PROPERTY OWNERS ON BUENA
VISTA PERSISTENT
STICK TO ORIGINAL PLANS
They Argue That Historical Societies
Have No Right to Dictate What
They Shall Do With Their
Holdings

Property owners on Buena Vista
originated some time ago to change
the name of that thoroughfare to
North Broadway from it's intersection
with Sunset boulevard northward
have never abandoned their fight and
through their persistency the question
will be fought out before the board
of public works Friday afternoon.
Several months ago petition signed
by goodly number of the property
owners on the street was filed with
the council asking that the name be
changed as specified. The Native Sons
and Daughters got up a counter pc
tition, signed by the other property
owners on the street, praying that the
name be left as historical mile post
in the growth of Los Angeles.
This protest was not so numerously
signed as the original petition, but the
Native Sons made such a fight that the
council took the question under ad-
visement and conscientiously tried to
however, for the citizens desiring the
change stuck to their guns and the
whole question will have to be fought
over again.
Would Preserve Old Names
The Native Sons and similar organi-
cations argue that the old Spanish
and Indian names for the streets in the
city should be carefully safeguarded
and kept as heirlooms of a generation
past.
The business men owning property
or the street say, however, that the
historical societies have no business
quitting in" on their street and de-
clare they will present a petition
signed by majority of the property
owners asking for the change, and
then the city's Legislative body will
have no other course but to grant the
request. They also state that should
the change be made the name of
Buena Vista street will be applied to
that section of the thoroughfare lying
between Sunset boulevard and Temple
street.
When Broadway ended at the bluff
on California street all was well. but
when the tunnel was dug it came out
on Buena Vista street. so that one
travelling on Broadway north suddenly
finds that he is on Buena Vista street.
The property owners promise large
and important improvements If the
name is changed.

Good Comes
Out Of Every Evil
From the New York Evening Mail.

Probably Mr.. John A. Nichols had no idea how much
philology he was dumping on the country when he wrote
to Mr.. Depew about his ADVANTAGEOUS friend up the
river "Rantankerous' is an obsolete word. known
only to the older, not to say the ought-to-know better,
generation to which Mr.. Nichols belongs; and when IL
came out at the investigation it habbergasted the repor-
ters and printers to such an extent that Mr.. Nicholss
friend bobbed up at once all over the country as our
cantankerous friend, our rambunctious friend" our
rantancarous friend and, to a limited extent as our
ADVANTAGEOUS friend Then began the process of in
Producing the country to the word that was really used.
The three different adjectives included between the
quotation marks above are not at all synonymous. Each
one represents an idea quite different from each of the
others, "Rantankerous' is derived from 'rantan," a
drunken spree, from which in it's turn is derived the
ly," meaning violently, stormily, intemperateiy. A ran
tankerous person is one who COMFORTS himself in a noisy,
clustering manner, and is also quarrelsOmely inclined.
"Cantankerous" means contentious, cross, crotchety,
snarly, disagreeable; it is a recognized word, and Is
supposed to be derived from old English "contek," mean
ing strife. A "cantankerous old maid" is a morally an
gular one, not necessarily a noisy one. But 'rambunc-
tiousness" may not involve any quarrelsomeness at all,
"Rambunctious" is probably a developed form Of the
earlier "rambustious" and "rambustious" is supposed to
be a corruption of "boisterous." Your rambunctious man
is noisy and aggressive. He is super-vital He butts
in. He raises a rumpus, but not necessarily in an Of
fensive way.
Out of the mystery of picturesque nomenclature
surrounding him came our friend up the river himself,
Mr.. W. S. Manning. He sat before us in the committee
ROOM What had We gone forth for to see? Was he
rantankerous, cantankerOus, rambunctious, rambustious,
or all four? What we beheld was simply Supplying.
Here was an aged, white bearded man of soft voice and
gentle mein, properly likened to a particularly good
natured Santa Claus, and looking out upon the world
from round and beaming eyes that never could suggest
a single one of the definitions of all four of the words
in question. And then the truth dawned. Il was not
Manning that was ADVANTAGEOUS. 1t was just Nichols,

