Pasadena Agency,
ia East Colorado Street

PASADENA, Oct. 30.-The Grown city
now has a second magnificent site upon
which the proposed woman's college for
Southern California can be located. T.
N Randolph of Los Angeles, repre-
senting Senator Stephen w. Dorsey, to-
day formally offered fifty acres of land
adjoining the city on the northeast for
this purpose. Senator Dorsey was the
guest of President Linnard and the offl-
GERS of the local board of trade at
dinner this evening at the Hotel Mary
land at which time the splendid offer
was repeated and minor details or the
proposed gift talked about.
If will be remembered that a syndi-
cate of CAPITALISTS, of which Senator
Dorsey is the head has recently ac-
ouired considerable real estate in the
section named. the senator himself
purchasing a number of valuable pieces
of property for private investment.
Extensive improvements in this prop
erty have been planned and contracts
for much of the work are about ready
to let Streets and boulevards will be
laid out and miles of cement curbs,
sidewalks and cutters laid out and then
the tract will be thrown open to pros
pectiVe purchasers. Villa street viii De
extended into the tract is boule-
ward 125 feet in width and an electric
street car line will undoubtedly reach
the territory from Pasadena in the
near future.
1t is in the midst of this new sub
division that the ground for the wo-
mans college is located. Most of the
hfty acres offered is cultivated and
covered with orange trees and grapes
and the whole of it lies on command
ing plateau overlooking the mountains
and the plains below 1t is about two
and one-half miles from the center of
the city and is wonderfully suited to
the demands of the proposed college.
Pasadena is now prepared to offer
two magnificent sites for this institu-
ton, that at Kinneloa, offered by the
millionaire Abbot Kinney, and the pres
ent one. offered by Senator Dorsey.
Now if the leaders in raising the neceS-
sary endowment can complete their
task the Crown city can furnish un-
rivaled locations from which to choose.

SPECULATION DEFINED

Widespread misapprehension exists as to the
difference between speculation and investment.
What Is mans investment Is anothers
speculation, and what is one mans speculation,
may be another's business.
These terms are commonly used In such . way
as to make 1t difficult to determine the exact
meaning intended, says the Wall Street journal.
Even the Standard dictionary, in its definitions,
uses the word investment in explaining the
meaning Of speculation. Thus it says that "To
speculate is to make 4 purchase or investment
that involves a risk, but also offers chance of
considerable profit as to speculate in stocks"
To invest, it says, Is ito lay out money In the
purchase Of property especially for permanent
use as opposed to speculation" These two
definitions do not convey a very clear idea of
the difference between the two acts, and it Is
interesting to note that the dictionary even says
that to speculate is Ito make an investment -
It would seem clear that exact definition can
is investment, and what Is speculation depends
in each individual Instance upon the conditions
and the persons involved. .
Broadly speaking the difference between in
vestment and speculation Is a question Of time
and risk. Thus an investment is the laying out
Of money for a permanent and regular income
and this permanence and regularity Of income
carries with it the least possible risk for the
capital thus invested. Speculation is the laying
out Of money for a short time in the hope Of a
large profit, and this necessarily involves more
or less risk. In the stock market, 1t is custo-
mary to speak Of investment as being the
laying out Of money in high class, but low in
come yielding securities, these securities to be
paid for in full enl put aside in safe deposit
vaults for permanent keeping. - =

