DEVELOPMENT IN
THE NORTHWEST
QUICK SALES POSITIVE EVI.
DENCE OF VALUE
Acreage Bought at $500 Per Acre
Selling at $3.50 to $1,000 Per
Lot-EIectrc Railway
Extensions

The remarkable success that has at
tended the preliminary sale of Grider
& Hamiltons tract on Santa Monica
avenue on the ColegroVe car line, and
the numerous sales of acreage lying
on and near Western avenue, consid,
erably north of Wiltshire boulevard,
have united in renewing the interest OF
buyers in all that real property to
the northwest of the city. The sec
tion, especially along Western avenue,
is one of the most picturesque in or near
Los Angeles, and the class of buyers
who are going into the district promises
10 make 1t one of the most fashionable
residence sections of Los Angeles.
During the past week a tract of ten
acres on Western avenue, Immediate
ly adjoining Hack & Osborne's Ven
dome Park tract was sold at $4,000 per
acre to local syndicate. Another
tract of ten acres on Kohler street and
Melrose avenue, Immediately east of
the Stanford villa tract was bought
by local purchaser at $500 per acre.
Lots in THIS section have been selling
from $3.50 to $1,000 per lot. Grider &
Hamilton report that the sales amount
to nearly one-half their tract Of $40
acres, although the formal opening of
the tract is fixed for Dec. %.
Electric Railway Extension
Work on the extension of the West
Temple street line north on Western
avenue has progressed steadily. The
road will probably be in shape for cars
early in February. A substantial bond
has been raised by property owners
in that section for the West Sixth
street line to Western avenue and
thence on Western, and according to
the railway officials, this will be rushed
to completion.
These new electric lines bring this
entire district into much closer COM
munication with the business center
OF the city than is either the Pico
Heights district or the fashionable
West Adams Heights district, and the
| same increase in property values that
is noted in the district mentioned will
undoubtedly be repeated here during
| the winter months. This district lies at
an elevation 300 feet higher than either
| the Pico Heights or West Adams
| Heights districts
Hack e. Osborne report the con-
tinued demand for lots in the Ven-
dome Park tract, in which prices OF
the buyers in this tract are the follow

Special Gable to The Herald.
VIENNA. Dec. 16.--A book has ap-
peared here under the title Confessions
of Princess" The work processes to
describe the life of the former crown
princess of Saxony, now Countess Mon
tighoso, before her flight from Dresden,
and is written In the form of a diary.
The princess is alluded to as "Anas-
tasia," and her husband as johannes
Won Montesburg." Al the other per-
sons of the Saxon royal house bear
pseudonyms which are, however, so
transparent that the real actors are
easily discerned. The closeness Of de-
tail is somewhat more than surprising.
Such book might dissipate all the
sympathy hitherto felt, in spite OF her
failings, for the princess, and justify
the attitude assumed against her by
the Saxon court. The suspicion there
fore cannot be suppressed that 1t was
intended by an apocryphal work to rem
der final the breach between the prin-
cess and society.

BERLIN, Dec. 16.-A queer story of
a tragically interrupted comedy,
played in the theater of Schwarzen-
bach, comes from Munich. An actress
was playing her part in a love scene ir.
a very effective manner-so effective
that her acting did not commend itself
to her husband who was behind the
scenes. Believing that his wife was
really in earnest he discharged four
revolver shots at her. The actress fell
apparently dead, and the husband at
tempted to take his own life, but was
prevented. The actress was not killed,
however She had simply fallen on
the stage in swoon. In spite of NO
blood having been shed the perform
ance was not resumed.

that is the pride of Los Angeles, the

nounced that Mr.. Huntington will ex-
pend $3,50O000 in esta tablishing new cleo
trio power plants. One of the plants
will be at Redondo, requiring $SO0,OOO
to produce power for the improved sys-

Long Beach. The Allis-Chalmers COM

WOUNDS THAr STILL BLEED.

