Fl. F. Woods of Los Angeles Is the
owner of a corner lot on Ocean boule-
ward, at Santa Barbara, facing the
beach, across the street from Plaza
del Mar and adjoining the Potter hotel
grounds. Mr.. Woods will let the con-
tract shortly for the erecting of large
business block on the lot to be used
as curio store and roof garden.
M. Metzler has returned from Dem
yer, Colo, where he resided when a
boy. Like all loyal Angelenos he is
glad to get back home, and says there
is no place like Los Angeles.
Architect S. Tilden Norton has taken
suite 316 in the Byrne building, where
he has better light and more space in
which to transact business.
Oswold Zahn, who is engaged in
letting the contracts for the erection oe
the Zahn building on the corner cf
Broadway and Franklin, knows how
difficult it is to find contractor tc
make excavations Tor the improve
ment. He spent ten days trying to find
man who would dig the basement.
All parties engaged in. that kind of
work were busy elsewhere. None
would take the job and agree to begin
work at once. Finally Mr.. Zahn was
forced, much against his WILL to let the
contract with the understanding that
ground would be broken within two
weeks. Three thousands yards OF
earth are to be removed.
E. A. Forester & Sons, realty dealers,
have vacated room AL Douglas build
ing, and are now the fortunate occu-
pants of rooms 342, S4S and S44 in the
same building. The new location is
much more desirable in every way for
the growing business of the firm. For
roster & Sons had to pay a bonus to
secure their present quarters.
Recently c. Stunt of East Second
street, Los Angeles, sold the property
on the southeast corner Of Thirty-first
street and Flora avenue, at Kansas
City. Mo-, to st. Vincents church for
$21, 500 cash.

Los Angeles continues to forge ahead
in the building line. Evidence of sub
stantial Improvements Is visible in all
quarters of the city. Architects state
that they see no chance ahead for va
cation trips property owners and con-
tractors pestering them constantly for
plans and specifications. Present con-
dtions augur we'll for the future and
show that Los Angeles is spreading out

n. e. Huntington Expected to Inaug-
urate improvements on His Ar-
rival From the East-lm-
portant Sales

Money invested in Los Angeles real
ty particularly in the business section

district, is certain to net handsome
returns. This Is the view held by
realty dealers, and consequently the
past week has recorded a number Of

Many deals have been closed at good
figures, but 1t is understood on inside
information that "big things" are to
develop in certain localities that will
insure early and satisfactory profits.
Office and street talk is to the effect
that something important in the build
ing line will be planned for South
Main street, below Ninth street, on the
arrival of H. e. Huntington from the
east, but no one will make any posi-
tive statement as to the character of
the proposed improvements.

ance and Trust company to r. A.

'creasing in value. A large apartment
will soon be erected on the lot.

RUSSIA'S WHEAT
CROP IN DANGER

It is reported that owing to lack Of
storage and transportation facilities
the country's entire crop is jeopar-
died.
From an authentic source it is re-
ported that owing to lack Of transpor-
tation and storage facilities in Russia.
the grain shipping situation is in
precarious condition. This spring,
transportation at St. Petersburg was
blocked. At all times tens of thous-
ands of cars were at standstill
Recently a large number of cars were
received at St. Petersburg in fer
mented condition and were condemned
to be burned This blockade not only
affects the grain now in storage and
in transportation, whereby thousands
of carloads will be lost, but the safety
of the present crop is also jeopardized,
as the outlook at present is that the
way cannot be cleared to handle the
new crop.

NOTHING IS FORGOTTEN.
One Story That Illustrates the Te- nacity of the Subjective
 Mind.

A year ay,e Chicago woman was wis., iting in ( New York village. She went with her hostess to make a call on the next-door neighbor. The woman on whom.she was calling incidentally men, toned that she expected a niece who was just graduating at some college. Her name was not mentioned. A few days later the Chicago woman left. On her way to the station she stopped neXE door to get a parcel. It was handed to her by a young woman. That is all there was to that end of the story.
 One day lately the Chicago woman went on lake trip. On the boat she met young woman from neighbor- ing state. Each thought the others face was familiar but neither said any thing about it. Finally a common friend happened to mention a Michi- gan summer resort to the Chicago wom an. The Chicago woman had never been there, but had relatives who went there every year. This led to a men, ton of the New York village. In a flash the Chicago woman knew that the girl with the familiar face was the one who gave her the parcel the day she
 left. The minute the name of the vil- ;age was mentioned to the girl she rec )gnzed the Chicago woman as the one to whom she had handed the parcel.
 This is good example of what the hypnotists and ''suggestionists" call
 the subjective mind. It illustrates very aptly the old saying that nothing is 'ealIy forgotten, and that all impress slons Are indelibly engraved upon the mental retina. In this fact lies the ex- rlanation of many vagaries of the mind that on the face of things puzzle the scientists.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
