SMALL FARMS AT FREEMAN
Important Plans for Settlement on
Redondo Electric Line-26o Acres
Bought for $4,000

Otis Lockhart of the Byrne building
has sold for j. S. Vosburg Of this city
26O acres of the east half of section
sixteen for $4,000 in round figures to
the following strong syndicate of
prominent business men: Walter Vail,
Dan Murphy, Edward Chambers, G. w.
Gates, II. r. Volmer and Alex. Mills.
This property is located near Freeman
station, on the Redondo electric, via
Inglewood, and joins the Hawthorne
company on the south. The tract has
a mile frontage on the car line and
is beautiful piece of land. 1t is the
intention of this new company to sub
divide in tracts of from one acre to
five acres; to develop water, grade
streets, etc. In fact, to spare no money
or pains to make this an ideal spot
for small farms for actual settlers, at
reasonable prices and terms. The pro-
moters of the enterprise believe that
the plan of subdivision as stated will
serve to meet the demand of a we'll
to-do class of Industrious people, who
seek small tracts for homes-acreage
that may be improved for the produc-
tion of paying crops.

provements in Los Angeles, substantial
evidence to homeseekers and investors
that the city is expanding at mar
Velous pace.
The total number of official building

pnents authorized. The last two bust
ness days of the present month will
swell these figures considerably.

of erection. The Ninth ward is a part
of the Boyle Heights section where

THURsToN COUNTY. THIEVES
The Condition Of Affairs in Thurston
County, Neb., Grows Worse

The transactions with the Indians in
Thurston county have been on the part
of the thieves and scoundrels that sur
round the reservation, often too nor
rible to relate. Things seem to be COM
ing to a climax The Winnebagos
have filed protest at Washington
with the secretary of the interior and
commissioner of Indian affairs of the
manner in which that tribe has been
robbed of it's lands and cast into outer
darkness by the white man for the last
twenty-five years. The Winnebagoes
declare their lands, which have appar-
emily been sold. by them have been
taken away fraudulently. Members of
the tribe, they assert, have been
forced to sign blank papers they knew
nothing about, checks they have re-
ceived have been taken from them by
force or Offset by enormous whisky
bills; their agents have falsified item
lied accounts they sent to the depart
ment, and during the last three months
have ridden all over the reservation
getting signatures from Indians to pa
pers which enabled the spectators to
get hold Of their property. The eli
max, they charge, came when their
agent himself handed to spectators d.

over their control. The British Trac-
ton company is making hard fight to
renew it's franchises and has offered
to pay Is per cent of the receipts of
those companies which have the free
use of their streets. But the Birming-
ham authorities have rejected all
terms. They proceeded to employ Al
fred Baker, formerly in charge of the
London tramways and justly regarded
as one of the most capable experts
in Great Britain, and have placed him
in charge of the proposed municipal
system. Instead of electricity, which
they refused to instill until recently,
the company which held the lease
used steam power. The motor looks
like a box freight car with a stovepipe
thrust through the roof, and when one
of them goes putting and churning
along the street strangers are over
come either with fright or amusement
Such is the service which Birmingham
proposes to supersede with a strictly
modern plant It's experience with pri-
vate tramway companies has been SIM
liar to that of score of other British
cities which in sheer self defense have
been forced into public ownership in
order to escape the antique methods
of those stockholders who imagine
that improvements war on dividends.
