re-entered the ring in the
lightweight division and engaged in his
first bout last May with George Krall.
whom he stopped in the second round,
breaking his ribs.
Since that time he has met nineteen
men in the ring, all but two of the
battles taking place in Philadelphia.
OF these two one was at Baltimore,
where he knocked out Kid Critic in
eight rounds. The other was with
Canole at Portland, Ore, last Monday.
OF the nineteen fights he has won all,
ten with clean knockouts, eight of the
ten inside of six rounds. In Philadel-
phia Lewis is known as the rib
smasher."
Out Of about sixty fights Lewis has
lost three. One to Rufe Turner at San
Francisco, when Lewis was but lad
OF 16; the others to Billy Gardiner and
Joe Tipman. He has since met and
knocked out Tipman in five rounds.

GAP NARROWS ON
SALT LAKE ROAD
LESS THAN SEVEN MILES YET
TO BE BUILT
Telegraph Line Completed and op-
orator In Los Angeles Sends the
First Message over Wire
to Mormon City

At noon yesterday the two lines Of
steel which are to bind together Los
Angeles and Salt Lake city were just
Sc miles apart, and with construction
gangs working at both ends 1t is the
hope of the officials of the San Pedro.
Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad
that the last spike may be driven on or
before January 25.
The unbridged strip of six miles
commences about twenty miles cast sc
the California state line, and the char
acter Of the country is such that con-
siderable grading will have to be done
before the rails can be laid.
Hitherto the construction companies
have been working in a locality where
there were few obstacles to be met,
and their progress was rapid, averag-
ing a mile q day.
With the completion of the line
construction train will be the first to
pass over the road from Los Angeles
to the other terminal point.
Tuesday night the telegrapher at the
Los Angeles station of the San Pedro,
Los Angeles and Salt Lake road sig
nailed to the operators at other sta
tions to give him clear line. and over
77S miles of wire telegraphod the first
message to Salt Lake City.
An answering click of the key told
that the message had been received,
and for the first time the Salt Lake
roads telegraph line was in working
order form terminal to terminal
The line was completed from River
side to Caliente a year ago, and from
the Salt Lake City end that portion Of
the system has been in working order
as far as Caliente since the completion
of the short line. 1t is only during the
present week that a construction gang
which has been working for the past
several months was enabled to string
the wire which made the line unbroken
from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City.
In the work of construction 163,3S0
pounds of copper wire and 1880 tele-
graph poles have been needed for the
of the line.