There is no sadder sight t2 be wit
messed amid all the sad reminders of
those dark days that settled over the
South during the Civil War than the
neglected cemeteries of the Confederate
dead. There, where JKenesaw Noun
tain like frewning sentinel, stands
black against the eastern sky, separ-
ated only by a narrow valley, two
cemeteries lie side by side; one is
beautiful with towering shrubs, SPLEEN
did monuments and well-kept grounds;
the other is fors AIKEN by man, the pine
posts that once told whose form had
been placed beneath that little mound
have rotted and fallen to the ground.
Over the graves, where sleep the men
who were once considered the idols of
the Southern cause, the thorn bushes
grow; here also briars tangle them
selves amid the wild morning glories,
whose shadows hide the mocking bird
and the owl; the one to taunt the tim
orous birds in the daytime, the other
to make the forlorn and dreary hours
of night dismal with it's ghostly boot,
like some spirit calling upon a nation
to care forthe spot wherein misfortune
had placed its earthly tenement The
terrible contrast is brought out
stronger between the two cemeteries
by a few well-kept graves among
sunken ones, where every year some
fond parent whose love still clings in
fond embrace about the memory of a
martyred son, comes each year to deck
his grave with flowers
No act HAT man could do, no words
that man could say, no deed, however
noble, could be more effective in
bringing about solid, friendly union
and do more toward cementiug the
ties between the North and the South,
than recognition in some way by the
North of the graves of those Confeder-
ates who fell in the Civil War. We
have only to deal with the living. Be-
yond the tomb we cannot go. A dying
soldier would lean as willingly upon a
Cenferate as upon his own comrade;
and yet there are no Northern flowers
Tor Southern graves; no Northern
tears for Southern grief. We, who
were justified in the struggle, con-
quered; and shall we expect a proud
people, crushed and Inundated, to
sue for brotherhood, whom we refuse
TO meet half way? The dead of both
sides are sacred-dear to each one:
and they who recognize this, and pay
tribute to the memory of our friends,
touch us nearest our hearts. And SO
it would be with an equal recognition
of both National and Confederate
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1905-05-10

cemeteries. If, somehow, they could
be cared for, however meagerly. it
would be the strongest strand in a
rope OF affection that would bind the
North and the South in genuine fealty.
1t would seem that jefferson Davis
appreciated these conditions and real
lied the magnitude to which the
country would attain in some future
time; how necessary it was that har-
mony should prevail, and that peace
in its broadcast sense should be estab-
hshed; for in a speech made only a
short time before his death he is
quoted as saying:
MIR. Chairman and Fellow Citizens.
All, pardon me, the laws of the United
States no longer permit me to design
ate you as fellow citizens, but / am
| thankful that may address you as
friends. l feel no regret that | stand
before you this afternoon a man with
Jout country, for my ambition lies
buried in the grave of the Confederacy.
There has been confined not only my
ambition, but the dogmas upon which
that government was based.
| "The faces see before me are those
OF young men. Men in whose hands
the destinies of our southland lies: for
the love OF her I break my silence to
speak to you few words of respectful
admonition. The past is dead-let it
bury Its dead, its hopes and its aspir-
ations; before you lies the future-a
future full of golden promise, future
full of expanding national glory, be-
fore which all the world shall stand
amazed.
''Let me beseech you to lay aside all
bitter sectional feelings, and to take
your places in the ranks of those who
will bring about contamination de-
vout.y to be desired-a reunited
country
This sentiment, coming from the
source it does, is almost prophetic and
suggests the following verses.
THE past is dead!" alone it sleeps;
Yet all to whom its hope it gave
Bend low in reyerential ave-
Above its lowly, grief-kissed grave.
A nations destiny obscure,
Ambition, hope and signal power
The pompo of uncrowned kingly state,
The cherished dreams Of many an hour,
Lie buried here amid the wrecks
OF still from beneath its gloom,
Its persisted hopes, its bitter grief
Its constancy beyond the tomb,
/ veice is heard that bids the South
Arise. forgive, let quarrels cease,
And take its place within the ranks
or those who strive for endless peace.
Has he no power to sway your hearts.
Who speaks to yon from out the grave;
Who. resting now with buried hopes
| Would Still his country's honor saver