FOOD

This land of the brave and home of the free is at
the present time suffering from a plethora of wrong do
ing, the underlying cause of which is an i%nordinate greed
for gain. This greed has produced all the corruption
in Office, all the thieving in places Of trust, all the evils
OF child labor, all the Irregularities in railway manage
ment, all the impositions of trust-in a word, all the Ills
which afhict and disgrace the country today.
All of these need to be restrained and punished by
the strong hand Of the law, for they are destroying the
manhood of our race as well as the peace, happiness,
development and ultimate prosperity of the entire peo-
pie. But amidst this seething mass of moral %putrifca-
ton. IL 1t be possible for one depth to exceed all others,
it must be the adulteration of foods. Yet Assistant
Commissioner Kracke, of the New York department OF
agriculture, says that in this matter drastic legislation
such as is being advocated by some periodicals, individ-
uals and associations, would do far more harm than
good"
On this a New York exchange says: When hayseed
and sugar, colored red with aniine dyes, are sold for
raspberry jam in greater quantities than the real stuff
when old felt cloth is chopped up, rotted with acids and
sold for mushrooms; when Rotten eggs are d%eodorized
with chemicals and sold to bakers to be used in making
cake; when spoiled fish, having gone beyond borax, is
treated with salts of zinc, aluminium and other metals,
and the gills colored with coal tar dyes to- give them a
fresh look; when boracic acid is squirted over chopped
beef, to "sweeten it." by the butcher under the custom
er's very eyes-when these and countless other unsani-
tary enormities are daily perpetrated upon a people who
have no defense, the time for drastic legislation on the
subject of pure food would seem to have arrived.

Reporters Rapid Transit.

When Archibald Mcmillan was in charge OF the Even
ing Press at Bay City, he had this experience; There
was a nomadc reporter in town known only as John
ME. He invariably looked like a hobo, wore clothes
several times too large for his squatty figure and used
more biz words than any other writer in the state. One
thing that Johnnie could do to perfection was to write
OF horses. He knew all about the noble animal and
was a regular blue book of the turf when it came to
pedigrees. He went through Del" McLean's fine stable
and produced an article that any paper might be proud
OF. This was presented to Mr.. Mcmillan, who said that
he would have time to read and pass upon it in about
an hour. That was not at an TO Johnnie's liking. He
couldn't bear to wait for money when he thought there
was any in sight. I'm call you up by phone" he said,
and get your decision Inside of hve minutes there
was a ring, and it was Johnnie asking about that article.
Told You that couldn't read it for an hour. It
hasn't been five minutes Where are you?"
Down in Essexyille"
Impossible, sir. Couldn't have got a third Of the
way there If you We're on wings"
Didn't need wings. When / came out OF your office
there were seven creditors waiting for me and they
chased me down here Eastern a locomotive can go. Been
here fifteen minutes
Say, IN take the article on faith and send you the
order boy a fast messenger"
But Johnnie was there before the ink was dry and
looked like innocence in the flesh. He had t~elephoned
from the next door-Detroit Free Press.

LETTER OF MP. CHAvEz

The letter of Hon. e. V. Chavez, addressed to SEN
alter %Beveridge, on the subject of joining New Mexico
and Arizona in a single state, is one of the strongest
movements yet made to accomplish that desirable end.
The position of MI. Chavez as one of the foremost law
yers of New Mexico, and the marked and plainly manifest
ability which the letter fself so clearly displays. are
sufficient in themselves TO make it a most forceful docu-
ment; but they, with all their force, are the least in con-
tributing to the influence which the letter cannot but
produce.
Mr.. Chavez is in position to speak to and for his
citizens of Spanish descent. When
he says we it means something. His ancestors and
those of thousands of others for whom he speaks, have
dwelt in this land continuously since the time the
Pilgrim fathers settled around Plymouth Rock. Such is
the force of his we" when speaking for Joint state
hood. How small il makes. by mere contrast, the boy
ish sentimentality of a New Mexico newspaper owner.
who has neither ancestors nor descendants in the terri
tory, and who after a residence here of less than a dozen
years, says we have been fighting for single state
hood for fifty years, and if I'VE" can't get that 1--WE" don't
want any kind whatever!
Should the joint statehood league have thousands of
copies of this letter from Mr.. Chavez printed for distri-
button at home and abroad, The Citizen thinks the cause
OF jointure would thereby be greatly strengthened. The
example set by Mr.. Chavez should also be reinforced
by the leagues obtaining letters from other leading ma
tive citizens who, like him and Antonio Joseph, are
stalnch advocates of the joint statehood movement.

