ORGANIZE COMPANY TO SEEK
PEARLS
Articles Of Incorporation Filed at the
County Clerks ofhce-state In-
tention to Work In Gulf
Of California

Following IN the footsteps OF the
cate composed Of Los Angeles business
men will. within the next year, attempt
TO lift from the silent waters Of the
gulf of California the treasure Of pearl
and tortoise shell which for the pass
three centuries has been sought by
fortune hunters.
The first step In the work Of discov-
ering the treausre was taken yester-
day, when articles of incorporation Of
the Mexican Pearl company we're filed
at the county clerks office.
The directors of the comptny are r.
T. Goodhue, w. II. Killeby, r. e. Linn.
Donald Barker and ]. A. Christy The

subscribed.
In the petition the incorporators state
their intentions of working the waters
of the gulf of California for pearls,
mother f-pearl and tortoise shell and
ask permission of the state to begin
active operations at once.
The pearls of the southern gulf have
q history long and disastrous. Shortly
after the discovery of America and the
coming Of the Cabrillo to the shores of
the CALIFORNIA;, the rumor of a great
treasure of pearl to be found on the
western coast was circulated among the
gentlemen of Spain. and Coronado and
Cortez were among the first to come
and hunt for it.
Hundreds Perish in Quest
Coronado started from Old Mexico in
1910 and travelled across the country
now known as New Mexico until he
rached the district now known as
Kansas. The adventurer failed to find
the gold and pearls for which he
searched, and, disheartened. ne turned
back and reached the Spanish settle
ments in Central America in safety.
But hundreds Of his men failed to re-
turn and their bodies were left OH the
plains.
Cortez and his band were searching
for the same fatal pearls when they
came to the CALIFORNIA; and sought Ell
Dorado which hundreds of years later

Many a farmer hesitates tQ go into

are just as hardy and just as easily
raised as any other domestic animal
Like any other animal, they are sub

Breeding and
Care of Swine

Our experience in the breeding and
care Of swine has long since led to the
conclusion that success in saving young
pigs is much more certain by having
each SOW In a separate pen at farrow-
ing time. And the SOW should be al
lowed to occupy this house long enough
to feel perfectly at home before tho
pigs arrive, writes a Pennsylvania

Corn For Horses.

Corn is a strong, healthy food and is
much appreciated by hard worked
horses, because 1t furnishes SO much
energy. In the southern part Of the

on corn. Farther north, where oats
are the main crop, they subsist almost
entirely on the latter grain. A com

closing of stores on Saturday nights at a
recent meeting Of the Retail Clerks Local,
No. &c. at Society Temple, owing to num-
erous protests that were on file for its vio-
lation on the part of various merchants.
Many of the protests were from merchants
who were themselves abiding by the agree
ment. but who were not disposed to con-
tinue to do SO If the fragrant violation of it
on the part of other merchants was to be
tolerated. After discussion of the SUBJ
ject. 1t was referred to the proper COM
mlttee with instruction to wait upon the
merchants guilty of the violation of the
agreement and inform them that the union
would insist upon their closing according
to the terms of the agreement, especially
with regard to Saturday night.
The local was addressed by President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. He urged the members to
remain steadfast to the association. which
he declared was their only real security.
He took occasion to refer with special en-
phasis to the necessity of making the asso-
of the craft. Make the association your
savings bank he urged. The address was
well received.

clerks is IN prosperous condition and 1t
was said the association will soon take up

diuons In this respect will be uniform for