CAR FAMINE NOT ABATED

The prospects for an abatement Of the car
famine are even remote, altho the lake season is
drawing to close. 1t has been believed all
along, says the Black Diamond, that with the
close of navigation the great lakes
Der of cars would be diverted to the all-rail
trade and that the tonnage of coal would be
increased. Here is the situation one carry
ing road. The Hooking Valley in Ohio has !, 400
cars approximately engaged IN transporting coal
to lake docks. Ordinarily at this season Of the
year it should have 5000 cars In that branch Of
it's business. When the lake season is ended
the addition of this equipment to the all-ran
trade will not help the situation very greatly,
owing to the difficulty which will be experienced
in getting the cars back from foreign roads and
also because of the further fact that the hauls
will be longer. Other railroads engaged in haul
ing coal to lake ports are in the same position
relatively, as to equipment The tonnage which
moved to northwestern docks during October was
very small comparatively, because the railroads
did not have the usual quota Of cars.
It is evident, therefore, from careful
analysis of the situation that this source of hope
as to an improved car supply will not furnish
much relief. There is still another feature in
connection with the matter. The strain on the
motive power Of the various coal carrying roads
during the past two months had been tre-
mendous. This can not continue without loco
motives playing out, and as soon as there
is cold weather, the inability to move tonnage
will be caused both by lack Of motive power
and shortage of cars. .. '..

CANADIAN WHEAT

Close to 25, 900, 600 bushels inspected and
nearly 10000, 600 marketed Is the record Of
the wheat crop of the Canadian west to date.
Tuesday, Nov. 6, was the biggest day on re
cord in the inspectors office, as 674 cars passed
inspection on that date, yet this is not as
great a surprise as the handling of wheat by
the Canadian Pacific railway. 1t is doubtful
if in the whole history Of railroading such a
record has been made and maintained for SO
long a period on a single track system. So
we'll have both the Canadian Pacific and Canad-
ian Northern railroads done that tho there Is
no doubt more cars could be used at many
points, and few points have been tied up
for a matter of three days at time, there
has been absolutely no blockade in the real

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK

The marketing of cattle this week at Sioux
City has been fairly liberal but ran short Of
last week by 2,4Oo head. Mondays marketing
was heavy, and about 5000 head were re-
ceived which was one cause for the break
in values. The stocker and feeder market
opened with bids generally 16c lower than
the high time Of last week and as the day
advanced prices ruled 15@25c lower with the
decline largely on the inferior grades of cat
tie. On this basis, the trading for the balance
Of the week showed little or no change, altho
with only a light marketing there was a
better tone and the offerings were bought lip
more readily than is usual the closing days
Of the week. Dealers have managed to get
rid of their holdings and good clearance ss
in sight. This fact should have good effect
on the trade the coming week and with a more
is generally looked for. Good feeders sold
this week from SS.5O@8.75 and the bulk Of the
300 and 900 pound steers changed hands at
s3.4o@s.eO The inferior quality stockers sold
from $2.50@3.OO. In yearling weights the good
quality steers sold up to $780, but the bulk
of the sales were at $2.75@3.25, and the COM
mon down to 80 Stock heifers have found
a good outlet this week at $2.oo@2eo. The
bull market showed semblence of q de-
cline and there were more orders for steer bulls
than the trade could supply and prices ranged
| from $2.OO@265.
The fat cattle market opened tho week
market was generally quoted 10c lower with
the few steers sale at about tho same de-
cline. Nothing very good was received in the
steer line and the offerings sold at $9.75@4. 80,
with the range steers up to $500 and Dakota
Texans at s3.3O63.65. In COWS a few sales
were made at So 25M3.4O. but the good COWS
| sold generally at $2.75@8.o0 and the fair 'tc
good offerings at S24o6260. Gamers and cut
! ters sold from $1.50@21O.
Receipts Of hogs have been fairly liberal at
this and other markets and the packers have
ontinued to break values in anticipation OF
the HEAVIER runs In the near future. There has
been a gradual weakening in values each day

"The sugar trade shows the effect not only
Of the improved prices that have recently pre-
vailed thruout the world, but OF more salts

quantity there has been an increase Of about 50
per cent over the small showing Of 1904, and
slightly larger exports than for any previous
fiscal period during American occupation; while
export values under the advantage Of exceptional
prices show about million dollars to the
credit of the islands In excess Of that received
for nearly the same quantity exported In 1908 In
this favorable sugar trade the United States
participated conspicuously a purchaser. being
credited with about half the total. while the
remainder Is almost wholly appropriated by the
nearby oriental markets.