Sunnyside sun: Where given long uninterrupted
occupancy Of a position, officials sometimes grow care
less and arrogant, forget their obligations as public SER
wants, and assume unto themselves powers, privileges
and prerogatives not in consonance with the letter and
spirit Of their commissions-in short, use their positions
for personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT, oppression and the vent
ing OF petty spites, and whenever or wherever this condi-
ton prevails the public welfare and he rights of the
people imply the urgent necessity for an immediate
change ina such Office.

New Mexican: A man In Denver is the insurance
adjuster for Colorado and New Mexico and he fixes fire
insurance rates at his own sweet will, regardless of fair
ness, justice and equity. Another excellent reason why
life and fire insurance companies should be placed under
national control and why publicity should he given at
stated times TO their doings. After all. il is becoming
quite well established, that the interests Of the policy
holders are somewhat greater than those of the money
sharks who are in control of the life and fire insurance
business of the country.

The opponents of statehood are trying 10 console
themselves by claiming that they have a greatly bene-
hcial support in representative Tawney. who recently
visited Arizona. But their hope will doubtless be like
Jonahs gourd which sprang up in a night and died down
IN another night. Mr.. Tawney is TOO anxious to secure
the Craftsmanship OF the committee on appropriations TO
antagonize Speaker Cannon on a question in which the
speaker Is SO much interested as he is in that Of Joint
statehood.

The following from the ST. John, Ariz. Herald is
worthy OF consideration in this section: 1t has rained
every month this good year of 1905, in this county
iApache), and the rains haven't been little drizzle- draz-
zies, either. This is the frstt year of the rainy period
predicted for Arizona, which is to last five more years.
Now Is a good time to make up your minds to plant
big crops of small grains early next spring ana rean big
harvests next summer, if You have any faith in the me-
Theological reports. The prediction held good for the
past year at leastt. and many lost 10y not planting crops
this year.

Artesia Adynca

Artesia Advocate: The question that arises today
is, shall the people own and operate the peoples water
supply or shall a franchise be granted a private com
pany? The Advocate is opposed to the granting of the
particular franchise asked and some of our reasons for
this opposition has been given. We believe it within
me province OF a newspaper to place before the people
any proposition that concerns their welfare. Further,
that as a public mouthpiece 1t becomes it's duty to do so.
That Is what the people pay for and have a right to de-
hidhd' ana when the paper fails to performing this pub
lie duty, II ceases TO be of proper value to the COM
munity.

The new country home of the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt, an unexpected visit to which on Thanksgiy-
ing day threw the press reporters out for one day. but
no more, was purchased last summer by Mrs. Roosevelt
from VIM. n. Wilmer, a New York banker, and Mrs.
Roosevelt's original idea in acquiring it was to use it for
Just such purposes as the one made-for short visits
at any time the Roosevelt family might feel like leaving
washington for rest and quiet or an oyer-hoiday pas
Time. The place comprises a hfteen-acre tract of land
and a modest little two-story dwelling. The house was
improved to suit the needs and tastes of Mrs. Roosevelt,
and is deep in the heart of the woods. Its color is ochre
with brown trimmings and green blinds. A broad
porch extends across the front, and at the end. where
an oak tree grows, the roof of the porch has been neatly
built around. The farm is removed some miles from
the railway and is difficult to reach. 1t is located one
and a half miles east of Keene postofice. in the southern
part OF Albemarle county, Va. and a little more than
six miles from S%cottville, a small shipping point on the
James river.

Christmas, the old Roman Saturnalia,
the feast of Saturn, has come and is past
for 1905. The day was ideal; the ther-

day.
An entertainment was given by the
school children on the evening of the:
23rd. A most interesting and instruct
i've program was rendered blythe pupils,
in an excellent form, showing that the:
actors had been thoroughly drilled in;

all acted their parts SO we'll it WOULD
perhaps, be unjust to mention any par
ticular one. We think, however, we
can without giving any heart ache,
mention Frank Brown. Ii is, SO far as
we can learn, the. opinion of all who
attended that he 'excelled.
This season of the year recalls the
DAYS OF our youth, when it was: usual to
recite that beautiful gen. "Grey's

follows: .t~# -
C""The curfew tolls the knell OF parting
day;
The lowing herd winds slowly DER the
lea;
The pillow boy homeward plods his weary
way,
And leaves the world to darkness and
TO me-"
To make the occasion more cheerful,
some would recite "'The Burial OF Sir
John More" The. first verse was some
thing IKE this:
:"Notia drum was heard, nor a funeral
note,

ried. :. " ! - j. !.
